The Cozy River Cottage is exactly that! You can read my review from the end of June 2024. Everything applies! We fished out of a couple places: the Elk Rapids Harbor was approximately a 20 minute drive. Lake Skegemog was approximately 20 minutes and the DNR ramp on Mission Peninsula was about 25-30 minutes. The boys caught a couple trout in the River behind the house waiting for the charcoal to fire up. We are already looking forward to booking our trip next year!! ##### Tammy G.

This is a place. I will definitely come back to and recommend to others. My group of girlfriends do an annual trip every year and this was a perfect choice. ##### Cheri M.

Only negative experience was the malfunctioning Direct TV volume- but we didnt go there for television. ##### Larry S. ### 10/10 Excellent #### TM T. Jun 24, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Wonderful, peaceful, glam cottage This is “cottage” glamping on the highest order. High end design meets the Up North woods… two of my favorite things. All the creature comforts, with the quiet and peace of woods and river. The property managers were available and responsive helping us with check in and granting us a bit more time due to the extreme weather (heat) during our stay. I was there to visit my ailing mother primarily, but coming back to stay here after our visits really made this last minute trip a respite of peace and refreshment. The dogs thoroughly enjoyed having the woods and river to explore. I had limited mobility on crutches, but managed a trip down the relatively short, narrow dirt path to the river. Absolutely beautiful inside and out. Loved our stay. Will definitely look here first for future visits. You won’t be disappointed!!For those who have physical and/or mobility limitations, the hard surface floors and ample doorways should help with wheelchair access. Though technically not an accessible space, it is workable. Both bedroom baths have hand showers - a huge help. The bunkbed bedroom’s attached bathroom has a low threshold step in shower (bring your own shower bench, if needed). There are no grab bars; keep that in mind. The toilets are standard height. (Helpful info to know if needed). ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/6c6b8716-3246-4c73-a5e4-6cb22135cf25-1750788824963.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/7f5ab911-d39d-4066-b6f6-dd84bf2f9ad0-1750788825097.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/ac6130d2-e692-4317-9c6b-473dd030d8a6-1750788828809.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### TM T.

Modern with all the right amenities and decorated with just the right amount of natural accents. Plus it’s surrounded by the beauty of nature, the Boardman River and a carpet of ferns. We were in the area to fish Grand Traverse Bay, Torch Lake and ended up in Petoskey’s Little Traverse Bay. We were with another couple who also brought their fishing boat. It was a little tight backing up 2 boats/trailers but there was plenty of room once we got them down the driveway. Beds were comfy, showers were fabulous, and there wasn’t anything we needed that it didn’t have. The only thing we couldn't find in the listing was if we needed charcoal for the grill….you do. But there’s a Dollar General not very far that solved that! We loved it so much that we chose to stay on the property on our last night instead of heading into Elk Rapids for dinner just to enjoy the surroundings on the spacious deck! Highly recommend and will stay there again in a heartbeat!! ##### Tammy G.

Oct 20, 2023 #### Cozy Cottage review Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This incredible cottage sits on 5 acres of beautiful and secluded property. We loved the setting, even with rainy 40° weather, but our week was ruined to find that we had been unaware that we were under surveillance by an outdoor hidden camera monitoring our every move inside the great room. Though apparently intended for security purposes on the sliders which have no window treatments, it was unsettling. VisitUpNorth dismissed our concerns and suggested we simply unplug the camera during the remainder of our stay but instructed us to plug it back in upon our departure. The camera should have been disclosed. A report was filed with the Grand Traverse Sheriff’s Dept. ##### Chris B. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Pamela G. Jul 12, 2025 ##### Pamela G.
