Wonderful weekend getaway
Loved working with Trish to stay at her beautiful property! We were a last minute booking and she was wonderful to accommodate us. The townhouse easily held five of us with space for all of us. The property was well cared for with easy access to the water. Boardman River was great to float down with our tubes, next time we will bring kayaks too. The location was conveniently located to Traverse City and a 45 minute to one hour quick drive to charlevoix and Frankfort. We look forward to coming back and staying again!

Loved our stay!
We rented the apartment for a week and just loved our stay! Rivershire has a beautiful setting on the river and we especially enjoyed relaxing by the river, feeling the flowing waters wash our stresses away. We also had a great time kayaking the river. The apartment is super comfortable and has everything you need for a pleasant stay. There is some road noise off and on during the day but it quiets down during the evening and we got used to it after the first day. Tricia is an awesome host and has a deep love and reverence for Rivershire. We really enjoyed getting to know her a bit. She respects guests’ privacy but is available if you need something or just want to chat.
We look forward to staying at Rivershire again!

Thank you for this beautiful review! It was so nice having the two of you (Dave and Sherri) stay here. As happens with some (many) guests, you arrived as strangers and left as friends. (And ... As you also point out, I keep my distance unless someone wants to engage.) It always warms my heart when guests truly appreciate the Rivershire experience. You embraced it! We look forward to welcoming you back any time! Tricia
