We all enjoyed the comfortable “digs” and Tricia’s attention to detail. Especially nice to have coffee available. Saved us a trip to the store on our arrival. Very quiet and peaceful surroundings. Would definitely stay again if we travel in northern Michigan.

Can't wait to return!
The Guest House was in a perfect location to walking trails, Traverse City only a few minutes away, and great for downtime to relax. Our host, Tricia, was so welcoming and friendly. We look forward to returning and encouraging friends and family to stay at The Guest House.

Such a Peaceful Spot!
Rivershire is an awesome place! It's a peaceful place, but close to everything! The cottage is so clean! We hosted a small family dinner (8). BBQ worked great. There was plenty of everything in the kitchen. Tricia was a great host. Great stay. Thank you!

Great place for a relaxing getaway!
super clean and very comfortable space. Beds are great and kitchen is well stocked. Very quiet with good access to the beautiful Boardman River. Good internet. Some road noise that quiets down at night. Tricia is an awesome host very anxious to please. My husband and our adult son had a wonderful stay and hope to return!

Beautiful location
We came for a wedding and this was a good location for hikes near the river, museums and shopping in Traverse City, a trip to Sleeping Bear Dunes, and the wedding on the peninsula.
Tricia was very responsive to the minor issue we had and proactive when needed. Thanks Tricia

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!

Clean and cosy
The condo/apartment was very adequate for the four of us. It was clean and comfortable and easy to get to. Although I had to borrow another friends pot because there wasn’t one big enough for pasta! Lol. Would stay there again.

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!
