Outstanding Boardman River setting with the cutest cottage imaginable. Totally remodeled in 2012 to acommodate year round vacationing. Stone fireplace, extra large windows overlook the river from the living room. The covered porch with flagstone patio creates one of the best outdoor relaxing areas with the scenic Boardman a short fly cast away. Beautifully landscaped and flower gardens everywhere make this a Better Homes and Gardens gem. Fishing, hunting, canoeing, kayaking, tubing - fun for the whole family. Property is on both sides of the river. Nice pool out front is a trout magnet and good swimming hole.
