We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this condo, with its beautiful view, comfortable furnishings, and quiet location. We enjoyed walking on the trail, watching the rowers on the lake, and being minutes away from shops and dining downtown. The elevator worked fine and the excavation/construction in the area was not an issue during our stay. Our host, Katy, gave us all the info we needed to gain access to the condo, responded quickly to our questions, and gave detailed instructions for checkout, making the process easy. One note: Amazon streaming service was primary. It was a new one to me, but we figured it out. We would gladly stay here again!

This condo was fantastic. The check in process was as simple and the instructions were very detailed. The entire building is classy and extremely quiet. Parking was also perfect. The walking trail literally runs right next to the building. The views were breathtaking…be sure to get up for the sunrise over the lake, it’s worth it! Also, I have stayed in countless VRBO properties and the kitchen in this unit was stocked far better than any I have ever seen. The choices of pans and dishes is extraordinary. The beds are comfortable and the bathrooms were super clean. Every room feels even more spacious due to the high ceilings and great lighting. All essentials are included too like trash bags, dishwasher soap, laundry detergent. So many extras that are so well thought out. We would 100% stay here again.

Requested an early check-in explaining that our guests were flying in shortly after 4PM and we wanted to get the car unloaded before picking them up from the airport. I was told that I would need to pay for an extra night to guarantee an early check-in, or if the space was not rented the day before, they would let me know the day of. On the day of, I sent another message and got an automated response saying they absolutely did not allow early check-ins. This response did not seem like it came from the same person I had been communicating with. Really, 15 minutes would have mad all the difference in the world. (Or even a more personable explanation as to why we could not get in early.) Aside from that experience, our stay was very enjoyable. We had been made aware of the construction ahead of time, and it wasn't very disturbing. There was an issue with the elevator that was dealt with promptly as well. I would strongly suggest that some window coverings be installed in the living area. When the sun is out, the southern half of the sofa is not usable.

We had a wonderful time staying at this property. The property and the view were both beautiful. We spent two of our three nights there cuddled up on the couch watching a movie with the fire going as snowflakes fell outside. That couch is so comfortable that we're considering replacing our couch at home with one like it. The property was well maintained, well stocked, and very secure. The location is great too. There were a TON of food options within a mile or two and I really can't think of any way it could be better.

This is the second time we've stayed at this property because it's absolutely perfect. There's a beautiful view over the lake, it's the perfect distance from the city where there's zero noise but it's a quick drive to anything you'd want. The place itself is wonderful. The couch is so cozy and perfect for napping and watching movies in front of the fireplace. The balcony is great for having breakfast while looking out over the lake. The bed felt like I was sleeping on a cloud. The kitchen is modern and any time I thought "Oh I wish we had ___" my wife would end up finding one in a cupboard somewhere. I could not be happier with my stay here, and if I'm in the area again I will probably be trying to get this space.

The condo is very clean and in a great location! It is stocked with everything you might need for your stay including pots/pans, towels, and even soap/shampoo in the showers. It's close enough to walk to downtown (about a mile) and there is also Right Brain and TC Distillery within a block. The only two downsides were the elevator was down when we were there and there wasn't an update on when it would be fixed so being on the 3rd floor wasn't fun for loading/unloading but that's not the fault of VRBO. Check-in time was more strict than any other place I have been and they ask for money for guaranteed early check-in. However, they were flexible and allowed us to get in a little more than an hour earlier, which we appreciated. It's a great place and I would definitely go back and stay!!

We stayed here with friends and it was just perfect. Spacious enough for 2 couples. They have thought of everything you may need while there. The location is great, close to downtown while not to close. The view is wonderful, we enjoyed sitting on the deck. The weather wasn’t ideal while we were there but that can never be predicted…..it’s Michigan. The owners response time for questions is very quick. The place is extremely clean, one of the first vrbo’s I’ve stayed at that I didn’t feel like I needed to do anything when we arrived it was just that clean. It’s a wonderful place and we all 4 said we will be back!

spacious beautiful confo-glitches with check- in and the television ( missed the big game of the football season due to streaming only) - but loved being on the lake- watching sunrise and sunsets and the crew teams practicing in mornings. Owners are most kind- a drawer of leftover containers. eco-friendly laundry soap and washing machine soap. Hope to book again soon and thx to staff who responded quickly to our issues. Central location to exploring the entire area and both peninsulas. No issues with construction noise although they were there our last two days. Wonderful stay!

We called this condo home base for day trips around the area. It was a lovely and peaceful place to land at the end of our very long days! The lake view is wonderful especially when it’s warm enough to enjoy the outdoor deck. The condo is beautifully appointed, incredibly comfortable and near lots of conveniences: stores, restaurants and access to downtown. Communication with the property owner is top-notch! Highly recommend!

The condo is perfectly located on the Boardman Lake trail, giving you access to downtown and beyond using the TART trails. It is perfect for biking and walking around. We didn’t even move our car for days. The condo is new and has great views. The design is great but there are some craftsmanship issues around the condo (doors don’t close right, vents not screwed in, etc). Also, there are no window treatments in the main room or the bathrooms. We stayed at a discounted summer rate due to construction across the tracks, which made it a great value. Don’t know if we would ever pay summer rates ($500/night).

This condo was exactly as portrayed. Very comfortable and fitted out with everything we needed to make our stay very enjoyable. The only disappointment were the TV channels…..way too limited with no local news, weather or sports. We would have liked to know before booking that it was streaming, no cable.

I love the light filled living room of this rental and the proximity to the trail. The management is superb to work with. This is not my first stay and won't be the last, when I come to TC.

spacious beautiful confo-glitches with check- in and the television ( missed the big game of the football season due to streaming only) - but loved being on the lake- watching sunrise and sunsets and the crew teams practicing in mornings. Owners are most kind- a drawer of leftover containers. eco-friendly laundry soap and washing machine soap. Hope to book again soon and thx to staff who responded quickly to our issues. Central location to exploring the entire area and both peninsulas. No issues with construction noise although they were there our last two days. Wonderful stay!

Requested an early check-in explaining that our guests were flying in shortly after 4PM and we wanted to get the car unloaded before picking them up from the airport. I was told that I would need to pay for an extra night to guarantee an early check-in, or if the space was not rented the day before, they would let me know the day of. On the day of, I sent another message and got an automated response saying they absolutely did not allow early check-ins. This response did not seem like it came from the same person I had been communicating with. Really, 15 minutes would have mad all the difference in the world. (Or even a more personable explanation as to why we could not get in early.) Aside from that experience, our stay was very enjoyable. We had been made aware of the construction ahead of time, and it wasn't very disturbing. There was an issue with the elevator that was dealt with promptly as well. I would strongly suggest that some window coverings be installed in the living area. When the sun is out, the southern half of the sofa is not usable.

We called this condo home base for day trips around the area. It was a lovely and peaceful place to land at the end of our very long days! The lake view is wonderful especially when it’s warm enough to enjoy the outdoor deck. The condo is beautifully appointed, incredibly comfortable and near lots of conveniences: stores, restaurants and access to downtown. Communication with the property owner is top-notch! Highly recommend!

We stayed here with friends and it was just perfect. Spacious enough for 2 couples. They have thought of everything you may need while there. The location is great, close to downtown while not to close. The view is wonderful, we enjoyed sitting on the deck. The weather wasn’t ideal while we were there but that can never be predicted…..it’s Michigan. The owners response time for questions is very quick. The place is extremely clean, one of the first vrbo’s I’ve stayed at that I didn’t feel like I needed to do anything when we arrived it was just that clean. It’s a wonderful place and we all 4 said we will be back!

The condo is very clean and in a great location! It is stocked with everything you might need for your stay including pots/pans, towels, and even soap/shampoo in the showers. It's close enough to walk to downtown (about a mile) and there is also Right Brain and TC Distillery within a block. The only two downsides were the elevator was down when we were there and there wasn't an update on when it would be fixed so being on the 3rd floor wasn't fun for loading/unloading but that's not the fault of VRBO. Check-in time was more strict than any other place I have been and they ask for money for guaranteed early check-in. However, they were flexible and allowed us to get in a little more than an hour earlier, which we appreciated. It's a great place and I would definitely go back and stay!!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this condo, with its beautiful view, comfortable furnishings, and quiet location. We enjoyed walking on the trail, watching the rowers on the lake, and being minutes away from shops and dining downtown. The elevator worked fine and the excavation/construction in the area was not an issue during our stay. Our host, Katy, gave us all the info we needed to gain access to the condo, responded quickly to our questions, and gave detailed instructions for checkout, making the process easy. One note: Amazon streaming service was primary. It was a new one to me, but we figured it out. We would gladly stay here again!

Got this place during what I’d assume is the down season for Traverse tourism and it was wonderful. Easy bike ride away from pretty much anything you could want to do downtown. Great view over Boardman Lake. We even got to watch a crazy thunderstorm over the lake one day and a beautiful sunrise 2 days later. The place itself was immaculate and had so many amenities (the flat top on the stove is perfect). Another perk we didn’t know about until we got there is that there is a brewery 200ft away and Traverse City Whiskey Co. is a couple blocks away as well. Awesome place, and so glad we stayed.

We loved our stay! The place is clean and within walking distance to local attractions. It does get a little buggy since the place is right off the Boardman Lake but the view is amazing though. Highly recommended.

The condo is perfectly located on the Boardman Lake trail, giving you access to downtown and beyond using the TART trails. It is perfect for biking and walking around. We didn’t even move our car for days. The condo is new and has great views. The design is great but there are some craftsmanship issues around the condo (doors don’t close right, vents not screwed in, etc). Also, there are no window treatments in the main room or the bathrooms. We stayed at a discounted summer rate due to construction across the tracks, which made it a great value. Don’t know if we would ever pay summer rates ($500/night).

Very clean property. Had everything needed for making meals, etc. Had plenty of towels and laundry supplies. Beautiful view of Boardman Lake. The only drawback was that there was no luggage cart which made moving in a little bit difficult. However, there was an elevator. Would recommend.
