TC Tiny House Near Boardman Lake Trail

This tiny, cozy, 600SF home on lg, partially wooded lot has everything you need to be comfortable. Great, mixed-use location:1 block to Boardman Lake Trail (access at Center St), 1 mile to the Bay & downtown. < 1 mile to Brick Wheels bike & X-country ski rental. We like being able to walk or bike into town on the non-motorized pathway along Boardman River. As of June, 2025, a second home has been constructed at back of property, ~40 feet behind Tiny House. It is not yet occupied.

A nice location in TC for a couple of family! The host did a great job with tips on where to go to eat , things to see, etc — there is a giant map on the wall that is helpful and shows just how close you are to lots of things!

Great Family Getaway

This house was perfect for our family vacation in the area. There was a large backyard for the dog and young kids to play in. The property offered a lot of privacy. The area was very quiet and a great neighborhood for family walks. The house had everything we needed for our stay, and we made many meals in the house. It was our first time in the area, and it was a great home base for exploring the county. We all said we would love to return!

Cozy

We enjoyed our stay! We had a few things that we want to address - one of them- there's only two washcloths for two people for like five nights I'm not sure if past guests have stolen them so we just did laundry quite a bit and then my mom has a big preference about having two hand towels, one for your hands one for your face so we had to do laundry for that as well, so she just stated more hand towels, more washcloths, more dish rags, cause we don't use sponges in our family. Another thing that she said was that the house could use a second window unit and another box fan one for each bedroom because it gets pretty warm and the air conditioner doesn't quite reach to the bedrooms. Other than that you know just a good time. Some people might not care about the air or the washcloths or the dish rags we're picky nothing wrong with that.

Stayed at the Tiny House for a soccer tournament at Keystone Soccer Complex. The house was perfect for me! Susan is an excellent communicator and very accommodating. She wanted to ensure everything was great during my stay and that I was a happy camper. House was clean and tidy upon my arrival. Bedrooms are very small, but there are closets with hangers and one luggage rack. Beds are comfortable. It was great to have coffee, creamer, and laundry supplies furnished. There are several spices and staples in the pantry. Full sized fridge and microwave and plenty of plates, bowls, cups, and utensils. Living room is spacious for the house size and there is a small eating table with 2 chairs in the kitchen area (not shown in photos) which doubled as a desk for me as I had to work a bit. Wifi was good; no issues and streaming TV worked well. Lovely wooded area on one side of the house; had bunnies hopping around in the back! I would recommend and definitely would stay again. Thank you, Susan!
