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.

Great Spot in TC!

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!

Perfect spot!!

I don’t think I will ever stay anywhere else in Traverse city! This is the cutest little spot for just a couple or 2 or small family! Loved the privacy in the back yard and location in general. Quiet street, big secluded back yard, nice kitchen and bathroom. Bedrooms small but we were barely there to sleep for the trip. Love visiting TC, see something new every time.

Cute little place

Our party of 3 stayed for a long weekend. The house is small but functional. Cute back yard space to sit outdoors. Close to town and easy access to the T.A.R.T trail. My only complaint is the beds. They are pretty hard and uncomfortable.
