Also at the north end there is a community sailing school and the entry to the Boardman River, that flows through downtown Traverse City and goes into the west arm of Grand Traverse Bay, of Lake Michigan. This makes for a wonderful paddle. Rentals are available at the south end of the lake, on South Airport Road.

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.

Thank you for the review. We’re glad the property was clean, well stocked, and that you enjoyed the Boardman Lake view. We appreciate the note about a luggage cart and are sorry your move-in was challenging. Glad the elevator helped a bit with transporting your items to the unit. Hope to host you again.
Easy access. Unit had a beautiful view of Boardman Lake. We had a relaxing stay in the middle of a snow storm. Enjoyed the gas fireplace, expansive view, spacious bedrooms and baths, and comfortable beds. Shopped at the coop. Made meals and family memories!
This condo was probably the best we have stayed at. Very clean and communication with the host was simple. Easy check in and check out. Out of the way from town and quiet. Beds were comfortable and you won’t beat the view of the sunrise.Very relaxing stay. Will stay here again!
Unit was as advertised. Very spacious. Close to shops, dining, etc. Would recommend installing some hooks in the bathrooms for hanging washcloths and clothing/robes. That's the main reason for 4 stars instead of 5.
Perfect place. Clean. Peaceful. Welcoming. Nice walking trail around the lake. Easy walk to activities and restaurants down town. Would absolutely stay again.
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.
Our stay was everything we hoped for. The condo was very clean and roomy. We would recommend staying here and would definitely stay here again if in the area.
Very pleased with our stay. This was our 2nd time at this condo. It is very well stocked with all the amenities you could want. Location is great, close to town, and we love walking on the Boardman Trail.
The condo was great! Had everything we needed. We were close to everything in town with a spacious vibe on the lake. Hoping to stay again on my next visit to the area.
