About this property

TC Tiny House Near Boardman Lake Trail

  • Enjoy privacy and proximity in this cozy, urban cottage located on a partially wooded lot. It features everything you need for a comfortable stay, including a patio and a fire pit.
    The property is situated in a great, mixed-use location:
    - One block to the Boardman Lake Loop Trail (access at Center St.)
    - One mile to the Bay and downtown
    - Less than one mile to Brick Wheels bike and cross-country ski rentals
    Guests can easily walk or bike into town using the non-motorized pathway along the Boardman River. Please note that the home shares a driveway with the host's part-time residence. As your host, I strive to be attentive. 2026 enhancement include new mural art on the concrete block wall defining the north property line.

The property description was spot on and the place is well kept. You can walk into TC and easily to the Boardman trail. I’ll even say easily to the best section of the trail. I’d stay here again.

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!

We had a very comfortable stay. Would stay there again. We were close to the Boardman walking trail.

The property was clean and comfortable. The neighborhood is quiet and we felt very safe. We were also close to the Boardman walking trail. Great trail! Also close to The Filling Station, great pizza and beer! The only thing i would suggest is to have a mirror in each bathroom and a small lamb. Thank you for an enjoyable stay. Glenda

Perfect Stay

Just two of us and our lab - and the Tiny House was perfect. Unfortunately one of us tested positive for Covid the minute we arrived so we even were able to successfully quarantine! Not exactly how we anticipated our stay but the house had everything we needed - bathroom is updated and well appointed. Beds were comfortable and closets spacious and although bedrooms are not Large, they work. Although backyard isn’t fenced, dog still felt like she was. We walked twice or three times a day with our pup and neighborhood at all hours is quiet and safe. Boardman Lake, TART trails, 8th St, Front St and the Bay beaches all nice walks under 1-1/2 miles ea way. Loop bus stop same block. Perfect location. Would 100% stay again!

Clean and well equipped with practically everything we needed for our one week stay. The two small bedrooms, kitchen, living room and outdoor areas gave us enough space to spread out. We could make our own meals as needed and do a little laundry, too. Great location within walking distance to the Boardman Lake Trail and close to all the beaches and summer fun along Lake Michigan. We would definitely stay again.
