Boardman Ridge Penthouse Close to Town

Summary:

Perched directly above the Boardman Lake Trail with gorgeous lake views, this spacious, newly constructed, top- floor 2 Bed, 2 Bath condo is a perfect hub for your Traverse City get away! Everything you need. Stylishly decorated and comfortably furnished. Fully equipped kitchen, dining table for 4, kitchen counter seating, and private wrap-around patio with outdoor seating.



The Space:

The elevator takes you to the 3rd floor, where your private condo entrance is just steps away. Inside, the entryway leads to the master bedroom with a king bed and en-suite bathroom, as well as a guest bedroom with a queen bed and a second bathroom.



The main living space opens up with natural light streaming through two walls of large windows, showcasing stunning views of the lake and sky. The area features a dining table for four, additional seating at the kitchen island, a TV, and a cozy gas fireplace—plenty of room for everyone to relax. Step easily out onto the patio to enjoy the outdoors.



This penthouse offers 1,350 square feet of living space. TVs are equipped with streaming services only.



**NOTE ABOUT BOARDMAN LAKE: There is public access to this lake for small non-motorized boats only (kayaks, canoes, rowboats, small sailboats) on both ends of the lake. **Swimming in Boardman Lake is not advised.**

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.



Assigned, free, covered parking spot for 1 car.



ALL guests must be 25+ unless accompanied by a parent/guardian.



Guest Access:

For longer stays, all Golden Swan properties, and our lowest pricing, please find us at goldenswanmgt.



The Neighborhood:

The condo building is beside a railway line that operates a few times a month at most. It is walking distance to breweries, restaurants, and a community- owned food co-op and grocery store in the neighborhood. It's just a short bike ride or drive downtown to more restaurants, shopping, entertainment, and, of course, the magnificent Grand Traverse bays of Lake Michigan.



The 5+ mile Boardman Lake Loop Trail circles the lake with a series of boardwalks, smooth asphalt - perfect for walking and biking.

Clean and bright property

The place was so clean and bright. The huge deck was so enjoyable. The location was close to town, which was awesome. Like others, we were so busy out and about, we didn't spend a lot of time in the condo. But it was spacious and comfortable for our visit.

Lovely Lakeside Penthouse

We just enjoyed 4 nights at the Boardman Penthouse and truly enjoyed our stay. Its located in a quiet and peaceful lakeside location just outside Traverse but with plenty of places to go and see nearby. The condo was well appointed and comfortable with great lighting and an open floor plan. We really enjoyed Traverse and can't wait to go back. We had other family members stay downtown and I think the Boardlab penthouse was superior in every way. We will be back again soon.

Awesome Condo

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.

Can't wait to return

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!

Relax and Enjoy

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!

Great Location

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).

Absolutely Perfect!

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.

Great Spot

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!!

Lovely Stay on Boardman Lake

We really enjoyed our stay at this property. It was very clean, and the kitchen was more well-provisioned than other rentals we’ve stayed. The patio views were very pretty although we didn’t get to enjoy it as much as we’d like due to rainy weather most of the week. The location is one of the best parts of this property. We walked many places and downtown is less than a five minute drive (and close enough to walk if you’re up for it). We were notified of the construction outside the property which is well under way, but they didn’t work that frequently and it didn’t bother us at all. It doesn’t obscure the view, and our children were entertained by the excavators. We did feel like we had to spend a lot of time trying to keep our children (2 & 4) quiet due to the proximity of the neighbors, but I suppose that’s on us for booking a third floor unit. We also enjoyed walking and biking on the path around Boardman Lake right outside the unit. Highly recommend!

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.
