2/5 - Disappointing
Not much to do outside of skiing (in the winter). The “town” consists of like 5 buildings (post office, library, pub, market, gun shop). Hard to find any dining off the resort property (dining on property isn’t great either).




Everything was perfect from the first moment we arrived. Friendly staff always looking to help and make sure everything is going well. Great location only steps from the downtown restaurants and shopping. Great views from the rooms and the property of Traverse Bay

The only issue is if I arrived a little early to the property for check in and the wanted to add an additional 35 to check-in

Excellent stay! Very clean and spacious. A little further away from Crystal Mountain than expected but still looking forward to booking again. Nicely equipped with extra bedding and plenty of towels and toiletry items. Crockpot included and well stocked dishes and kitchen utensils. Game room and ...

This is the second time staying at the Boardwalk. Different rooms both times. This time the room was just not as clean as the first time. Dirty dishes were put back in the cupboards and we had to re-wash and there was a lot of hair in the shower that was left from previous tenant.

Again, the resort itself is pristine and beautiful. They just need to update these musty old Colony rooms or charge $40 a night since basically you’re staying in a Super 8.
Make sure to stop in the small cafe Bear Claw! The staff was so very kind and took very good care of us. The food was so delicious. Our eggs were the fluffiest ever! It is a small place but very clean and great prices!
Not much there......
Thompsonville resort area beautiful, the villiage of Thompsonville very disappointing. It appears to be a dying town with nothing available to offer tourist.
Great time, but very pricey accomodations.
