Lovely property with separate private lakefront to Silver Lake + huge backyard.

We fell in love with this lovely Pure Michigan property with separate private access to Silver Lakes. It is our happy place. This summer home gives out a vibe of a chill and homey Michigan cottage. The house boasts of a large 1700 sq ft of living space and only 2 houses away from the lakefront. There is a large deck that we enjoy our meals "al fresca". There are string lights and candles that makes dinner and wine just so perfect. There is a front yard sitting area, as well as (2) separate fire pit for a large group to enjoy. One in the backyard and one by the lakefront to enjoy the sunset. There is no rental in the area that can offer the best of both world to have private access to Silver Lakes and for a group to enjoy a huge northern woods backyard. In the backyard, there is enough room to set-up nets for Volleyball, badminton, and pickleball. There is a living room and a family room if you need to have a separate play area for the kids. The dining table can accommodate 8. One of my other favorite feature of the house is the outdoor shower with hot water. Nothing like watching the dense stars above when you are showering. Our property includes a separate lakefront that has a large gazebo, fire pit, seating area and dock where you can swim in Silver Lake, launch kayak , paddleboard or other water equipment. This is a short 2 minute walk and is only for your private use. The Silver Lake State Park is a short 10 minute walk. This is an option for a beach and playground. The Little Sable Point Lighthouse is a short drive for a tour of the lighthouse or a day at the Lake Michigan beach. We have four (4) Bedrooms with queen bed per bedroom. It is advertised as sleeps 10 using a queen air mattress in the family room. Our kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need.
We also provide toiletries and towels and quality beddings. Please note for your consideration of the property.

Great location, Attention to Detail Needed

We enjoyed the property and especially the location. There are multiple steps up and down at various door thresholds that make it a little tough for the very young or old. Some details needed to be tended to, and we brought these attention to the owner.

End of summer Family trip

Nice size for our family of 7, close to all the attractions we wanted to visit. Large outdoor spaces with plenty of seating. We cooked at the house all 3 nights of our stay, only disappointment was the gas tanks for the grill and fire table were empty after our 1st night.

Property owner very accommodating and prompt response to any needs. Home is very cute and has lots of cottage character. We would suggest bringing your own fan if you need cooler temperatures for sleeping. We LOVED having the beach access and sat there every night after being on the dunes and car show during the daytime. We already booked to come back next year!

Great Family Vacation

Our family met here for a three night stay and it did not disappoint. It was immaculate and my grandchildren loved fishing off of the dock. The home was very clean and the kitchen was stocked the best of any rental we have been to. The host promptly answered any questions by calling us personally and the property manager personally delivered life jackets once we requested the paddle boards be available for use. The only down side I can think of is the chairs down at the beach were cracked but it wasn’t a problem as we had brought our own. We would definitely stay here again!!!

Decent location but overpriced for ammenities at Silver Lake

Upon arrival, we thought home was across from the lake, or extra lot was across from lake, it was down 4 homes. That was not terrible. Online it looks newer than it is. Ants were found in the back bedroom with orange/red wood floor & all over kitchen counter & window sill. There were ant traps on the sill, so we decided to go get more at Walmart. We put them on counter, in bedrooms &more on window sill. Within another hour of returning, we see ants had got into our food, we tried moving it to the pantry but the previous guests left food in there & fridge, there were chocolate chip cookies open & ants everywhere in there. Not many bowls in kitchen with lids so I headed bk to local store for zip lock bags. I did notify the owner of the issue, she stated they have never had ants, & I responded that cannot be true since there were traps when we arrived on window sill, & I found 3 cans of ant/bug/roach spray under the kitchen sink. She sent property manager there the next day at 1pm to put out more traps and spray around the home. I had told her we needed an extra set of sheets as there were none around. One of the beds had dirty sheets & stains when we arrived but manager did provide new the next day from locked closet. Home states it sleeps 10 but that with air mattress. We had 9 & a 10 month old baby. Not enough towels for 10 or silverware. 4 nights & only 5 rolls of TP. Beds not comfortable. Nice yard & outdoor shower. Home was not clean, food on floor/under furn

I put caution tape on the floors, didn't want anyone tripping although most of us did, no one was hurt, would have been nice if there was a latter on the dock. we arrived after there was a bad storm, house was ok no damage, however the cushions were left out when we got there and took two days to dry out. the house was cute and we did enjoy ourselves, We made the best of it.

Late Summer Getaway

Decided last minute to spend 3 days with family. Have traveled to Michigan for 30 years but have never visited the Silver Lake area. The area and the house were both hidden gems for our family. The house was very clean and had everything we needed to relax or have fun including private lakefront access a few hundred feet away from the front door. Nice kitchen with spacious counter, huge firepit, outdoor hot water shower, huge yard, and another firepit at the lake for watching beautiful sunsets. The Host Maria and the property manager Robert were both very friendly and made our check-in and checkout and our entire stay perfect.

Amazing trip!

Our family really enjoyed the house…it felt like home and was EXTREMELY clean!! The sheets and blankets smelled fresh and it smelled really clean when we walked in for the first time. There was plenty of space and the outside had a huge backyard with a really nice fire pit and a patio with a gas fire grill. It’s about five houses down from Silver Lake and is centrally located making it super convenient to get to town and the dunes! Thank you!! We’re definitely coming back next summer!!

Great family vacation spot

We arrived a little early so headed to the dunes prior to check in. We couldn't have been more excited about the outdoor shower... We used it before even unlocking the door to get the sand off all the kids. Smart thing to provide! House was very clean... Honestly for as much sand that is around silver lake we didn't find any upon entering the home. Pretty amazing The house and yard fit our lifestyle. Quiet and room for young kids to roam While the water access wasn't right at your door it worked for us. We walked the few hundred feet to the water and fished (didn't catch anything but to be honest I didn't think my 7 year old would) and used the provided paddle boards and kayak a couple times on calm days. Sandy bottom and shallow. Nice perk. If we wanted water we drove to little sable point or parked at the state park and walked to silver lake and ran down the dunes into the lake. We brought our bikes and road into town for ice cream and Craig's cruisers most days. Not a bad ride. House worked well for us but we are outdoor people so really didn't spend much time inside. Kids were asking if we could come back before we got out of the driveway.

Love the area

House was wonderful! Lots of single steps between rooms which was very tricky. Outdoor shower great! Backyard area beautiful. The only disappointment was based on the info given we thought it was across from the lake. We knew we had to cross a street but we thought it was a lake view. It’s perpendicular to the lake so you have to step out to the street to see the lake and walk a short distance to get to the lake. Really close to the state park beach.

A quiet, beautiful Autumn weekend with family

Cleanliness and charm are the first words that come to mind! Our family of 6 had a perfect weekend at Silver Lake. The weather could not have been better which enabled us to enjoy the awesome backyard! Our grandkids LOVED the swing and we had a wonderful evening around the firepit. The whimsical lighting throughout the property added a magical touch! We utilized the well-equipped kitchen for an enjoyable dinner and breakfasts. The beds were comfy and the cottage was roomy enough for the 6 of us and the dog. Mid to late Oct is a great time to visit if you prefer some peace and quiet. Many places were closed but Open Hearth restaurant was open and we had the best Perch dinner there that I've had in a very long time. Bike riding on the Hart Trail was awesome! We were the only ones on the trail taking in the colors of Michigan. Hiked up some dunes to watch the sunset and went back the next day for a hike through the woods and along the River. Yup, a pretty perfect time! Maria was great to work with. Very responsive to my numerous questions before our trip. It's a short, 3 minute walk to the waterfront which would make it a nice summer destination as well.

Cute place to rent. We really enjoyed our stay. Very clean. Location is great. Highly recommend using the outdoor showe at night! Both tanks of Propane ran out on the 2nd day of grilling but Maria agreed to reimburse us for the replacement. My only complaint is that to get to the waterfront area, you have to cross a road(that part isn't a big deal) and unfortunately, people don't go the speed limit so just have to be careful.
