Very nice house and was very clean and very nice fire pit area. Spacious deck with enough chairs for everyone and great place to hang out in the early morning with a cup coffee and in the evening as well. The make up of the floor plan and the bedrooms and beds was perfect for our family. The host Ryan was great and responded to any questions we had and provided information that made the check in and check out very easy. Look forward to staying here again when we return to Silver Lake.

A great place for a family reunion

The house is very clean and has everything one may need, and even more. The neighborhood is safe and quiet. It was great to use the new fire pit and the private swimming pool, tennis courts, and table tennis. Close to Silver Lake, sand dunes, and Lake Michigan. Overall, we had a wonderful stay.

Check-in went well after we got the lock figured out and we unlocked the opportunity to make some amazing family memories! Host was attentive to anything that came up, the house worked perfectly for us, kitchen is well stocked with supplies and super helpful to have some items for smaller children. The screen porch is great for family game time and the deck looking out over the woods is so peaceful. The firepit was relaxing to use and the couch is great for napping after a day at the beach. The local activities are lots of fun too. The whole family would like to go back!
Took a walk to the top of the lighthouse - even the 3 & 4 year old made it!

Silver Lake 2024

My family and I stayed at Silver Lake in 2012 and had a great time. In 2024, we wanted to relive that experience, and our stay did not disappoint. We had a great time catching up, swimming, playing games, and having campfires—and that was just at the property! The area offers a lot of activities for the whole family to enjoy.

We sadly had to leave Silver Lake this morning. This property was ABSOLUTELY PERFECT for one mom taking six teenage boys on a lake vaca. The two 17 year olds commandeered the basement. The four 15 year olds claimed the oversized upstairs loft area. I took a room on the main level. The two extra bunks on the main level went unused this trip, but maybe next time. The kitchen was an open ended galley style which made it easy to use and great for maneuvering around the house. The hosts provided all the necessary kitchenware and several extras. There was a pantry for all our food to be hidden away and off the counter. The four top table in the kitchen was great for our random eating habits. The big table on the enclosed porch and/or the two tables on the back deck worked great when we all sat down to share a meal. The big table was ideal for cards and board games. We mostly loved the enclosed porch for keeping our outdoor gear out of the way while still being secure and also to keep sandy shoes out of the house. The firepit was a HUGE HIT! We played soccer, visited in the comfy Adirondack chairs and of course made s’mores. The hosts also provided a few outdoor games.The boys loved the heated pool, b-ball court and tennis court for pickleball. Being within walking distance of the beach area, Craig’s Cruisers and other businesses was a bonus. We rented the hosts pontoon for the week for tubing, cruising, swimming, and the dunes.Highly recommend!Holly (07/2026)

Memorial Weekend

Everything was perfect! We liked that the house was in a subdivision, but still had major privacy. Everything was super clean. The beds were all so comfortable. We walked to take the kids to the pool - it was really nice and had a slide. The bon fire at night was great! I would definitely plan a weekend again here in the future with the family!!

Wonderful Vacation Spot for a Family

Loved this house and it’s location. Plenty of room for everyone (3 Adults and three kids, kids loved the bunk beds). Generous supply of necessities and kitchen appliances and utensils, even everything for the fire pit. Lovely setting with access to pool, rec room, etc. A/C went out but owner was quick to get repair attended to. Very nice vacation experience. If we came back to this area on a vacation, would definitely consider staying here again.

Perfect Silver Lakes stay

We had so much fun in Silver Lakes! This home is close to all of the activities in the area-sand dunes, beaches, lighthouses, restaurants (we loved The Chicken Shack), MacWoods, Whippy Dip ice cream, Craig's Cruisers, Lewis Adventure Farm, Country Dairy, many orchards and farms, Ludington and all it has to offer, wineries, the town of Hart, and the list goes on! It was a great family trip! I would highly recommend renting the boat if you plan to enjoy Silver Lake and the sand dunes, so much fun with kids. Take your boogie boards and sleds!
