About this property
Traverse City's Silver Lake, DIRECT sandy beach waterfront on all sports lake.
Our Traverse City Willow Cottage is a 2 bedroom, 1 bath vacation cottage 10 ft from the beach. It is one of 2 cottages that make up our small family owned and operated lakeside resort.
-Located on one of the best 70 ft. of sandy beach frontage that Traverse City's Silver Lake offers.
- Silver Lake is a crystal clear 600 acre spring-fed lake, surrounded by trees with islands and peninsulas. It is great for boating, fishing and swimming.
- It is an easy 10 minute drive to Traverse City.
-Wi-Fi, cable TVs, central air conditioning, gas fireplace, central heat, and a fully equipped kitchen.
-Two docks, a swimming raft, kayaks, paddle boards and rope swings which are available to our guests at no extra charge.
-Each cottage has its own outdoor table, charcoal grill and campfire pit with wood provided.
-The resort is modern yet it has been in existence since the 1930's when Silver Lake had only a few fishing resorts and cottages. The original owners picked this prime lake sandy beach frontage to locate this resort. It is on ¾ of an acre of flat lake-front property, 500 ft. from the road, with a large backyard for games. Having direct frontage with no steps to the lake is a plus for lake living.
PLEASE NOTE: Maximum occupancy, no more than 4 . All children and babies are counted per the health department restrictions. Minimum age to reserve cottage is 25 years old. No parties, no events, no day visitors/guests are allowed.
This is a smoke free (vaping, smoking of any substance), animal/pet free resort. No exceptions, please don't ask.
The other cottage located in our resort, Maple Grove is VRBO property ID # 361471.

About the host
Hosted by Marian
My husband, Tom and I were married in 1979. We moved to Traverse City in 1980 from the city of Detroit. My mother was raised on an local farm. My maternal great grandparents were pioneers to the area. I developed my love for the area as a young child as we vacationed every year in Traverse City. Tom and I honeymooned in Traverse City and moved there 9 months later. We raised our 5 children in Traverse City. We discovered and purchased our small resort in 1989. It was a diamond in the rough, but it had a great private sandy beach and was in close to Traverse City. We remodeled the cottages as we raised our 5 children. We are very proud of our resort. We love the area and enjoy sharing information about the area with our guests.
Why they chose this property
Our small 2 cottage resort offers one of the best frontages on Silver Lake. The cottages are off set from each other. The Willow is 10 feet from the beach on one side of the 70 ft. of frontage. Maple Grove in on the opposite side of the side of the property. It sits back about 100 ft. from the beach with a lawn between the house and the beach. The view of the lake is unobstructed. The cottages are close to town but far enough away to leave the hubbub on the city behind.
What makes this property unique
Our own home is located on the property. We have an additional 30 ft. of lake frontage for our personal and our seaplane.
We have owned and managed the 2 cottages since 1989. We strive to provide a peaceful and enjoyable experience for our guests. We take great pride in our clean/comfortable/updated homes that our guests call home during their stay. You will be able to relax and enjoy your vacation as we are very available for assistance. Though we are here to help, we know that our guests enjoy their privacy.
We love to share sight-seeing ideas, golf courses, nature areas and restaurant recommendations. We have maps of nearby bike, walking trails, winery/brewery brochures and places only the locals know where to go and see.
