About this property
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.

My friends and I really enjoyed this property and I’d highly recommend booking this place. The backyard is fantastic, short walk to the lake, rooms were comfortable and spread out, and basically had everything we needed.
The yard was a big hit ..with kids and a small dog the outside was much visited . I enjoyed my coffee every morning outdoors either lake side or back yard watching all the birds and squirrels. Open space in middle of house to visit n eat together was very good , kids loved the outdoor shower! Pretty quiet nice neighborhood. Close to ever thing . Thanks for sharing your home with us .
We enjoyed our time at the rental. Very clean, and great location. We enjoyed the bonfires, fishing, water and closeness to everything. Would recommend. Thanks!
We had a nice family getaway at silver lake and the house was perfect for it.

Our stay was overall enjoyable — we especially loved the outdoor shower and backyard space. The house was cute, though there were quite a few steps in and out of the kitchen and bedrooms, which proved tricky with small kids at first.We did have to unplug all the Glade plug-ins, as the strong scent caused breathing discomfort. The beachfront area had broken chairs and was left trashed by previous guests. The fire extinguisher near the outdoor grill was empty, which felt like a safety oversight. Also, the private beach access advertised is actually across a main road and farther away than we expected.There were also ants in the bedrooms — unfortunately, some came home with us in our suitcases.The most serious concern, however, happened on our second night: the carbon monoxide detector went off in the room where our three small children were sleeping. That moment — walking in to check on them — will stay with me forever. The room had very poor ventilation and airflow. When I reached out to the host, she said it was a low battery, but I don’t believe that was the case. We chose to move the kids to an air mattress in a different room for the rest of our stayI’m incredibly grateful the alarm was there — it may have protected us from something far worse. As a mother, I feel a responsibility to share this experience in hopes of protecting other families. Until the airflow issue is investigated, I believe it’s unsafe to allow anyone to sleep in that room without proper warning
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.
House is in a good location with many activities nearby. Very nice backyard and house was very clean. Property manager is quick to respond. Short walk to the dock with a lovely view of silver lake and the dunes. Would stay here again.
Great location, huge private yard, beautiful, clean home
We loved our stay at Steve and Maria’s - it was perfect for enjoying the holiday weekend with our family. Their outdoor space was especially nice - lots of options for seating, having a fire, grilling, or swinging in the hammock - and the lake is at the end of the street!
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.
The yard was spacious and we enjoyed the fire pit, plenty of privacy! Plenty of parking (even for the boat trailer). Just a short walk or drive to the lake. We would definitely stay again! Plenty of room for everyone in the house and the kitchen was well stocked.
My family had so much fun at this house! It was an adorable house with an amazing yard in an awesome location. It was so clean and well kept. We hope to come back next year!
This property was amazing! It was clean and so comfortable. The outdoor living areas, as well as inside the home were decorated so well! It was hard to leave.
This was our first time renting a home in Silver Lake to visit the dunes ORV park. The house is very close to all of the action at Silver Lake. House is very well decorated, has a great backyard and comfortably fit all of us.
The home was amazing! It is in the perfect location with lots of space. The home is tastefully decorated and we felt right at home. Your a 2 min walk from the beach where you have private access and a dock. When you want to get away from the lake there is a huge back yard and outdoor seating area. It is the perfect mix of the lake/woods life. The hosts were great to work with and the gentleman who manages the property was amazing as well. 5 star stay for sure!

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.
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!!
The yard and accompanying toys and swing were great during the day for our toddler, and the adults appreciated the fire pits and grill during the day. Interior was well decorated and inviting, though admittedly with four adults and two infants was already feeling a tiny bit cramped. That said, it got the job done and everyone slept well. Kitchen well stocked and appreciated. There's a couple steps between rooms to be cautious about, especially with kids. A pleasant summer stay.

About the host
Hosted by Maria Azada
My family and I enjoy being in the water and enjoying the outdoors. This is our happy place.
Why they chose this property
Pure Michigan! The Silver Lakes area is such a wonderful and beautiful place. The dunes are amazing. There is no place anywhere else in the country that can showcase such a landscape while enjoying the water life and water sports in Silver Lake. The area is surrounded by fruit orchards, wineries, breweries and hiking trails.
What makes this property unique
This property is on Silver Lake (not Upper Silver Lake). You have the benefit of endless sandy bottom of the lake. The unique benefit of this property is the accessibility to Silver Lake and the dunes plus the additional benefit of a huge private backyard to spread out and set up games of volleyball, pickle ball, etc. . There is a huge firepit for everyone to enjoy and the best spot to stargaze.
