We had such a wonderful stay at Silver Lake! The location was awsome with a little area for kids to swim right across the street and all the sand dune and lake Michigan beauty just a couple minutes away. We loved campfires and plenty of beds for everyone.

Our group loved staying here! Perfect spot close enough for us to trailer our side by side to the dunes but far enough to not have to deal with the constant traffic. We would definitely stay here again!

Annual Trip to Dunes & Craigs Cruzers

Everyone had a great time & the house worked great for us. We especially enjoyed the use of the Kayaks. We had a change of plan & didn't have the family grand-dog with us afterall, although we didn't find out until the rest of the party arrived. We hope to have him next time, as he was welcome & was provided for in the reservation. Thanks so much!!

Last minute reservation- made this a great find!

The property was in an excellent location. The property manager was a great communicator and very responsive. He informed me of an issue with the washer and dryer and once he learned of my planned need for doing laundry he got service arranged for the next day. We did encounter a unfriendly neighborhood dog that would consistently come on the property and taunt our dogs through the windows. Unfortunately this did result in damage to a window blind. These few items did not overshadow the great time this stay offered.

Great location

Cool spot that is right at Upper Silver Lake. A couple cool access points to the lake where the kids can swim and play in the sand. Just a short drive to the sand dunes and Lake Michigan. Didn’t realize at time of booking that you are responsible for all cleaning and washing sheets, but was able to pay for that to be taken care of later. Didn’t like the fact that we had to make all five beds when we got there. Not sure if this is due to not having cleaners or what. Other than that, it was a cool spot and Jon (Host) was very responsive and easy to work with.

Perfect location

We had a wonderful time staying at this property! There were 10 of us and we never felt crowded. The location is ideal with access to upper silver lake and close proximity to the entrance of the dunes. Also very close to the main strip with Craig’s Cruisers. The kayaks were an added bonus!
