Many restaurants, shopping, and activities such as beach yoga, art events, horseback riding, golf, wineries, breweries, boating and more within 10 minutes drive. Silver Lake ORV park is a fun and unique attraction where you can drive your Jeep, SUV, or rented vehicle right on the sand dunes! If you don’t have a vehicle, you can also enter the dune park on the pedestrian side and hike the dunes away from the traffic but with amazing lake and inland views, as well as spectate the local and visiting "duners.". On the other side of Silver Lake is downtown Silver Lake area with several more attractions like Craig's Cruisers amusement center and the locally famous Chicken Shack. And if you are without sand vehicles and water toys, there are many places in town to rent something to play with.

Loved the area and two seperate livingspaces

Easy walk to the beach, nice fenced in yard for dogs(must be on chains because fence isnt dog proof). Be very careful where you allow yoir dogs if yoi bring them because there were old pet stains and dogs always want to pee over other dogs pee. Dont let them walk away from you. Our kids loved having the bottom floor to themselves. 40 minute drive to the hunting grounds mu husband likes.

Labor Day Stay

My daughter had her Bacherlorette weekend with her sister and 6 friends here. They said the place was perfect! Stephanie was so easy to get a hold of with any questions. The girls said the house was clean and stocked with everything they needed for their stay. They loved the setting, the close walk to the beach and enjoyed the local winery and the thrilling Mac Dune rides. They would definitely recommend this property and would 100% return for another fabulous stay! 5 stars all around! Thanks Stephanie!

Why they chose this property

We love the location! We are right between 2 vacation destination towns plus walk to a private Lake Michigan beach but the house is quiet and private. The house have a sleeping area on each floor so guests feel they have space. We have beautiful pine vaulted ceilings, sliding doors to deck, and a walkout basement - all boxes checked for a relaxing retreat in the woods.
