My east coast family arrived and fell in love with the house right away. The view out the windows of the son setting over the lake was beautiful. The kitchens were wellstocked with everything we needed to cook. The furniture was comfortable. The bed rooms and bathrooms were clean. Just all around outstanding.
We had a fabulous time staying at this home over the 4th of July! The layout and amount of space was idea for multiple families as lower level has its own kitchen and family room plus 2 full baths, 3 bedrooms, and even a second laundry room. We easily fit 6 adults and 5 kids age 2-13 and never felt like we were tripping over one another. The location on Silver Lake was amazing and we really enjoyed the kayaks and rented pontoon for exploring the lake. Mercedes was a fantastic and very responsive host. We would definitely stay here again!
This is a 5 star place. Host was excellent, easy to contact and response, immediate. Quiet, picturesque location. Imagine bringing your own home comforts, especially your complete kitchen with you. 2 sets of laundry appliances, lower level kitchen, comfy beds. Wish we could have stayed longer. A truly memorable family time for all the right reasons.
This was hands down one of the best VRBO stays we've ever had! The house was spotless when we arrived and was incredibly well stocked with everything we could possibly need. From the kitchen to the bathrooms, it was obvious the owners put a lot of thought into making guests feel at home.The amenities were outstanding. The kayaks were in excellent condition and made for a fantastic way to enjoy the water, and having multiple TVs throughout the house meant everyone could relax and watch what they wanted after a day outside. Lots of firewood for the campfire and the smores basket was a hit. Tons of outseating for the fire, on the mini beach, or the boating dock to watch the sunrise.What really set this property apart was the host. Communication was quick, clear, and friendly from start to finish. We had one very minor issue during our stay, and it was resolved immediately without any hesitation. That level of responsiveness and care made an already great experience even better.
Mercedes was a great host! Very responsive and the house had everything we needed for a long weekend stay. We cooked in a few nights and pans, utensils, Tupperware, etc was all there. The living room and kitchen area was great, we had plenty of room with a big group and never felt crowded. The lake is beautiful, and location was great. We would definitely book again!
This house is BEAUTIFUL and laid out beautifully. The downstairs kitchen makes this a perfect venue 4 families of a bunch of friends (like us). Owners were always available if we had questions.
Excellent location. House is a little dated. We had 11 people and it was tight.

We understand every group has different needs, and we always encourage guests to review the layout to ensure it’s the right fit. We truly appreciate you choosing our place for your stay.
The property and home were beautiful! It was absolutely perfect for our large family and spacious! Thank you to our amazing hosts! They were wonderful and so accommodating!
It was a perfect week in a beautiful and well equipped home - the kitchen had Everything you could possibly need and they also had games and books and so much more. I have nothing negative to say about the home or the host. Thank you Mercedes for a wonderful stay.
This home was just perfect for our group of 5 couples. We picked the perfect time of year and the place was great. Clean, comfortable and definitely accommodating.
Spacious home with all the tools needed for a relaxing and fun stay. We stayed at this property for a youth soccer tournament. It was perfect, the girls had their own private space downstairs and the adults enjoyed the upstairs.
Wonderful home for extended family vacation. Plenty of room to spread out. Could use some new hot pads and oven mitts. Other than that, house was very well-stocked with necessities and with fun extras (bags game, beach toys). Owners were VERY helpful and great communicators.
We spent 6 nights here, and had a great time! We had 6 adults and 4 teenagers, and had more than enough room and activities for everyone. The space is perfect, the location can’t be beat, and the hosts have thought of everything. Wonderful communication before and during our stay as well. Zero complaints and would definitely stay here again! Highly recommend!
This beautiful lakefront home had everything we needed for our group of four couples. The home is well stocked with kitchen supplies, paper goods and linens. Even the outdoor grill is first-rate and the host has provided firewood for a campfire and kayaks to enjoy the beautiful lake. We loved the location and would come back again and again!
Thank you, Mercedes, for a wonderful stay!
We had three couples staying and the bedroom set up and bathrooms worked quite well for us. Kitchen had everything we needed and on rainy days, we were all very comfortable in the great room to hang out and socialize. The dock and fire pit were good for the nice days. There is a concrete sidewalk leading to the dock that the slight downhill approach could be a little tricky. A handrail along the walkway would be a good addition.
The house was exactly as pictured. Very comfortable for 2 families; would have fit the original 3 families we had planned for with plenty of rooms and bathrooms. The lakeside location is perfect and it was super easy to take the kayaks out and enjoy the lake. The hosts were really responsive and helpful - and I bugged them several times before we even showed up. Would definitely stay here in the future.
We had a such a wonderful stay at this house. We had a family vacation and the house was perfect for the 10 of us. The house was very clean and well-stocked. It was great to have a kitchen, multiple bedrooms, multiple bathrooms, and a washer/dryer on both floors. The house had everything needed for a week at the lake, including kayaks, life vests, fishing poles, sand toys and plenty of beach chairs. The complimentary s’more ingredients were enjoyed by everyone. Overall a super vacation week with many great memories.
The owners are very responsive. The house is stocked with everything you could need. The house was very clean and well taken care of. The lake is great for swimming and activities and its a short drive to downtown TC. Overall there is not one thing I can find to criticize.
We had an incredible stay on the lake and I can't say enough great things about our experience! Comfortably fit a group of 10 adults. The amenities (grill, fire pit, dock and lake access, outdoor tables, double kitchens/laundry rooms) were excellent, and all communications with the hostess were speedy and smooth. Great view of the Silver Lake July 4th fireworks from the dock!
Beautiful house on the lake with gorgeous Lake view. Lots of room for the 7 of us. Clean and lots of space for us to either sit together for games or have our own time. Close enough to the shopping centers or convenience stores when in need. Property owner was very helpful and quick to respond. We had a great time!
