The house is beautiful and perfect for us, our 2 children and 4 grandchildren. The beach was wonderful and great for little kids. The host was very helpful and gave us lots of suggestions for things to do and places to eat. Great experience overall.

Nancy - I am so happy that grandchildren had such a good time and created some incredible memories. Please come back soon!
This house has a front row seat to Lake Michigan and it’s spectacular sunsets! It was the perfect layout for our multi generational family vacation. We enjoyed having a private beach and being so close to all the activities the Silver Lake area has to offer. We all hope to come back again someday

Beverly - Thanks for the kind review. I do hope you come back and keep enjoying the beach and sunsets!
This is a wonderful property right on the shore of Lake Michigan. We stayed here with our two daughters' families for a week. As advertised, low bluff, so only 20 or so steps down to the beach. The home itself is cottagy and cozy. The kitchen is well outfitted and includes a great Wolf stove/oven. Our host, Chad, was available and helpful. Highly recommend this property.

JT - thank you for the thoughtful review. I always enjoy having you and your family
Another year renting this property and it did not disappoint. Great house right on the private beach. The kids love a creek where they can swim and fish. Walking distance to the lighthouse and the dunes. Beautiful views of lake Michigan and fantastic sunsets.We all love the place so much that we already book our vacations for 2027!

Thanks for the review. I am so happy the little ones like the warmth of nearby creek. Please come back again soon. Chad L
The location of this cottage couldn't be better!! We enjoyed lovely views everywhere but especially the deck and screened porch, There were only 2 of us most of the week. Everything we needed was on the main level, The extra room for guests was downstairs. We will be back!

Louise - thank you for the kind review. I wish I could figure out how to get out there with just my wife and I!! Good work and please come back again.
We had a great stay. All of the kids and grandkids really loved it and talked like they would like to do it again. A great time was had by all. Great location, house was beautiful and met our needs well.
Lovely cottage easy access to the lake, special bonus got to see the sailboats in the Chicago to Mackinac race. Kids had a great time skim boarding in the channel .

I am always amazed how close those massive sail boats come in!
Wonderful property and fantastic location. Chad is a great host; he answers any questions promptly. We were looking for a beach location and this fit the bill. The property was clean and contained all the essentials to make the week run smoothly.
Fantastic vacation! We loved everything starting with the house, beach, views, location and attractions near by. Walking distance to the lighthouse and the dunes. Relaxing and fun for everyone kids and adults. Thank you so much!
The house was wonderful for us and our family. Good location and the house was just as expected. Would definitely recommend and will return in the future.
Fantastic location, loved the property. Everything you need for a great stay around the lake was provided and in great repair. Cooking choices ( two types of grills) were very nice. Would definitely return to the property again!
We absolutely loved it. The home was beautiful, the views were amazing. My mother-in- kept referring it to her feeling like she was in Malabu. The location was so convenient to town and the dunes. We will definitely be back.
Had a great vacation with the family at the Low Bluff cottage. Cottage is exceptionally kept and has all the amenities you need. Beach front was great with sandy bottom which was great for swimming. Overall I would highly recommend the cottage and I’m sure our family will be back next summer!
This property is heaven on earth. The kids were loving the beach and the downstream river on the corner to explore!
Perfect location for silver lake sand dunes as well.
We all made the most out of this vacation and we will most definitely be back next year!!
We love this place! Used to visit the old house, this is our first time in the new one and we were not disappointed! Hope to come and visit many more times.
Beautiful location and the beach is finally back. Thank you, Chad.
The house was amazing and had everything we needed. The view and the deck was the best spot to relax. Since it was a bit rainy that week we spent time inside and cooking some meals. Great kitchen! It was a very relaxing week.
We had such a great time in this property. The location is unreal with private beach and best sunsets. Each of the four rooms are very spacious. The kids bunk room has a hangout area which was fantastic for our 6 boys under 8 years old. We highly recommend this property!
