This VRBO had plenty of sleeping room, up and down. The owner, Jon, was readily available. The location was great, it’s just across the street from Silver Lake. Also, 5 kayaks were available for use. Parking is plentiful.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
The house was clean, stocked with all basic essentials, and fairly modern. We enjoyed the backyard with fire pit and grill. The location was perfect! The owner was great in communicating with us and entry was easy and accessible. There was a musty smell upon entry and the owner sent a plumber over to check it out. That was appreciated. The dryer made a horrendous squealing noise and the owner said he was going to replace the belt. The view of the lake was minimal, we didn’t mind that though, as the lake access was just down the street. The beds/bedding were not very fresh and mattresses were stained. We never found the fire stick for the upstairs television so no TV watching up there. I think with just a few upgrades this would be an amazing place to stay and we would stay there again if these things were addressed. These were things we noticed and it sounds like the owner really cares and wants to make everything comfortable for guests. Stores, restaurants, and dunes only minutes away. We loved the Whippi-Dip!

Why they chose this property

We bought this house because it is a really nice house. Well-built and very spacious. A couple of our favorite things about this place are the fenced-in back yard and the large deck that wraps around the house and connects the front of the house to the back.
