Fantastic Stay

The cottage was perfect for our stay and is in a great location. The house was very clean and the four season room turned into the perfect hangout spot. The coffee and s’mores bars are a great touch and the kids couldn’t wait to have a bonfire. Would recommend to anyone looking to stay in the Silver Lake area.

We have stayed here two times now, and both times were wonderful. The host is very accommodating with excellent communication! You also can’t beat the location, you are 1 minute from the dunes. We were able to go in and out all day. It’s clean and was well equipped for my family of 6 and our dog!
