About this property

Located directly on Silver Lake. 10 minutes from Traverse City

Modern and charming beachfront cottage is an 1100 sq. ft. home.
Our Traverse City 3 bedroom, 2 bath vacation cottage - Maple Grove.
-One of 2 cottages that make up our small family owned and operated lakeside resort.
-It is located on one of the best 70 ft. of sandy beach frontage that Silver Lake offers.
- Silver Lake is a crystal clear 600 acre spring-fed lake. It is surrounded by pine and hardwood trees with islands and peninsulas. It is great for boating, fishing and swimming.
- It is an easy 10 minute drive to Traverse City.

-The cottage has: Wi-Fi, cable TVs, central air conditioning, gas fireplace, central heat, and a fully equipped kitchen.
-There are two docks, a swimming raft, kayaks, paddle boards and hammocks which are available to our guests at no extra charge.
-Each cottage has its own outdoor table, charcoal grill and campfire pits with wood provided.

-The resort has been in existence since the 1930's when Silver Lake had only a few fishing resorts and cottages. The original owners picked prime lake sandy beach frontage to locate this resort. It is on ¾ of an acre of flat lake-front property, 500 ft. from the road, with a large backyard for games.. Having direct frontage with no steps to the lake if a plus for lake living.

Beautiful house at a great location
House was very clean and the property was beautiful. Clear lake, nice sandy beach. Owners were extremely nice and helpful. Great location to Traverse City, Sleeping Bear Dunes, etc. 6 adults and a 1 year old fit perfectly in the house. The door between the kitchen and sleeping area was a definite bonus to help keep noise at bay for the sleeping baby. We were able to take lots of day trips and explore the area (hiking, wineries, shopping). Went to Leelanau State Park and passed many cute towns on the way (Sutton’s Bay, Northport) and also visited Glen Arbor, which was another great little town. Use of the kayaks and stand up paddle board were great, and the rope swings on the tree were fun. Beautiful porch to sip your morning coffee on and watch the sunrise over the lake, or relax and enjoy a glass of wine in the evening. Loved our stay!

About the host

Hosted by Marian

Host profile image
My husband, Tom and I were married in 1979. We moved to Traverse City in 1980 from the city of Detroit. My mother was raised on an local farm. My maternal great grandparents were pioneers to the area. My mother moved away when she was a young adult. I developed my love for the area as a young child as we vacationed every year in Traverse City. Tom and I honeymooned in Traverse City and moved there 9 months later. We raised our 5 children in Traverse City. We discovered and purchased our small resort in 1989. It was a diamond in the rough, but it had a great private sandy beach and was in close to Traverse City. We remodeled the cottages as we raised our 5 children. We worked on the cottages as a family. Over the years, our children have learned many skills and developed a great work ethic as everyone helped over the years.

Why they chose this property

Our small 2 cottage resort offers one of the best frontages on Silver Lake. The cottages are off set from each other. Maple Grove sits back about 100 ft. from the beach with a lawn between the house and the beach. The view of the lake is unobstructed. The Willow is 10 feet from the beach on the northern part of the 70 ft. of frontage. The cottages are close to town but far enough away to leave the hubbub on the city behind.

What makes this property unique

- Our own home is located on the property. We have owned and managed the 2 cottages since 1989. We strive to provide a peaceful and enjoyable experience for our guests. We take great pride in providing clean/comfortable/updated homes that our guests will call home during their stay. You will be able to relax and enjoy your vacation as we are very available for assistance as we are here to help.
-We have an additional 30 ft. of lake frontage for our personal use. We have our seaplane docked there.
-We are available for sight-seeing advice, golf courses, nature areas and restaurant recommendations. We have maps of nearby bike, walking trails, winery/brewery brochures and places only the locals know where to go and see.
