Wow, talk about a go-back in time machine. The trailer is in excellent clean condition for being as old as I am! Everything worked. Host was very responsive. 5 stars all around except the price, but I don't blame the host. The whole area is overpriced for accommodations in my opinion. We used it for a weekend get away and it was so chill and comfy! This is Glamping. Watched the sun set, enjoyed the beach, campfire and R&R. We will be back.

3 Burches at Silver Lake

This place was exactly what we had in mind. All of the outdoor fun of camping at the lake, except the conveniences of home are there when you want them too. We had a blast and would definitely recommend this place to others.

Nice stay

The retro mobile home was perfect for our 3 day trip. The home is close to the dunes and the lake, outside setting is tree covered and neighborhood is quiet. Lisa had everything we would need to enjoy the lake and firepit. Thank you for the stay.

Better than a hotel, better than a camper. We didn’t use the extras available bikes, paddle boards, but it was nice they were available. Bed was comfortable. We enjoyed our stay.

Excellent communication & wonderful location

Super close to everything. Was also quiet. The only thing was that we would have liked to have a couple more frying pans. Easy fix. Our girls loved the wilderness in the back, the bikes, and the hammocks. Thank you and we will be back!

Silver Lake Retro Trailer

The property was located in a very pleasant area. Close to the dunes and activities in town. We had a slight issue with hot water but were able to communicate with the owner to rectify the situation. We are returning in June for a long weekend and looking forward to again staying here. Everything was well stock and pleasant. We will rent it again in the future if it's available.
