Hello Brenda. Thank you so much for taking time out of your day to review your recent stay at Apache Beach Cottage. We appreciate your feedback and comments and I will be sure to share these with our team. We are glad you enjoyed your stay and hope to host you again!
Beautiful cabin as described. Spotlessly clean. Was surprised to find a ring camera facing ion to the deck seating area. We decided to unplug it because that’s a def invasion of privacy. Loved the location and the nearby farm stands.
Nice property on top of a dune, great lake view. Access to lake isn't the best because the beach is privately owned by others so no sitting or setting up. Great beaches within 10 min tho. Awesome gazebo area where the kids slept. It was agreed by all in our group that this house hit the mark.

Thank you so much for taking time out of your day to send us your feedback regarding your recent stay with us. We are so happy to hear that you were able to find the great beaches Silver Lake has to offer and that your group found this to be a spot on vacation rental. We hope many wonderful memories were made!
The house was easy to find, secluded, and easy access. The house was very clean and decorated nicely. But our favorite part was the view!! It is so gorgeous!! We loved sitting on the massive back porch and listening to the waves and birds chirping around us. Keep in mind you do not have direct access to the beach or cannot sit on the beach. We enjoyed long walks on the beach and visiting the small little town. If you are looking for a quiet getaway with a stunning view, this is a great place!! We will be keeping this on our list to visit again!
Please note that there was no grill available for use although I was told that there would be a gas one. We managed okay without one and had a lovely stay.
