About this property

We are very secluded and take extra steps to protect your safety

You will love our beautiful and secluded cottage with 4 Bedrooms, 2 Baths plus extra shower stall in the laundry room. We can sleep up to eleven guests very comfortably.

Our cottage is located on a peaceful and wooded lot less than half a mile from Silver Lake and near the State-Park. No direct neighbors allow for a private and secluded setting even though all the fun Silver Lake has to offer is only a stone throw away.

We have plenty of parking space for vehicles, trailers and dune toys. A circle driveway provides easy in/out access. Our detached garage is available for you during your stay to keep your dune toys dry in case of bad weather.

The cottage features a fully equipped kitchen with dish washer, convenience appliances, a snack bar in the kitchen, a small 'game room' on the lower level with access to a stone patio, a campfire pit, covered front deck, balcony deck off the kitchen with gas grill (propane furnished), fenced in yard, picnic table and lots more.

Come and enjoy your next vacation in this beautiful location!

Peaceful and very quiet wooded location for our weekend getaway! We enjoyed our stay in this 4 bedroom home which was perfect for 9 adults. The kitchen was well equipped and there was ample parking plus a grand firepit!

Cute cottage, in very secluded setting. Large bedrooms, ample living space between living and dining rooms, comfy beds. Very reasonable price. The only drawback we found was the "early" checkout time of 10. Most places are 11.

Excellent stay

Check-in process was great, the property owner communicated expectations well. The house was perfect for our family with lots of space for kids to play outside. There was plenty of space indoors to prepare meals and play games at the table. Will hopefully make it back again!

The house was great! It had everything we needed including a garage (to play cornhole) that we could use since it was raining in the evening. I would highly recommend this rental.

Great experience and location

My family of 3 + 1 dog had a wonderful stay. The house was well set up with everything you could need and very clean. The wooded setting made you feel “away from it all.” It was great to use the fenced in area for our dog too. It was a short drive to the dunes. We would definitely stay here again.

Lots of space, indoor and out

Loved the four bedrooms and two baths inside....and really loved the fenced in area outside to let our dogs run around. For over 20 years we've stayed at a campground in the heart of Silver Lake over the week of July Fourth, this was the first time staying a little bit further away. Worth it! Walked to public boat ramp to watch fireworks over the dunes. House is on a dusty two-track that was a little soft for our motorcyclists but not too bad. Very responsive hosts via email. Good internet. Lots of choices on the TV for the day it rained. Every appliance you could need in the kitchen and a washer/dryer available downstairs. Looking forward to staying here again :)

Even better than described!

Our family stayed at this property for several days while attending a family wedding in the area. It fit our needs well, with plenty of space. The beds were very comfortable. There was ample hot water. The kitchen was well appointed. The house is lovingly kept and located not far from the lake but set back enough to feel remote and quiet. My only subjective comment it is that it might not be the best choice for somebody with mobility difficulties. The stairs are quite steep and the walk in shower is located on the lower level. We would love to stay there again.

Nice house tucked away in the woods, peaceful and private. Owners are easy to work with. Driveway is a little tight if you have a trailer.

Fall Dunes riding

The house was a short drive...5 mins to the dunes. Accessibility was great for pulling a trailer at the property. The house could totally accommodated 8 comfortably. We had only 4 at that time. Great place would stay again.
