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!

Property was overall a great stay. We were able to fit 2 full size trucks with 24' trailers and plenty of room left over. A large circle driveway made easy to pull in and out. The house was clean and spacious. The A/C and wifi worked great as well. The host was awesome and responded very quickly to any questions we had. Will definitely be staying here again in the future.
