Everything was perfect, and a great comfortable stay for our group. The house had all that we needed. Plenty of room, great porch to sit, backyard was private, spacious for a bbq and campfire. Quiet neighborhood and places to walk, bike ride and swim. Loved it!!
We stayed for a long weekend and the property was lovely. It had everything we needed and we enjoyed our stay. Thank you for sharing your home with us and we will definitely be back if it's available.
The first impression was concerning - the entry opens right into a stairway leading to a dank basement, and the entry floor was full of leaves, cobwebs, and ant traps. However, once into the house itself, there’s a lovely and updated kitchen and living area. Two of the three bedrooms are quite small, and I suspect beds are full, not queen, size (cramped for 2 people). However, beds were otherwise comfortable and there are very nice outdoor spaces too. Plenty of parking. The location is great, right on Silver Lake. Bring extra towels, they were limited and there is no washer or dryer. Overall we enjoyed our stay; Deven was very helpful.

We were so happy to host you! Sounds like y’all entered through the wrong door as that side door isn’t supposed to be accessible to guests as it does lead to the basement where we keep stock, storage, etc. We are sorry for that confusion! We’re so happy you enjoyed your stay otherwise!
Very nice place and a convenient location. Was nice and quiet for the week. Kids enjoyed playing in the water by the dock. Host was very quick in responses. Saw some beautiful sunsets from the dock
We had a great stay in Michigan! The house was clean and well kept. I was in a great location mean the water, and near activities. The owner was super nice and very responsive to any and all questions/ problems. We had a blast, and would highly recommend!
The cottage was updated and comfortable, during our stay, in Mears. Close to everything! We liked having access to the pier, and water. Deven responded to any questions, in a timely manor. Would stay there again!
Good location between main Silver Lake downtown area, Lightshouse beach, and Silver Lake Dunes. We had 4 adults and 4 kids. The house was perfect size for that group. Silver Lake is directly next to the property with a dock that you can wlk out on and check out the lake. We didn’t have a boat but there is dock access for a boat. We had to clean up the outside area and the grill a little to use but wasn’t terrible. Plenty of parking for 2 trucks and trailers with 2 side by sides.
