About this property

HOPE -Upper Silver Lake Vacation House close to Silver Lake Sand dunes

HOPE - Lake home on beautiful Upper Silver Lake with TONS of room. The house is directly across the street from the lake’s private access. (We have 2 other
properties close by 4846442 FAITH and 4844413 CHARITY) There is a fire pit, picnic table, and if you like to fish you can do that too! They stock the lake every year.
The side deck is good for grilling. In the backyard there is a fire pit for late night campfires.
The house has all the amenities you need including Air-Conditioning. A full size washer and dryer, plenty of parking for dune buggies and trailers.
The location is great. Secluded enough to relax, but close enough to all the action if you are up for it. Downtown Silver Lake is approximately 2 miles away where you can rent Jeeps, dune buggies, jet skis, boats etc. If you have any questions about the house just ask!

Quiet Hours: As neighbors are close and families have young children we will ask that all guests respect quiet hours. Quiet hours will begin at 10:00 pm and end at 7 a.m. We have internet.

Although the house yields itself for larger gatherings, parties will not be tolerated.
We have a No Pet Policy.

This was the perfect place for us over the July 4th holiday. The place was huge and had everything we needed. The kids really liked the large deck and easy lake access across the street. There were multiple fireworks displays we could see from the house. It was easy to get into town and to the dunes, yet away from the busy downtown.

Nice Place!

Great place for a larger group of people. Super close to town, sand dunes, and beach. Owner was very responsive and kind enough to let us stay a few hours longer on our day of check out. We would stay here again.

We were very comfortable and couldn't be happier about the location. Had access to the lake across the road and only a few minute drive to the Dunes! The host was extremely attentive. Everything was as advertised.

Great Getaway

We had a great weekend away with 2 families renting this house. Close to all the fun but located on this quiet little stretch of the lake. The adults sat on the porch watching the stars at night. Well maintained property with very kind and nice owners.

Beautiful Property!

This home was great for our group of 9. Many beds, bedrooms and 2 full baths was great. We come out for the Silverlake Sand Dunes every year and always have a problem finding a property with good parking. My brother drives a monster truck which he pulls on a gooseneck trailer behind a diesel crew cab...and this trailer and entire other rig of similar length fit in the driveway! You have to know how to drive, but we also got a few motorcycles and another jeep and small enclosed trailer parked. Loved the home and especially the patio above the garage. We plan to definitely keep this property in mind for future plans. Thanks so much for everything!

Better than expected

**there was even a few bundles of firewood** Tim was very polite and prompt. The home was very clean. Check in and out we’re a breeze. The place is nice as well as the location. But the owner Tim. Has a proper sense of customer service. We didn’t speak much. Which I like it when the owners aren’t intrusive. But he was prompt when I did need something. I didn’t know it was included and we didn’t use them. But he even included a few bundles of firewood free of charge. Would definitely recommend

Enjoying the Silver Lake Dunes

During our trip to Michigan, we stayed at the HOPE vacation home and it had all the room we needed. There were 5 traveling (2 adults, 2 young adults, and 1 teenager) and we were very comfortable in the house. Everything was clean and neat when we arrived. We ate on the deck and watched movies in the evening. The location of the house with a nice view of Upper Silver Lake is relaxing. It was nice enough to do some grilling after running on the Dunes. Since it was cool and rainy when we arrived (June 18, 2019), the dunes weren't too busy yet. The conditions were perfect for the Dune Buggy. We also enjoyed sunset at Silver Lake Park/Lighthouse - very nice! We would definitely stay at HOPE again if we're in the area. We may try to have a Family Reunion at the Dunes and having everyone right nearby would be nice (using Tim's other two rentals (near)next door).

Excellent Stay with a Gorgeous View

Our stay at the HOPE house was great! There was plenty of room for my family of 4, in-laws and my parents. Since the rooms were split between the 2 levels, we were able to keep the kids downstairs for some quiet time so the adults could carry on their day upstairs. The closet area in the downstairs bedroom was perfect to set up my daughter's pack-n-play. The beds were comfortable as well as the pillows. Both bathrooms had adequate space, too. The kitchen had everything we needed to make our meals. We used the fire pit outside twice during our stay and it was a relief to see there were folding chairs we could use. We travelled from Texas and chairs weren't on our packing list! The view from the deck overlooks Upper Silver Lake and it was nice sitting out there in the mornings before the kids woke up. The location of the home itself was convenient to stay out of the busyness closer to Silver Lake. The neighborhood was pretty quiet. We were a bit worried about the weather since it had been hotter than normal but the house was very comfortable with the portable A/C units running occasionally. It happened to be over 100 degrees back home so we took advantage of the "cooler" weather for us. I grew up visiting Silver Lake with my family and hadn't stayed on Upper Silver Lake before. I will definitely look at this property for our future visits. Thank you, Tim!

Perfect location and setup.

Super easy to check in, plenty of room for our family to spread out and unwind between adventures on the dunes and lake. It was awesome to have such a huge open kitchen and living room area to visit and make meals. Everything was spotless and well appointed for our family. This will be the first place we check for availability when we are ready to come back up that way. Thank you!
