Great stay!

The VRBO is right down from the lake. There is a nice fireplace outside and plenty of room in the house. We wished the TV was a little larger and newer to connect to device's only for when it was raining but other than that it was a great experience

Worth the stay!

We are a family of 8 and its hard to find a place that will comfortably fit us all for a reasonable price. We had one little issue at the beginning but we took care of it. Our stay was great and we loved the house. We really enjoyed having access to the pool, which was close by. We would most definitely stay here again.

Great location

We choose this cottage to have everything in one spot. We were lucky that the pool was opened. We could use the pool, go by the lake. Grocery store and ice cream were in 15 min walk . My family really liked it. Kitchen had a lot of things that we could use for cooking. I think cottage would benefit from little updates. For us was enough. It is located in a beautiful area. Great response from the manager.

Fun time at the dunes!

Great location and very clean, well stocked home. Granddaughters loved staying with heated pool almost in our backyard! Nice layout of rooms and only 3 steps from utility room into main part of home. Owner was very quick to respond to any questions we had. Highly recommend.

Beautiful Cottage

The house itself was beautiful and in the perfect location. My only complaints (mostly bc i have a little one) were all the terro traps were knocked/spilled over, one toilet seat was broke and pinched the 3yo leg twice and made her bleed. Just needs a little tlc.

Enjoyed our stay!

When we were ready to book there were only a handful of rentals available in the area. We chose this unit because of the 2nd bathroom. This place more than met our needs to accommodate 2 families. The kitchen is very well stocked, beds are comfy and plenty of hot water for showers. What I did not realize was how fantastic the back yard is! My 3 year old niece really enjoyed the swing set and sand box! Although we did not use the fire pit, wood was provided as well as chairs. The "heated" pool did not seem to be heated but that could be because of how late in season we stayed. One bed room and bathroom is located away from the rest really giving some extra privacy! Plenty of room for parking our 2 vehicles and trailer although my husband missed the memo and parked in front of the neighbors garage instead. The owner of the rental was contacted by the neighbor and we quickly moved the vehicle. Sorry about that!

Terrible experience

I rented this house honestly because i wanted a pool, i messaged her that the pool was close and she said it was out of her control he responds time isn’t the greatest either, another thing is we got fined 500$ for apparently having too many people too many cars and smoking inside the house we followed the guide lines we had 5 cars parked in the area she had told us we had a total of 8 people the limit she also blamed us for someone else’s car parked on the street, it gets better I take full responsibility of this, but still insane. One of the blankets was brought outside next to the bonfire and I got a piece of ash on it. She charged me a smoking fee for inside because she found cigarette buds outside, and instantly thought that people were smoking inside the house after I explained to her countless amount of times what happen she stop responding and still charge me the $500 and it’s being very disrespectful and hardheaded about the whole situation. I am willing to pay for the blanket but not 500$ that’s ridiculous

Cute house, close to plenty of activities

The home was perfect for my family of 5. It is within walking distance to Silver Lake, and the small beach. There is a sea wall there, but you can easily walk or drive down to the Silver Lake State park beach to walk in to swim. There is plenty to do right there by the park as well, with Craig’s Crusaders, mini golf and ice cream. The Mac Dune rides are just down the road in the opposite direction, again walking distance. I did this as a kid, and was hoping to take the family, but my son has a broken collar bone and we weren’t sure how smooth/rough it would be. We instead opted to hike the sand dunes a little. He was able to hike them with having one good arm. I was able to take my youngest two kids horse back riding at Stony Lake Stables, just a short 20 min drive. We also took the 30 min drive up to Ludington(twice) for breakfast, shopping, ice cream, a walk to the lighthouse and playground. We made the quick 10 min drive to Little Sable Point lighthouse to lay at the beach, picnic and enjoy the lake. The lake was freezing, but it’s also the end of June. The only complaint I have is that I was hoping the pool would be warmer, as it was advertised as heated. It was about as cold as the lake, which would be great on very hot days, but in June in Michigan, a heated option is definitely needed. I did let the owner know, so maybe it can be addressed with the association. All in all, this home had a great beachy feel inside and I would recommend it to others.

Pleasantly surprised

This property exceeded our expectations. Very clean. Plenty of room for six adults. Having two bathrooms was a plus. The washer, dryer, dishwasher were a nice extra. The window air conditioner kept the living area comfortably cool. Nice big yard with plenty of seating. Steps away from pool, clubhouse, basketball, volleyball, and horseshoe pit (pit is right next to the house's fire pit). We had a great stay and would definitely rent again!

Not a pleasant experience

House was not clean and all things were not in working order. I had to spend our first day cleaning it and washing bedding. We left the house in a much cleaner state than it was when we arrived, and yet, we were charged for extra cleaning.

Silver Lake House Rental

We had a great week at Silver Lake and this cozy, clean home offered plenty of space to sleep the six adult family members. It is located close to Mac Woods Dune Rides and within a mile of town. It also offered a great community heated pool, beach (walking distance), tennis courts (pickle ball) and a horseshoe pit.

Great Amenities with House

Our trip of 8 (4 adults / 4 kids) was great. It’s a good size house if you have younger children like we did, with a big yard and play structure. A nice functional kitchen to allow a few people to prepare meals at the same time. Location is close to Silver Lake, just a couple of blocks walk to a small beach-like area. Best part of the place is the neighborhood and all the amenities (swimming pool, basketball, tennis, shuffleboard). The owner was very accessible and quickly answered a few questions that came up during the trip. Overall, would definitely recommend!

Perfect for a family

This was perfect for us and our family with 5 kids ranging in ages 2-8! The backyard was great for playing as well as the pool to cool off when we didn’t want to walk over to the beach. I wish it were closer to downtown Silver Lake as we love to go over there in the evenings but it provided EVERYTHING we needed for our stay with 5 kids! It did get a little warm some nights even with fans on due to no A/C but would definitely stay again. Thanks for sharing your home with fellow silver lake lovers!
