It’s a magical area!

We mainly picked this cottage because it’s close to my brothers, and that worked so well. Love the location between Lake Michigan and the sand dunes. The cottage was clean, cozy, and comfortable.

The property was great. The pictures do not do it justice. We really enjoyed the private beach and the dunes were really cool. We loved the way it was off the beaten path but still easy to get to other activities.

We had a great stay at Rhele's Roost!The host was very friendly and response. The property is a short walk from an amazing beach. The cabin itself was well provisioned and clean - we lacked for nothing. The outdoor space was a dream. Large fire pit and plenty of space to hang out and let our toddler run around. Our family and I had an amazing stay there and will definitely be returning. Thank you, Erick, for being such a great host!

This property had a lot to offer. The tent was the best part. The family was disappointed that the peddle vehicle was out of commission and there was no air conditioning on the hot days. But all in all, it was a good stay.

Juniper beach is the perfect area to stay!

Dune trails and adventures are in the back yard at this cute little cottage. The beach is just a short walk and the sunsets are amazing. Eric was a great host and made sure we had everything we needed. The wooded roads leading to the home was magical to walk down to see deer and fawns. We will stay again

Rhele's Roost Review

This home was exactly what we needed for our week at lake Michigan. It fit our family of five perfectly. We were able to walk to the beach and hike on the dunes every day. The host was kind and generous. The home and property were clean and well kept.

Excellent host and a great property. Home was exactly as described. I decided to do a spur of the moment dunes trip with my SXS and couldn’t have worked out better with the location of this property. The backyard is quite literally the dunes and you have an amazing view of Lake Michigan out front. ORV park entrance is 5 mins away. The entry road to the neighborhood is a bit narrow and steep at times but no issues with my F350 and 16 foot trailer. The driveway is easy to back into but I wouldn’t go more than a 18-20 foot trailer. Overall, for the price and location, I would recommend staying here.

About the host

Hosted by Erick F Pardo

Host profile image
Hi my name is Erick and I thank you for visiting.

I'm a US Navy vet, and with my family, we were pleased to be able to live and travel to some great places around the world.

This is my 2nd endeavor with vacation rental properties. Our 1st house is located at Cobmoosa Shores near Shelby Michigan. We are now excited to be able to share our beautiful cottage with others.

Get ready for some sixties nostalgia! Our cottage has an eclectic, retro style all its own. Walking distance to Lake Michigan and backyard hiking access to Silver Lake Dunes State Park. Perfect for outdoor enthusiasts.

Artsy décor, and furnishings, and an electric blue kitchen welcome you inside, while a deck and pergola provide comfortable outdoor dining.

Close to Pentwater and Ludington.

Open all year. AWD or 4x4 recommend for winter stays.

Silver Lake Dunes ORV Park is open April 1st to October 31t.
Please be sure to look before you book if riding the dunes is on your list.

Why they chose this property

I met Rhele, the original owner in the summer of 2019. We hit it off right away and from that moment, I knew that I wanted the cottage for myself.

The cottage is small but incredibly roomy. Fully decorated in a 60's contemporary style that will take you back to a simpler, kinder time.

If you need a break from the hustle and bustle of the world, there are few places like this. I always get the best sleep here. I'm not sure if it's the sound of the surf or just a feeling of seclusion. Whatever it is, I know you'll love it too.

Silver Lake Dunes ORV Park is open April 1st to October 31t.
Please be sure to look before you book if riding the dunes is on your list.

What makes this property unique

Our back yard is Silver Lake Sand Dunes. Lake Michigan is 500 steps away.,

Nearby locations include Mac Woods dune rides, Sliver lake state park/Lower silver lake, Silver lake ORV park, go cart and fun center, Sand Drag Way, Sable point lighthouse, Fox winery all within 5 miles!
