Great time at lovely cottage

We absolutely loved our time at the cottage.It is a perfect place to spend time so close to everything but away enough to reconnect with the nature.The cottage was spotless and very tastefully decorated.

Very Peaceful

The house was very clean. It’s located 7 minutes from the dunes so we were able to do many activities, and it was a very nice and cozy spot to relax after all of our climbing.

Tranquillity Tucked Into Adventure Spot

We came for Jeep Fest and fell in love with this perfect hideaway nestled into the woods. Easy to find, everything included, perfect to rest and recoup location. Especially after a busy day on the dunes and exploring the area. This lovely home was so cozy and inviting. I just wanted to stay snuggled up on the couch in front of the fireplace the whole time. The decor was like a charming Tennessee Cabin with Michigan wildlife quietly walking through the woods. Great hosts with flawless communication. Definitely a “come back” location on our next trip to the area.

Great location at silver lake dunes

We loved our stay! The house is the perfect size for a family of 4. So close to silver lake dunes and we also visited ludington and new era and other towns nearby. This was our first trip to the area and we really enjoyed it. Wifi is pretty slow but that made for more family time!

Escape To The Forest

Silver Lake and the greater Rothbury area provided for an exceptional adventure. The Cabin was the perfect place to stay and spend time together. The stay created for lovely, lifelong memories. Many thanks to the Arnouts for being awesome hosts. We look forward to coming back one day soon.

Awesome, quiet spot at Silver Lake!

Very nice little house, has everything you need. Property was sprayed for mosquitos before arriving, much appreciated. Minor issue with the WiFi that was corrected in a timely manner. Would definitely stay again. Thank you!

Idyllic Spot in the Woods

We loved being close to the dunes and other things to do but being able to retreat to the sanctuary of this cabin. We set up a hammock by the firepit and spent many memorable hours talking by the fire. The place was convenient and comfortable and had everything we needed yet has the cabin charm we were looking for. We'd definitely come back.

Great location - 2nd time back

Great cabin in a secluded and private location yet super close (5 mins. Or less) to all the area has to offer. Silver Lake is awesome especially for kids and teens. The beaches are excellent. The Arnouts are great hosts. The cabin is clean and mostly has everything you would need(more forks please!) This was our second stay at the cabin and we plan on making it back!

Our 3rd Time at This Property

Really nice, comfortable, convenient place to stay close to Silver Lake & Lake Michigan but removed enough for privacy and quiet. The only possible problems are lack of air conditioning in one bdrm and getting up the road to the property because of loose sand (may need truck/Jeep).

Quiet in the woods

Had our first few days away in 3 years. We love the dunes and the cities around Mears. Luckily we had planned on cooking meals as pretty much everything was closed until the weekend.

Perfect Place for an Up North Getaway!

Super easy process renting this super cute and updated cabin in the woods. Great location that’s slightly secluded but not far from the dunes at all. Beds were very comfy. Definitely would recommend it to anyone, especially if you’re bringing your canine companion. It was perfect!

Close to Silver Lake

This cabin is located close to Silver Lake unfortunately we had some problems. The cabin had a strong odd unpleasant odor that permeated the entire place. I sent a message to the owner upon arriving but never had a reply. The five lights over the table had 3 bright, 1 dull and one not working. The mirrors were covered with a heavy white film, one of the three towels we used had a hole in it, and the shower curtain liner had rusty residue. There were bits of dirty debris in the shower tub and on the bath floor so I cleaned them both which turned the paper towels black. I then felt compelled to clean a lot of other surfaces. In the morning my husband tried to use the coffeemaker. Because it hadn’t been cleaned the old grounds were covered in mold and mold was also found in the water reservoir. I would not stay here again.

Perfect location and accomodations

This was our first time to the area and we were not disappointed. Great location, great amenities, and such peaceful surroundings. Glad we decided on your place vs. staying directly in town with all the tourists. We especially loved the fire pit in the evening and looking at the stars.
