About this property

Upper Silver Lake Retreat

Relaxing, older, 2 bedroom cottage located in a great location on "all sports" Upper Silver Lake! Sleeps 10 and ONLY 10. No tents or campers allowed.1st bedroom has queen bed with a flat screen smart tv. 2nd bedroom has 2 bunk beds with lower bunks being a full bed and upper bunk being a twin - this bedroom sleeps 6. NEWLY REMODELED, full bathroom with tub and shower and washer and dryer in the bathroom. Open kitchen (there isn't a dishwasher, gasp!) dining room and living space. Living room has 2 couches that are both queen sleepers. Dock your boat or use the two kayaks or two stand up boards which are included in the rental to explore Upper Silver Lake. Enjoy swimming, playing in the sand, water sports or fishing off the dock (beach and dock area are shared with one neighboring cottage that we also own). End your day on the deck or the beach with your favorite beverage. Create wonderful memories with family and friends at our large private fire pit under the beautiful stars! We are located 2 miles from the dune entrance and our driveway is large enough to accommodate your dune toys. Please be aware that this is pet-friendly and has beach sand surrounding it. You may find a stray dog hair or traces of sand even though this place is cleaned by a professional cleaning company and laundry is professionally cleaned. If that is unacceptable to you, please find another house to rent. This one isn't for you.

About the host

Hosted by Melissa Gowell

Host profile image
We call ourselves the Gowell Gang and we currently reside in Milford Michigan. My husband grew up on Silver Lake in a family owned cottage and then spent his summers on Lake Michigan just down the road from there. As a family we have vacationed/visited this area for the last 30+ years. When we don't have this place rented out - we will be the family staying here and enjoying Upper Silver Lake!

Why they chose this property

We bought this property because we love the Silver Lake area. Upper Silver Lake is a quiet and beautiful lake that is just around the corner from all the fun activities at Silver Lake (dune rides, go carts, shopping, etc.)

What makes this property unique

Our home has plenty of parking for you and your guests. Beautiful brick fire pit for bon fires under the stars! Bring your own boat or jet ski and dock it right outside the door at our dock. We own this cottage and the one next door (to the left if you are looking at the lake). You will be in your own "space" but we do not have property lines on the beach area. If you want shade, you can go towards the left and if you want sun, you can move towards the right. Our dock is labeled one and two for identifying where to park your boat if you should bring one.
