About this cottage rental
One of the best locations on Silver Lake -- not Upper Silver or the creek. We're located on the quiet side of lake away from traffic. Located close to Mac Woods dune rides. Mooring for boat, shallow lake front that is great for swimming with small children, outdoor, gas grill, lawn chairs, patio chairs and table. Lakeside of cottage is all sliding glass doors with unobstructed view of the lake. Great place to enjoy coffee by the water or inside with great view of the water. Enjoy 60' of Silver Lake frontage with the best views in all of Silver Lake area. No dirt or paved road to cross. Option to rent a second cottage on the same property (VRBO Listing #816965 -- Vrbo 816965). Both have views of the dunes and lake, a fire pit on the beach and a private dock. Bring your boat and dock it here all week. (Or rent a pontoon boat / kayaks / stand up paddle boards on the lake).
Location, Location, Location one of the best property locations on the entire lake. Delightful family location on the calm side of the lake isolated from traffic both on land and water. Conveniently located in a subdivision shielding it from traffic. Shallow waterfront, ideal for swimming with young children. Sand bottom lake with tie out for boat. Ice cream parlor and dune buggy rides within walking distance. Grassy waterfront for lounging lakeside, lake is ideal for water activities like skiing, fishing, and sailing. Full view of lake and sand dunes.
When we are here, this cottage is our home . . . and we're excited to share our home with you. This location is within walking distance to Mac Woods Dune Rides and Whippy Dip. The kids can ride their bikes safely on our neighborhood streets. Just a short drive away (about 2 miles to the downtown area) are go-karts/arcade, bumper cars/boats, and miniature golf at Craig's Cruisers, shopping at Dunetown Mall, Ice Cream, restaurants, any type of water craft rental at the Wave Club, Jeep/Quad/Buggy rentals. Also, check out Cherry Point Farm & Market for their wonderful cherry donuts (really delicious!). Additionally, a ride out to the tallest lighthouse on Lake Michigan, Little Sable Point, to catch an evening sunset is a must-do on your vacation bucket list. The Lighthouse is open for tours during summer weekends.
Come for a fun and relaxing vacation . . . and return for generations!

It's not big, but it has everything you need for a great vacation - including the best location ON THE LAKE. Giant shad trees keep it cool. We were there during a heat wave & while it was warm, the shade made all the difference.100% sandy beach at the quiet end of the lake.Be warned - if you're being a lot of vehicles or toys, there's only room for 3 parking spots.

Wonderful view, fantastic yard - we have been coming to Silverlake for years and this ranks up there with many of the best properties on the lake. A little dusty/ dirty/ buggy in some areas but this is to be expected for rentals in this area- love love love that it is pet friendly and no signs of pet hair or damage from previous guests. Would like more towels (bath, kitchen) and perhaps another fire pit so the two cottages don’t need to share. Those are my only suggestions otherwise all great!

Broken toilet seat, intense mold smell, moldy outdoor furniture, and dark dreary decor and very narrow dock all lent for a disappointing stay. Looked inviting on paper but not a comfortable stay , albeit beautiful weather and nice lake view.
