Weekend Trip

We had a great time and the area was a great location close enough to all the main attractions. Was a quick and beautiful drive back and forth to the dunes. The cabin was well kept up with. Though it was just 2 of us, would be great for a family as well. Would stay again!

Exactly what we needed

This adorable cottage was super clean and was everything the listing said it was. Melissa was very friendly and even checked on us during our stay to make sure we were happy. So close to town, it was a perfect morning walk to grab coffee at the general store. We will definitely stay again.

Beautiful cottage, wooded, heated pool!!

The cottage was so cute, clean, and up to date. Very close to beautiful Lake MI and Silver Lake. Walk a short distance to heated pool, awesome, as Lake MI was freezing! Enjoyed the dune buggy Ride, the ice cream shop, walks on the beach,and campfires and singing away. I love to swim so the heated pool was #1. The hostess was super responsive and helpful!

The home was beautiful and extremely clean. The only thing for us was the mold smell was extremely strong. We lost clothes, blankets and pillows because we couldn’t get the smell out.

Breath of Fresh Air

In the area for a long weekend to celebrate a wedding and take a break from our everyday. This place was clean and quiet, sitting on the porch in the trees was exactly what was needed. Melissa was incredibly understanding and accomindating when a bout of food poisoning tried to off rail our weekend away. We definitely would come back! Thank you!

Perfect Find

We made a last minute decision to stay at Silver Lake so my fiancé could visit with his older children vacationing in the area. Finding this place on VRBO was such a blessing! The owners were great to communicate with and the property was clean and great atmosphere! Location ended up being perfect for many things to do in the area also! We are new to VRBO so didn’t know we needed to bring towels and I’d say that would’ve been our only downside, but trivial in the grand scheme of things! I would come back here again and again!!
