Very nice house and was very clean and very nice fire pit area. Spacious deck with enough chairs for everyone and great place to hang out in the early morning with a cup coffee and in the evening as well. The make up of the floor plan and the bedrooms and beds was perfect for our family. The host Ryan was great and responded to any questions we had and provided information that made the check in and check out very easy. Look forward to staying here again when we return to Silver Lake.

This home is nicer than the outdoor picture shows. It's super clean. There is plenty of space, dishes, and eating area for 12 people. The lawn is grass rather than dirt like many in this wooded area, so it's great for littles to run around and play. It is directly next to one of the compact crushed stone trails through the woods to the main Floradale area where the pool and game courts are. The trail easily has space for pulling littles on a bike trailer to get to the pool. We've been renting in the Floradale area for about 10 years, at Silver Lake for over 40 years. This spot is quieter than most, close to Floradale amenities and a short stroll to the large, seldom used, shared beach.The only downside is typical of many cottages built at this time; it is dark inside with the wood interior. However, this gives it a true Up North feel as it's decorated with a woodsy bear theme. Ryan is just a text away with any questions.

Great Location with Attentive Host

Our stay in Silver Lake did not disappoint! Ryan was a very attentive host and the house was perfect for our family. The access to the boat and the lake made for a relaxing getaway that didn’t feel rushed. The houses proximity to great food and treats was wonderful too. Would definitely recommend!

A great place for a family reunion

The house is very clean and has everything one may need, and even more. The neighborhood is safe and quiet. It was great to use the new fire pit and the private swimming pool, tennis courts, and table tennis. Close to Silver Lake, sand dunes, and Lake Michigan. Overall, we had a wonderful stay.

Check-in went well after we got the lock figured out and we unlocked the opportunity to make some amazing family memories! Host was attentive to anything that came up, the house worked perfectly for us, kitchen is well stocked with supplies and super helpful to have some items for smaller children. The screen porch is great for family game time and the deck looking out over the woods is so peaceful. The firepit was relaxing to use and the couch is great for napping after a day at the beach. The local activities are lots of fun too. The whole family would like to go back!
Took a walk to the top of the lighthouse - even the 3 & 4 year old made it!

Silver Lake 2024

My family and I stayed at Silver Lake in 2012 and had a great time. In 2024, we wanted to relive that experience, and our stay did not disappoint. We had a great time catching up, swimming, playing games, and having campfires—and that was just at the property! The area offers a lot of activities for the whole family to enjoy.

We sadly had to leave Silver Lake this morning. This property was ABSOLUTELY PERFECT for one mom taking six teenage boys on a lake vaca. The two 17 year olds commandeered the basement. The four 15 year olds claimed the oversized upstairs loft area. I took a room on the main level. The two extra bunks on the main level went unused this trip, but maybe next time. The kitchen was an open ended galley style which made it easy to use and great for maneuvering around the house. The hosts provided all the necessary kitchenware and several extras. There was a pantry for all our food to be hidden away and off the counter. The four top table in the kitchen was great for our random eating habits. The big table on the enclosed porch and/or the two tables on the back deck worked great when we all sat down to share a meal. The big table was ideal for cards and board games. We mostly loved the enclosed porch for keeping our outdoor gear out of the way while still being secure and also to keep sandy shoes out of the house. The firepit was a HUGE HIT! We played soccer, visited in the comfy Adirondack chairs and of course made s’mores. The hosts also provided a few outdoor games.The boys loved the heated pool, b-ball court and tennis court for pickleball. Being within walking distance of the beach area, Craig’s Cruisers and other businesses was a bonus. We rented the hosts pontoon for the week for tubing, cruising, swimming, and the dunes.Highly recommend!Holly (07/2026)

Quiet little cul de sac

Nice place. If you like your own quiet corner this place is great. Only downside was the driveway. If you have multiple cars you need to do a little dancing with the vehicles sometimes. It would not hinder me from renting this place again.

Wonderful - somewhat secluded yet central to all we love about Oceana County

We really enjoyed our stay here, at the end of a wooded cul-de-sac yet close enough to Silver Lake that we could easily walk the path to the pool and beyond to watch the sunset over the dunes from the Association shore area. My favorite times were spent at the fire-pit or with morning coffee on the deck, chatting with family. Plenty of room to relax and grill out. The house was easy to keep tidy, had just about everything we might need, and had minimal requirements on check-out. The beds were comfortable for 9 of us, and having upper, middle, and lower levels allowed us some space and privacy. We were able to fit six cars in the driveway. The owner was easy to reach by text when needed. We would definitely stay here again!

Quiet Peaceful Location

This house is located at the end of a culdesac in a quiet neighorhood. The owner just put in a very nice concrete firepit down on the bottom of the property. That is where we spent every evening. The house was a good size for our group. We had 3 couples and 2 teenagers. The teenagers shared the bunk bedroom while then each couple had their own private sleeping areas. There were 2 bathrooms that were shared. The living area and kitchen were the right size for our needs and we cooked breakfast each morning and then usually either lunch or dinner. Breakfast was enjoyed on the partial wraparound deck that overlooked the firepit and wooded area. There was also plenty of parking on the driveway for 3 vehicles and a trailer that had our side by side. The location of the house was within a mile of main Silver Lake area and just a little further from the dune entry. There was a community pool near the house that you could either drive or walk to through a path located near the house. The pool was good size with plenty of seating, a water slide, and shaded areas. We went down once during our stay and we were the only ones there. The only problem that we encountered was the AC not cooling the house. We contacted the owner and within hours he had an AC guy there repairing the unit and the house was cooling again. There is a pontoon boat rental that you can get with the house as well for a good price. Owner was great to work with and was extremely responsive to questions.

The kitchen was well stocked with condiments, and cooking essentials, dishwasher pods etc. There was a starter supply of TP and paper towels. We found the basement rooms a bit cool as they had not warmed up yet from outside temperatures that were still early June, but there was enough sun to require air conditioning for the upstairs. This also cooled the basement. Fire pit, deck and grill were all in good shape and enjoyed by our family when it was warm enough outside. Texts to Mr. Phillips were answered promptly.There were also supplies for doing our laundry. Neighbors were friendly and invited our grand kids to play with them. The main bed was comfortable, but a little high off the floor for short folks. There was a large supply of towels and wash cloths.
