About this property

Silver Lake Cottage with a beautiful view of silver lake and the dunes

  • The cottage is less than 1/4 mile from dune buggy entrance.

    There is a beautiful view of Silver Lake and the dunes from the cottage. Right across the street is the public access where you can moor your boat and swim. At the end of the road, you can climb the dunes and walk to Lake Michigan. We ask that our guests bring their own sheets and towels. We have a picnic table and fire pit in the yard. Inside we have basic cable, coffee pot, microwave and dishes, pots, pans and silverware. Parking is limited, so if you have big trailers, please message us to see if you will fit. We also have air conditioning and WiFi.

The location of this modest property was fantastic, including an incredible view of the lake and the dunes, and a short walk to the base of the official dunes entrance. Due to its proximity, there was a pretty good flow of dune buggies and 4x4 vehicles driving to and from the park, but we did not have a problem with it. Great value!! (Remember to bring your own sheets and towels.)

Beautiful location

We stayed here while visiting family and the cabin exceeded our expectations. Perfect for our family! The location was perfect, right across from the lake with great places to walk and hike in the vicinity. The large windows in the cottage made for an excellent view. We hope to stay again on our next visit!

Great cabin right by the dunes

This cabin is at a great location very close to the sand dunes. We were able to bring our dogs which was nice because we wouldn't have been able to take our annual trip to silver lake without being able to bring them. Looking forward to staying at this cabin again.
