Two day get away

Overall a 5. Great view of the lake and sand dunes. We climbed the sand dune a short walk down the street, easy climb and breathtaking views. Very loud and busy corner but we enjoyed all the action. The only con is the corner bedroom mattress and the couch mattress were very uncomfortable.

Great place, right across the street from the water and right down the street from the dunes. One thing i would do before traveling is see what days things are open, a lot of stuff is closed sunday through Thursdays. The cottage has everything you need in the kitchen for cooking. Plenty of plates and silverware. There are some lawn chairs for sitting next to fire. No washer or dryer, but can wash things in the sink and hang on the 2 clothes lines, they provide clothes pins. The beds are not super comfortable, but there was plenty of room for the 4 of us and our dog. Overall a great location and great cottage.

Perfect stay

We came up for the jeep invasion weekend and it was the absolute best stay. We were right on the main drag so we enjoyed the jeep parade, walk to the dunes, walk to get ice cream. The beds were really comfortable. My son loved having access to the tv and all the channels. Furniture has been updated since photos. Water was hot. It was perfect for our family. I brought my Alexa and was able to keep a camera on the dogs while we went into the dunes. They made taking our dogs on vacation so easy. We will book again!

Always wanted to stay at this corner lot, glad I finally got the chance. When not at the dunes I was able to still see all the amazing sand toys drive by. Listing was exactly as described and pictured. Host were great to work with and extremely fast at responding.

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!

Silver Lake, Fall 2024.

We always have a freat time at Silver Lake. Overall cleanliness seemed ok compared to sleeping in a tent. Cabin could use some TLC. Located on a very busy corner.

Worth it

It’s a 1/4 mile from dune entrance with a view of the lake and dunes. The house was below my standards but ok. Furniture was worn out and uncomfortable. Beds were decent was a plus. Water tasted bad and sewer smell coming from the shower pretty bad. I took a shower, but my wife wouldn’t. Heater worked, but super loud so you couldn’t leave it on. For the price I would stay there again to be close to the dunes.
