Nice Place, Close to Beach

Overall, a nice place to stay. Some well done refreshing has given the place a coastal feel...except the bathroom which feels a bit dingy and dark. Deck and outdoor space are nice, and the place is perched atop the hill, offering breezes and great afternoon sun through the trees. However, the advertised sunset views are non-existent, unless you take the short walk to the beach. That's an easy enough walk if you can manage the hill, but you certainly won't be enjoying an evening cocktail watching the sun dip below the lake Michigan horizon from the deck.

Fun time in Michigan

We had a great time staying at the cottage! The property owners were great to communicate with through the whole process. Gave us a great recommendation for a pizza place “Hart Pizza”! The location was great it was an easy walk to the beach and the lighthouse. A couple of not so great things were the oder in the bathroom and the ants. I will say they were ant stations around but they were having a hard time keeping up. Overall, we had a great time at the cottage.

Great location!

This cabin is great for a small group to enjoy Lake Michigan and silver lake. Super close to most local attractions. Kitchen is small but can handle basic meals. Don't expect much in the way of pantry items. Porch is lovely and neighborhood is quiet and friendly. Suited our group of 2 adults and 3 kids under 8.

Vacay with Granddaughter

When you fifteen year old granddaughter asks you to take her to Lake Michigan, you find a way. Due to timing of the request, there weren't many suitable options near Silver Lake. This cozy cottage did not disappoint. Short walk to the beach and quick drive to ice cream, the arcade, and dune buggies. Would stay there again.

Great Little Cottage

Cottage was very clean and in a nice quiet location just a short walk away from the beach. Beds were comfy and the bunk beds were large enough to accommodate adults. The cottage is small and cozy. The ventilation system worked well and the home stayed comfortable during the day, and cool at night with the windows open. We had a great stay! It is worth mentioning the driveway up to the house is a bit steep, and the main shower is tiny and may not be great for those on the taller side. There were some minor things that should be addressed but overall the property was very nice. I’d stay there again!

Why they chose this property

This is a very unique setting. The lot itself is almost 200 feet wide. The cottage is about halfway up a hill that backs up to sate land. You are in the tree tops with lovely views of the big lake. Very private!
