About this property

Lakefront Family Friendly Home with Large Sandy Beach and Beautiful Views

The cottage/home is on Silver Lake, which is one of the premier lakes in West Michigan, only 15 miles from downtown Grand Rapids and 5 miles from Downtown Rockford. The home has about 2000 sq. feet with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, plus a large 4 season porch surrounded by windows. The home is in a quiet and safe neighborhood on a large flat lot with 80 feet of sandy beach with a Solo fire pit for gathering with your family and friends. The property also includes a 300-foot-deep back lot with a large driveway and garage.

Silver Lake is an all sports lake with about 225 acres that is in the top 5% of lakes in Michigan in water clarity. The home is in a protected area from westerly winds and faces southeast so you will enjoy waking up to beautiful sunrises and sunsets that can be seen from the water.

The home was updated in the winter of 2022 with a new kitchen, appliances, floors, paint, gas fireplace, and some new furniture.

A large dock is included with platform on the end with Adirondack chairs and a swim ladder. A 4-person paddle boat, 2 kayaks, and 2 stand up paddle boards are provided for your enjoyment. The property also has, corn toss, croquet, horseshoes, volleyball, bocce, bikes, water/sand toys, life jackets, etc. are provided for your use.

A nice 2021 Avalon 20-foot pontoon boat with a 60 hp engine is potentially available for rent during your stay. Please inquire about pricing and availability. I have 2 homes on the lake, and it is reserved to the first renter that request it.

Almost anything you would need for your stay is included, except for food and beverages.

There are numerous recreational activities in area with many parks and bike trails close by. A variety of wonderful shops and restaurants are located within 5 miles of the cottage. In the winter Cannonsburg Ski Resort is 2 miles to the south of the home.

I also have another 3 bedrooms, 2 bath rental on the lake about 12 houses away if the dates are not available. The VRBO # is 1351695

Senior Night at Cornerstone University
This was a great location. My family enjoyed the house and loved the view. I appreciate all the help when I asked questions. We would definitely come again. Thanks again!

Gorgeous location! The owner was very responsive and accommodating throughout our time and handled any concerns promptly. While it’s an older home, some of the downstairs was remodeled and beautifully done, especially the sunroom! The home was very well stocked for our 10 day stay. The beds were very comfortable. Our only feedback to the owner was that the upstairs loft with the queen bed is not a true 3rd bedroom so there was no privacy for that area. We would definitely recommend and stay here again.

Fantastic spot for a large group
Very happy and satisfied with the property, amenities, communication with the owner, and the location. Very clean and well stocked supplies, plenty of space for my 7 person group, beds and sleeping areas aplenty. We mostly stayed inside for our duration (by choice) and the group definitely did not feel claustrophobic or needed to get out. 5 min drive to a grocery store, several location well-known establishments, and just a short drive to GR or Rockford proper. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a great location and a great property any time of the year.

About the host

Hosted by Brian DeGraaf

Host profile image
Life long resident of the Grand Rapids area. This is the 3rd home that I have had the pleasure of owning on Silver Lake. Proud father of 2 adult children. Career change has prompted living in the Pacific Northwest part of the time. This has allowed the opportunity to offer my home for your family and friends enjoyment. My mother and 2 brothers also have homes on the lake. I also have another vacation rental on Silver Lake, Washington, and a 41 foot trawler boat for recreational charters on the Columbia river.

Why they chose this property

Beautiful part of Michigan where it has the feel of being in Northern Michigan, but close to amenities and only 15 miles from downtown Grand Rapids. A short 5 miles from quant, historic, and charming Rockford. The home is on a quiet and safe street close to a turnaround with plenty of room outside for many activities. The home shows pride of ownership and offers a variety of amenities for guests of all ages. One of very few properties that has a pontoon boat available for rent.

What makes this property unique

Lots of space outside to spread out. My brother lives next door is very helpful if you need anything if I'm not around. The best customer service is an absolute must.
