About the host
Hosted by Bretta Young
We are John & Bretta Young, both Michigan residents since birth. We have enjoyed the Silver Lake area & the sand dunes for 20+ years with our two children. We have been campers to lake front cottage owners and everything in between. We enjoy our time at the cottage as well as other hobbies. Utah is our favorite state to visit! We enjoy mountain biking, repelling, boating, canyoneering and spending time with friends & family. We welcome you to stay with us and experience this amazing area for yourself. We hope wherever you choose to stay you make memories to last a lifetime.
Why they chose this property
Spacious family cottage for rental. This is a place for a quiet retreat away from the busyness of life, but close enough to downtown if you want to take in the food, shops and activities. Down town as well as the dunes are just a couple minutes away and offer several places to eat, a mini roller coaster, bumper boats, mini golf (2), go carts, zip line and some of the best pizza you've ever had from the Pizza Factory!! We offer a well furnished and decorated space you are sure to love. We have four entertaining spaces that overlook the water, an attached spacious deck, lower covered deck, back deck and a patio down by the water with a firepit. Bring your boat or jet ski, just let us know ahead of time. Swim right off the dock! The lake has a no wake zone, no wake before 11:00 am and after 7:30 pm.
What makes this property unique
Close to all the hustle and bustle of Silver Lake Sand Dunes but the quiet serene experience of a privately owned lake front property. Great swimming, kayaking, boating, biking/walking trails and golf near by, with night time fires roasting marshmallows all in a fully furnished cottage where all you really need is friends and family to share it with!
