Feel free to inquire about the renovation. We can also show you our other cottage in the same association if you are interested in a larger cottage or are traveling with a larger group.
We do rent by the week, Friday to Friday from mid June to Labor Day. Before and after those dates, we do rent for a 2-3 day minimum. If you dont see exactly what you want with dates feel free to message and we will see what we can do to accommodate you!
Just a few miles away is the state park dunes where you can ride through the sand or walk. Also, you can take a dune ride from Mac Woods or rent a buggy to tear up the dunes yourself. There is also a 22 mile paved bike /hiking trail along with mini-golf, bumper cars, go-carts, and many specialty shops to browse through. So book your vacation today for summer and fall 2026! I hope to hear from you soon!

Great location, open layout and easy parking for trailers and vehicles. I would 100% recommend and stay again. Just a a fun a beautiful place to come and relax for a getaway! Thank you for allowing us to be able to relax and enjoy ourselves in your beautiful rental!
We absolutely loved staying here. The owner is doing a great job with supplying you with things you may need. The location was perfect. The pool was great. Pricing was very reasonable. I would defiantly recommend staying here.
Beautiful property. Easy access to the lake. Comfortable beds and the AC kept the house cool. The host was extremely helpful and quick to respond. Thanks for a great stay!
We had a great time and the area was a great location close enough to all the main attractions. Was a quick and beautiful drive back and forth to the dunes. The cabin was well kept up with. Though it was just 2 of us, would be great for a family as well. Would stay again!
This adorable cottage was super clean and was everything the listing said it was. Melissa was very friendly and even checked on us during our stay to make sure we were happy. So close to town, it was a perfect morning walk to grab coffee at the general store. We will definitely stay again.
This is our third summer staying at this site. We love the location and pool access of the neighborhood. The cottage has everything we need and is in great condition when we arrive. Highly recommend the site!! Cant wait for another trip!
We enjoyed our stay. Grilled out one evening and did a fire for kids to make s’mores. Enjoyed Mac Woods tour and Little Sable Lighthouse. We also did Sleeping Bear dunes. Perfect house for a family!!
We will be back and nightly recommend!!
The cottage was so cute, clean, and up to date. Very close to beautiful Lake MI and Silver Lake. Walk a short distance to heated pool, awesome, as Lake MI was freezing! Enjoyed the dune buggy Ride, the ice cream shop, walks on the beach,and campfires and singing away. I love to swim so the heated pool was #1. The hostess was super responsive and helpful!
Beautiful, newly updated cabin. Great location, close to many attractions and towns. Pool was amazing and super close by. Would have given all 5 stars, but when I booked, listing said washer and dryer in cabin but there was none. Listing was updated. Melissa checked in on us when we arrived via text! Thanks for a great vacation rental!

Thanks for staying with us! We'd love to have you back in the future! Apologies for the miscommunication. As you noted the listing has been updated to reflect the new remodel. ~Melissa
The home was beautiful and extremely clean. The only thing for us was the mold smell was extremely strong. We lost clothes, blankets and pillows because we couldn’t get the smell out.

Mold smell? I am really unsure of what this is referring to and of course would have tried to correct or replace anything of theirs that was damaged. We check in with our guests during their stay and nothing was mentioned. And concerns about items being damaged was not brought to our attention after their stay. Hard to fix any issue they have if we are not informed about it.
In the area for a long weekend to celebrate a wedding and take a break from our everyday. This place was clean and quiet, sitting on the porch in the trees was exactly what was needed. Melissa was incredibly understanding and accomindating when a bout of food poisoning tried to off rail our weekend away. We definitely would come back! Thank you!
We made a last minute decision to stay at Silver Lake so my fiancé could visit with his older children vacationing in the area. Finding this place on VRBO was such a blessing! The owners were great to communicate with and the property was clean and great atmosphere! Location ended up being perfect for many things to do in the area also! We are new to VRBO so didn’t know we needed to bring towels and I’d say that would’ve been our only downside, but trivial in the grand scheme of things! I would come back here again and again!!
