We are located only 2 miles from the dune entrance and our driveway is large enough to accommodate your dune toys. We do own the property next door (property id # 993063) so if you are traveling with a large group, you can reserve both places if available. No tents or campers allowed. This is a quiet neighborhood, please be respectful of the close neighbors. Please be aware that this is pet-friendly and has beach sand surrounding it. You may find a stray dog hair or traces of sand even though this place is cleaned by a professional cleaning company and laundry is professionally cleaned. If that is unacceptable to you, please find another house to rent. This one isn't for you.

Nice, quiet and private. View of water is minimal. Located at the very end of a channel. The house inside is adorable and clean. If you're picky about your bedding I would suggest bringing your own. Lots of towels and and cooking utensils. The fire pit is close to the house with lots of seating. Also very private.

Very nice place. It was clean and offered a peaceful atmosphere. There were a lot of dragon flies and bluegill off the pier near the cat tails, which was really cool. Great place to stay if you’re hitting the dunes.

Relaxing Stay on Upper Silver Lake

Our stay was comfortable, quiet, and beautiful. We VERY much appreciated the location being dog friendly and Bernadette, our golden retriever, had a wonderful time watching the lake and the schools of blue gill while my husband fished. Would return.

Peaceful Place

This property is located on silver lake, near all of the wonderful silverlake things you want to do. It seems brand new, as always clean, and has what you would hope would be in a beach house. This is the second time we've stayed here and we always have a good time.

Fun family vacation

Property location was perfect. Home was comfortable with window air conditioning and fans during a hot temperature week. Owner was thoughtful to ensure we had helpful information in advance of arrival. We enjoyed fishing on the canal, the shade of the covered back porch, day trips and cook outs with plenty of space for meal prep and eating with a family of 8.

Fall Michigan trip

We travel each fall to Michigan. This was our first time going north of Saugatuck and we just loved it. The home was so adorable and the views of the lake were amazing. Had our morning coffee and evening cocktails on the back porch. Close towns we visited were Pentwater, Ludington and Manistee. Thank you for sharing your lovely home!

Clean, Peaceful Living

Loved our stay here at Melissa's property. The interiors are clean and stylish with an open floor concept that let's the whole family enjoy their time together. Be sure to take advantage of kayaking to start and end your day -- the water is warm and clear. Have your meals on the outdoor porch to take in the peace of the water and evergreens -- its a great gathering space, especially for our dog! We will definitely be back.

One of the best Memorial Day Weekends!

We had an amazing Memorial Day weekend. Played at the sand dunes LOTS, kayaked, relaxed on the porch and enjoyed quality family time. We felt right at home. We saw turtles, deer and a momma fox and her pups. Besides having everything we needed to make home cooked meals we also got to eat at our 2 favorite spots, Chicken Shack and Tasty Creations. We will definitely be back.

Great Experience

We really enjoyed our stay!! Home was very clean. Location was great. All around great experience. Excellent communication with Melissa. Absolutely love being able to bring our dog with us. Most rentals do not allow this and we were so happy for that. Already spoke with Melissa about booking for best year!

We live in Milford Michigan and have been enjoying the Silver Lake area for many years. Upper Silver Lake is a quiet area but close enough to all the action at Silver Lake!

Why they chose this property

We first purchased the cottage next door and have been renting it out when we aren't using it. This property became available and we decided to purchase it and build another cottage for renting and again, for personal use.
