Great place to stay!

Love this place, close to everything, but far enough away to feel a little more secluded. Clean house and easy to talk to the owners when anything is needed!

We had a perfect experience staying here. The house is so nice and big and comfortable and stocked with absolutely everything you could need. Tucked in a nice neighborhood but quick access to everything. Communication with the owners was so easy. We will definitely be back again.

Family dunes annual trip

This was a great house to stay in and the location was good. Was close to the silver lake sand dunes which is why we come up here. Was able to park my trailer in the driveway without a problem. This is a great place to stay at and would come back again. Thank you

Great trip

We had an excellent stay at the Silver Lake Custom Cottage. It was more spacious then we thought, and it was the best equipped VRBO we have stayed in. We loved being able to bring our furry friends for their first dunes adventure. We come up at least once every summer and will definitely stay here again.

Great for a family getaway

The house was awesome and conveniently located from the downtown area, Mac Dune Rides, the lighthouse & Lake Michigan beach. There was plenty of room with my son's wife and 2 grandkids having their own space in the basement while the rest of us occupied the first and second floor bedrooms. Lot's to do and see in the Silver Lake area. Awesome trip!!
