Wonderful home for extended family vacation. Plenty of room to spread out. Could use some new hot pads and oven mitts. Other than that, house was very well-stocked with necessities and with fun extras (bags game, beach toys). Owners were VERY helpful and great communicators.

Spacious home with all the tools needed for a relaxing and fun stay. We stayed at this property for a youth soccer tournament. It was perfect, the girls had their own private space downstairs and the adults enjoyed the upstairs.

We had a such a wonderful stay at this house. We had a family vacation and the house was perfect for the 10 of us. The house was very clean and well-stocked. It was great to have a kitchen, multiple bedrooms, multiple bathrooms, and a washer/dryer on both floors. The house had everything needed for a week at the lake, including kayaks, life vests, fishing poles, sand toys and plenty of beach chairs. The complimentary s’more ingredients were enjoyed by everyone. Overall a super vacation week with many great memories.

Ekis Family Gathering

Mercedes,Everyone loved your home and we were able to use all couches and bedrooms to provide restful sleep for everyone. The wall of glass on the main floor provides exceptional views of the lake. Your home is well equipped in every way - linens, towels, dishware, cooking and eating utensils, etc. Really a grand place. You could actually embellish your listing with a bit more detail such as the fire pit and wood supply, hammock, life preservers, gas grill, corn hole, etc. And all that we needed for s'more was a hit. So thank you very much. Ed Ekis

PERFECT - lake house with EVERYTHING

This home on Silver Lake is perfect. We were a family of 6 adults and 2 youngsters and we had room to spare! It is amazingly appointed and could not have a better location and lake access. It is the rare case where the house and everything is BETTER than the pictures! Mercedes the host was so accommodating and enabled our 1 year old and 5 year old to have everything they needed including life preservers, high chairs etc! The beach and dock's and kayaks made every day fun. The afternoon shade at the water edge makes it great for those hotter days. I can not imagine anyone having anything but the best vacation ever at this home.

Perfect for our large family!

We spent 6 nights here, and had a great time! We had 6 adults and 4 teenagers, and had more than enough room and activities for everyone. The space is perfect, the location can’t be beat, and the hosts have thought of everything. Wonderful communication before and during our stay as well. Zero complaints and would definitely stay here again! Highly recommend!

The best spot in TC

We had an incredible stay on the lake and I can't say enough great things about our experience! Comfortably fit a group of 10 adults. The amenities (grill, fire pit, dock and lake access, outdoor tables, double kitchens/laundry rooms) were excellent, and all communications with the hostess were speedy and smooth. Great view of the Silver Lake July 4th fireworks from the dock!

This home was extremely comfortable for the four couples in our group. The layout was perfect for comfort and privacy. Kitchens were extremely well stocked, and layout of upstairs kitchen worked well for more than one cook in the kitchen. We had a wonderful time, and would readily book this property again!

Beautiful house on the lake with gorgeous Lake view. Lots of room for the 7 of us. Clean and lots of space for us to either sit together for games or have our own time. Close enough to the shopping centers or convenience stores when in need. Property owner was very helpful and quick to respond. We had a great time!

We have stayed at several VRBO houses and this was by far the best experience we have had. Mercedes was awesome! She was quickly responsive and helpful to any questions he had. The house was set up perfectly for our needs and exactly as described. We would very much consider staying at this house again. Thanks Mercedes.

Wonderful home!

The house was exactly as pictured. Very comfortable for 2 families; would have fit the original 3 families we had planned for with plenty of rooms and bathrooms. The lakeside location is perfect and it was super easy to take the kayaks out and enjoy the lake. The hosts were really responsive and helpful - and I bugged them several times before we even showed up. Would definitely stay here in the future.
