About this property

SILVER LAKE, 5 ACRES OF PRIVACY, 500 FEET PRIVATE WATER FRONTAGE!

This property was previously rented prior to our returning from Alaska, after 24 years, in 2014. (Reason for limited recent reviews) We have owned the property since 1989 and have since built a new house. This lodge and cottage is now available. Many upgrades from previous rental history. New 80' dock, additional kayaks, swing sets for the kids, 5 mini split air-conditioning units, new living room furniture.
Paired as a large home and guest cottage, this waterfront estate will comfortably welcome your family gathering with ample space and all the amenities you need to make this your home away from home. With 500 feet of private frontage on Silver Lake, your family can enjoy all the water and outdoor activities this 5 acre parcel has to offer. The privacy and space make this an ideal setting for family reunions and provides a host of activities for young children. Our oversized shore allows you to step off the porch and enjoy all the toys that are included with the rental. The rowboats, kayaks, and paddleboats can be launched from your own dock so you enjoy the refreshing lake. In addition, horseshoes, volleyball and a pool table are yours to enjoy. Our home offers you the convenience of outdoor cooking on our grill so you can enjoy a picnic on the beach and relax into the evening with a campfire in the fire pit. Located just 10 minutes from downtown Traverse City where you can shop and play and within minutes of Traverse City’s own Minor League Baseball team, The Pit Spitters. Great fireworks after all home games on Friday night with great viewing from the property. This property is sure to be everything you need to make your vacation perfect!


The main house sleeps 16. The spacious home offers a master bedroom with a king bed. A second bedroom is furnished with a queen bed and twin bed. The large, open loft on the third level is the perfect slumber party getaway that kids of every age can enjoy with 7 twin beds, 1 queen bed, and 1 king bed. A bonus room with a pullout futon offers an additional space for guests. This home offers a spacious, fully equipped kitchen with a dishwasher; a full size washer and dryer; 3 bathrooms; satellite TV; Bose DVD player/stereo and WIFI. In addition to the home, the guest cottage is located directly next door, (perfect for grand parents who need a break or want to retire early) offers complete kitchen, bathroom, living space and 2 bedrooms, which sleeps 4. One bedroom offers a queen size bed and the second room has twin size bunk beds. All linens are provided for your convenience during your stay. Both the house and the cabin have enclosed porches where you can relax and enjoy the lakeside breeze. We look forward to welcoming you to our lakefront property and providing you with everything you need to make this home yours during your stay!

Amazing
Wonderful property with everything you could ever need. Gracious and responsive hosts, fully stocked inside and out with supplies and activities, clean to a tee, centrally located, ample space. We had a fantastic stay for our multi-generational group that we will remember for years to come.

Excellent accommodations, superb property, great hosts
We've stayed before on Silver Lake, but this property was, by far, the best. The location is ideal on a quiet cove. Also great is the physical outdoor property - LARGE beachfront and at the end of a dead end road so you don't have to worry about traffic with little ones. SO many things to do outside - volleyball, swings, water, kayaks, paddleboats. The house and cottage are surprisingly roomy - we fit all 18 of us! But what makes this property stand out is the owners. Absolutely outstanding and willing to help. GREAT place for family (multi-generational) gatherings!

Family Vacation Success
We had an amazing week celebrating our fathers 78th Birthday. Our group had ages 9-78 and everyone had a blast. We all felt like we were at summer camp. Rick and Peggy were amazing hosts and so gracious. The house had so much to do. Great kayaks and smaller boats. We rented a pontoon for several days which was a big hit. We explored several nearby towns and ate at great restaurants. Highly recommend this house!
