Great Location with Attentive Host

Check-in went well after we got the lock figured out and we unlocked the opportunity to make some amazing family memories! Host was attentive to anything that came up, the house worked perfectly for us, kitchen is well stocked with supplies and super helpful to have some items for smaller children. The screen porch is great for family game time and the deck looking out over the woods is so peaceful. The firepit was relaxing to use and the couch is great for napping after a day at the beach. The local activities are lots of fun too. The whole family would like to go back!
Took a walk to the top of the lighthouse - even the 3 & 4 year old made it!

The house is very clean and has everything one may need, and even more. The neighborhood is safe and quiet. It was great to use the new fire pit and the private swimming pool, tennis courts, and table tennis. Close to Silver Lake, sand dunes, and Lake Michigan. Overall, we had a wonderful stay.

Silver Lake 2024

My family and I stayed at Silver Lake in 2012 and had a great time. In 2024, we wanted to relive that experience, and our stay did not disappoint. We had a great time catching up, swimming, playing games, and having campfires—and that was just at the property! The area offers a lot of activities for the whole family to enjoy.

Dune Vacation

The location of this property is awesome! As the last house on the end of a cul de sac you get little to no traffic. The path to the swimming pool is directly to the left of the property and you are at the pool within a 10 minute walk. The swimming pool is great - very clean and has an amazing slide! The house is completely stocked with hand soap, dish soap, laundry soap and the owner provides a great start up kit with TP and paper towel. The rooms are comfortable and everything you need is available. The kitchen has enough pans, pots and dishes to prepare and eat meals. Communication with owner was easy and we had no issues during our stay. If I return to the dunes, I would book this property again!

Everything was perfect! We liked that the house was in a subdivision, but still had major privacy. Everything was super clean. The beds were all so comfortable. We walked to take the kids to the pool - it was really nice and had a slide. The bon fire at night was great! I would definitely plan a weekend again here in the future with the family!!

Wonderful Vacation Spot for a Family

Loved this house and it’s location. Plenty of room for everyone (3 Adults and three kids, kids loved the bunk beds). Generous supply of necessities and kitchen appliances and utensils, even everything for the fire pit. Lovely setting with access to pool, rec room, etc. A/C went out but owner was quick to get repair attended to. Very nice vacation experience. If we came back to this area on a vacation, would definitely consider staying here again.

I really appreciate your understanding with the AC going. In marketing they say "it is not what happens, it is how you resolve what happens that is remembered." I manage my two homes with that very simple philosophy. We hope to you have you back in the near future. AC will be cold and waiting...

Perfect Silver Lakes stay

We had so much fun in Silver Lakes! This home is close to all of the activities in the area-sand dunes, beaches, lighthouses, restaurants (we loved The Chicken Shack), MacWoods, Whippy Dip ice cream, Craig's Cruisers, Lewis Adventure Farm, Country Dairy, many orchards and farms, Ludington and all it has to offer, wineries, the town of Hart, and the list goes on! It was a great family trip! I would highly recommend renting the boat if you plan to enjoy Silver Lake and the sand dunes, so much fun with kids. Take your boogie boards and sleds!

Thank you very much for staying with us. In order to clean the house to our standards it takes a while and laundry is the single item that holds up our cleaners. We ask that you start a load of laundry to help the cleaners out and make the next guests stay as enjoyable and as clean as you found it to be. Have a great summer!

Quiet little cul de sac

Nice place. If you like your own quiet corner this place is great. Only downside was the driveway. If you have multiple cars you need to do a little dancing with the vehicles sometimes. It would not hinder me from renting this place again.

Good location

Overall we were pleased with our stay. The house worked well for our group. Each family had there own space and the one room worked well for the kids as well. Ryan was very helpful during the check-in. Location was good.. close to the lake and sand dunes. The community was very nice as well. We felt a few things could use some updating, however, it did not ruin our stay. The boat rental was a nice addition as well. We would recommend this house.

Thank you very much for staying with us this year. As a first time guest I hope you see what draws back our loyal guests year after year. I agree that the boat is a great addition. So much that we added a pontoon this year so we have one available for each house we own. We spend a lot of money each offseason updating our properties as things get neglected, damaged, worn out. We love feedback on what you feel needs updating. As it so happens the two things you mentioned were already taken care of since you checked out.

We absolutely loved this place!

Our annual family vacation to the dunes with our adult children was perfect. The house had plenty of space for everyone, especially loved the downstairs living area that allowed some privacy for the young adults. The large dining table was great to share our meals and hang out. The location is close to everything. We enjoyed meeting Ryan who was so helpful. He takes great care to make sure everything is just right. There are just so many nice details to this home, we hope to be back again next year. Thanks for everything Ryan

About the host

Hosted by Ryan

Host profile image
As a kid I spent many summers enjoying the dunes, lake Michigan's beaches, evenings at the Whippy Dip and roasting marshmallows over a glowing campfire. We would take day trips walking around Pentwater, Ludington and the small towns nearby.

Now as a parent i look forward to building new memories with my family at silver lake and we hope our place allows you to build lasting memories with your family.

Why they chose this property

This property is the perfect mix between a secluded quiet cottage and being close enough to walk into town, to Mac Woods or the Whippy Dip.

The private beach has soft sugar white sand that offers the best views of the dunes. Enjoy an evening by the water and cook hamburgers on the grill. A step over the short seawall provides great swimming in sandy Silver Lake. While it's not the best place to swim it does provide peace and quiet from the busy Lake Michigan beaches. We also have a boat slip for rent if you'd like to bring your own boat and enjoy tubing, skiing, or trips across the lake to the sandy beaches of Silver Lake.

The house is cared for by us and helped maintained by a local resident. We live in Grand Rapids so we are close by if you need us but we respect your privacy and trust you know how to enjoy yourselves responsibly.

The most important reason to rent Parasail Place is because we understand what you want in a vacation rental. We ourselves have rented a wide variety of places and have shared your frustrations of not having what you need to enjoy a week away from home. You should not have to worry 'am I forgetting something, do we have towels, what about linens and pillows, spices and utensils. I hope this place has what we need.' We have added everything we could think of, within reason, to add but if we forgot something that is necessary we would be happy to provide it.

Our intentions are for you to pack your bags not pack your house up.

What makes this property unique

Room for 2 families without breaking the budget.

Our house can actually accommodate the number of people it sleeps both for dining and relaxing.

The house was designed with kids in mind. We know you want to relax too and having the kids enjoy themselves makes your vacation much more pleasant. Besides the property amenities (pool, basketball, tennis, shuffle board, and the rec center), classic board games, woods nearby for exploring....and best yet, a separate living room for the adults to sit and talk while the kids play games or watch movies.

This house has the comforts of your home only miles away from the bustle of your city or town.
