Why they chose this property
Vic and I have been coming to Silver Lake with our grandkids for years (camping in our travel trailer)! Never did we think we could or would have our own little cottage on Silver Lake. This is such a beautiful and fun place to visit! We are so blessed to have a home of our own here and it is our pleasure to share it with others!
