About this property

We are very secluded and take extra steps to protect your safety

You will love our beautiful and secluded cottage with 4 Bedrooms, 2 Baths plus extra shower stall in the laundry room. We can sleep up to eleven guests very comfortably.

Our cottage is located on a peaceful and wooded lot less than half a mile from Silver Lake and near the State-Park. No direct neighbors allow for a private and secluded setting even though all the fun Silver Lake has to offer is only a stone throw away.

We have plenty of parking space for vehicles, trailers and dune toys. A circle driveway provides easy in/out access. Our detached garage is available for you during your stay to keep your dune toys dry in case of bad weather.

The cottage features a fully equipped kitchen with dish washer, convenience appliances, a snack bar in the kitchen, a small 'game room' on the lower level with access to a stone patio, a campfire pit, covered front deck, balcony deck off the kitchen with gas grill (propane furnished), fenced in yard, picnic table and lots more.

Come and enjoy your next vacation in this beautiful location!

The home was very comfortable, well stocked, and a nice location that was easy to find. The only issue was that we had a complication with our check in, which was resolved by VRBO and the host.

Cute cottage, in very secluded setting. Large bedrooms, ample living space between living and dining rooms, comfy beds. Very reasonable price. The only drawback we found was the "early" checkout time of 10. Most places are 11.

Excellent stay

Check-in process was great, the property owner communicated expectations well. The house was perfect for our family with lots of space for kids to play outside. There was plenty of space indoors to prepare meals and play games at the table. Will hopefully make it back again!

Great experience and location

My family of 3 + 1 dog had a wonderful stay. The house was well set up with everything you could need and very clean. The wooded setting made you feel “away from it all.” It was great to use the fenced in area for our dog too. It was a short drive to the dunes. We would definitely stay here again.
