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!

Beautiful property! Close to everything.Very clean, so comfortable. So quiet and relaxing! Everyone with us said their bed was so comfy.Parking was great, we had 3 trucks and trailers and fit all with no problem! If we are back in that area in the future we will ask to reserve again!
Property was overall a great stay. We were able to fit 2 full size trucks with 24' trailers and plenty of room left over. A large circle driveway made easy to pull in and out. The house was clean and spacious. The A/C and wifi worked great as well. The host was awesome and responded very quickly to any questions we had. Will definitely be staying here again in the future.
Peaceful and very quiet wooded location for our weekend getaway! We enjoyed our stay in this 4 bedroom home which was perfect for 9 adults. The kitchen was well equipped and there was ample parking plus a grand firepit!
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.

Our apologies for your inconvenience! We always sent our entry code and arrival information via email and so far never had issues with renters not checking their email. Moving forward we will ensure to send information on both platforms. We hope you enjoyed the rest if your stay!
Stayed 2 nights. Clean and easy to find. Everything we needed. Kids played corn hole, we enjoyed the Michigan summer weather, campfire and s’mores. Would stay here again.
Had a fabulous time with the family, felt right at home. The property had everything we needed for for a perfect vacation
Close to dunes, but had complete privacy.
Hope to come back again soon
This place was great, we all enjoyed staying. The beds were comfortable, good water pressure, nice appliances. Very quiet and peaceful location, I will book a stay here again. I highly recommend this property. Thanks again.
Had a great stay at the cabin with a large group of friends the house was great for what we needed lots of parking space and a nice garage we were able to utilize during our trip. We eill definitely be back.
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!
The house was great! It had everything we needed including a garage (to play cornhole) that we could use since it was raining in the evening. I would highly recommend this rental.
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.
