About this property

CHARITY - UPPER SILVER LAKE VACATION CABIN

NICE SIZE OPEN KITCHEN, DINING AND LIVING ROOM SPACE,
SLEEPS 8

Lake Cabin at gorgeous Upper Silver Lake just waiting for memories to be made. The large lot is perfect for gatherings with large decks on both the front and back of the cottage. It is a great place to relax and enjoy the tranquility of stepping away from the real world.

We have 2 other properties close by FAITH 4846442 and HOPE 4846407 if you need more room.

The house has all the amenities you need. A washer and dryer, plenty of parking for dune buggies and trailers.

The location is great. Secluded enough to relax, but close enough to all the action if you are up for it. Downtown Silver Lake is approximately 2 miles away where you can rent Jeeps, dune buggies, jet skis, boats etc. If you have any questions about the house just ask!

Quiet Hours: As neighbors are close and families have young children we will ask that all guests respect quiet hours. Quiet hours will begin at 10:00 pm and end at7:00 am.

Although the house yields itself for larger gatherings, parties will not be tolerated.

Great location close to everything in Mears

Loved the location ,nice house, great parking for trucks and trailers. The only thing was the exterior lighting in front was poor and the steps in front are very dark at night. Would definitely stay again!

Pleasant Stay

We had a good time while visiting Mears, MI. The stay at this lovely home was nice. Couch in living room could use an upgrade, but home has good space and back yard is huge, had fun running around with the littles of the family. Close to all the places like the lake, lighhouse, dune rides, shops.

Family wedding in the area

We stayed here as there was a family wedding in the area. I wish we could have stayed longer to explore more but it was perfect for what we needed for a weekend wedding. Great location, great house with everything you need and more. Great communication, easy check-in and out. Great experience.

Cute cottage that had ample space and amenities for a great family getaway to the Silver Lake Sand Dunes. We loved our trip & would stay at this property again. The Host was attentive & quick to respond with an unforeseen delivery of space heaters (as the furnace struggled to kick on the first cold night of the season). This quick “customer service” response was greatly appreciated & sufficiently warmed the cottage for our weekend. Thank you, Tim, for your kind & quick response!

Great Dunes Location

We chose this house for our family of 7 to be close to the dunes. The large driveway was great. The short drive to the dunes was awesome. The property was quiet and secure, safe. The house was clean and well thought out. The kitchen was adequate and had everything we needed. The common area was cosy and there was plenty of outside deck and lounge area. My kids and wife all said they want to go back.

Nice location to the dunes

Nothing fancy but worked for the weekend. A few hiccups w accessing the house as the lock was one we’ve never used. One of the beds was broken (box spring) but we made due w putting the mattress on the floor. Only other issue was the can opener was broken but Tammy, the neighbor, was gracious to loan us her’s.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. The keypad lock is a standard lock. Also we offered to come repair the bed, but you denied the help. I'm glad you were flexible with it. I have taken care of the other issues. Thank you for your stay! Welcome back!

summer break

The house was perfect for us. The kitchen could use 2 light bulbs replaced ( we put one in but didn't see more bulbs.). The downstairs bath needs light bulbs too. The previous renters did not clean out the ashes in the bbq. The kitchen could use a hand held can opener ( the neighbors were kind enough to help us out.) Very nice neighborhood!

The property was perfect for our family. We enjoyed playing games at the kitchen table which fit all of us. It was close to all the activities we planned. The driveway fit many vehicles plus our jet skis. The neighborhood is peaceful and the little lake was pretty to look at in the morning. It rained a few days and we never got a chance to use the fire pit out back. We left our wood for the next family, hopefully they get to use it. I wish we could have stayed longer. I would definitely stay here again. Thank you for sharing your home with us!

Tim’s place was just as described! We truly enjoyed ourselves for a summer weekend at this place in Silver Lake area. It’s a really good location, close to the dunes and beach. The house has a big kitchen and spacious bedrooms. It also has huge decks on the front and back of the house that my family enjoyed hanging out on. Highly recommend!

About the host

Hi, I am Tim Kasza. Welcome to Beautiful Upper Silver Lake. My family, consisting of 4 boys and 4 girls have lived here since 1991. The Lord called us here to teach in a little one room school. He provided a small farm near Shelby where we reside today. Since this is orchard country we raise peaches which are ripe during most of the month of August. Our boys have also expanded in the Maple Syrup business, producing syrup, maple covered almonds and pecans, granola, maple sugar, waffle and pancake mix, along with Maple candy. The second Saturday of March is a highlight around the farm with Maple Open House.
