About this property
RELAX here, deck, AC, assoc. pool & playground, walk to town, on channel, pet OK
The Beech House gets its name from the large beech tree stump by the cottage (sadly used to be the whole tree) - plus you will find 'BEACH' here. Silver Lake is an amazing place to vacation - endless fun, activities galore, and the incredible Silver Lake Sand Dunes and Lake Michigan beaches to explore. This property has been in our family for 40 years and we added it to our rental listings in the past 10 years.
We have strict cleaning protocols for your sanitizing assurance between rentals. Guests bring their own bed sheets/pillowcases and bath towels. All mattress pads, pillow case protectors, bed spreads, bath floor mats, bath hand towels, door rugs, kitchen towels are replaced between each stay.
The cottage has AIR CONDITIONING! We are happy to make you more comfortable on those hot summer nights.
This cottage has a large great room, open to the fully-remodeled kitchen and to a large deck. The deck has a view of Hunter's Creek and a peaceful wooded lot. There are steps/decking down to the dock - bring your pole and cast a line. The creek has direct access to Silver Lake, suitable for smaller boats, kayaks, canoes and wave runners. Our guests really enjoy exploring the creek and navigating out to Silver Lake. During your stay you also have use of the association pool, playground and picnic area just down our street. We have pool/beach toys in the shed - help yourself!
There are 3 bedrooms, equipped with a queen size bed in two of them and full size bed in the third. We have two new couches in the great room. The bathroom has a tub/shower combo. The great room is very open and perfect for socializing (6 persons at the table, 3 seats at the bar and more on the deck at the picnic table). The kitchen is fully equipped with stove, fridge, microwave, coffee maker, toaster - the works! We fully remodeled the kitchen in 2023. We aim to please the 'foodie' in you!
To make your stay more relaxing, we have loaded the book case with beach reads and books for the kids. There is also a toy bin and plenty of board games. We have a smart TV with ROKU, Xbox console/games and wireless fiber internet.
Outside there is a gas BBQ grill, deck furniture and fire pit. We have a long driveway that can accommodate your trailer with all the 'toys' and additional parking spots along the road. Be sure to check with us to make sure we can accommodate your parking needs.
This location is within walking distance to everything - you can be close to all the fun, but enjoy privacy & quiet. The kids can ride their bikes safely on our paved cul-de-sac street. Just a short walk away are go-karts/arcade, bumper cars/boats, miniature golf at Craig's Cruisers, shopping at Dunetown Mall, Ice Cream, restaurants, any type of water craft rental at the Wave Club, Jeep/Quad/Buggy rentals. Or, hop on your bike or lace up your running shoes and cruise the paved pedestrian path around the entire lake. A ride out to the tallest lighthouse on Lake Michigan, Little Sable Point, to catch an evening sunset is a must-do on your vacation bucket list. The Lighthouse is open for tours during summer weekends.
Come for the fun - return for generations!

About the host
Hosted by Tammy Carey
Hi! Tammy & Sean Carey have been renting cottages at Silver Lake for 30 years. The Beech House was passed down through the family, recently coming into our ownership.
We pride ourselves on having very clean and well maintained/equipped properties. We live and work in the area and are available immediately for any maintenance issue or questions. Our past renters have become our friends, coming back year after year.

Why they chose this property
This was Sean's family cottage dating back to 1973. They completed a beautiful addition by adding a great room, expanded deck & decking to the creek. We also did quite a few updates to the cottage. Sean and Tammy also met right here in 1984! Tammy & her siblings all own a family cottage down the street. Our 4 boys have grown up on this street visiting their grandparents on both sides, playing in the pool & playground, riding their bikes, boating, fishing in the channel and all sorts of shenanigans . We have so many fond memories on this street. We know you will make great family memories here too.
We know the great restaurants, the cool beaches, where to hike, bike, and of course, we have dune buggies in our barns. We moor our own boat on Silver Lake at our other cottage often spend our Sunday afternoons on the dunes! We try to keep in mind what makes a fun vacation and make sure our properties are equipped to create lasting memories. Our welcome binder has all the recommendations - from wine tours, farm stores, theme/water parks to deep sea fishing - the Silver Lake area really has it all. If we can help you plan your vacation activities - just ask!
