My first impression arriving at the house was 1) Wow! look at the lake! and 2) that the house was very well appointed. Everything about the house was so comfortable and set up for easy living. It was a great home base for enjoying Silver Lake and the Silvercryst community.

Excellent stay and cleanliness!!!

Property was beautiful and clean just as the explained. It was still cold outside but we enjoyed the hot tub which was super clean. Great restaurants in the area and my wife enjoyed the shopping. Wish we could be there in the summer to enjoy the lake because it’s a beautiful lake. Thank you Mr Rick for a wonderful stay and place!

Silver Lake vacation 2025

Our grandkids loved the lake for jet skiing, wake boarding and fishing. Another highlight was the hot tub. We enjoyed ice cream at Milty's right down the road and also nearby Barbecue that was just excellent! Thank you Rick and Angela!

Absolutely Perfect Getaway

Everything about this rental was wonderful. The location on Silver Lake is beautiful. The house is immaculate and makes the most of its location. The enclosed porch overlooking the lake is a great spot to eat, play games, or just relax and watch the lake. The outdoor hot tub got a lot of use. Nice area with a lot of amenities not too far away but also quiet enough to feel disconnected from things. Can’t wait to come back again!

Good to be back on big silver!

We had weeklong family reunions at big Silver for about 80 years. Eventually, we lost our cottage rental because it got sold. We hadn’t been able to find another place on the lake until this year. We were so blessed. It’s an absolutely beautiful property and wonderful house. It met all of our needs and more. Especially enjoy the Jacuzzi and the location of the cottage. We hope to go back again next year.

Great Place on Great Lake!

We've stayed here 2 years in a row and we love it! This home is so perfectly appointed, it makes you feel quite special to stay there. Easy to work in kitchen, with many places to hang out with your group or find a spot to be by yourself. The porch on the lakeside is the best...wonderful spot for family meals and games, but also a perfect spot to hole up with a book. The hot tub is perfectly placed for lake views and the large deck the same. Whether you're hanging inside or out, you're in a great place. This is a short walk to one of the best restaurants in the area with it's own great lake views. Highly recommend this place!

Great Rental Property

We loved this rental property and plan to return next summer. The layout of the house flowed very nicely. The porch was a great place to gather and had enough room for everyone to be able to socialize together. The backyard was flat and able to play yard games without any problems. Great bonus was only two steps into the water. Good fishing right of the pier. The owners were very easy to communicate with.

Beautiful home and location

This home is well equipped, charming, and very peaceful. The view of the lake and yard are beautiful. We had a great time with the pontoon and ski boat we rented while there. The house had more than enough sleeping space and plenty of outdoor furniture, hot tub, fire pit, and large porch overlooking the lake. We had all our meals on the porch and played lots of games there also. We brought our bikes along and enjoyed riding around the lake. We would definitely recommend it and will most likely go back there again ourselves.

Perfect family retreat!

We have been fortunate enough to stay at this property a few times and each time, we are reminded what a great location and property it is and it always exceeds our expectations. Even though this is an original cottage, it has been thoughtfully and beautifully updated and furnished. Rick and Angela are fantastic hosts, responsive, keep guest well informed, and are generous with their piece of paradise. Our family does tend to settle in and not venture far- so I can only speak to the property itself which has everything one would need to enjoy and relax. We used the kayaks and SUP, and spent a great deal of our days just playing in and on beautiful Silver Lake. Time was well spent- fish were caught, many games played, belly laughs had, tales told, sunsets watched from the deck, and some s'mores and great family memories were made. Thank you once again for sharing your property with our family we as always hope to be back.

You'll Fall in Love with This ace

We loved this place! We've been vacationing on Silver Lake for over 50 years and have stayed many places...this is one of the best! We had 3 families stay here during the week we rented and the layout was really good. Good spaces for hanging out with each other, but layout is such that you can find places to get away on your own too. The kitchen was really conveniently situated, with several of us being able to work in there at a time. Bedrooms are comfy, bathrooms have lots of space. The biggest treasure is the porch on the lakeside...you don't want to leave it... The outdoor space worked really well for our group. Many different spots to hang out and felt like a decent amount of privacy. Great spot from which to boat and really nice area for swimming. We loved being so close to Silvercryst...a long time and great supperclub...easy walk. The owners are really responsive and very easy to work with. We would not think twice about renting again 😊

Great for a Girl's Weekend

Cute historic cabin on a beautiful lake. Lots of beds for sleeping and plenty of seating for games and dining. My girlfriends and I really enjoyed our stay and relaxing in hot tub! Great location with 3-4 wineries in close driving distance. Good restaurants close by as well. Would stay here again if we were in the area.

A perfect place to get away.

My family and I have been fortunate enough to be able to stay at this property many times now. It truly has everything you could want as a setting for a great get-away. The property owners are exceptionally responsive to communications and the house is simply wonderful; beds and space enough for everyone, as well as common areas for meals. The large porch and table might just be my favorite spot on the planet. Silver Lake is special to us and this home helps makes the time on the lake pretty amazing. Super convenient location and some really nice amenities, we couldn't ask for more from the hosts or the location. Thank you for again sharing your slice of Silver with us.

A Great Silver Lake Cottage!

We had a fantastic time at this cottage. The cottage is located on a very scenic part of the lake offering outstanding views. It is uniquely decorated and had more than enough room for our children and grandchildren. The large enclosed porch, outside deck and shaded lawn provided a great space for our family to gather each day. All the amenities provided made for a wonderful time. The wave runner, kayaks, and paddleboard allowed us to explore all aspects the lake. The hot tub, audio system, swing, firepit and grill also made for a perfect week at Silver Lake. We can’t wait to come back again! Mark and Sharon Miller

Great home away from home

Our stay in Wautoma at the Brudny property was fantastic. We we were right on the water with beautiful views. Plenty of space inside with all of the amenities needed. We went in November, so needless to say it was quite chilly outside. Inside, we were cozy and warm. I would recommend this property to anyone looking to stay in Wautoma!

Surprise romantic weekend getaway for my wife's birthday!

I rented Sliver Lake Cabin for my wife's birthday. We had a great relaxing weekend! The cabin was everything we were hoping it would be!! The hot tub and view of the lake were awesome. We enjoyed dinners at silvercryst supper club and Moose Inn. We can't wait to visit again and highly recommend this cabin for anyone!
