About this property
Home on the lake. Walk out your door for Swimming, boating or morning coffee.
Location, Location, Location one of the best property locations on the entire lake. Delightful family location on the calm side of the lake isolated from traffic both on land and water. Conveniently located in a subdivision shielding it from traffic. Shallow waterfront, ideal for swimming with young children. Sand bottom lake with tie out for boat. Ice cream parlor and dune buggy rides within walking distance. Grassy waterfront for lounging lakeside, lake is ideal for water activities like skiing, fishing, and sailing. Full view of lake and sand dunes.
Mooring for boat, shallow lake front, outdoor gas grill, lawn chairs, patio chairs and table. Lakeside of cottage has sliding glass doors and windows with an unobstructed view of the lake. Great place to enjoy coffee by the water or relax inside with great view of the water. Enjoy 60' of Silver Lake frontage with the best views in all of Silver Lake area. No dirt or paved road to cross. Option to rent a second cottage on the same property (VRBO Listing #841621). Both have views of the dunes and lake, a fire pit, and a private dock. Bring your boat and dock it here all week. (Or rent a pontoon boat / kayaks / Stand up paddle boards on the lake).
One of the best locations on Silver Lake, not Upper Silver or the creek. We're located on the quiet side of the lake away from traffic. This cottage was recently renovated with an updated bathroom, new flooring, blinds, and lighting, as well as refinished cabinets and table. We're excited to share our sweet cottage with you. This location is within walking distance to Mac Woods Dune Rides and Whippy Dip. The kids can ride their bikes safely on our neighborhood streets. Just a short drive away (about 2 miles to the downtown area) are go-karts/arcade, bumper cars/boats, and 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. Also, check out Cherry Point Farm & Market for their wonderful cherry donuts (really delicious!). Additionally, 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 a fun and relaxing vacation . . . and return for generations!

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Bob Davies

From Chicago area and I have been enjoying Silver Lake my entire life.
Why they chose this property
We have a wonderful view of the dunes. We also are in a nice little subdivision, so it's safe for kids to ride bikes, and play.
What makes this property unique
We are in one of the best locations on the lake. There is less wind and the water is calmer than on the far side of the lake, and it's perfect for children and adults alike.
