About the host
Hosted by Katie Kinney
Matt & I (Katie!) purchased Silver Lake Cottage in the spring of 2020, so we could be part of bringing families and friends to a peaceful retreat at a place that is close to our hearts, Silver Lake!
Our family loves spending time on Silver Lake, and it's our desire to create a space where families want to come back to enjoy, year after year.
Our family loves spending time on Silver Lake, and it's our desire to create a space where families want to come back to enjoy, year after year.
Why they chose this property
Matt is a third generation Silver Lake resident! Matt, both of his parents, and his grandparents were all raised on Silver Lake. Silver Lake Cottage actually sits on part of a piece of property that once belonged to his grandma's family farm - our love for this place runs deep!
What makes this property unique
Silver Lake Cottage is a quaint and peaceful getaway. You can be as secluded as you would like to be and stick close to the cottage with 60 feet of private beach, or venture out to Traverse City and enjoy everything TC has to offer!
