Silver lake rental

We had a very nice stay on our one week vacation at this cute little house. The house had everything you needed. It was close to the beach and set up really nice for kids. We really liked it and we were very happy with everything.

Far enough from traverse city that you don’t pay traverse city prices but closes enough to still do all the city fun stuff.

Mary and Larry were amazing hosts! They made the check in process so easy, left the sweetest welcome note/goodies, and the cottage was adorable! I say 4/5 stars though, because if you have allergies like we do, the bedrooms were musty smelling. It was weird, the kitchen/living rooms were fine but the bedrooms had the odor. It’s probably because the house is near the lake, but still should be noted. Also, there’s enough moisture in the bathroom for some spots of mold to grow on the ceiling… hopefully by the next visitors’ stay there will be a dehumidifier somewhere

I can't say enough great things about this home/property! First, the home looks exactly as pictured. Inside was even better. Very well stocked, comfortable king size bed in the master bdrm, clean newer bathroom. It sits just a few doors down from Silver Lake and only minutes from downtown Traverse City (we enjoyed the peacefulness of being away form the city). We brought our 23' foot boat and had plenty of room in the driveway for the boat and our truck. Owner Mary is awesome. She provided special goodies upon our arrival. As someone who likes to stay active, I was able to take long (safe) walks and runs through the subdivision next door. Only miles from Boones Steakhouse and Lake Ann Brewing (that place was "hop"ping. Less than a half mile to Suttons Bay and boat ramps on Grand Traverse Bay and Lake Leelanau. We had an amazing time. We can not wait to return next year.

This is a very quaint, cozy cottage with everything you need. The owners are quick to respond if you have any questions. The beds were a bit firm for our liking, but overall comfortable accommodations on a beautiful stretch of lake.

Why they chose this property

Have you ever wanted to go back to that time when you were a kid and relive an awesome memory? This cottage brings back the fond memories of my grandmothers summer cottage at a lake near Ann Arbor, MI. I have the BEST summer memories of lazy days and fun with my family away from the city (Detroit). This cottage brings those memories back to life for me. I'm hoping that you and your family/friends can create some of those same memories while staying with us!
