Lovely cottage, perfect place to go and relax. Driving distance from everything you could possibly want to do in the area. We found the perfect beach, the perfect winery so many fruit stands and pastries. So much to do in Traverse City area. A wonderful cottage to come back too after a long day of doing stuff.

My husband and I stayed for 3 nights at the end of May and hated to leave. It had everything we needed (towels, kitchen items,etc) for a great stay. We loved easy check in, great communication with hosts,access to beach and cleanliness. Our favorite spot at days end was relaxing on the deck in the double rocker with a glass of wine and view of lake. Perfection!!

Cozy cottage with modern amenities within 10 minutes away from Traverse City downtown. Groceries, restuarents, recreation, and attractions are closeby. There's a beach lake down the cottage and amazing views, fire pit, sun deck and gazebo. We stayed here for 4 nights with family chilling by the beach and enjoying the views. I found it was exactly the kind of vacation I hoped for.This is a hidden gem and totally worth booking. We'll definitely be back again.

About the host

Hosted by Connie Lepkowski

Host profile image
We have lived in Michigan our entire lives and have always loved Traverse City.

Why they chose this property

After experiencing vacationing at Silver Shores, we jumped at the chance to become owners when one went up for sale. And it just so happened to be the very cottage we would have wanted. We loved the lake, the beach, the cottage layout and everything about it. A dream come true. Our children have grown up at this cottage and we have so many great memories. Now, as our family is growing, we look forward to sharing these good times with our grandchildren.
