Well-kept, comfortable home

Comfortable for a group of adults. Tons of seating in the common area to spend time together. Though we used our car there are some spots in walking distance. Very close to the dunes.

Weekend at Silver Lake Dunes

Stayed here as a group of 3 couples for the weekend to take ORVs to the dunes. House was beautiful, very clean, and in a quiet but active neighborhood very close to local parks and amenities. Property description was accurate and owners were extremely kind, as well as communicative. Very enjoyable stay at this property!!

Dunes trip

Perfect property for a small group of friends. Plenty of parking space we had 3 trucks and trailers with space for more. Host is very easy to contact and responds in a timely manner as we had one small issue and he was out there to get it fixed quick. We hope to stay again in the future!

Nice getaway!

Well-appointed, clean home with easy access to the sights around Silver Lake, without the congestion of being right in the middle of everything. Appreciated the wifi, the generous supply of linens, and the well-stocked kitchen. Very comfortable for 4 adults, not sure how easily 10 would sleep here unless most were children. We really enjoyed using the firepit every evening, and even got to see the Northern Lights one night!

Great Silver Lake Vaca

Our family spent 3 nights at this rental. Very clean and has everything you need. Neighborhood is quiet and peaceful. We biked with two 2 year olds in bike trailer to state park, Craig’s Cruisers, Silver Lake shops, ice cream etc. Went to Lewis farms, rode the Mac Dune ride, climbed sand dunes, and spent a day at Michigans Adventure (about 1/2 hour away). Lots to do and nice place to stay.

Clean simple property

The purpose of our trip was riding ATV’s at the sand dunes. Location was close to the sand dunes with plenty of space for parking a truck and large trailer. The house had the basic amenities we needed but could use some updates of furniture, appliances, and window coverings. The king bed was very comfortable but the pillows were flat. The queen mattress appeared to be rather old and was uncomfortable. There is no television service…only a DVD player. The house was very clean and we loved the front porch.
