The Perfect Getaway

The property was exactly as described. We loved the retro theme and the location. We were able to walk through the backyard to see the dunes and then down to the beach to watch the sunset. Overall a great place to stay. It was clean, safe and our host was so accommodating and communicative.

Good Place

It a nice small house for a 3 day weekend. The backyard is basically the sand dunes as there a dirt/sand dune in the back yard to climb. You will hear the dune ORV cars when the ORV park is open. Not super loud but you will notice that if you use the fire pit or open the windows. Land owner was quick to respond and professional.

Such a nice little place. Very clean and everything worked as intended. The fire pit in the back yard is a nice addition. Be sure to watch the sunset and check out the stars via the sand dune. Verizon doesn’t have cell service here but the wifi is very strong.

Definitely recommend this place. You won’t be disappointed.

We had an amazing stay. Erick welcomed us with nothing but kindness. The home is well-cared for inside and out. It is cozy but never felt small or cramped. We had everything we needed to be comfortable and really enjoyed lounging on the patio and around the campfire. There are neighbors but you would never know; there is plenty of privacy. There is also beach and dune access from walking distance so you can enjoy the beautiful sunsets over Lake Michigan. You can also get into town within 10 minutes to enjoy all that Silver Lake has to offer. We would stay here again anytime and want to thank Erick for such an amazing stay!

Great property for vacation!

The house was clean and comfortable- just as described in the listing. We enjoyed the amenities such as a/c, wifi, and the patio. Location was great for beautiful walks to Lake Michigan. The dune lovers in our family could leave to hang out on the sand, while the beach lovers could walk to the dunes beach to play, then get picked up for a ride home, to Whippy Dip or the Chicken Shack. The driveway had just enough room for our truck, jeep, and 24’ (total length) trailer.

Perfect find

This cabin was just what we were looking for to test and recharge for a few days. It was cute and cozy with everything we needed. Being the off season, it was quite and secluded. Being able to watch the sunset from the top of a dune, surrounded by other dunes, and being the only people there was an amazing experience.

Great private retreat

Awesome off the beaten path location in a private community but very close to dune access, Mears, Hart, Pentwater, etc. Walking distance to the Lake. We were concerned about dune noise beforehand (with our 3 kids under 6) but honestly never even heard orv noise. Host was very communicative & ready to help (we had no issues though). A/C & internet (got 200mbs+) both worked without issue. Would stay again.
