Bordering Lake Michigan and Silver Lake, the remarkable sand dunes area consists of nearly 2,000 acres of rolling sand hills 1.5 miles wide and 3 miles long. Still growing and moving, it is considered one of the largest deposits of living dunes on the shores of Lake Michigan. Most of this region is part of the Silver Lake State Park and is open to the public, the beginning of April through October.

Divided into three sections, the northern area is reserved for off-road vehicles where you can test your vehicle and your sand driving skill. Dune vehicle rentals are available. The center region is for hikers and has access to both Lake Michigan and Silver Lake. The southern end is leased to Mac Woods Dune Rides. This is an easy way for people of all ages to enjoy the dunes close-up. Per local zoning you must sign a rental agreement and have it with you on property.
The cottage is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 4 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find a Smart TV with satellite channels. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and a kitchen island.

This was our second year in a row staying here over the 4th of July. It was perfect for us. The host is very communicative, and helped with anything we need. The view is beautiful every day. Directly across from the dunes. The house had everything we needed. Plenty of kitchen items to cook for and serve our group of 8. We love staying here.

8/10 Good

Liked: Check-in, communication, location
Disliked: Cleanliness
The location to town and activities was great. The lake is beautiful as well as the views. The fire pit area was literally on the neighbors lawn almost and could only accommodate 4 chairs comfortably. Frontage for the lake with the sea wall was minimal. We brought our corn hole game and had to set up on the deck as there was no lawn. The “Air conditioning”was 2 small wallUnits and a window unit that did nothing in the 85 degree heat. Lastly the property is literally on the main road so the noise from cars and trailers with their off road vehicles is loud and disruptive when sleeping or just sitting outside. We made the best of it and still enjoyed the stay.

Nice place, beautiful location

This was our 3rd stay at this property and the owner has been making steady improvements. We love this place as it’s right on the water, 4 bedrooms and a huge living room/kitchen/ dining area for all to enjoy. Nice dock and spot to connect the boat. Plenty of parking spaces and room for my boat trailer. Perfect location if you want to boat and enjoy the area.

Great Lakefront Home

This home was perfect for our 4th of July family vacation. Being right on Silver Lake was awesome. The home had everything we needed in the kitchen. Pots/pans/silverware/etc. Plenty of towels too. Owners were responsive, and very nice. We already booked for next year!

Fantastic View!!!

This is the best rental right on Silver Lake! Fun to watch the Mac Woods Dune buggies right across the lake. Great dock for enjoying the lake. Wonderful to have breakfast out on the deck. Lots of large windows and sliders for an unobstructed view. Very large place with plenty of room to spread out.

Amazing location and view, but unfinished

The house was great! Driveway had enough room for 3 cars and our pontoon. Everything was wonderful, the only odd part was the home being unfinished and still under construction. Other than that, everything was great.

Family vacay

We enjoy this property and the great set up, inside and out, for our family! It’s well maintained and close enough to town and the dunes without being in the noise of it all. It’s not a big deal at all, but we had a difficult time accessing anything on the TV. Wireless was fine, but no apps were installed. Normally we don’t watch TV on vacay, but the Olympics were on. A little direction sheet that includes how yo access network channels and perhaps some installed apps might help. This was small potatoes though and certainly not something that would hold us back from reserving again.

Labor Day weekend

Place was nice, no major issues. Check in was easy. Great spot on the lake. Very sandy bottom . Small front yard, but not a lot of places have a large yard. Nice open concept. The deck needs some upkeep but it seems like it’s being worked on. It was nice for a 3 day weekend.

Dirty property

We had a horrible experience with this property! When we arrived, there was a key in the door, walked in and there was a pair of men's shorts and underwear on the floor. No one was in the home. We contacted the owner, he said it was his dock guy installing a bouy in the lake that morning. There was also a horrible odor when we walked in which we believe was mold. It permeated throughout the house. Also, we found the house to be dirty. We spent two days cleaning. One of toilets was filthy. There wasn't a screen on the main sliding door and the screen in the bedroom was ripped. All in all, this was a costly rental and we were extremely upset and disappointed with the entire home during our stay. I would advise never to rent this home!!!
