Schooner and Whoop-Ti-Do Cottages: Private Beach on Silver Lake!

***Premier Host on Vrbo** book with confidence!
This listing is to rent the 3 bedroom 2 bath Schooner cottage, and the 2 bedroom, 1 bath Whoop-Ti-Do cottage at the Duneview Resort. These cottages are on lake front property, feature Silver Lake views, and their own private beach. This is prime location in Silver Lake, Michigan, walking distance to Whippy Dip ice cream and a 2 minute drive to Lake Michigan and the lighthouse. Use our kayaks, paddleboard, or rent our pontoon boat!

These cottages have hundreds of 5 star reviews from their previous owners, and we are excited to keep providing that same experience after purchasing the Duneview resort in the fall of 2023.

The water in front of the Duneview resort has a shallow sandy bottom extending knee-deep for 200 feet – perfect for little ones to swim and play. There are breathtaking views of both the sunrise and sunset right from your own private beach..

Stay connected with complimentary WiFi throughout the entire property, and enjoy entertainment on flat screens in every bedroom and living room, all equipped with smart TVs and Roku. With air conditioning in each of the three cottages, your comfort is our priority.

Bedroom 3: 1 queen

Enjoy a large grass yard perfect for games, a basketball hoop for friendly competition, a fish cleaning station for your fresh catches, and fire pits to gather around in the evening.

Fantastic Family Vacation

The location couldn't be better! We enjoyed the fireworks on the dunes for on the 4th. Beds were comfortable, we enjoyed the water, sand, sun, and just being together. The owner is quick to respond to any questions and take care of any issue. We definitely recommend this vacation rental.
