Silver Creek Cottage near the dunes and beaches

Great location for all things Silver Lake. If you love exploring the dunes, sunsets on Lake Michigan, and kayaking this is the spot for you!
Quaint 960 sq ft ranch style cottage with a great open feel along with a spacious private fully fenced backyard. Lake Michigan is only 1.5 miles away and there is channel access about 400 feet away at the end of Channel Lane along with Silver Lake access points not far away. 30 miles north is Ludington and Muskegon is 40 miles south.
Make this your Silver Lake get away!

Please note: This home was built in the 70’s. It is not perfect and has some quirks. It is in the process of being updated.
This home does not have central air. A window AC is available along with two fans.
Please treat my home with respect.
The cottage is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find a TV with a DVD player. The cottage also includes a washing machine.

The cottage was perfect for our weekend trip. It was a great location. The beds were comfortable and the cottage was clean. We were there to sleep and shower, but if we were going to be staying longer or stayed around the cottage more it still would have been great! We would definitely stay here again!

Excellent location if you want to hit the dunes!

Close to all of the activities you would want to check out and just a short drive to the dune entrance if you have toys to ride on the dunes!

Property was clean and house stayed cool. Beds were comfortable and we liked the open layout. The host had several items available if you forgot your own, such as hygiene products, camp chairs, etc. we didn’t need them but it was a nice touch.

We arrived at the cottage, used the lock box for entry. Instructions were pretty simple, however the lock box just needed a little love and patience. The cottage looks better than pictured. There were extra towels, linen and cleaning products. The beds were comfortable. The couches were a bit of an eye sore but that was minor compared to the location, price and amazing customer service. I would definitely book again. I met the cleaning ladies on my way out held a brief conversation and everyone is sweet as pie! If you need a hug from life, go here! Absolutely no complaints from my picky kids and that’s rare!

If it had been cheaper, we wouldn’t have felt as bad. But it was the highest priced of the three VRBOs we stayed at, and definitely the shabbiest. There was a bit of grittiness on the floor and a few clumps of hair. No place to put the fan so it could help cool. No place to put luggage. No bed side lamps, meaning we had to get out of bed to turn off lights.
