Mercedes was a great host! Very responsive and the house had everything we needed for a long weekend stay. We cooked in a few nights and pans, utensils, Tupperware, etc was all there. The living room and kitchen area was great, we had plenty of room with a big group and never felt crowded. The lake is beautiful, and location was great. We would definitely book again!

We had three couples staying and the bedroom set up and bathrooms worked quite well for us. Kitchen had everything we needed and on rainy days, we were all very comfortable in the great room to hang out and socialize. The dock and fire pit were good for the nice days. There is a concrete sidewalk leading to the dock that the slight downhill approach could be a little tricky. A handrail along the walkway would be a good addition.

Mercedes,Everyone loved your home and we were able to use all couches and bedrooms to provide restful sleep for everyone. The wall of glass on the main floor provides exceptional views of the lake. Your home is well equipped in every way - linens, towels, dishware, cooking and eating utensils, etc. Really a grand place. You could actually embellish your listing with a bit more detail such as the fire pit and wood supply, hammock, life preservers, gas grill, corn hole, etc. And all that we needed for s'more was a hit. So thank you very much. Ed Ekis

We had a such a wonderful stay at this house. We had a family vacation and the house was perfect for the 10 of us. The house was very clean and well-stocked. It was great to have a kitchen, multiple bedrooms, multiple bathrooms, and a washer/dryer on both floors. The house had everything needed for a week at the lake, including kayaks, life vests, fishing poles, sand toys and plenty of beach chairs. The complimentary s’more ingredients were enjoyed by everyone. Overall a super vacation week with many great memories.

PERFECT - lake house with EVERYTHING

This home on Silver Lake is perfect. We were a family of 6 adults and 2 youngsters and we had room to spare! It is amazingly appointed and could not have a better location and lake access. It is the rare case where the house and everything is BETTER than the pictures! Mercedes the host was so accommodating and enabled our 1 year old and 5 year old to have everything they needed including life preservers, high chairs etc! The beach and dock's and kayaks made every day fun. The afternoon shade at the water edge makes it great for those hotter days. I can not imagine anyone having anything but the best vacation ever at this home.

Family Lake Vacation

Overall the stay was great. The home is set up nicely for large groups with 2 full baths and a kitchen on each level. We were disappointed in the yard space on the lakeside of the house. It really slopes down to the lake so it wasn’t great for small children. I hope that at some point an investment would be made to add a deck/balcony off the lakeside of the home.

Great family vacation

We stayed at this property with extended family, including young children. The host was extremely responsive to requests. For example, we asked if children's life jackets were available at the house. They were not, so the host purchased the life jackets and had them waiting for us to use during our stay. The host also arranged for a high chair and pack n play, and came to the house on short notice to put delivered groceries away after our flight was delayed. The house itself was great for our large group. Everything was very clean and kitchen well-stocked. Ample firewood was provided for the large fire pit. The private dock was very convenient, and we rented a pontoon boat (through a separate company) to use during our stay. It was only about 15 minutes to both the airport and downtown area. We would return and definitely recommend!

The best spot in TC

We had an incredible stay on the lake and I can't say enough great things about our experience! Comfortably fit a group of 10 adults. The amenities (grill, fire pit, dock and lake access, outdoor tables, double kitchens/laundry rooms) were excellent, and all communications with the hostess were speedy and smooth. Great view of the Silver Lake July 4th fireworks from the dock!
