Fall family getaway
Nice spot for a fall weekend getaway with kids! The house was clean, comfortable, and as advertised. The location was convenient to the sand dunes, making it easy to enjoy some outdoor fun and adventure with the family. Highly recommend for anyone looking to relax and explore!

perfect for getting over to the dunes
Place is great, woke up in the morning looking at the little inland lake. Kitchen has a lot of things so that you can cook your own food with ease. Do pay attention to the fact that they tell you about the winding staircase inside, it’s a bit narrow. We had our larger service dog with us, and he would not go up and down the stairs inside. But easily remedied!! It is easy to access both floors with large sliding doors that are on the lake side of the house (great views) . We stayed in the fall and really enjoyed the non traditional layout on two floor. We used upstairs for eating and hanging out, and night time downstairs. Full baths on both floors, jack and Jill bathrooms between the 2 bedrooms up, and 2 bedrooms down. The driveway is also long, so you felt a little tucked away, and cozy.

Nice getaway
We drive from Indiana with our baby, 5 year old, and dog. The lake was really calming and beautiful and the neighbors who stayed next to us were really friendly. Tons to do for kids around the area and really thoughtful touches to the property. There was a pack and play, games, several kid/baby utensils, and more than enough room for all of us. The only thing was that the spiral staircase was hard to use with a baby. We simply went outside and used the hill and it was fine. Would recommend!

First time in silver lake and this home was ideal. Very clean and well maintained and has everything you need away from home. Restaurants, attractions, dunes and beaches within short driving distance's. We would definitely stay here again.

Enjoyable
We had 10 adults for the weekend. The house was exactly what we needed and everyone enjoyed it. Only thing I would warn about is for those of you who have Jeeps and keep your top down, there seems to be a sprinkler system. We woke up to the back of our jeep wet. Not a big deal as a quick wipe down fixed it. Overall we will be back.

Terrific lake-front property!
We have stayed at many vacation rental properties over the years and this was one of the best! The host, Whitney, was so very helpful! She responded quickly to any questions or needs throughout the booking process and stay. The property is beautiful, newly remodeled lake-front with awesome view and is very well equipped for guests' needs in every way. They even had firewood all ready in the fire pit for evening smores and roasted marshmallows! Also, it is less than 10 minutes from all local activities, including the Dunes, Craig's Cruisers, Mac Wood Dune Rides, grocery store, restaurants, beaches, etc. There were 8 of us, including ourselves (grandparents), our son and dil and our 4 grandchildren (teens and young adults) and we had plenty of room. Plenty of room for trailers and quads if you've come to ride the dunes. Highly recommended. We'll be back...

Dune trip weekend
We stayed here on our Dune trip and loved the cottage. It fit 8 people no problem as well as 3 trucks w/trailers and 1 smaller car. Communication with the host was great, the view of the lake as well as the upper deck made the trip perfect for unwinding during the evenings after being on the dunes all day. 10/10 will stay here again on our next trip -Jake
