Silver Lake Cottage with a beautiful view of silver lake and the dunes

The cottage is less than 1/4 mile from dune buggy entrance.

There is a beautiful view of Silver Lake and the dunes from the cottage. Right across the street is the public access where you can moor your boat and swim. At the end of the road, you can climb the dunes and walk to Lake Michigan. We ask that our guests bring their own sheets and towels. We have a picnic table and fire pit in the yard. Inside we have basic cable, coffee pot, microwave and dishes, pots, pans and silverware. Parking is limited, so if you have big trailers, please message us to see if you will fit. We also have air conditioning and WiFi.

Great cabin right by the dunes
This cabin is at a great location very close to the sand dunes. We were able to bring our dogs which was nice because we wouldn't have been able to take our annual trip to silver lake without being able to bring them. Looking forward to staying at this cabin again.

Two day get away
Overall a 5. Great view of the lake and sand dunes. We climbed the sand dune a short walk down the street, easy climb and breathtaking views. Very loud and busy corner but we enjoyed all the action. The only con is the corner bedroom mattress and the couch mattress were very uncomfortable.

Worth it
It’s a 1/4 mile from dune entrance with a view of the lake and dunes. The house was below my standards but ok. Furniture was worn out and uncomfortable. Beds were decent was a plus. Water tasted bad and sewer smell coming from the shower pretty bad. I took a shower, but my wife wouldn’t. Heater worked, but super loud so you couldn’t leave it on. For the price I would stay there again to be close to the dunes.

Nice Cabin and Close to the Action
Stayed only two night and overall, had a great weekend getaway. Cabin was comfortable and had all the amenities as listed. I would however, warn future renters of the tap water. It’s well water and has high levels of sulfur. Taking a shower smells like rotten eggs and is tough to get through. The cabin is also on a very busy road leading to the off-road sand dune area. If you’re coming with your Jeep for some off-road, it’s perfect! Otherwise, the roar of trucks and sand cars is pretty much non-stop from 8 am to 8 pm. I will say, the parade of machines is pretty neat.

Good for a small family, who don't mind constant noise and lack of privacy
The cottage itself is fine. It's small, but was enough for me and my dog. It could have been stocked a little better, but that wasn't my concern. I wanted a quiet place with access to the water where I can swim - didn't get any of those. The cottage is at the intersection with the ORV dune ride traffic. Engine revving, screeching tires, people shouting - the exact opposite of my idea of a quiet vacation. No privacy: the cottages are very close together in a semi-circle. Another big minus: no Wi-Fi. I probably just assumed it would be available, as it was in all the rentals before. Unfortunately, I had to work a little, and just watch streaming stuff. Had to install the T-Mobile signal booster and pair my laptop with my phone. But there is a limit of 5 Gb of data for this, so I had to get on the phone to solve that problem too. The lake looks nice, but too much traffic, so it's not really for swimmers. I had to drive a lot to other places to walk the trails in the parks with my dog. I couldn't swim in lake Michigan, as usual at this time, because, of course, the water temperature dropped to lower 50-s :/ (with my luck...&^%*$#*&)&*^*&^$!!!). Sitting by the fire pit after 10 pm was nice. I sound like a whining old witch, but that was just the wrong place for me. It's more for noisy and crowded fun-loving people. Thanks anyway. Check-in/check out was easy.

Silver Lake, Fall 2024.
We always have a freat time at Silver Lake. Overall cleanliness seemed ok compared to sleeping in a tent. Cabin could use some TLC. Located on a very busy corner.
