Thank you!
The house was very comfortable and the owner responded immediately when we had trouble setting the thermostat. We enjoyed our stay very much and were especially excited to see the deer frolicking around the property.

Great House in the Woods
This house is a great place for a relaxing vacation. Close to downtown Silver Lake but tucked nicely amongst the trees. Comfortable house with plenty of space, well furnished kitchen, and great outdoor space. The showers were great for getting the sand out of your hair and there were plenty of towels.

Perfect stay!
They house was clean and plenty of room. Couldn’t find a can opener so we bought a manual one and left it for everyone to use. My wife did say our next house rental better have a dishwasher! Lol the home owners live around the corner and made it nice and comfortable for any issues. Plenty of parking for a huge trailer and all the sand toys!

Quiet Location near Silver Lake
Very clean and cozy. Well equipped kitchen. Large yard. Ample parking. We wish the master bathroom had a divider between it and the bedroom. Also, 9AM check out was a bit difficult with 4 kids. Overall a great place, especially if you want to be out of the central area of Silver Lake.

Excellent place to stay while at Silver Lake
The property had plenty of room for 3 trucks pulling 3 trailers along with the 3 vehicles that were on the trailers. The house was clean and was nicely stocked (towels, kitchen utensils, spices, etc.). Two nice porches and a firepit allowed us to enjoy the outdoors. Nice lighting as well to enjoy the outdoors at night. I will be planning to visit again. Thank you.

Independence Day 2021
Independence Day Weekend 2021 was a blast!! Gary and his wife were thee best hosts we have had to date in the Silver Lake area. The house was very welcoming from the second we pulled in. Lots of parking, every kitchen item you could imagine, firewood was provided, awesome outdoor area that was completely lit by string lights around the wooded perimeter. The house was about 5 minutes from the dunes and 5 minutes from downtown. This place will be our new go to!!!
