Great Location with Attentive Host

Our stay in Silver Lake did not disappoint! Ryan was a very attentive host and the house was perfect for our family. The access to the boat and the lake made for a relaxing getaway that didn’t feel rushed. The houses proximity to great food and treats was wonderful too. Would definitely recommend!

Check-in went well after we got the lock figured out and we unlocked the opportunity to make some amazing family memories! Host was attentive to anything that came up, the house worked perfectly for us, kitchen is well stocked with supplies and super helpful to have some items for smaller children. The screen porch is great for family game time and the deck looking out over the woods is so peaceful. The firepit was relaxing to use and the couch is great for napping after a day at the beach. The local activities are lots of fun too. The whole family would like to go back!
Took a walk to the top of the lighthouse - even the 3 & 4 year old made it!

Silver Lake 2024

My family and I stayed at Silver Lake in 2012 and had a great time. In 2024, we wanted to relive that experience, and our stay did not disappoint. We had a great time catching up, swimming, playing games, and having campfires—and that was just at the property! The area offers a lot of activities for the whole family to enjoy.

Memorial Weekend

Everything was perfect! We liked that the house was in a subdivision, but still had major privacy. Everything was super clean. The beds were all so comfortable. We walked to take the kids to the pool - it was really nice and had a slide. The bon fire at night was great! I would definitely plan a weekend again here in the future with the family!!

Dune Vacation

The location of this property is awesome! As the last house on the end of a cul de sac you get little to no traffic. The path to the swimming pool is directly to the left of the property and you are at the pool within a 10 minute walk. The swimming pool is great - very clean and has an amazing slide! The house is completely stocked with hand soap, dish soap, laundry soap and the owner provides a great start up kit with TP and paper towel. The rooms are comfortable and everything you need is available. The kitchen has enough pans, pots and dishes to prepare and eat meals. Communication with owner was easy and we had no issues during our stay. If I return to the dunes, I would book this property again!

Wonderful Vacation Spot for a Family

Loved this house and it’s location. Plenty of room for everyone (3 Adults and three kids, kids loved the bunk beds). Generous supply of necessities and kitchen appliances and utensils, even everything for the fire pit. Lovely setting with access to pool, rec room, etc. A/C went out but owner was quick to get repair attended to. Very nice vacation experience. If we came back to this area on a vacation, would definitely consider staying here again.

Perfect Silver Lakes stay

We had so much fun in Silver Lakes! This home is close to all of the activities in the area-sand dunes, beaches, lighthouses, restaurants (we loved The Chicken Shack), MacWoods, Whippy Dip ice cream, Craig's Cruisers, Lewis Adventure Farm, Country Dairy, many orchards and farms, Ludington and all it has to offer, wineries, the town of Hart, and the list goes on! It was a great family trip! I would highly recommend renting the boat if you plan to enjoy Silver Lake and the sand dunes, so much fun with kids. Take your boogie boards and sleds!

Quiet little cul de sac

Nice place. If you like your own quiet corner this place is great. Only downside was the driveway. If you have multiple cars you need to do a little dancing with the vehicles sometimes. It would not hinder me from renting this place again.

Overall we were pleased with our stay. The house worked well for our group. Each family had there own space and the one room worked well for the kids as well. Ryan was very helpful during the check-in. Location was good.. close to the lake and sand dunes. The community was very nice as well. We felt a few things could use some updating, however, it did not ruin our stay. The boat rental was a nice addition as well. We would recommend this house.

Our annual family vacation to the dunes with our adult children was perfect. The house had plenty of space for everyone, especially loved the downstairs living area that allowed some privacy for the young adults. The large dining table was great to share our meals and hang out. The location is close to everything. We enjoyed meeting Ryan who was so helpful. He takes great care to make sure everything is just right. There are just so many nice details to this home, we hope to be back again next year. Thanks for everything Ryan
