Beautiful!

Loved it! It was a quiet neighborhood, great view of the lake and absolutely stunning sunrise. The location was close to parks, a variety of restaurants and shopping. The host was very friendly and always quick to respond when I reached out. Would definitely recommend and would stay again.

Stayed for a few days, in from Texas.

Check in was a breeze. Property was as billed from ads. We arrived around Thanksgiving, it began to snow and the views were made even more spectacular. Would rent again and recommend to those looking for something cozy on the water or anything Traverse City

Family Vacation

We had a great time at Silver lake. The dock and beach access were wonderful! Our family loved it. The house had everything we needed for a lovely home away from home. We have two little kids, so we didn't need a lot of space. It might be a tight squeeze with more then 2 adults. It was clean and well maintained.

Nice clean small cottage on quiet lake.

Comfortable. Clean. Trundle in second bedroom not really comfortable for adult. Wonder if regular size bed would fit in there- but, it was OK.

Cozy Cottage with Amazing View

My friends and I had the best stay at the cottage; it was perfect for a weekend in Traverse City! The host, Katie, was very helpful and attentive and we had no issues with anything during our stay. The cottage was very clean and provided a cozy atmosphere for fall in TC. The view of the lake was beautiful; we enjoyed watching the sunrise through the windows each morning. Would definitely book again!

Nice small cottage

The property was exactly as advertised. The cottage is very small, but nicely updated inside. The water frontage and docking are very nice and the lake bottom is sandy. Our stay was excellent and Katie was a very responsive host whenever we needed anything. Recommend putting some more storage in the bathroom for toiletries.
