vacation rental description

Beautiful beachfront home on Silver Lake with 135 ft. of private beach on shallow water cove.  Large outdoor deck on the back of the home is perfect for relaxing and enjoying the view of one of Michigan's most beautiful (all sports) lakes.  The home has it's very own pub overlooking the lake with access to the large back deck that leads to the beach. Three gas fireplaces in the home make for a cozy feeling (great for winter vacations!) and the balcony off the master bedroom is the perfect spot to watch the sunset over the lake. Only five miles from downtown Traverse City and close to the peninsula for great wine touring! The home is large with an open layout, so large groups never feel cramped.  A large full kitchen is perfect for large groups to cook in, which is a great money saver for long vacations.  Whether you are looking for a relaxing vacation on your own private beach or a fun get together with friends and family, this is a great choice for any vacation!

The house deserves a rating of 5 stars, but the beach & shallow water deserves 1 star. It was a great house with tons of room & very clean. We had 10 in our group & had a bedroom we never used as well as many unused futons so it can hold a lot more people very comfortably. It's a great house for large groups of friends to have a great time. The disappointing part was that we had 6 kids between the ages of 5-10 and we expected them to be able to play in the water & sand. The sand was ok after we racked it, but the water was unusable from the beach, not even from the end of the dock where you'd sink into 2 ft. of muck. If you had a boat you'd enjoy the lake away from the beach of this lot, but you can't enjoy the beach & shallow water along the sand because the lot is in a cove where all the muck floats to. This was disappointing for us & the kids, but it forced us to get out & see more of Traverse City & Sleeping Bear Dunes so it worked out for us in the long run.

Recommended for: adventure seekers, girls getaway, sight seeing

Owners response: In response to the review, as far as the lake water goes, as many know the midwest experienced quite a drought this year which severely affected the water levels of the lake. Earlier in the year, the water level was much higher and not nearly as murky, but as the drought became worse, the water level began to drop and the sand became much murkier. We also put in our description that we are in a shallow water cove, so we hope when people rent they realize that there is the chance that the water level will be low and it is not an ideal beach for swimming. We do rent a boat though that is perfect to take to the islands in Silver Lake to swim. We also appreciate the great comments on the home itself as lots of TLC was put into it! We tried our best to make the home very accommodating to large groups, so we are happy that you were pleased! We hope future renters will come to enjoy the large space in the cabin, beautiful beach views, and all that Traverse City has to offer!
