traveler reviews for this traverse city house rental

Great stay!

GelEGuy (East Lansing, MI)
Review submitted: June 30, 2011   Date of arrival: June 17, 2011

Our family had a great one-week stay at this cottage on Silver Lake! Our eleven-month-old loved her first experiences swimming. The cottage itself is wonderful, with a *very* recently remodeled kitchen and bathroom, spacious living/dining area, and great screened-in back porch with a lovely view of the lake. The cottage itself was immaculately clean, with up-to-date appliances.

The cottage is about a 15-minute drive to downtown Traverse City, and it's also a relatively short drive up the Old Mission Peninsula or to Leelanau Peninsula, and to the Lake Michigan beach and dunes at Empire. We also did the longer drive up to Petoskey, which is well worth a day trip. If we had had sunny days all week, however, we probably would've spent most of them on Silver Lake at the cottage. The patio overlooking the water is an excellent place to relax.

The owners provide a lot of helpful information on the area, and they were very accommodating in letting us change the start and end dates of our week's vacation.

The primary downside of the property is that there really isn't much of a sandy beach to speak of. Many of the nearby properties do seem to have them, though, and it is a pretty short drive to sandy beaches in Traverse City. The bedrooms, while comfortable, are certainly not spacious, so I don't think the cottage could comfortable fit a large family, but it was more than adequate for our needs. Additionally, pets are not allowed. It's understandable that owners would like to avoid them--and this rule certainly contributes to the cottage's clean state--but it also would've been nice to have had our dog with us for the duration.

Gold on Silver Lake

Kevin (Grandville)
Review submitted: September 14, 2010   Date of arrival: September 4, 2010

Nice cottage with all you need to have a great vacation. Loved the lake and the availability of the two boats. This cottage has not only a beach area but a nice shaded yard that makes it a great family get away. Nice sized bedrooms and a large living area. Small bathroom but serves the purpose. This is a great location along the west side of Traverse City. Cottage is off Silver Lake road which leads into downtown with out the traffic of M-37. Owner was great to work with and prompt in answering questions and making arrangemnts for the rental. You can walk to the ball park or take a 30 minute drive in any direction and be at some great locations (bay, dunes, lighthouse or beeches). For eats ... don't miss Bubba's (Downtown), Boonnes (At Long Lake) or Sledders (off of M-37 just before the bay). If you are looking for a small quaint town to spend an afternoon, Charlevoix (about a 45 minute drive) is a must. Would recomend this property if you are looking for a value and the location.

Recommended for: age 55+, families with young children, families with teenagers, sight seeing, romantic getaway

We loved the cottage! It was furnished with everything we needed and the lake was lovely. Our teen aged kids played in the water and on the boats every day. The cottage was perfect for our needs.
