Corner Cottage **Very clean/Loaded with extras/Beautiful ** in Silver Lake

Available year round... call for off season pricing.  Corner Cottage is a exceptional place to get away anytime of the year!

Let us pamper you in our vacation home!

Located in the popular Floradale Association, this 2-story, 4 bedroom, 2 1/2 bath home is well suited for single family or multi-family use.  A loft area upstairs is a unique feature that offers another place in the cottage where people can sit and talk, play games, watch tv, or sleep.

Corner Cottage is located in one of the most private areas in Floradale - on a corner with woods in the backyard, a large front yard, and a vacant lot on the side.  There is plenty of parking available for cars, trailers, dune vehicles, etc. Behind the woods is an easily accessible 2-track seasonal road. Wonderful for a relaxing walk.   

While the summer months are especially beautiful and full of activity, Corner Cottage is available for rent year round. Consider spending your off-season vacation enjoying the spectacular fall colors, skiing, snowmobiling, or simply relaxing by the fireplace with a great book.

Silver Lake is a great lake for kids. It has a sandy bottom and stays shallow for quite a ways on the Floradale Assoc. beach side of the lake. On the dunes side, the bottom drops off sharply which allows for easy access by boat and great swimming right next to the shore.

Silver Lake water conditions can range from completely still to white caps.  This allows for many activities: fishing, sailing, boating, skiing, windsurfing, swimming, tubing, etc...

Please, no smoking in the cottage or on the porches.

Please, no pets without prior written permission.
