The water slowly gets deep - making it a safe place for little ones to play. Silver Lake is an all-sports lake that is also located closely to all the that Traverse City area has to offer - miles of paved bike trails, Sleeping Bear Sand dunes, wineries and breweries, many summer festivals and great restaurants.

Peaceful Lake Front Cottage
We came to Michigan to enjoy the fall colors. The Adorable Silver Lake Cottage was a quiet peaceful place to spend our evenings and has easy access to main roads that took us out into the country side to enjoy the beautiful fall leaves during the day.
Thanks Lori for allowing us to stay in your cute little cottage!

You are welcome! Thank you for choosing our cottage 😊
Everything was wonderful besides the beds were too hard. Great place for good quiet time.
My experience at this cottage very good. The cottage is positioned right by the lake. The fire pit was nice to see, and there was plenty of wood to burn. We never got a chance to use the boats even though they were available, it was too windy and cold.The cottage was stocked with multiple cooking accessories and other supplies. Also, the neighbors were friendly and they have a wonderful dog. We will return to this cottage again soon.
Beautiful cozy cottage, perfect location.
My wife and I decided to have a long weekend getaway. The cottage is right on the lake, it has awesome views of the sunset. The grounds are well kept, the gazebo overviews the whole lake, so it was nice enjoying a drink or a meal right at sunset. The downtown TC was only 10-12 minutes away so it was fine for us. The cottage itself had everything we need it, and it felt cozy and comfortable. I would like to come back here again with family so we can all enjoy a nice relaxing weekend.
Thank you so much for your kind review! It was a pleasure to have you stay at our cottage.
Thank you!

Everything you'd want for vacation at the lake!
We have spent a "girls' weekend" on a northern Michigan lake every summer for 20 years. This was the best place we have rent! It matched all of our requirements: Cottage was right on the lake so we could open the curtains and see the water each morning and watch the lake turn to glass in the evenings. There was a sandy beach to plop our beach chairs next to the water and the lake was sandy and clear for wading and floating. There was also a brick patio area with very nice lounge chairs if you preferred sitting close but not on the beach. The large gazebo was perfect for sitting out of the sun and enjoying a cup of coffee or lunch while meeting folks from other cabins there. We got a couple tips for exceptional restaurants from talking with others at the gazebo and bon fire pit.
It is beautiful and tranquil yet located only 10 minutes from downtown T.C., salons, shopping center and groceries. Close to other attractions for great day trips, including kayaking or climbing the dunes.
The cottage itself was clean and cozy. It had everything we needed (except bath towels- you provide your own). There are even racks in the bedrooms for your suit cases. The shower was great! We are making reservations for next year!
Thank you so much for your kind words! We love to hear that you enjoyed your vacation and the property. Looking forward to your staying again next year 😊�
Exactly as advertised!! Great cottage and great location!!
We enjoyed the beach and lake especially the views. It had everything we needed to be comfortable and feel at home. Hope to return soon!!
Silver Lake Stay
This is the perfect cottage. Lori has thought of everything, we were pleasantly surprised. I was impressed by how well kept everything was. The fireplace was very welcoming and warmed us up because it was quite chilly the weekend we were here. The only down fall was the lawn service arrived and cut around the cottage twice which was really unnecessary which disturbed our peaceful (early) evening. All in all a great place.
Thanks Lori we enjoyed our stay, just wish we could have stayed longer.
Map
The cottage is 10 minutes from downtown Traverse City, TART Trails and close to the public boat launch. It is located close to grocery stores, restaurants, parks and coffee shops. Don't forget to schedule a winery tour or a bike ride on our many miles of paved bike trails.
