We purchased this cottage in 2013 and have enjoyed spending our family vacations here - making memories that we will cherish for many years. We've also enjoyed meeting new people as each summer season passes. Thanks for considering our cottage!
What makes this cottage unique
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.

Exceptional!

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!
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.
Wonderful family getaway!
The property is wonderful and comfortable. When we arrived I started thinking of when we can arrange to come back again. Everything was provided as stated and then some. We have three children and the fit comfortably in one room on the spacious bunk bed that has an additional pull out bed. The kids loved going in the water with the paddle boat and kayaks....even though it was freezing. The view on onto the lake on a clear day and night is fantastic! We ate our meals on the deck near the water and enjoyed the grill provided.
The weather was great and very close to downtown Traverse City. Lori the owner was available and responded with any questions right away and was always attentive to our needs. I would recommend this cozy spot for all. We will be back for sure!
Beautiful setting, lovely cottage, great location!
This cottage was completely perfect for our family! Literally everything was provided except for bath towels. You have everything you need to cook your meals - pots, pans, knives, cutting board, etc. You can tell that the owner takes great pride in their property and also that they want their guests to feel completely at home. There are so many extras like a ton of board games, movies, horseshoes outside, sand shovels, balls, and toys for the kids to play with. We even made use of the little playground in the complex. It is only 10-15 min from downtown Traverse City so we were easily able to check it out everyday. We hope to return again this fall as I think this really is the perfect vacation cottage! Oh and the view is amazing! We ate outside in the gazebo every night but you can also enjoy the view from the living room as well.
Another great stay!
We have rented here for a few years and keep coming back. The sunsets are amazing, the beach is sandy and the cove is fairly shallow so it makes for a great place for kids to swim. We rented a pontoon boat this year and the drop off is just around the corner, easily walking distance. Very close to conviences such as grocery stores, dining and shopping.
