    The lakeside cottage was adorable and the colors in the fall were great. The hosts were very prompt in communicating.

    My husband and I stayed here in January for two days! It was cold and snowy and this cottage was perfect for the cozy evenings inside! Plus it was the perfect size for just the two of us! Very clean and had all the amenities we needed! Awesome view of the lake and a close drive to downtown Traverse City! We would definitely stay here again! The host had great communication and was friendly!

    Cozy, clean and comfy cottage. We had a great stay. Right on the lake. The views are breathtaking. We did a lot of kayaking, paddle boarding and fishing.Wish the cottage had a water softener though. Also, would be nice to have sharper knives or a knife sharpener, and a grill cleaning brush. Other than that, the place is fully stocked.

    Cottage is extremely nice, clean, easy to find. Nice deck to sit out on with beautiful view of the lake. Perfect amenities. Beds not super comfortable but we were only there 2 nights. Host was amazing with communication. Would definitely stay there again.

    Loved it! It was a quiet neighborhood, great view of the lake and absolutely stunning sunrise. The location was close to parks, a variety of restaurants and shopping. The host was very friendly and always quick to respond when I reached out. Would definitely recommend and would stay again.

    Check in was a breeze. Property was as billed from ads. We arrived around Thanksgiving, it began to snow and the views were made even more spectacular. Would rent again and recommend to those looking for something cozy on the water or anything Traverse City

    Especailly summer, replace the shower head, and I’d give it 5. Put in a water softener and it would be off the charts Great place to stay

    We had a great time at Silver lake. The dock and beach access were wonderful! Our family loved it. The house had everything we needed for a lovely home away from home. We have two little kids, so we didn't need a lot of space. It might be a tight squeeze with more then 2 adults. It was clean and well maintained.
