The Beech House gets its name from the large beech tree stump by the cottage (sadly used to be the whole tree) - plus you will find 'BEACH' here. Silver Lake is an amazing place to vacation - endless fun, activities galore, and the incredible Silver Lake Sand Dunes and Lake Michigan beaches to explore. This property has been in our family for 40 years and we added it to our rental listings in the past 10 years.

We have strict cleaning protocols for your sanitizing assurance between rentals. Guests bring their own bed sheets/pillowcases and bath towels. All mattress pads, pillow case protectors, bed spreads, bath floor mats, bath hand towels, door rugs, kitchen towels are replaced between each stay.

The cottage has AIR CONDITIONING! We are happy to make you more comfortable on those hot summer nights.

This cottage has a large great room, open to the fully-remodeled kitchen and to a large deck. The deck has a view of Hunter's Creek and a peaceful wooded lot. There are steps/decking down to the dock - bring your pole and cast a line. The creek has direct access to Silver Lake, suitable for smaller boats, kayaks, canoes and wave runners. Our guests really enjoy exploring the creek and navigating out to Silver Lake. During your stay you also have use of the association pool, playground and picnic area just down our street. We have pool/beach toys in the shed - help yourself!

There are 3 bedrooms, equipped with a queen size bed in two of them and full size bed in the third. We have two new couches in the great room. The bathroom has a tub/shower combo. The great room is very open and perfect for socializing (6 persons at the table, 3 seats at the bar and more on the deck at the picnic table). The kitchen is fully equipped with stove, fridge, microwave, coffee maker, toaster - the works! We fully remodeled the kitchen in 2023. We aim to please the 'foodie' in you!

To make your stay more relaxing, we have loaded the book case with beach reads and books for the kids. There is also a toy bin and plenty of board games. We have a smart TV with ROKU, Xbox console/games and wireless fiber internet.

Outside there is a gas BBQ grill, deck furniture and fire pit. We have a long driveway that can accommodate your trailer with all the 'toys' and additional parking spots along the road. Be sure to check with us to make sure we can accommodate your parking needs.

This location is within walking distance to everything - you can be close to all the fun, but enjoy privacy & quiet. The kids can ride their bikes safely on our paved cul-de-sac street. Just a short walk away are go-karts/arcade, bumper cars/boats, miniature golf at Craig's Cruisers, shopping at Dunetown Mall, Ice Cream, restaurants, any type of water craft rental at the Wave Club, Jeep/Quad/Buggy rentals. Or, hop on your bike or lace up your running shoes and cruise the paved pedestrian path around the entire lake. A ride out to the tallest lighthouse on Lake Michigan, Little Sable Point, to catch an evening sunset is a must-do on your vacation bucket list. The Lighthouse is open for tours during summer weekends.

Come for the fun - return for generations!

    Stayed with my 3 boys and our dog for the week. We arrived to a cozy cabin with a s’mores welcome gift! The cabin had everything we could have needed and then some. The location was perfect and within walking distance from all kinds of activities. Tammy was a great host and super helpful. Will definitely be back. Don’t hesitate, book your stay today!

    We enjoyed our stay so much! The cabin is in a great location and we loved the backyard and dock on the channel each morning. Tammy is a great host and the cabin was super clean, and she even dropped off a fresh bouquet of flowers for the picnic table…my wife loved them!Thanks again for letting my family enjoy your place and we are already looking forward to next year.

    The cottage was clean & well stocked with essential items such as soap, paper products, kitchen utensils, linens & towels. Many activities were just a short walk away which is great for families with teens who want a little independence. Neighborhood was surprisingly quiet. We appreciate a rental that allows us to bring our small dog. Would definitely book again.

    The property is wonderful! A great spot to walk to the center of town. Comfy new furniture (compared to last year) in the living room. Fast wifi (needed with minimal cell signal). Just a lovely cottage that feels like you're in the tree tops. Add on truly exceptional and thoughtful hosts, what more can you ask for! We've stayed here twice (can't wait for the next trip) and a 3rd trip in another property with this host. Truly love the area, the cottage and the hosts.

    We enjoyed our holiday weekend at this rental and loved the proximity to town as well as the river behind the house. We walked into town a couple times and were plenty close to the dunes as well. The house was clean and had everything we needed!

    This property is amazing! Hidden gem. Close to everything that we could walk but secluded so that it was still so peaceful. Perfect up north get away. The hosts are exceptional. This is the 2nd time we've stayed with them and we will definitely be back. Everything was clean and wonderful when we arrived. Even had toys in the house for kids which our little was very excited about. Plenty of space for our family. It was great having a park available for children. The pool has some strange hours which I didn't expect but honestly we came for the lakes anyway. Listing information is very accurate. Internet was fast. I'm thinking multiple weeks in the future and I'll work remote for one of them. Very much felt like a tree house which was so relaxing. The creek is pretty but small, shallow and steep to get down to so keep in mind depending on the mobility of those in your party. This place was honestly the best.

    This cabin is wonderful. The main living area is very open and easily accommodated our group of 7. The deck is large and a beautiful outdoor space. We have already rebooked for our week at the lake next year.

    The property was very clean and has everything you could need. Living area is very spacious and is perfect for game and movie nights. The deck is really nice and there is a firepit for campfires. The kitchen is well stocked and great for making family meals. The property is close enough to walk to town, the pool, and the playground. We would definitely stay here again. It was a beautiful area.
