    Last minute getaway to this cute and cozy cottage. The view was beautiful even in the winter and the hot tub and sauna was an extra bonus. Would love to stay in the summer and enjoy the lake but really enjoyed the peace and quite and the cottage being so relaxing and welcoming. Can't wait to go back!

    This was our second girls trip back to the cottage and we couldn’t have been happier. From the fully equipped kitchen with bright windows, to the cozy blankets, the cottage is inviting. The highlight for the group was sitting in the hot tub while the huge snowflakes were falling, just beautiful! The communication from the host was excellent as well, prior, during and after. Thanks for a great weekend!

    We stayed here for a bachelorette trip and had the best time! The space was clean, spacious, and had everything we needed for a fun and comfortable stay. The hosts truly went above and beyond for us, making the weekend even more special. The location was perfect, and communication was so easy. We couldn’t have picked a better spot to celebrate! Highly recommend!!

    Dan and Lisa were wonderful hosts and the space really felt like a slice of heaven. Our family enjoyed the beach, the sauna , the hot tub and trips into town for dinner and ice cream. I would recommend this home to anyone, any season of the year.

    We had a really nice stay at this property with our 3 children (ages 6, 8 and 11). We enjoyed the very large private beach, kayaks, hot tub and sauna and would definitely stay here again. We think a winter stay would be really nice! There are several decent restaurants near by and a bowling alley not too far, and the drive into downtown Traverse City is not bad either - about 20 minutes. Silver Lake is just beautiful and we loved exploring and swimming!Two minor issues we had that I wish would have been communicated: (1) even though there is a very large beach, there were very minimal sand toys at the property (I happened to throw ours in the van last minute and was very glad that I did!) and there were minimal swim floaties to use, just a few swim noodles (I almost threw our “river tubes” in the van but did not - and wish I would have), and (2) for a family of 5, we were only provided 5 beach towels for the entire week and there’s no laundry facility. I had not packed beach towels, but would have had I known. Just a few suggestions for guest communication so we can better plan what to pack to fully enjoy all of the amenities! But we loved the property and had a fabulous time! Highly recommend and would definitely stay here again!

    We enjoyed my birthday trip here. It's a beautiful property with a huge beach. It's a short, scenic drive to many small, cute towns and wineries. We would come back.

    The attention to detail is impressive. Such a cozy inviting cottage, from the views to the warm lighting and stocked kitchen, it was perfect. My girlfriends couldn’t stop saying how much they loved everything about it, so much that we never left throughout the weekend. Sitting in the hot tub & sauna in the snow definitely added to the experience. Highly recommended l!

    Amazing from top to bottom. Can’t say enough about how beautiful and peaceful this property is. We all had an amazing time, from my 90/83 year old parents to our teenage son and his two friends. Every detail was thought of and as advertised. I’m not sure there is a better piece of property on the entire lake.

    My family and I had the very best trip and absolutely loved this cottage! The amenities were plentiful and every detail was considered. We really loved the beach, kayaks, and paddle boards. The twinkle lights made coming home in the evenings feel like magic, and that deck was my favorite way to start each morning! We hope to return!
