Sandy Beach Cottage on Silver Lake

Great location and very well done property

The beach house was perfect for our week-long stay. The internet was fast enough to be able to work from home. The lake is clean and great for swimming. We enjoyed all of the extras like the kayaks, paddle boards and tubes.

Loved our stay at this ideal cottage. Perfectly located, well equipped, thoughtful host touches. Great for our family of four!

Our stay here was top-notch! From the moment we arrived, we felt so welcomed. Lots of personal touches and you can tell they really care about making your stay the best it can be! Kitchen was fully stocked (I was actually surprised by how well stocked it was) and they provided everything you could need! Clean, quiet, and all around great- we really loved being able to relax on the water. We loved our stay at Ellen and Dave's place so much, we're already talking about when we can plan another trip! :)

From the moment we got to the house till we left, Dave and Ellen were the best hosts! They made sure our stay was enjoyable and we're so kind to let us know of a local baseball game that we took our kids too. The house was very clean and had everything you'd need. We brought our 2 young boys (6 & 2) and they absolutely loved all the toys in the house and the beach area. The kayaks and row boat were a plus, we were able to enjoy those often during our stay. My husband and son enjoyed fishing off the dock every morning cathing rock bass and blue gill. This truly is the best location. We would enjoy quiet days at the lake then in the evenings we would drive to downtown Traverse City to eat and go to the park (only a short 12 minute drive). Book it if it's available, your won't regret it! Thanks again Dave and Ellen for your hospitality

David and Ellen were the perfect host and set the perfect escape for family. From the moment we arrived we felt welcome and knew it was going to be a special stay. We were in town for our son's graduation and David and Ellen left him personalized signs congratulating him. There were even home cooked brownies for our 9 year old daughter. When we looked out the window to the perfect beach and lake view, we realized all the lake toys were included. The kids had a great time in the water and my wife and I enjoyed all the relaxing spaces created to sit and watch them. I highly recommend you treat yourself to a stay here. D-

We had a fantastic week at Sandy Beach Cottage! Dave and Ellen were exceptional hosts and have truly thought of everything when setting up their rental experience. The home is more than fully equipped! It was clean, comfortable, and easy to relax in. The location in relation to Traverse City was perfect. Not too close to deal with traffic, but close enough to go in to downtown for dinner, shopping, etc. We would highly recommend this property and these hosts!

We had a great stay. Dave and Ellen were fantastic hosts. Nothing but great things to stay about them and their cottage. You can tell they take great pride in keeping the house and their property spotless. We stayed for a week and divided our time between hanging out on Silver Lake and exploring Traverse City, Sleeping Bear Dunes, Glen Arbor, Crystal Lake and Frankfort, all of which are anywhere from 15 minutes to 40 minutes of the house.

Loved our stay! Clean and cute cottage, friendly owners. The cottage had everything we needed, including a fully equipped kitchen, towels, etc, plus lots of games and toys for the kids. Silver Lake is always clean and warm

What a beautiful and clean home with everything you could need. The views were magnificent and the amenities were above expectations. It’s a must book for future families.
