    That was a much needed peaceful weekend. Love the beach and lake access. Will definitely look to possibly rent this property again. Thank you!

    House was as expected & we had very clear directions from the owner. The location was perfect, close enough to Silver Lake but away from the crowd. Using the kayaks and fishing rods was a fun family experience. My only caution is use of firepit may drive bugs into the bedrooms, since they are close by and use window a/c units.

    We had such a an AMAZING time at this cute little cottage! There were 9 of us total. 3 kids and 6 adults and it was a little tight because we didn't use the top bunks of the beds for the little ones but we figured it out and all was well! I really can't say enough about the location too! Being right on the canal gave us the opportunity to safely be outside , play in the beach and comfortably use the kayaks and paddle boards provided . The kids also loved that there were 2 fishing poles in the front closet so we got some works and they were pulling out blue gill left and right! We released all of course. This little home just really helped us create so many family memories that none of us will ever forget. Thank you so much ! We will definitely be renting again along with hopefully their neighboring property as well!! So much love from the Balcom family!

    We had a great long weekend! The owners were very helpful and responsive before our visit. The house was perfect for our family and it was located on a very quiet part of the lake. The kayaks were a great addition and fun for everyone!

    We had a great time! The cottage is set up nicely and has everything you need. Clean and well equipped. We are very responsible pet owners and were glad to be able to bring Gibbs ... it is nice to find people who rent nice cottages to dog owners and realize that most of the time, it is their owners who need to be watched! This was a perfect location to our home away from home ... and parking was fantastic for truck and sand rail. We hope you will rent to us again soon!! Thanks for sharing your home.

    It’s was everything that the listing said! Great little cottage that’s dog friendly with wood floors. Only negative is sharing beach / dock with neighboring cottage.

    We had an awesome time at this property. The listing is very accurate as described. We traveled with 3 adults and 2 kids, plus our dogs. It was very family & pet friendly. Great times all around. We spent a lot of time out on the deck or at the dock. The kayaks and paddle boards were a huge hit. What a fun way to soak up the beauty of the lake. Very convenient location for our interests. The shared dock worked out well for our needs. The neighbors that were there during our stay had children as well, so they got to play together a bit. The kids enjoyed that! There was no one staying in the other house for the second half of our stay, so having the beach/dock all to ourselves was a nice treat. The owners were really communicative, helpful, and kind. Overall, highly recommend.

    We enjoyed our stay very much. Clean and homey! The kitchen has everything you may need to cook and eat off of. The kids enjoyed fishing right outside the home. Close to the dunes etc. Would stay here again!

    We had a great time! The cottage was very cute and directly on the water. Having the paddle boards & kayaks on site was a huge plus! We go to the dunes at least once a year but have never stayed on upper silver lake. We definitely will again. The owners were very nice and very quick to respond. The cottage had everything we needed!
