Nice home!
This is a nice home that is accurately described on the listing. The weather didnt cooperate during our stay so we were extra thankful for the pool table, ping pong, etc. My only suggestion to the owner is that they have some bedside lights or even a small lamp by the bedside to accomodate reading a book while in bed. Other than that, all was great. I would bet this house is pretty awesome in the summer!

This place is absolutely phenomenal! I can’t tell if I was more blown away with the interior or the view. Extremely clean upon arrival. We had an absolute blast, we didn’t even want to leave! I would say my only reservation is the size of the beds, but we made it work!

Beautiful House
This house was exactly as pictured. We had our first (hopefully not last) family vacation. Everyone had so much fun!! The young kids played in the lake all day. We rented the boat for the week and that made the week extra special. The hosts we very easy to get a hold of and very responsive. We would certainly stay there again.

Great week on Silver Lake
Our extended family (10 people ages 4-70) had a wonderful stay at this rental property! It is absolutely beautiful, pictures do not do it justice, and very well maintained. The owners were very welcoming and responded quickly to every question. They even reached out after a storm passed through the area to check on us! Wonderful amenities, from the hot tub to the kayaks, paddleboards, and pontoon to rent, everything was in great shape and we enjoyed it all.

The house and location on the lake is exactly as pictured on the web site… absolutely exquisite! We could not have been more pleased with the accommodations. Admittedly, it is a rather pricey stay but it truly is a beautiful home on a gorgeous lake with a dock , so you get what you paid for. We were all extremely happy with our choice.

Great Property - lots of rules
I’d recommend this place to anyone considering it. We were not informed that half of the downstairs patio would not be in use - there’s wood all over the open floor. There’s plenty of space. We didn’t stay long enough to enjoy the kayaks or paddle boards but we appreciated them being there. There’s more rules than any other place I’ve ever stayed. Very strict on check in and check out, in addition to rules on doing all laundry, have to clean all dishes, etc. For how much we paid, the rules on cleaning and other rules seemed extremely extra.

Perfect Lake House Family Vacation
We found this property at the last minute after searching for weeks for a lake house for a summer getaway. The house exceeded our expectations and was perfect in every way. The lake is beautiful and we enjoyed watching sunsets from the deck and the pier. The local farmers markets were amazing. The house is close to Traverse City, to many great hiking trails, and everything the Upper Peninsula has to offer. We didn’t want to leave!
