The kitchen is bright and cheery with quality appliances, including a Jenn-Aire gas range with electric/convection oven. It is well stocked with all the pots and pans you will need, including a coffee pot. The dining area has a beautiful handmade hickory table with leaves to accommodate up to eight and a great view of the lake. In the living room is a Vermont Castings gas stove with a glass front for those evenings when you want to sit by the fire.
The cabin, with its original logs and chinking throughout, sleeps up to nine people. The sleeping arrangements are: a queen-size bed in one room, queen-size bed in the second room, twin bunk beds in the bunk room facing the lake along with a twin sleeper sofa, and a queen sleeper sofa in the living room. All linens and towels are provided.
For the angler, enjoy good fishing. Bass, bluegill, perch, pike, sunfish, and walleye. We provide an aluminum boat with oars, or you may bring your own. There is a lakeside deck with patio furniture and a charcoal grill for outdoor eating where you can enjoy the spectacular sunsets after dinner. Enjoy the sandy beach and firepit. Firewood is available at several roadside stands or the nearby campground.
We offer a beautiful new pontoon boat for rent, be sure and reserve it. Our guests receive the boat at substantial discounts from the regular local rates.
We know you will enjoy your stay in what we like to call "our little treasure."

Map & Owner's Profile
Authentic Log Cabin on Beautiful Silver Lake Traverse City
Year Purchased: 2000
Why the Owner Chose Traverse City
As a native of Traverse City, I grew up enjoying the lakes around the area. I was thrilled when Kurt and I had the chance to buy this log cabin. We worked hard to update it by adding modern amenities without losing the character and charm and that "up-north" feel. It is close to downtown Traverse City, yet you feel like you are away from it all. Traverse City offers such a great quality of life along with many wonderful local shops and restaurants to enjoy.
The Unique Benefits at this Cabin, Log Home
Our favorite thing to do during our stay at the cabin is pack up a picnic lunch and take a cruise around the lake on the pontoon boat. With the boat conveniently docked at the private sandy beach, there is little effort to enjoying the beauty of Silver Lake. This pristine, all sports lake, is the closest lake to Traverse City with easy access to everything. Our evenings usually consist of cooking some delicious steaks from our family market, Burritt's Fresh Market, watching the fabulous sunset and ending the evening with a campfire next to the lake while listening to the frogs and loons. Life doesn't get any better than that!
Owner's Map of Traverse City
We love to travel and have done so extensively with our two children. We have logged over 20,000 miles in our RV while taking our children to all fifty states. Even though we now spend most of our time in Celebration Florida, Traverse City is still considered one of the most beautiful places in the country in our book. We always look forward to spending time at the cabin because it is such a cozy and peaceful place.
