Always a great time!

Cabin is just what you need for sleeping, fires, lakeview, and for being close to the Dunes. This was our 3rd time staying here and won't be our last. Thanks for sharing your cottage with us ... see you next year! ..

Super close to Silver lake sand dunes!

We stayed for 3 nights and 4 days! Its a cute little cottage that has pretty much everything you might need. The kitchen was well stocked with untenils and cook ware. The location is wonderful. So close to the sand dunes and very close to downtown. Walk across the street and there is a public boat launch for Silver lake. Has a fire pit in the front yard!

Great place!

This little lake cottage was perfect for our stay! Beautiful view of the lake and dunes from large windows and outdoor area. Picnic table, fire ring, and camp chairs make time outdoors easy & enjoyable. As the description says-ask about trailers because parking is a little tight but we fit with an F150 & 16ft and the neighbors had 2 full size SUVs. One of the bedrooms does not have an outlet so recommend a long cord or battery pack for overnight charging. We didn’t use the grill but it’s available along with full size frig & freezer. Everything was very clean. We had a little trouble with the door key and Lynn was there quickly to assist. You’re within walking distance to pedestrian dunes, ORV lot, Duneland, and Silverback. If you’re looking for a quaint place with a retro vibe…this is it!

Nice cottage except for the bedrooms

Location was great, and view was amazing. Cute little cottage for the most part. The only disappointing thing about the cottage was the 2 bedrooms. The rooms are VERY small, especially with a queen size bed in them -- there is barely any space on either side of the bed. No nightstand (had to bring a small end table from the living room so I had a place to put my glasses, phone, and water bottle). Not a single electrical outlet in 1 bedroom, and only one outlet in the other. Luckily, I had a battery power bank for charging my phone overnight. Beds were the worst I've ever slept in from a comfort standpoint. Sagged ih the middle, and no support.

Partial view of lake and access across road. Nice to watch dune vehicles go by, noisy weekend days, silence at night and for early morning walk.
