What a delightful home in the woods! We spent the weekend with family to celebrate the life of our mother/grandmother who was laid to rest in the family cemetery nearby. Having grown up at Silver Lake, we all had fond memories to share as we reminisced. This house was perfect for me, my two sisters, and most of our families. With plenty of space for privacy, the weekend turned out even better than expected. Thank you to the kind and gracious owners!

A beautiful home that sits in a cul de sac, that was perfect for our extended family trip! We had a wonderful time, plenty of room for everyone and a short walk to the pool and pickleball court. The upstairs loft and bedroom was perfect for the cousins to hang out.

Perfect house for extended family vacation!

We loved our stay and everyone agreed that the house was very well equipped! There was plenty of seating place and private space for everyone. The driveway and huge garage was perfect for toddlers to play. We enjoyed the pool several times and it was just a short walk to get there. Wonderful vacation!

Dune vacation

rental process was easy and Mark was a great host. The house was nice and there were a lot of activities nearby. Our grandchildren enjoyed the pool, the dunes, and the beach. We also checked out several lighthouses in the area. It was a great family vacation.

Very quiet place, great for fiends gatherings

The stay was just as expected. Very nice big cottage in the woods, not isolated though, perfect. Lots of things to do for the kids whatever the weather. Friendly property a few steps from the lake, the pool and a few miles from beautiful dunes!

The perfect house

Had a great time in a great home. The space was perfect for our family. The porch was a fun gathering place. Lake Michigan was a short drive and did not disappoint! The pool and tennis court was a hit with our group!

The neighborhood pool was great. Wish the weather had been warmer. The host was quickly responsive to trouble w the refrigerator. The house was large enough for our family group. The exterior of this home needs the service of an arborist. Hot water pressure was a little sketchy upstairs by report. Lower level shower was fine for us but will be too small for very large persons. House has new HVAC and instant hot water. Varmints chewed through all your exterior lights that had been strung up on porch. I removed them for safety. There is a Lot to do in this area. Lots of fun places.

We enjoyed our stay, had a storm that took out the air conditioner and the dryer and they were fixed the same day! The house is large and had room for everyone to relax. The beds are not very comfortable but the location and service were awesome! Would definitely stay there again!

Mark was great and recommend his property

The house is big and we had plenty of room! It fit our group perfect and was close to everything. Tucked at the end of street made us feel safe and that nothing would be touched on our trailers. Great trip and Mark was very helpful on the check in.

Only downside was minimal towels and the larger beds were not comfortable, but that may be different for some else. The property manager was great and communicated well when I had questions. Very nice guy!

Beautiful house in a great location. The layout of the house was perfect for our group of 8 friends. We didn't have time to enjoy the activities available, but there was plenty to do at the house and the Floradale ComplexThere were a couple of issues that I gave feedback to the owner after our stay. He planned to make changes on those.I would absolutely rent this property again!

Great Trip

My girlfriends and I chose this location to get together with all of our children (12 total). The kids ranged in ages from 6-16. We had a great week and the house was perfect for our group. The kids loved sleeping in the bunk room and the hot tub was a nice treat. The big table was perfect for meals and our nightly bingo. We spent lots of time exploring the area and late afternoons at the pool.

Great Space

We have rented severl homes in several states. This was an outstanding property. Even had a well stocked kitchen. Lots of space to spread out. The garage is a huge benefit if you have lot of toys. We had a minor issue that was resolved quickly. We plan to come back next year.

Plenty of space for a big group!

We enjoyed our time in this spacious house. The pool, shuffleboard courts, pickle ball court, tetherball are all an easy 5-10 minute walk. The beach is not a great place to swim, but the public beach just down the road is nice. We also enjoyed the beach by the lighthouse. An afternoon pontoon rental on Silver Lake was great fun, as was Mac Woods Dune ride. Our only disappointment was the furnishings are a bit shabby on the front porch and the first floor.

Nice quiet location

The overall property was very nice. It is a wooded lot which provided for great shade when the kids were outside playing. Nice layout of the house for three individual families. Large living room space for everyone to gather. If there was one thing that needs improvement, is the floors were not very clean. When the babies were crawling, they had black knees and feet..

Family vacation - Grandma with 2 daugters and their families.

5 adults; 4 children aged 12 - 6. Love the area with lots of activities. Happy to enjoy the in-ground pool at the community center. Home is spacious and great that the upstairs bedroom was fun for children to have their own space with tv access. Wish some amenities were in better condition, e.g., ping pong table; lamps in upstairs bedroom. The use of a garbage disposal and a faucet hose would make clean-up easier. Overall, we had an amazing time at this home. Thank you.

August 5-12 family vacation

Our stay here was awesome! My husband and I reserved this house for ourselves, our grown children and their families. The house is huge and I loved that we could all gather in one room, and we could all fit at the dinning table together. Things we loved, the amenities in the house, hot tub, sauna and campfires, pool and tennis courts. Location couldn't be better. So many things to do within minutes. Loved the beach by the lighthouse and Silver Lake. Highly recommend Mac Dune Ride. We had several ping pong tournaments! Great time. Mark and Nick were prompt and very helpful with all our needs. We will be back!
