Super clean well maintained inside. The outside was not well maintained-almost useable - not as pictured. Great location for access Lake Michigan. Overall really good experience, the outside maintenance was a little disappointing

The house was perfect for our large crowd and like a mini hotel! Overall, the house itself was clean inside but the outside is in desperate need of some TLC (weeds pulled, bushes trimmed, etc) and a good power washing. I get that it's in the woods and all but the green mold right around the main deck was a bit gross. Also, the main door needs some help as it was very difficult to open and close. The kitchen was great with most everything we needed with the exception of pot holders and dish towels. It could also some handrails around the deck for older adults. It would have also been nice to have a parking pass for the beach. We had a few people with walking limitations so it would have been nice to have. Again, the house size was perfect for our families and the space was great for our Michigan families to gather for the day. Would definitely recommend!

Such a nice house for large groups. We loved the close walk to the beautiful beach and easy check out. Another great thing was how many bathrooms! When you can sleep a lot of people, it’s important to have many bathrooms too.

Good location for winter getaway with friends

Enjoyed our time at the place. It’s a half mile walk to the water but pretty even in winter. Many rooms and lots of space for large groups. We had 4 couples in our group and plenty of rooms. Great price for a winter getaway. Stoney Lake Tavern nearby has great food too.

Our family group of 13 had a greater time at this house. Lots of room. nice deck, beautiful kitchen, kayaks, fire pit, pool and air hockey, walk to a gorgeous beach. We enjoyed many nearby activities - dune riding, tubing and kayaking, horseback riding, dairy farm tour, fishing excursion. A wonderful time being together!

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a wonderful review, Dana! It warms our hearts to hear that your family of 13 had a fantastic stay. We're thrilled you appreciated the spacious layout, beautiful kitchen, and relaxing deck. It’s fantastic that the kayaks, fire pit, pool, and air hockey table added to the fun. We hope the short walk to the beach made it easy for everyone to unwind. Thank you again for choosing our home for your family getaway and for sharing your experience.

Lots of room for a crowd

With seven bedrooms and six bathrooms, we had more than enough room! One of the highlights was the private beach which was always almost completely deserted. The beach is about a half mile walk from the house, and our only issue was not having a parking pass to park there. The host at this property needs to figure that out so that guests can conveniently access the beach by car.

Thank you so much for your feedback. I'm really glad to hear you enjoyed the location and size of the house! I’m very sorry to hear about the cleanliness issues and the sewer smell—that’s definitely not the experience we aim to provide. I’ll be following up with our cleaning team to make sure this is addressed immediately so it doesn’t happen again. We truly appreciate you bringing this to our attention and hope to have the opportunity to host you again with a much improved experience.

We had a really good time at Silver Lake Dunes Retreat. It was just the right size for our family of 12. The kitchen was very well supplied with appliances, pans and dishes plus 2 dish washers. We could not use the grill that was available. We enjoyed the game tables, and sitting around the fire pit every night. The beach was beautiful, although it was a 10 minute walk. The owner should have supplied a parking pass for the restricted parking area for transporting Grandma and our beach supplies.Cleaning could be improved. The fan in one of the south bedrooms is broken. Over all a very good experience. Loved tubing on Stoney Creek as a plus.

Hello Laura, thanks for staying with us! We are working on getting a parking pass there we are so sorry for the inconvenience. The grill should have worked during your stay as it is brand new but like mentioned in our listing we do not supply propane.

A bad end

Our stay was good to start. Good communication about a water issue at the property. The house was as described. Unfortunately we had to leave a day early because there were serious septic issues and there was raw sewage in the downstairs tube and in the garage. Communication was fine with the rental company about this, but they refused to refund a whole day for us, even though we had to leave.

We loved the house. It was great for our large family. The pros: large, good supply of dishes and utensils for large groups. The kayaks were enjoyed by my children and grand children. It was nice to sit outside in the evenings, and we enjoyed going on walks throughout the day.Cons: a minimum of one parking pass for the beach would be appreciated. There was a lot of driving back and forth to transport beach supplies, and for family that are unable to walk; it would be a benefit. The fire pit is in the front yard off to the side, not ideal for large groups. While the eye level parts of the home were clean, it could use a deep clean to address cobwebs ceiling fans, corners of rooms. I found a swim suit on the floor behind a stool in the large bathroom. Just paying more attention when cleaning would be a bonus and make an all over better impression. The dek areas are full of leaves and cobwebs, not very inviting. Lastly, with a house this size, it would be helpful to have 2 cooling units. To cool the upstairs where theajority of bedrooms are, you freeZe out the downstairs. All in all, we were happy with our stay, everyone had a great time. We would stay again. Thanks for sharing your home.

Could Use Better Maintenance

The house is spacious with plenty do within the home. Our large family gathered here this winter to celebrate a late Christmas together. Some of our disappointments included- The entire downstairs of the house had a difficult time heating up and staying warm. The upstairs was plenty warm. We were surprised to find some holes in the walls upstairs. The dishwashers worked, however the doors and drawers inside were broken. The bathroom in the downstairs had a clogged toilet that we were unable to unclog. In one of the bathrooms connected to the bedroom upstairs, the bath tub/shower would not drain, it seemed to take hours for the water do drain, in that same bathroom the toilet continued to run. We worked on the float/plunger several different times during our stay but it continued to randomly run. The toilet brush in this bathroom was completely filthy with dirty substances in the brush bristles. The floors throughout the house were not completely cleaned- there was sand, dust and hairs in spots around the house. The walls and ceilings (especially in the bedrooms) had dust and cobwebs around. The rugs through out the home were in great need of vacuuming/cleaning and washing. We washed one rug from the kitchen due to a spill and there was a significant difference in cleanliness when we placed it next to a matching rug. We appreciate being able to have a large home to make memories in, we would have appreciated better cleaning/maintenance around the house.

Hello Jill, we really wish you would have reached out during your stay and we could have had someone come snake the drains and look at the toilet issue. We don’t always hear about issues in the house since we do not live there so we appreciate feedback so we have an opportunity to fix those things. Thank you for letting us know about the cleanliness, we take cleaning very seriously and will relay all this to our cleaning company and get a deep clean on the books.

The location was good. Short 1/2 mile walk to the beach (no public parking but you can drive over if you want to drop people off). The beach was nearly empty and private. The house met the needs of our large group. The house does need a few maintenance clean ups but nothing that prevented us from having a good time. Would we use it again? You bet. Good family memories from this trip!
