Great little cottage on the lake for a small family getaway. We were close enough to the city to get our hands stained red at the Cherry Festival but far enough away to have our quiet family moments on the lake. Host communication was great and I would highly recommend renting one of the two pontoon they offer. This rental experience supported our very memorable time together.

Amazing Location!

Silver Lake cottage is a fantastic place to stay on your visit to Traverse City. Great location to downtown, amazing lake to be on and plenty of room for our family of 4! We've rented a lot of VRBO's and this one was super accurate to description and one of the best experiences with communication!

Nice little cabin

My family and I had a wonderful time at this cabin. It was small but had everything that we needed. It was very clean and minimal stairs to the lake. The view looking out the kitchen window was amazing.

Silver Lake Stay

Our family of five enjoyed our stay at this cottage. It was well supplied with outdoor toys and floats which our kids had with. We especially enjoyed the paddle board and paddle boat. Plenty of beach towels were provided. It was a peaceful and private getaway.

A great getaway lakefront cottage

Kitchen was well-stocked with utensils, silverware and cooking pots and pans; bedroom was clean and pretty roomy for a cottage of this size; door code much better than having a key; great view of Silver Lake, and conveniently located near all TC has to offer. Thanks, Lauran and Nick!

Cute cottage

We enjoyed our stay at this cottage! It’s very open spaced , with good beach access ( flat ) . The lake area is nice and calm - great for paddling. Nice fire pit area , and a sun shaded deck for dining and sunset watching . Location is great - It’s a short drive into town . This cottage has everything you would need! (the ceiling to the upstairs is a bit low) Lauran is a great host and very attentive to questions. We would stay here again !

Clean Cozy Cottage

The cottage has a beautiful setting on the lake; it was clean and well stocked with books, games, towels, kitchen supplies, etc. A canoe and paddle board were available for use, at no charge. Pontoon boats are available to rent from the owner at a very reasonable rate. Lauren was just outstanding in responding to our questions and needs.

Awesome lake cabin

We just loved this cabin! It’s much more spacious on the inside than you imagine. It had every cooking utensil you could need. The water view was great. Definitely rent the pontoon. Tubing is so much fun! The only bummer for those of you with small kids is that the lake is very mucky at this property, so your kids won’t be interested in swimming at the beach.

Nice stay

This was the perfect spot for our family of5. Check in was so easy. A few minor mishaps but the host was very helpful. Silver lake is great I will say the bedding could use some updates. I didn't love that. There were not mattress cover/ pads on the beds but that would be an easy fix! Overall would for sure recommend

Awesome place to stay! Lauren was amazing! Rented the pontoon for the day, weather wasn't the greatest that day, dreary and chilly. Rainy the next day. She was nice enough to let us keep it throughout our stay. The third day was sunny and beautiful!! Perfect 💜

Nice place, great location

Family of 5 (kids 12,10,8) enjoyed our stay at Silver Lake. Cottage was as expected. Beds in the loft are for kids as ceiling clearance is a bit low for anyone taller than 5’8”. Lake was quiet and my kids enjoyed tubing and being out on the boat that we brought. As for excursions, TC is literally 15 min away. Bear dunes 40min, Torch Lake 30 min, Mackinaw Island 90 min. We had no issues whatsoever and would come back without hesitation.

6/10 Okay

Tidy, nicely appointed, view of eagle and osprey over the lake from the deck, just delightful

Lovely property. It suited our needs very well! Tidy and nicely appointed. I would suggest this is really best suited for a small family with kids under 15. The access to the loft has a very low ceiling. I think the shower head needs to be cleaned. The flow is down to a trickle. The main bedroom has a very soft and saggy bed. We enjoyed seeing Eagles and Osprey, just a delightful location

Thanks for sharing. We bought a new bed after reading this. We want to make sure all guests have the best experience. So there is a new bed and the shower is now fixed as well. Sorry it was not great for your stay.
