Family vacation
House is right on Silver Lake, which is very small and peaceful. Perfect for fishing and kayaking. Everything is available for both. The house leads out to a huge deck right on the water. Great for a relaxing stay away from the stress of every day life.

great deck!
Pros: The deck is amazing, including the accessories on it - fancy grill, gas fire pit, amazing patio furniture. There were so many water toys - 5 kayaks, fun inflatables, water guns, fishing rods and tackle. There are lots of fish in the lake - we caught two even though we are super inexperienced. The neighborhood is great for running and biking, especially with kids. The property owners were super responsive and helpful, answering all of our questions within minutes via the VRBO app. Cons: The house is in need of some general maintenance and fixture updates. The ceiling fans made abnormally loud noises which were too much for my kids, and it was roasting hot without them on, which made for unpleasant sleeping conditions. This place was described as being quiet, but there were lots of motorsports going on around us all week, including jet skis and ATVs. Note for parents of young kids: I always like to add notes for those traveling with toddlers. This place has two working bathtubs and a washer/dryer, which was really amazing. The kids' room has a trundle underneath the bunk bed if your toddler isn't ready for the bottom bunk yet. However, the ladder to the top bunk is not removable, so if you have a climber (like mine), you will have to think about supervision. We solved this by the toddler sleeping with my husband in the first-floor queen, while I slept in the bunk room with my 7yo, which was fine, just less romantic than we had hoped for. The ceiling fan is partially over the top bunk, so it could smack an unsuspecting child in the head. The stairs could be blocked by a simple baby gate (I think - our toddler is past that stage). If you go in the winter, the fireplace is big and would need an enormous gate to block it off, but you could just not use it. The living room has these ottoman-box things that are not sturdy enough for toddlers to climb on, despite being the perfect height to tempt them, which was frustrating for all of us. On the plus side, the screen doors have twist-latches so you can keep your toddler in the house while still letting the breeze in. The deck is just how it looks in the pics - open right to the water. We solved this by putting a life vest on our toddler every time she was on the deck, but it was still a little nerve-wracking. Overall, I'd probably say this is a 3-star house for toddlers. I've stayed in worse, but would definitely recommend this for older kids who can swim independently.

Beautiful Property and Responsive Hosts
The hosts were great, and the property was very nice! They have a ton of kayaks and an amazing deck. The only complaint is that the owners have a dog, but didn’t list that on their listing. We had to de-fur the couches so that I could sit on them (I’m allergic to cats and dogs). Would definitely stay here again.

Peaceful lake vacation
Pros-amazing deck space, caught fish every single day, plenty of floats canoes and kayaks, several days we did not see another soul until noon so if you like peace and quiet this is a great spot, very remote and small peaceful lake, great one mile loop to walk around every day, owners very communicative and prompt, several very sharp knives in the kitchen. Cons-downstairs bedroom so small there's absolutely nowhere to even put suitcases and the bed is smack dab up against the wall, there's no air conditioning and even though people will tell you you don't need it up there trust us, you do. It was over 80° in the house even when we kept the shades drawn during the day. So if you like it cool in the evening when you sleep bring a portable air conditioner or lots of fans because it is very warm and humid. If you don't like the idea of having to drive quite a distance to get to grocery stores, breweries, shopping districts... You may want to look for a lake that is not quite as remote as this one. If you plan on cooking while you're there, make sure you bring your own seasonings and a couple of decent pans to cook with, the kitchen is stocked but very basic and old scratched up pans and only salt and pepper in the cabinet, every single night someone around the lake was lighting off fireworks, sometimes as late as 10:15 at night.

Fantastic location by the lake
We really enjoyed our stay on Silver Lake. The house was great— the deck was wonderful. Evenings roasting s’mores at the fire pit. Great amenities. The house was sparkling clean.

Why they chose this property

We were renting a small cottage in the area while visiting our daughter in French Woods. We came upon this house while taking a walk. The rest is history :-)

What makes this property unique

Modern and spacious house in a quiet community right on a beautiful lake. The house has all the comforts of home as it is built for year around living. It truly takes you "away from it all". We found no better place to run away to and recharge.
