Great family vacation spot!
This was a great place for a family vacation. Everything was provided and then some. It really was a home away from home! Weather was perfect and enough for everyone to do. There are many things to do close by if relaxing and playing in the sun are not enough for everyone. We all appreciated the extras, like lots of toys for kids to play with. Being able to rent the pontoon was great and it was great to have Dave next door for any questions we had. Also appreciated the free tomatoes! Thank you!
Great experience!!
Brian was great to work with. The place was perfect for our family reunion. It was cozy and clean and a lot of fun stuff to do. His brother Dave lives next door and he was so helpful. We can't wait until our next visit.
Perfect summer getaway
The cottage was wonderful! It is well stocked with anything you might need in the kitchen and the bathrooms. Plenty of sheets and towels. There are a ton of kids beach toys and outdoor furniture. It has plenty of room and the sun porch is a great place to relax and look at the water. The owner's brother is right next store and helps with whatever you need. We had such a great time and we can't wait to book it again! Thank you for a great family vacation!
Great family vacation
Just finished our week at Silver Lake. This rental turned out to be PERFECT for my two grandchildren (ages 7 and almost 3), and also for me and the parents. Plenty of room in the house and a wonderful beach to play in. The pontoon boat was very popular as well as the kayaks, stand up paddleboard and paddle boat. The house has everything we could have wanted including cable tv when we needed some less active periods. We are already booked to go back next summer.
FAMILY FUN
Dear Brian
We had a great time during our week at property ID 710565. The lakefront and sandy beach were primo for our situation. The four-year old twins spent hours making sand castles, roads, rivers, etc and smashing them down. The shaded area and picnic tables were a real asset as well. We could all be together but with different comfort/heat.sun zones. We used most of the equipment available and ran out of time long before we exhausted our enjoyment of them.
Inside
Sleeping arrangements worked fine although the family with children got a little creative to make the situation work for the four of them at the top of the stairs. (opened futon and blew up twin mattress for the girls which worked fine. We hung towels over the door windows at the bottom of the stairs to keep early light from waking them up.)
We had no trouble finding what we needed for food prep and fit stuff from the three families in the frig with no problem. Ric's was a great spot for any food/drink we needed. Nice place. An easy walk, bike or drive. Nice location for a few side trips.
We all enjoyed the warm water and with much coaching and cheering, the girls learned to jump off the dock, swim to and climb up the ladder. A major accomplishment. Although there were many alternative beach/water activities, the boggy and weedy lake bottom limited family play in the water.
Thanks so much for the many ways you have exceeded expectations for equipment, supplies and hospitality.

Love this place, will Definitely rent again!
This was our 3rd year renting this cottage, and we plan to rent again next year. Backyard is great, large grassy area, and nice beach area, with firepit on beach (lots of firewood out back). Kids love the floating dock, paddle boat, paddle boards, and various flotation devices. Plenty of room out back for cars, as we have friends and family visit for the day. Laundry facilities is a huge plus. No dishwasher, but Brian is looking to put one in. Neighbors are very friendly. Very comfortable, we love this place!
Map
Silver Lake Golf Club is on the West side of the lake. Numerous mountain bike parks within 5 miles. Bike trail starts at North end of the lake through beautiful scenery to the village of Cannonsburg.
Downtown Rockford has many shops, restaurants and activities for the family.
