This property was previously rented prior to our returning from Alaska, after 24 years, in 2014. (Reason for limited recent reviews) We have owned the property since 1989 and have since built a new house. This lodge and cottage is now available. Many upgrades from previous rental history. New 80' dock, additional kayaks, swing sets for the kids, 5 mini split air-conditioning units, new living room furniture.
Paired as a large home and guest cottage, this waterfront estate will comfortably welcome your family gathering with ample space and all the amenities you need to make this your home away from home. With 500 feet of private frontage on Silver Lake, your family can enjoy all the water and outdoor activities this 5 acre parcel has to offer. The privacy and space make this an ideal setting for family reunions and provides a host of activities for young children. Our oversized shore allows you to step off the porch and enjoy all the toys that are included with the rental. The rowboats, kayaks, and paddleboats can be launched from your own dock so you enjoy the refreshing lake. In addition, horseshoes, volleyball and a pool table are yours to enjoy. Our home offers you the convenience of outdoor cooking on our grill so you can enjoy a picnic on the beach and relax into the evening with a campfire in the fire pit. Located just 10 minutes from downtown Traverse City where you can shop and play and within minutes of Traverse City’s own Minor League Baseball team, The Pit Spitters. Great fireworks after all home games on Friday night with great viewing from the property. This property is sure to be everything you need to make your vacation perfect!
