Eamon and Rachel have hosted us at their quaint cottage for a number of years. It’s very cozy and the recent renovations are great. We love the fireplace. Always very responsive and easy to communicate with.
We’ve stayed here 4 years now and love the character of the home and the fireplace. The beds were comfy and the eating options nearby are great! Eamon was very helpful in accommodating us and answering questions / general communications. We hope to continue returning and look forward to checking out the upgrades!
A beautiful, peaceful place to create lasting memories with your family. Lakefront home offers all the summer activities needed for a relaxing , fun family vacation.
This property was well-suited for our family. The generous side yard is a great space for lawn games, and the game room is a fun option when you're not on the lake. The boat pier accommodated our large pontoon, and the swim area had a nice sandy bottom. The guest house had nice open spaces and was furnished for a gathering. The owners made you feel welcome.
Clean, rustic, scenic. Great access to the water and the town. Very roomy deck for entertaining, plus a fire pit! Great decor inside the house, Had the feel of a fishing lodge from years gone by with many modern convinces. The game room was a big hit with the teens and 20-something family members.
This house was in a very convenient location making it easy to get take out dinners from The Moose Inn across the street. The deck was nice for lake viewing. I do need to mention the steepness of the stairs to second floor as this did not work for me. Fortunately the other people on the trip could navigate them, and I used the bed and bath on the first floor.
We have been blessed to have stayed at this amazing house the last 3 years. The Welch family truly cares and makes sure your time spent at their home is memorable. Looking forward to family vacation 2021!
The house is warm and welcoming. The deck offers a wonderful option of outdoor dining and just hanging out. The Welch's are amazing hosts and have made upgrades that really made the week so relaxing and enjoyable.
Our family has again this year created lasting memories.
We had a very enjoyable stay on Silver Lake. The home was quite comfortable and had everything we needed. We especially loved swimming, paddle boarding and fishing. The neighbors were nice as well, which isn’t always something you encounter at rentals. Eamon was quick to respond to minor questions/ thoughts we had, and extremely easy to work with. Thanks for the hospitality!
This cottage is everything we envisioned for a week at the lake with our children and their spouses. Beautiful inside, very spacious inside and out, wonderful deck with a great view, game room is a wonderful bonus. Communication with the owner was great. Definitely want to return next year!

Comfy, Cozy
Our family had an awesome time! The weather was warm and we spent a great deal of time in the beautiful lake. The cabin was comfortable and well stocked. There really was no need to leave the cabin. Enough room for 7 adults. The only negative was the attack of the mosquitoes! Already talking of a return visit.

Why they chose this property
We love Silver Lake because it has great sand bottom, very clear, great fishing, and full recreation lake. The views face the south and west and allow for great sun all day, and wonderful sunsets.
The home is a vintage charming lake home, exposed beams and classic charm abound. The large deck and dock provide additional sitting areas. The garage has a rec room with Ping Pong, Pin Ball, etc.
What makes this property unique
with close proximity to Wautoma, and great dinning options like the Moose Inn, Silvercryst Supper Club and Milty Wilty, there are great options. Proximity to snowmobile trails, and skiing at Nordic Mountain are equally strong winter draws. You will love the great fireplace, and wonderful large porch to soak up the sun.
