About this property
Experience lake life at our 3-bedroom beachfront cottage, near Grand Rapids.
Silver Lake is one of the premier all sport lakes in West Michigan with 225 acres and is rated highly in water quality. Only 5 miles from downtown Rockford and 16 miles from downtown Grand Rapids. The sandy bottom beach is great for swimming and water activities. A newer 2021 pontoon boat with a 60 hp engine is available for rent. I also have another property on the lake 12 houses away that is VRBO #710565.
The cottage has about 1200 square feet with 3 bedrooms, two on the 2nd floor and one on the main. 2 full baths, one with a shower and the other with a tub/shower. Two 9 foot sliders provide a great view of the lake. The cottage has newer furniture and beds/mattresses with high quality sheets and amenities.
The outside has a huge deck overlooking the water with only 5 steps down to the grass/beach and a large brick outdoor fireplace with Adirondack chairs for relaxing around a fire. The property comes with 2 kayaks, 2 stand up paddle boards, and a paddle boat. Sand toys for kids, corn hole, horseshoes, and life-jackets are included.
The 20 foot pontoon boat with a 60 hp engine is available for rent with a capacity of 9 people. It can be reserved by either of my properties on the lake so it is possible it could be reserved by the other place. The rate depends on the time of year. Please inquire about pricing and availability.
There are numerous recreational activities in the area, including parks, bike/hiking trails, and skiing. A variety of shops and restaurants are located within 1-5 miles.
This is the 2nd property that I have available on the lake. If the dates are not available that you desire, please inquire about the other property. This Property might be available as a 6 month rental in the winter. Please inquire.

About the host
Hosted by Brian DeGraaf

This is one of 2 vacation rentals. I have another home on the same lake that has been a vacation rental for the past 10 years. I love to travel and learn about other cultures and explore. I've traveled to over 40 countries and all 50 states. I enjoy visiting other VRBO properties. I'm always open to improving my properties and the experience for guests.
Why they chose this property
This is one of the best lakes in West Michigan and close to Rockford and Grand Rapids. The house has everything you need, new furniture, large decks, and wonderful sandy waterfront. Has the feel of a property up North but close to everything you need. Also rare to find a property that has a pontoon boat available to rent.
What makes this property unique
Great swimming, views, large deck, well furnished and close to town and numerous amenities.
