The large front deck is over 600 square feet with a covered area for those looking for some shade on the hot summer days. Generous front and rear lawn areas provide excellent space for outdoor fun, including a campfire ring. This home features 80' of lake frontage, grass lake frontage and shared boat dock for guest use.

Silver Lake Fun

The family really enjoyed our time at Silver Lake - from the dune rides to the jet skis the family had a great time. Mark met us on our arrival and was able to point us the right direction for a week of rest and relaxation.

About the host

Hosted by Mark Heeren

Our family has owned this property since 1992. We have rented the home by referrals since we acquired the property. We have enjoyed sharing our home with many families over the years and always look forward to meeting new families. We typically block a couple of weeks each summer to enjoy the lake and dunes ourselves. Our main home is 80 miles away in Belmont Michigan, near Grand Rapids. We enjoy boating and spending time on the beach at the sand dunes.

What makes this property unique

When we remodeled in 2007, our focus was on the kitchen and outdoor porch/decks. We all know that the party and socializing always ends up in the kitchen. So, that is why you will find a large, sweeping, bar stool height countertop that seats 10. Additionally, a large table for 8 will seat all of the guests for a great dinner.

The porch/deck areas were another priority. Spending our time outdoors, rain or shine, was important to us. We love watching the people and cars go by, as well as looking out over the lake and across to the sand dunes. The sunsets are amazing anytime of year, watching the sun drop below the sand dunes.

We stock the house the same for your enjoyment as we do for our own. Bring the basics, we have you covered.
