Perfect weekend getaway

Perfect little place for a couples summer weekend getaway. The access to the beach is perfect and being able to use kayaks with the rental was perfect for the two of us. They included an amazing bottle of wine for our anniversary which was very sweet and gave it that extra touch. 10/10 plan on booking again in the future.

Great cottage on a beautiful lake, close to everything

Our family loved this cottage and property. You can't be on a lake any closer to Traverse city, this is the closest one. The property is great, with 7 other cabins on the property there were lots of chances to meet other vacationers, and for our son to play with other kids. beach and water were beautiful, and the cabin was perfect for us, and very clean.

The cottage is very quaint and extremely clean. Perfect for 3-4 people. The view is amazing even with the cold, windy and rainy weekend. The fireplace was a nice addition, since it was too windy and rainy for a bonfire. The hosts are great. They are accommodating and responded quickly to our messages. They even left a very sweet welcome gift. Thank you for sharing your cottage with us.

We had the best week and house was perfect allowing us to explore all the tourist attractions around Traverse City. We are a family of 4 (2 teens) super comfy all week and would rent or recommend to family for future vacations.

Incredible stay!

We stayed at the cottage for almost a week and it was glorious! Super clean, incredible views of the lake, has everything in the kitchen you could need. The fire pit, kayaks, and gazebo made the stay even better. Lori was SUPER quick to respond to any questions we had and was really easy to check in. We hope to come back next summer! Thank you for a wonderful family vacation:)

Relaxing and peaceful

The setting is idyllic. We loved sitting outside eating BBQ dinner and watching the sun set over the lake. We made multiple kayak trips on the lake and found lots to see and do in the area. The house is compact but very well laid out and functional. The hosts made us feel very welcome.

Very cozy lake cottage

We really enjoyed our stay here. It's close enough to everything to have easy access to everything the area has to offer in a short drive. The cottage is small, but it has everything you could need and is truly cozy. It was also more than enough space for our small family of four. You have access to a small shared beach right behind the property and our son spent most of his time playing there. We would definitely stay here again.

Lakeside getaway

This was a second visit to this property, in the springtime just prior to the busy summer season. It’s small but well appointed and very well kept. The location is convenient to downtown Traverse City a few miles away, but quiet and relaxed. I would recommend it to small groups or a family. The hosts are proactive and friendly. Thanks for another pleasant stay.

Charming & Peaceful

We so enjoyed our short stay at this charming, peaceful property. Silver Lake is a large, crystal clear body of water and so close to Traverse City. Loons called in the morning and at nighttime, too. This family-friendly property was perfect for our needs. Thank you, Lori, for your excellent communication with us and for operating such a great cottage at a lovely location!

Wonderful Stay

This cute little cottage met all our expectations. My husband & I travel to Traverse City every summer & wanted to stay away from the traffic & crowds along the hotel/resort thoroughfare & this property was perfect. It was a short drive to the downtown area. This cottage has a beautiful view of the lake, although it was pretty cool during our stay so we weren’t able to enjoy the outdoor amenities. Kevin & Teresa are perfect hosts & all communications were very timely.

Beautiful cozy cottage, perfect location.

My wife and I decided to have a long weekend getaway. The cottage is right on the lake, it has awesome views of the sunset. The grounds are well kept, the gazebo overviews the whole lake, so it was nice enjoying a drink or a meal right at sunset. The downtown TC was only 10-12 minutes away so it was fine for us. The cottage itself had everything we need it, and it felt cozy and comfortable. I would like to come back here again with family so we can all enjoy a nice relaxing weekend.

Beautiful Property and Cozy

We really enjoyed our stay, and the property is beautiful. The beach is wonderful and lake access is right out your back door. The cabin is cozy and it comfortably fit our family of three, but I believe it would be a tight squeeze with four or more. The only thing that would have made the trip a 5 star is a washer/dryer. Unfortunately, the weather was bad our first day, and we got soaked at our soccer tournament, and we came back before our second game and had no way to get her uniform dry. Again, fantastic stay and beautiful location.

Soccer weekend

Loved the peacefulness of the lake and the proximity of the house to the gazebo and lake. It's a tight fit for 4 adults, but worked well for the 3 of us. Others had commented about the strong perfume smells - we would agree. The onliy negative to this property was the strong strong fragrance - from the wall plug in to the sheets/blankets - everything was scented. Hosts were super responsive and house was super cute. We had a great time!

Cockroaches

We found multiple cockroaches in this property. We caught one and left it for the owner to see. We thought the place was nice otherwise and the community area is great for kids. We wish we didn’t bring cockroaches home with us. The air conditioner is loud and cumbersome- sitting in the middle of the kitchen. The owner has not responded to us regarding compensation for the cockroaches- we threw out anything with small holes that couldn’t be washed. We spent hours bagging things so that we wouldn’t bring them into our home. We ended up finding a live cockroach in our daughters jumper.

Response from VrboOwner on 29 Jul 2021
NO 'COCKROACH' PROBLEM HERE As owners, we lived in the residence for seven months prior to renting it in the spring. During that time there was no evidence of any bugs. None of the rentals this year prior to this guest were characterized by complaints of bugs (aside from occasional ants.) Neither was there any evidence of any bugs during cleanings between these guests. Since this guest there have been no complaints or sightings by guests of ‘cockroaches’ nor have there been any sightings during the cleaning process. The cottage is dry and clean with no signs of moisture or other problems that would attract bugs. We clean under and behind appliances on a regular basis without any sightings of any bugs. In addition, as a precaution we have treated for insects inside and outside the perimeter and placed insect traps inside the cottage and detected no bugs whatsoever. Given these facts we believe the ‘cockroach’ problem was not ours.
