This is the backyard. It doesn’t get any closer. It doesn’t get any better. Take out the kayaks and enjoy a beautiful relaxing evening. The water levels for this day were low so we had a nice beach, but a beach is not guaranteed.

The house was wonderful and such a great location right at the lake and nearby the local Silver lake stores. The house was well supplied with all the cooking, lake and fun supplies needed. The place was clean and nicely furnished with plenty of room for everyone on each bedroom.

Great Stay on Silver Lake

Our extended family of 6 adults and 4 teens and 1 almost teen totally enjoyed our stay at Silver Lake Retreat. Plenty of room for everyone and a perfect location within walking distance of multiple Silver Lake attractions. Lake Michigan dunes, Silver Lake State Park and a boat rental business provided us with many options of things to do. The home itself was spotless and the owner always responded to any questions we had promptly. Thank you for a fabulous stay…we hope to return next summer.

Silver Lake getaway

We loved our week stay on this Silver Lake property! The location of this property was perfect! From the view of the lake and sand dunes to the short drive to beautiful beaches, dune excursions and fun family excursions the location could not be surpassed! The sunsets from the dock were beautiful each night! My grandchildren loved the short walk to ice cream, putt putt courses and a go kart track! The property itself was extremely clean, spacious and appointed with everything from bikes, beach chairs and umbrella! Hailey is a superb host! Very attentive and responds within minutes of an inquiry! Would highly recommend this property! We hope to return in the future!

Beautiful Silver Lake View

We had a great time staying at this beautiful property on Silver Lake! We had a group of 11 and there was plenty of space. The dock right across the street was great! The property is clean and had what we needed. Hailey was always quick to respond if we had any questions. One thing to keep in mind is there is a street between the house and the water. It’s pretty busy during the day with vehicles heading to the dunes. It wasn’t a problem for us but something to be aware of. Overall we had a great stay! The sunsets were a highlight as well as taking our paddle boards out on the water. We used the boat rental down the street and it was very easy and fun. Lots to enjoy at this location! We highly recommend.
