Very nice house and was very clean and very nice fire pit area. Spacious deck with enough chairs for everyone and great place to hang out in the early morning with a cup coffee and in the evening as well. The make up of the floor plan and the bedrooms and beds was perfect for our family. The host Ryan was great and responded to any questions we had and provided information that made the check in and check out very easy. Look forward to staying here again when we return to Silver Lake.

This home is nicer than the outdoor picture shows. It's super clean. There is plenty of space, dishes, and eating area for 12 people. The lawn is grass rather than dirt like many in this wooded area, so it's great for littles to run around and play. It is directly next to one of the compact crushed stone trails through the woods to the main Floradale area where the pool and game courts are. The trail easily has space for pulling littles on a bike trailer to get to the pool. We've been renting in the Floradale area for about 10 years, at Silver Lake for over 40 years. This spot is quieter than most, close to Floradale amenities and a short stroll to the large, seldom used, shared beach.The only downside is typical of many cottages built at this time; it is dark inside with the wood interior. However, this gives it a true Up North feel as it's decorated with a woodsy bear theme. Ryan is just a text away with any questions.

We sadly had to leave Silver Lake this morning. This property was ABSOLUTELY PERFECT for one mom taking six teenage boys on a lake vaca. The two 17 year olds commandeered the basement. The four 15 year olds claimed the oversized upstairs loft area. I took a room on the main level. The two extra bunks on the main level went unused this trip, but maybe next time. The kitchen was an open ended galley style which made it easy to use and great for maneuvering around the house. The hosts provided all the necessary kitchenware and several extras. There was a pantry for all our food to be hidden away and off the counter. The four top table in the kitchen was great for our random eating habits. The big table on the enclosed porch and/or the two tables on the back deck worked great when we all sat down to share a meal. The big table was ideal for cards and board games. We mostly loved the enclosed porch for keeping our outdoor gear out of the way while still being secure and also to keep sandy shoes out of the house. The firepit was a HUGE HIT! We played soccer, visited in the comfy Adirondack chairs and of course made s’mores. The hosts also provided a few outdoor games.The boys loved the heated pool, b-ball court and tennis court for pickleball. Being within walking distance of the beach area, Craig’s Cruisers and other businesses was a bonus. We rented the hosts pontoon for the week for tubing, cruising, swimming, and the dunes.Highly recommend!Holly (07/2026)

The house is very clean and has everything one may need, and even more. The neighborhood is safe and quiet. It was great to use the new fire pit and the private swimming pool, tennis courts, and table tennis. Close to Silver Lake, sand dunes, and Lake Michigan. Overall, we had a wonderful stay.

Check-in went well after we got the lock figured out and we unlocked the opportunity to make some amazing family memories! Host was attentive to anything that came up, the house worked perfectly for us, kitchen is well stocked with supplies and super helpful to have some items for smaller children. The screen porch is great for family game time and the deck looking out over the woods is so peaceful. The firepit was relaxing to use and the couch is great for napping after a day at the beach. The local activities are lots of fun too. The whole family would like to go back!
Took a walk to the top of the lighthouse - even the 3 & 4 year old made it!

My family and I stayed at Silver Lake in 2012 and had a great time. In 2024, we wanted to relive that experience, and our stay did not disappoint.

About the host

Hosted by Ryan

Host profile image
As a kid I spent many summers enjoying the dunes, lake Michigan's beaches, evenings at the Whippy Dip and roasting marshmallows over a glowing campfire. We would take day trips walking around Pentwater, Ludington and the small towns nearby.

Now as a parent i look forward to building new memories with my family at silver lake and we hope our place allows you to build lasting memories with your family.

Why they chose this property

This property is the perfect mix between a secluded quiet cottage and being close enough to walk into town, to Mac Woods or the Whippy Dip.

The private beach has soft sugar white sand that offers the best views of the dunes. Enjoy an evening by the water and cook hamburgers on the grill. A step over the short seawall provides great swimming in sandy Silver Lake. While it's not the best place to swim it does provide peace and quiet from the busy Lake Michigan beaches. We also have a boat slip for rent if you'd like to bring your own boat and enjoy tubing, skiing, or trips across the lake to the sandy beaches of Silver Lake.

The house is cared for by us and helped maintained by a local resident. We live in Grand Rapids so we are close by if you need us but we respect your privacy and trust you know how to enjoy yourselves responsibly.

The most important reason to rent Parasail Place is because we understand what you want in a vacation rental. We ourselves have rented a wide variety of places and have shared your frustrations of not having what you need to enjoy a week away from home. You should not have to worry 'am I forgetting something, do we have towels, what about linens and pillows, spices and utensils. I hope this place has what we need.' We have added everything we could think of, within reason, to add but if we forgot something that is necessary we would be happy to provide it.

Our intentions are for you to pack your bags not pack your house up.

What makes this property unique

Room for 2 families without breaking the budget.

Our house can actually accommodate the number of people it sleeps both for dining and relaxing.

The house was designed with kids in mind. We know you want to relax too and having the kids enjoy themselves makes your vacation much more pleasant. Besides the property amenities (pool, basketball, tennis, shuffle board, and the rec center), classic board games, woods nearby for exploring....and best yet, a separate living room for the adults to sit and talk while the kids play games or watch movies.

This house has the comforts of your home only miles away from the bustle of your city or town.
