About this property

Authentic Log Cabin on Beautiful Silver Lake in Traverse City MI. Pet Friendly!

2 Bed , 2 Bunk Bed, 1 Bath, Sleeps 6. Pontoon boat is $400/day (2 day min), $1800/week
Enjoy our beautiful authentic 1950's log home on 65 feet of private lake frontage on the 'quiet side' of Silver Lake. Decorated with treasures from the family farm, the cabin is cozy and quaint with hardwood floors, handcrafted log, hickory and pine furnishings, leather sofa with loveseat and maple cabinets. The warm glow of the pine logs gives a cozy and peaceful atmosphere for sleeping 6 people.

The kitchen is bright and cheery and is well stocked with all the pots and pans you will need, including a coffee pot. The dining area has a beautiful handmade hickory table. In the living room is a Vermont Castings gas stove with a glass front for those evenings when you want to sit inside by the fire.
Enjoy the view of the lake from the back deck or during the hot afternoon sip a cold drink in the shady front flagstone courtyard.

The sleeping arrangements are: one King bedroom, one queen bedroom, both beds are fitted with comfortable mattress toppers.
The bunk room facing the lake features adult size cedar log bunk beds (the bunk room is not air conditioned but is surrounded by windows for a nice breeze).
All linens and towels are provided. We give you a starter paper supplies kit which includes paper towels, trash bags and toilet paper rolls.
Wildlife is abundant with loons, swans, ducks, muskrat, squirrels, bunnies and a variety of birds. For the angler, enjoy good fishing. Bass, bluegill, perch, pike, sunfish, and walleye. There is a lakeside deck with patio furniture and a new grilling station equipped with a Napoleon grill for outdoor eating where you can enjoy the spectacular sunsets after dinner. There is a beautiful large sandy beach and a flagstone fire-pit nestled near the waters edge.

About the host

Hosted by Emily Burritt

Host profile image
We love to travel and have done so extensively with our two children. We have logged over 20,000 miles in our RV while taking our children to all fifty states. Traverse City is still considered one of the most beautiful places in the country in our book. We always look forward to spending time at the cabin because it is such a cozy and peaceful place.

Why they chose this property

As a native of Traverse City, I grew up enjoying the lakes around the area. I was thrilled when Kurt and I had the chance to buy this log cabin. We worked hard to update it by adding modern amenities without losing the character and charm and that 'up-north' feel. It is just ten minutes to downtown Traverse City, yet you feel like you are away from it all. Traverse City offers such a great quality of life along with many wonderful local shops and restaurants to enjoy.

What makes this property unique

A quiet and peaceful setting on the East side of Silver Lake. Our favorite thing to do during our stay at the cabin is pack up a picnic lunch or evening appetizers and cruise around the lake on the pontoon boat. With the boat conveniently docked at the private sandy beach, there is little effort to enjoying the beauty of Silver Lake. This pristine, all sports lake, is the closest lake to Traverse City with easy access to everything. Our evenings usually consist of cooking delicious steaks or fresh fish from our family market, Burritt's Fresh Market while watching the fabulous sunsets. We love to end the evening with a campfire next to the lake listening to the frogs and loons. Life doesn't get any better than that!
