You may find a stray dog hair or traces of sand even though this place is cleaned by a professional cleaning company and laundry is professionally cleaned. If that is unacceptable to you, please find another house to rent. This one isn't for you.

Very nice place. It was clean and offered a peaceful atmosphere. There were a lot of dragon flies and bluegill off the pier near the cat tails, which was really cool. Great place to stay if you’re hitting the dunes.

Relaxing Stay on Upper Silver Lake

Our stay was comfortable, quiet, and beautiful. We VERY much appreciated the location being dog friendly and Bernadette, our golden retriever, had a wonderful time watching the lake and the schools of blue gill while my husband fished. Would return.

Fun family vacation

Property location was perfect. Home was comfortable with window air conditioning and fans during a hot temperature week. Owner was thoughtful to ensure we had helpful information in advance of arrival. We enjoyed fishing on the canal, the shade of the covered back porch, day trips and cook outs with plenty of space for meal prep and eating with a family of 8.

Peaceful Place

This property is located on silver lake, near all of the wonderful silverlake things you want to do. It seems brand new, as always clean, and has what you would hope would be in a beach house. This is the second time we've stayed here and we always have a good time.

Beautiful place, nice quiet neighborhood

Very nice, super cute clean cottage. Only problem is that we ended up having 4 trucks and trailers that never would they’ve fit in the driveway. Melissa owns the place right next to it where no one was staying this weekend and she allowed us to use it for parking also.. which was so appreciated. And ended working out perfectly.

Fall Michigan trip

We travel each fall to Michigan. This was our first time going north of Saugatuck and we just loved it. The home was so adorable and the views of the lake were amazing. Had our morning coffee and evening cocktails on the back porch. Close towns we visited were Pentwater, Ludington and Manistee. Thank you for sharing your lovely home!

Clean, Peaceful Living

Loved our stay here at Melissa's property. The interiors are clean and stylish with an open floor concept that let's the whole family enjoy their time together. Be sure to take advantage of kayaking to start and end your day -- the water is warm and clear. Have your meals on the outdoor porch to take in the peace of the water and evergreens -- its a great gathering space, especially for our dog! We will definitely be back.

Traveling with Pets

We traveled to this location for the first time with our dogs. The rental was perfect. The interior of the cottage was cute and cozy. We loved the deck which is surrounded by trees and overlooks the canal to the lake. The location is near all Lake Michigan and the Silver Lake Sand Dunes. We would definitely recommend this rental and will plan to return and rent again in the future.

relaxing time in nature

This home is small but very functional. Our kids and their friends slept well in the one bedroom and my spouse and I had the other. We really enjoyed the porch and the sun sparkling through the trees at sunset. The kayaking and fishing were great. We enjoyed movie nights, the fire pit, and playing games around the table. I would definitely rent here again.

About the host

Hosted by Melissa Gowell

Host profile image
We live in Milford Michigan and have been enjoying the Silver Lake area for many years. Upper Silver Lake is a quiet area but close enough to all the action at Silver Lake!

Why they chose this property

We first purchased the cottage next door and have been renting it out when we aren't using it. This property became available and we decided to purchase it and build another cottage for renting and again, for personal use.
