Silver Lakes Vacay

My husband, two teens and I stayed in this adorable home. It had everything we needed and was super clean and updated. We loved that there was ample parking out front for our vehicles and trailer. It was only a few min. to the downtown area, beaches and dunes. I would definitely stay here again.

Nice location

House was in a great location with plenty of parking. Only downfall was the basement area smelled really musty and it was from the window AC unit; we didn't use it.

Great Weekender

The location is perfect proximity to everything in Silver Lake. The back yard is perfect for hanging out with friends, and the nice front yard firepit is great for a group too. Overall we really enjoyed our stay.

Lovely little place

I stayed here with my sister and it was a great stay! The home was cute and very comfort. The owner was very responsive in communication with me and helping me with all my needs. The only down side to the area is that there is little to no cell reception so be sure to get your check in in for before arriving to the house.

Perfect cabin

We absolutely loved this place. The layout was perfect and separated rooms gave us privacy for both couples. Outside has a nice concrete patio with a fire pit perfect for winding do after a fun filled day. The horse shoe pit and tiki bar was very nice too. We will definitely be back.

Our whole family had a wonderful time at this cozy cabin. The location is great and close to everything. We liked the separate entrance downstairs — it was great for our family. Cozy indoor space and fun, relaxing outdoor space. We loved grilling and sitting by the fire. Lots of different things to enjoy outside. One thing that might improve the property would be curtains or shades in the basement unit.

Pleased with silver lake

The place was great! The listing did not say that the 2nd bedroom that had the bunk beds was accessed from outside. This was ok for us but I would think problematic for a family with smaller children

Beautiful Cottage

We had a wonderful stay here! The owner was very quick to reply to my questions and super helpful. Everything we needed was there! It was nice and close to Silver Lake and in a quiet neighborhood. Bonus was that it has a washer and dryer so that we could go home with clean clothes, especially helpful with young children!

Fun property near Silver Lake

The cabin itself is fine for sleeping or a couple people to hang out, but you'll love being outside on this property. Large patio in the front yard with a fire pit and a tiki bar in the back provide ample settings for having a great time. Lots of space out front for friends to bring a tent or RV if they would rather do that instead of sleeping indoors.
