-It is located on one of the best 70 ft. of sandy beach frontage that Silver Lake offers.

-The resort has been in existence since the 1930's when Silver Lake had only a few fishing resorts and cottages. The original owners picked prime lake sandy beach frontage to locate this resort.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Marian
My husband, Tom and I were married in 1979. We moved to Traverse City in 1980 from the city of Detroit. My mother was raised on an local farm. My maternal great grandparents were pioneers to the area. My mother moved away when she was a young adult. I developed my love for the area as a young child as we vacationed every year in Traverse City. Tom and I honeymooned in Traverse City and moved there 9 months later. We raised our 5 children in Traverse City. We discovered and purchased our small resort in 1989. It was a diamond in the rough, but it had a great private sandy beach and was in close to Traverse City. We remodeled the cottages as we raised our 5 children. We worked on the cottages as a family. Over the years, our children have learned many skills and developed a great work ethic as everyone helped over the years.
Why they chose this property
Our small 2 cottage resort offers one of the best frontages on Silver Lake. The cottages are off set from each other. Maple Grove sits back about 100 ft. from the beach with a lawn between the house and the beach. The view of the lake is unobstructed. The Willow is 10 feet from the beach on the northern part of the 70 ft. of frontage. The cottages are close to town but far enough away to leave the hubbub on the city behind.
What makes this property unique
- Our own home is located on the property. We have owned and managed the 2 cottages since 1989. We strive to provide a peaceful and enjoyable experience for our guests. We take great pride in providing clean/comfortable/updated homes that our guests will call home during their stay. You will be able to relax and enjoy your vacation as we are very available for assistance as we are here to help.
-We have an additional 30 ft. of lake frontage for our personal use. We have our seaplane docked there.
-We are available for sight-seeing advice, golf courses, nature areas and restaurant recommendations. We have maps of nearby bike, walking trails, winery/brewery brochures and places only the locals know where to go and see.
