Our family just loved this log cabin! It is in a secluded wooded location but very close to Silver Lake (only a 6 minute drive). The cabin is very clean and has plenty of towels and bedding. The kitchen is well stocked and has a built-in water filter. Our family enjoyed using the front porch swing, hammock, and fire pit. Communication with the host was very smooth and the check-in process was very easy, Only three members of our family were able to stay at the cabin on this visit, but the cabin could easily sleep 10 people comfortably. My husband and I are planning on staying at this cabin next summer with our whole family ( 9 people). We don't have any grandchildren yet, but the cabin has a highchair, baby swings, children books, and board games. We would highly recommend staying at this log cabin!

The New log cabin on 3 acres was very nice. Very cozy feeling, they had everything we needed, air conditioning was greatly appreciated, we had a campfire in the fire pit and roasted marshmallows, used the outdoor shower which was really nice. There were 6 of us in our group and if the owners ever get a chance, adding a half bath would help quite a lot. One bathroom is pretty hard especially if you actually had 10 people. We came all the way from CO to visit with family, knowing there was no wifi, but there is also almost no cell service, which we did not know. It was really hard to pull up maps to get to the family gatherings we had to get to. I know there are some paper maps, but it is really hard to find stuff; restaurants, other towns, without Google Maps. So while we didn't need wifi, it would be nice since the cell service is so bad in that area. Otherwise I would recommend this propery for the coziness and quietness of the area and the cabin is super cute. Very nice!

Weekend retreat

We couldn’t ask for a better place to stay for our weekend at the sand dunes! The cabin is lovely, clean, and centrally located. The owners even provided firewood for our camp fire at night! It’s 5-stars for sure!

The cabin was in a great location! It allowed us privacy to enjoy the peace and quiet of the wooded area, but it also allowed us access to the Dunes and lakes within minutes. It was very relaxing.

Awesome cabin in Silver Lake

Loved the privacy of the area! Close to all the attractions but could enjoy the quietness of the cabin. Well stocked and comfortable! The hammock was great and loved the loft. Ate at the Open Hearth restaurant that was recommended and it was great! Owners were extremely accommodating with our needs. Would love to stay there again!

Nice Clean secluded Cabin close to everything!

My husband and I, our 4 children, and my parents stayed in this great Cabin for our Labor Day weekend. It's close to the Silver Lake Sand Dunes, Craigs Cruisers, Beach, etc- but yet in it's own quiet wooded setting! Very clean and comfortable. Had everything we needed in the kitchen and by the fire pit! Even had Smore's roasters! The kids LOVED the loft area. Would definitely rent again!

Wonderful stay! We didn't want to leave! Cozy and secluded which was perfect for our family with little kids. We could let the kids run around outside early morning while making breakfast and not worry about waking any neighbors up. We appreciated the stocked house of toilet paper, paper plates, plastic utensils, etc. Everything we needed was there. Even including fans and pack n plays. Only thing we wished was that the door and window downstairs had a curtain or blind. It was slightly more difficult to put babies down for naps but it was doable. House was extremely clean! Thank you for the great stay!

Hidden Paradise

This cabin is nestled down a wooded lane and is absolutely perfect for your getaway to Silver Lake! We spent our days riding at the dunes and enjoyed our evenings back at the cabin around the firepit. We truly felt like we were in the middle of nowhere and it was perfect! Communication surpassed our expectations. Although it was only 4 adults we had in the cabin, this place is perfect for families with kids! We kept saying how much fun our kids would have had there. Don't hesitate booking this place, it's everything you could need!

Perfect location

This was the perfect cozy cottage in the woods. Lots of room for our trailers and riding stuff. Relaxing environment for everyone. Only surprises on our part was no tv or washer/dryer. Looking back at posting that was my bad. I assumed these items based on other rentals we have stayed in. But indeed they are not listed. Overall a great stay.

Beautiful Cabin - close to Silver Lake and Lake Michigan

This cabin is amazing! We initially had a group of 6, and our daughter's boyfriend surprised her with a proposal while we were here, so that made a couple days of 7 people. There was PLENTY of sleeping space for everyone, and all of the beds are really comfortable! The kitchen is well stocked for dishes you need to prepare meals. There was plenty of toilet paper, paper towels, napkins, paper plates, which was great! The outside shower is amazing! We were all fighting over using it instead of the one inside! We made great use of the hammocks and chairs outside, as well as the fire pit. It was nice having a break from TV and WiFi, as well. The hosts were always quick to answer any questions I had. I would highly recommend staying in this cabin! There is so much to do in Western Michigan, and this is the perfect place to stay to see it all!

Nice cabin but won’t be returning

Pros: Plenty of places to sleep, clean, well stocked, great location Cons: no wifi or tv (both were not listed on description so my fault not noticing), linens in primary bedroom were stained, biggest issue was when we took a shower the whole cabin would smell like rotten eggs (sulfar) and didn’t feel like we got clean with the water because of the smell. My kids had skin reactions to it. Owners indicated it was from well water but from what I read can be corrected. This is the main reason we wouldn’t return.

More than we expected & want to go back already!

WHO: Two married couples each with one young daughter (20 months and 30 months old) stayed during our reservation. DURATION: We reserved the place for 4 days and 3 nights but sadly had to miss the first 24 hours of our reservation due to a family emergency. So we stayed for 3 days 2 nights. During which time the six of us couldn't have been happier. WHY WE LOVED IT: First let me start off by stating what my wife finds most important: cleanliness. This cabin was spotless. Mattress pads, floors, bathroom, kitchen, etc. It was all much cleaner than most hotels we've stayed at. She couldn't have been more excited (and comfortable). Now for what I find important: seclusion. Though there were times we could faintly hear nearby neighbors, we always felt secluded and private. We were able to enjoy the outdoors at the property while grilling, having a fire, laying in the hammock, or simply watching our little ones play in the sand right off of the porch. It was very peaceful and I couldn't have asked for a better layout of the property. Not once did we see another vehicle on that road (other than the cleaning crew as we were leaving). THINGS WE DID DURING OUR STAY: Grilled food, hung out at the property, visited Lake Michigan, visited Silver Lake, and carried little ones up the dunes. Not much but it was perfect for us. THINGS WE DIDN'T DO: Pretty much everything else. We will wait until the girls are a bit older before taking guided tours on the dunes. We don't own our own ORVs but this property would accommodate them very well. We didn't visit many local shops/restaurants. But really all of these things we didn't do are just more reasons to come back to this cabin again. And we sure hope to soon. FUTURE TRIPS: For each of us, this was our first time renting a cabin and we are already talking about renting this one out for a weekend each year if we can. My wife even wants to relocate her upcoming girls family weekend reunion here. FINAL WORDS: If you're reading reviews because you're considering renting a place for a while--rent this one. You won't regret it. Just please don't rent it when we want it ;)

Great place to disconnect

The property is nestled in the woods. There is no WIFI and no T.V. so you completely disconnect. I didn't know this when I booked so it was a surprise, especially to the 6 teenagers we had with us. This made it difficult to google restaurants to eat and directions to get around. Once you drive off the property you can find service about a mile down the road. It was a great cabin though. The girls had their space in the loft and the boys in the basement. My husband and myself of course took the bedroom. The cabin is fully stocked with pots, plates, cups ect. waffle iron was a bonus. There is no dishwasher so everyone had to pitch in and wash their own dishes. The sand was a little messy but we knew this before renting, bigger outdoor/indoor mats would be useful. The beds were comfy and the home is clean. Property is beautiful!

About the host

Hosted by Brian & Lori Aeschliman

Host profile image

Brian and Lori Aeschliman are the owners of this beautiful cabin. Brian is a machinist by trade and an avid builder. We started this cabin project 14 years ago by taking this cabin apart near our home in Ohio and sanding every log and putting it back together again at the Sand Dunes, one of our family's favorite vacation spots. With the help of other dune friends and family we've built this cabin.
It has been an adventure and has turned out really awesome, We always have a week that the friends that helped put this up are invited to come and enjoy it with us. There has been a lot of fun and many friendships started up north. The boys love to drive their latest creation that they've made on the dunes Like trophy trucks, dune buggies Jeeps etc. And the girls love to go out to the beach and catch the rays.We feel blessed that we've had the opportunity to work and play together on this project.

Why they chose this property

This was the perfect spot for us Since there is a lot of action close to us but yet we can get away from it all in just 1 short mile.

What makes this property unique

Seclusion if you want and a lot of action not far away.
