Very nice house and was very clean and very nice fire pit area. Spacious deck with enough chairs for everyone and great place to hang out in the early morning with a cup coffee and in the evening as well. The make up of the floor plan and the bedrooms and beds was perfect for our family. The host Ryan was great and responded to any questions we had and provided information that made the check in and check out very easy. Look forward to staying here again when we return to Silver Lake.

This home is nicer than the outdoor picture shows. It's super clean. There is plenty of space, dishes, and eating area for 12 people. The lawn is grass rather than dirt like many in this wooded area, so it's great for littles to run around and play. It is directly next to one of the compact crushed stone trails through the woods to the main Floradale area where the pool and game courts are. The trail easily has space for pulling littles on a bike trailer to get to the pool. We've been renting in the Floradale area for about 10 years, at Silver Lake for over 40 years. This spot is quieter than most, close to Floradale amenities and a short stroll to the large, seldom used, shared beach.The only downside is typical of many cottages built at this time; it is dark inside with the wood interior. However, this gives it a true Up North feel as it's decorated with a woodsy bear theme. Ryan is just a text away with any questions.

Great Location with Attentive Host

Our stay in Silver Lake did not disappoint! Ryan was a very attentive host and the house was perfect for our family. The access to the boat and the lake made for a relaxing getaway that didn’t feel rushed. The houses proximity to great food and treats was wonderful too. Would definitely recommend!

House has a nice backyard and fire pit area. You don’t see any other houses and feels private. So easy to get to the lake and put in your boat.

A great place for a family reunion

The house is very clean and has everything one may need, and even more. The neighborhood is safe and quiet. It was great to use the new fire pit and the private swimming pool, tennis courts, and table tennis. Close to Silver Lake, sand dunes, and Lake Michigan. Overall, we had a wonderful stay.

Great property. Loved the Yardzee and firepit at house. The pool was a huge hit. The kids, both teenagers and kids at heart (40+), loved how fast the slide was. Great proximity to dune rides and lighthouse. Would stay again.

Great time in Silver Lake Michigan

We enjoyed our stay at this property. Ryan quickly responded to any questions and even came by when needed. We appreciated having a variety of options for sleeping and the 3 levels of the property. We only wish we could have stayed longer to get to know everything the area has to offer.

Check-in went well after we got the lock figured out and we unlocked the opportunity to make some amazing family memories! Host was attentive to anything that came up, the house worked perfectly for us, kitchen is well stocked with supplies and super helpful to have some items for smaller children. The screen porch is great for family game time and the deck looking out over the woods is so peaceful. The firepit was relaxing to use and the couch is great for napping after a day at the beach. The local activities are lots of fun too. The whole family would like to go back!
Took a walk to the top of the lighthouse - even the 3 & 4 year old made it!

Silver Lake 2024

My family and I stayed at Silver Lake in 2012 and had a great time. In 2024, we wanted to relive that experience, and our stay did not disappoint. We had a great time catching up, swimming, playing games, and having campfires—and that was just at the property! The area offers a lot of activities for the whole family to enjoy.
