Amazing sunsets and views
We really enjoyed experiencing a 'Pure Michigan' weekend at this home, which had amazing views of Lake Michigan and gorgeous sunsets each night. The only thing that was somewhat inconvenient was that the entire town of Silver Lake shuts down at 10:00 pm - as long as you are prepared for that you will be fine, but we had planned to get a pizza after going to the winery for live music Friday eve (highly recommend that by the way) because the Silver Pointe General Store was listed online as open until 11:00 but didn't answer their phone after 10:00. Then even when they are open until 10:00 they don't take pizza orders after 8:15 (?????) - so be prepared for this sleepy town and have food on hand where you are staying!

Family Vacation
We had a fantastic stay! The house is gorgeous! The property was perfect for my large family. We just loved sitting on the front porch watching the boats during the day and the stars at night!

Neighborhood is not friendly
We had a group of 8 people and a child. The location and house are great. It is so close to Silver Lake and Michigan Lake. However, we had the issue with neighbors. When we came, the neighbor next to the door complained that we left our vehicle on the line between his property and the property that we rented. We moved our vehicle much close to the house as it was possible. Later ,the policeman came to the property and said the neighbors made a report of disruptive behavior such as driving 4-wheelers around the neighborhood. It was around 9 pm. Next day morning , we had breakfast at 10 am on the deck and turned on music. The owner of the house we rented and Evolve team contacted to me afternoon that a few neighbors complained about loud music. The owner asked me keep the noise outside down , especially in the evening. In my opinion, we didn’t listen music loud and made a noise . In short , we had a stressful weekend instead of enjoying a couple days off.
