About this property

Lovely property with separate private lakefront to Silver Lake + huge backyard.

We fell in love with this lovely Pure Michigan property with separate private access to Silver Lakes. It is our happy place. This summer home gives out a vibe of a chill and homey Michigan cottage. The house boasts of a large 1700 sq ft of living space and only 2 houses away from the lakefront. There is a large deck that we enjoy our meals "al fresca". There are string lights and candles that makes dinner and wine just so perfect. There is a front yard sitting area, as well as (2) separate fire pit for a large group to enjoy. One in the backyard and one by the lakefront to enjoy the sunset. There is no rental in the area that can offer the best of both world to have private access to Silver Lakes and for a group to enjoy a huge northern woods backyard. In the backyard, there is enough room to set-up nets for Volleyball, badminton, and pickleball. There is a living room and a family room if you need to have a separate play area for the kids. The dining table can accommodate 8. One of my other favorite feature of the house is the outdoor shower with hot water. Nothing like watching the dense stars above when you are showering. Our property includes a separate lakefront that has a large gazebo, fire pit, seating area and dock where you can swim in Silver Lake, launch kayak , paddleboard or other water equipment. This is a short 2 minute walk and is only for your private use. The Silver Lake State Park is a short 10 minute walk. This is an option for a beach and playground. The Little Sable Point Lighthouse is a short drive for a tour of the lighthouse or a day at the Lake Michigan beach. We have four (4) Bedrooms with queen bed per bedroom. It is advertised as sleeps 10 using a queen air mattress in the family room. Our kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need.
We also provide toiletries and towels and quality beddings. Please note for your consideration of the property.

Late Summer Getaway
Decided last minute to spend 3 days with family. Have traveled to Michigan for 30 years but have never visited the Silver Lake area. The area and the house were both hidden gems for our family. The house was very clean and had everything we needed to relax or have fun including private lakefront access a few hundred feet away from the front door. Nice kitchen with spacious counter, huge firepit, outdoor hot water shower, huge yard, and another firepit at the lake for watching beautiful sunsets. The Host Maria and the property manager Robert were both very friendly and made our check-in and checkout and our entire stay perfect.

Amazing trip!
Our family really enjoyed the house…it felt like home and was EXTREMELY clean!! The sheets and blankets smelled fresh and it smelled really clean when we walked in for the first time. There was plenty of space and the outside had a huge backyard with a really nice fire pit and a patio with a gas fire grill. It’s about five houses down from Silver Lake and is centrally located making it super convenient to get to town and the dunes! Thank you!! We’re definitely coming back next summer!!

Wonderful stay!
The yard was spacious and we enjoyed the fire pit, plenty of privacy! Plenty of parking (even for the boat trailer). Just a short walk or drive to the lake. We would definitely stay again! Plenty of room for everyone in the house and the kitchen was well stocked.

Great family vacation spot
We arrived a little early so headed to the dunes prior to check in. We couldn't have been more excited about the outdoor shower... We used it before even unlocking the door to get the sand off all the kids. Smart thing to provide! House was very clean... Honestly for as much sand that is around silver lake we didn't find any upon entering the home. Pretty amazing The house and yard fit our lifestyle. Quiet and room for young kids to roam While the water access wasn't right at your door it worked for us. We walked the few hundred feet to the water and fished (didn't catch anything but to be honest I didn't think my 7 year old would) and used the provided paddle boards and kayak a couple times on calm days. Sandy bottom and shallow. Nice perk. If we wanted water we drove to little sable point or parked at the state park and walked to silver lake and ran down the dunes into the lake. We brought our bikes and road into town for ice cream and Craig's cruisers most days. Not a bad ride. House worked well for us but we are outdoor people so really didn't spend much time inside. Kids were asking if we could come back before we got out of the driveway.

Love the area
House was wonderful! Lots of single steps between rooms which was very tricky. Outdoor shower great! Backyard area beautiful. The only disappointment was based on the info given we thought it was across from the lake. We knew we had to cross a street but we thought it was a lake view. It’s perpendicular to the lake so you have to step out to the street to see the lake and walk a short distance to get to the lake. Really close to the state park beach.

A quiet, beautiful Autumn weekend with family
Cleanliness and charm are the first words that come to mind! Our family of 6 had a perfect weekend at Silver Lake. The weather could not have been better which enabled us to enjoy the awesome backyard! Our grandkids LOVED the swing and we had a wonderful evening around the firepit. The whimsical lighting throughout the property added a magical touch! We utilized the well-equipped kitchen for an enjoyable dinner and breakfasts. The beds were comfy and the cottage was roomy enough for the 6 of us and the dog. Mid to late Oct is a great time to visit if you prefer some peace and quiet. Many places were closed but Open Hearth restaurant was open and we had the best Perch dinner there that I've had in a very long time. Bike riding on the Hart Trail was awesome! We were the only ones on the trail taking in the colors of Michigan. Hiked up some dunes to watch the sunset and went back the next day for a hike through the woods and along the River. Yup, a pretty perfect time! Maria was great to work with. Very responsive to my numerous questions before our trip. It's a short, 3 minute walk to the waterfront which would make it a nice summer destination as well.

Silver Lake
Cute place to rent. We really enjoyed our stay. Very clean. Location is great. Highly recommend using the outdoor showe at night! Both tanks of Propane ran out on the 2nd day of grilling but Maria agreed to reimburse us for the replacement. My only complaint is that to get to the waterfront area, you have to cross a road(that part isn't a big deal) and unfortunately, people don't go the speed limit so just have to be careful.

Beautiful property and great location
This home was a perfect landing spot for my family of 6, plus my parents and sister. The outdoor area was fabulous, and it was such a convenient location for many activities. The house was clean, and the hosts were generous in providing a travel crib and high chair for my 7 month old. We had a great time!

Family Vacation
The house was very clean, and spacious for the family. We also brought our boat for the week and were able to use the dock at the property. The private lot by the water was perfect for us! Only complaint from people in our party were the comfortability of the beds and that the ac was not to be set below 73. But overall, another great year at Silver Lake.

Adorable Perfection
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The house is adorable with fun & eclectic decor. And not to mention the beds are super comfy! The house was absolutely spotless, I mean the cleanliness was beyond impressive! I really appreciated all the little extras like the shampoos, conditioners, soaps, trash bags, etc. The house offers so much to do with a huge fire pit outback, lovely seating and dining on the patio, and a fabulous gazebo on the lake with a fire pit which has the most spectacular view of the fireworks, if you are lucky enough to stay there over the 4th! We enjoyed all the lawn games, card games, as well as the paddle boards and kayaks. We spent our mornings walking to the state park beach/playground and spent afternoons on the dunes!

We had a great time ! This was the first time i went through VRBO. Everything was good. Questions were answered and owners value making things a beautiful say. Only thing I would change would be the comfort with bed mattresses. They seemed to be a bit worn. Fruit flies were annoying but its just the area. Over all i would go back again.

About the host

Hosted by Maria Azada

Host profile image
My family and I enjoy being in the water and enjoying the outdoors. This is our happy place.

Why they chose this property

Pure Michigan! The Silver Lakes area is such a wonderful and beautiful place. The dunes are amazing. There is no place anywhere else in the country that can showcase such a landscape while enjoying the water life and water sports in Silver Lake. The area is surrounded by fruit orchards, wineries, breweries and hiking trails.

What makes this property unique

This property is on Silver Lake (not Upper Silver Lake). You have the benefit of endless sandy bottom of the lake. The unique benefit of this property is the accessibility to Silver Lake and the dunes plus the additional benefit of a huge private backyard to spread out and set up games of volleyball, pickle ball, etc. . There is a huge firepit for everyone to enjoy and the best spot to stargaze.
