Peaceful Place

This property is located on silver lake, near all of the wonderful silverlake things you want to do. It seems brand new, as always clean, and has what you would hope would be in a beach house. This is the second time we've stayed here and we always have a good time.

Fall Michigan trip

We travel each fall to Michigan. This was our first time going north of Saugatuck and we just loved it. The home was so adorable and the views of the lake were amazing. Had our morning coffee and evening cocktails on the back porch. Close towns we visited were Pentwater, Ludington and Manistee. Thank you for sharing your lovely home!

Traveling with Pets

We traveled to this location for the first time with our dogs. The rental was perfect. The interior of the cottage was cute and cozy. We loved the deck which is surrounded by trees and overlooks the canal to the lake. The location is near all Lake Michigan and the Silver Lake Sand Dunes. We would definitely recommend this rental and will plan to return and rent again in the future.

One of the best Memorial Day Weekends!

We had an amazing Memorial Day weekend. Played at the sand dunes LOTS, kayaked, relaxed on the porch and enjoyed quality family time. We felt right at home. We saw turtles, deer and a momma fox and her pups. Besides having everything we needed to make home cooked meals we also got to eat at our 2 favorite spots, Chicken Shack and Tasty Creations. We will definitely be back.

Great Experience

We really enjoyed our stay!! Home was very clean. Location was great. All around great experience. Excellent communication with Melissa. Absolutely love being able to bring our dog with us. Most rentals do not allow this and we were so happy for that. Already spoke with Melissa about booking for best year!

Loved it!

I really enjoyed my stay. This lakehouse had an amazing porch that I actually just sat hours on. The house came with all the necessities plus some. You can tell a lot of thought was put into your stay. The communication was amazing which made for a smooth process thru it all. The master bed was super comfy. I was thankful for the window air conditioner on the last day of my stay. Very quiet neighborhood which made for a relaxing few days. I definitely would stay here again. Super nice!!! Thank you so much!

Hidden Gem

This was the perfect vacation VRBO for a family! The pictures are spot on. Melissa did a beautiful job with the decor. Everything looks fresh and new. We brought 2 inflatable kayaks and borrowed the 2 here. Upper Silver Lake is quiet, calm, and beautiful to kayak. We enjoyed all of our meals on the covered deck, and appreciated it most when it rained. The kitchen is well stocked. Our girls loved relaxing in their hammocks, so they were overjoyed to see all of the pine trees here. The location is close enough to the Dunes and Silver Lake to make it convenient to stop back for lunch or a siesta. We absolutely would stay again. In fact, if you have any cancellations this summer, email us!

Relaxing stay

My husband, brother in-law, and in-laws stayed at this property for a family wedding nearby. The place was perfect for our stay and we didn’t want to leave! We enjoyed morning coffee on the porch and loved that we had the option of kayaking, bringing our boat, and having a bonfire. Unfortunately our stay was just one weekend so we could not enjoy the additional amenities, but we hope to be back! The window A/C units were helpful during the day and also have a fan setting, which was great for an 80degree weekend. Thanks to the wonderful hosts for being very responsive as well!

relaxing time in nature

This home is small but very functional. Our kids and their friends slept well in the one bedroom and my spouse and I had the other. We really enjoyed the porch and the sun sparkling through the trees at sunset. The kayaking and fishing were great. We enjoyed movie nights, the fire pit, and playing games around the table. I would definitely rent here again.

About the host

Hosted by Melissa Gowell

Host profile image
We live in Milford Michigan and have been enjoying the Silver Lake area for many years. Upper Silver Lake is a quiet area but close enough to all the action at Silver Lake!

Why they chose this property

We first purchased the cottage next door and have been renting it out when we aren't using it. This property became available and we decided to purchase it and build another cottage for renting and again, for personal use.
