We spent 2 days and nights , the house suited our group perfectly. There is plenty of yard for dogs to run.Good view of the lake. Only 4 minutes to the dunes or town. We would stay here again and recommend to others.
Everything about our stay was perfect! The house was spacious and spotless, stocked with everything we needed, the beds were more comfy than home, and the view was absolutely gorgeous. Would stay again 100%!
This was a perfect place to just get away for a few days! The house was clean and had everything we needed and was just right for the 6 of us! Owners were very easy to work with and answered our questions in a timely manner! Would definitely stay here again and recommend to anyone!

Nice and quiet neighborhood. Beautiful surroundings. Long driveway, plenty of room to park. Easy access. Cozy and comfy house, well stocked! Great communication with owners.
What a wonderful time we had. The host were wonderful and thought of everthing! Yard games, kitchen supplies, outdoor space with a fire pit and a place to dock a boat. Close to all the Silver Lake fun but a quiet place to relax and enjoy! We would come back here without hesitation!
The house was immaculate and apparently recently remodeled as everything was in great shape. We really enjoyed the back yard with the view of the lake and fire pit - not to mention a brand new grill. Queen beds were super comfortable. Our dogs would have enjoyed a real fence in the back -- we made do.
Overall we had a good stay. The house is at a good location with easy access to the dunes. There is plenty of room for multiple vehicles. The kitchen is well equipped and overall the house was clean. We enjoyed the fire pit and outside seating.
The house technically sleeps 7, we had 8 people including 4 kids (there is an air mattress which fits in the sunroom) so it ended up being slightly cramped for us.

The owners responded to our concerns very quickly. There was an issue with the heat but they were able to get maintenance out to repair the issue quickly. For sure would rent again

Nice stay
We really enjoyed the house but there were a few upgrades/repairs that could be made. The house does not have an address number that’s easily visible so we weren’t sure if we were at the right home at first. The house looks like it’s been remodeled, which looks great but things such as the trash can being broken, the windows not opening, ceiling fan not working, the stovetop not working well among other small things were a bit of an annoyance. Other than that, it’s a cozy house to stay in and are thankful to the owners for opening their home to us.
Sherry was super helpful and responsive, and the home is so lovely and quiet. And so many fun things to do nearby! The dunes, swimming, hiking. Lovely.
The only suggestions I'd offer is that guests should be provided with a few more amenities so they don't have to pack little used items like butter, cooking oil, herbs and spices, ketchup and mustard, etc. Also it would be helpful to provide more than two each of laundry and dishwasher pods and dishwasher, and extra rolls of toilet paper. Finally, curtains in the bedrooms would do a lot to cut the light. We had two kids with us and trying to get them to go to sleep while light was coming in the window was difficult.
All in all though, we had an absolutely delightful time in a very comfortable home with many nearby attractions. Thank you!
The hosts for this property were very helpful and responsive. We enjoyed being on a private drive with minimal traffic and a nice view of the lake. The house has nice accommodations; comfy beds and a nice living room. We were not able to take advantage of the nice outdoor space due to the temperatures, but it would be lovely in the summer. The access to the lake was disappointing. We did not even attempt to try to carry our kayaks down the narrow stairway as the dock was surrounded by scummy, stagnant water. Luckily there were plenty of other areas that had easy public access. The driveway was very accommodating for our trailer and truck, the half moon shape made it very nice for maneuvering.
Very clean property on a quiet street and just a short drive to the action of Silver Lake. Appreciated being able to bring our pet and the ample parking.
Great location and perfect house for my family and I to stay in. Lots of parking and easy access. Large enough house for several people to stay comfortably. We will stay here again. Owners are easy to reach and will help with anything you might need.
The property was nice and close to everything the owners were very helpful a little tight to dock water craft though silver lake is a very fun place to visit
The location is close to the sand dunes, has a lot of parking space, and was updated and clean. We would stay again! Any questions we had were answered quickly by the hosts. Thank you!
Newly remodeled with all of the amenities needed. The location was nicely located close to gas, restaurants, grocery store and the dunes, but far enough away that you will not feel like you are in the city. Property comes with a gas grill so cook at home and save some money. Property has a three season room and allows dogs. Would stay there again if ever headed that way.
We really liked our stay here. Pros: Towels were very nice. We felt safe there. It was convenient to what we wanted to do & was spacious for us. Cons: mbr bed was too high to get in & out of, door to mbr room very hard to close, mbr bathroom door wouldn’t close either, dishwasher soap dispenser did not dispense soap, sofa was hard to get out of, blinds would not lift up, & limited cell phone coverage, which was probably a blessing in disguise.
