Relaxing getaway

The house was clean, well stocked, and comfortable. We had a lovely time hanging around, and on the boat. The fish were biting and the lake was not too busy to pull the kids on the tube. Frank, the host, was quick to reply with any questions we had during our stay. Will definitely consider another visit!

Wonderful time on Big Silver

The lake was amazing - clean and able to fully recreate! The lake was busy on the weekend, but slowed down during the week. Great view from the deck - a lot of steps to get down to the water front which was not an issue for us. The home had everything we needed! We all had a wonderful time! Thank you, Frank, for letting us enjoy your place.

Fantastic week at this home. . . . AGAIN!

Our family stayed here for our summer reunion 2022 and loved it. We returned for 2023 and it felt like returning to our home away from home. There were eight of us, and the house met our needs again beautifully. Frank is friendly and responsive, making sure our arrival and home access went smoothly. Instructions for access to the house, boat and garage are clear and easy to follow. The kitchen is really well-stocked for cooking and serving bigger groups. From the deck overlooking the lake, the view is stunning. We spent the majority of our time on the deck enjoying the scenic view, or down on the dock swimming and paddle boarding. We rented the pontoon boat available with the house, and it adds an awesome outdoor sitting area when parked on the dock. Of course, the pontoon boat also allowed us access to all of beautiful Silver Lake and we enjoyed being out on the water every day. Highly recommend to other groups.

Great Place!

Great place and location. Fantastic view of the lake. The deck was great and the dock was perfect. The house was well stocked with essentials. Our only concern is the floors had some level/bump issues for people with balance issues.

Wonderful lake house with great view of Big Silver Lake

My family enjoyed our stay immensely. The house is nicely updated and has great Lake access and a wonderful water view right off the deck of the house. Great hosts greeted us on arrival. You will have all the comforts of home as the kitchen is super well equipped and in great working order and plenty of seating for family meals, games and relaxing. We rented the pontoon for a special treat. We’ll be back!

Beautiful retreat for family reunion

Our family had a stellar week here. The house is more spacious than the pictures suggest, making it a comfortable place for 11 people to share. Immediately it felt like home away from home. Well stocked kitchen, with plenty of bedding and towels. The deck overlooking Silver Lake provides the perfect outdoor living room and scenic view of the lake. Easy lake access down switchback stair case. We rented a pontoon boat and it served as a floating living room right on the water, offering great family social time tethered at the dock and out on the lake. We all agreed this house on this lake made for a magical family bonding week. A place we would gladly return to.

Summer Vacation

While this is an older cottage, it has all you need to enjoy your time at the lake. The view of the lake from the deck is great. The area is good for older children and adults as there is not a beach for little ones to play on. The owner has steps into the lake to make easy access. The lake does get deep fast so great for swimming and floating. Because we enjoy the water, we have our own floats and rafts but it appeared like there was plenty of water toys supplied by the owner. The owner was very responsive to any question and concerns we had and immediately responded to us. Thanks Frank.

Everything we hoped for!

What a wonderful week on Big Silver Lake. That view was fantastic! We lucked out and, although it was raining upon our arrival, the weather was pristine for the remainder of the week which made our pontoon rides and time in the water, highlights of the week. This property was just as described; well stocked, and very comfortable for our large family. I loved the comfy furniture in the living area, ample seating for all of us to enjoy lounging and movie watching. The second refrigerator in the garage was super helpful too. Great hosts, Frank and Mary, helped this week go off without a hitch!

Weekend stay

This place was perfect for our weekend stay. It was tastefully decorated and it had multiple bed rooms, two bathrooms, and a spacious living area/kitchen. The deck outside was a bonus. My only grief is the $1500 security deposit that I had to prepay on booking. Like other Vrbos, there is a better way to manage this and have it taken out the week before and released the week after.

Nice short getaway close to home

The lake and the view were great. It was a long walk down many stairs to get down to the lake. If someone had problems walking, it would be a difficult place to stay. However, we enjoyed kayaking and fishing. The weather was perfect for a day in late September. The deck was a nice place to sit and have coffee.
