Perfect Little Getaway
Love staying here. Unlike other rentals I've stayed at, this cottage has all the things we needed for the week. Mary has thought through every detail. She even includes some nice gifts from local vendors. The street is quiet. My son loved playing on the swing set and at the beach. It's an easy drive to shopping or downtown. We will stay again!

Third stay at this property
We've stayed here 3 times now and have enjoyed each visit. The cottage is cute, very clean and Mary has done a great job of making sure you have everything you need. The area is quiet but just a short drive into Traverse City. We enjoyed walking down to the lake to see the sunset. We highly recommend this cottage!

nice experience to stay here for vacation
My whole family agree that this is a very convenient location and very lovely house to stay. The owner even left a toy guitar in the house for my 3 years old boy who loved it so much. We had a great time staying in the house and took great family pictures by the silver lake which just 1 minute walk from the house. Will definitely recommend this to our friends.

The cutest little cottage
Cute and cozy! Loved all the amenities by the lake and wished I would have booked a few more days out there. The owner was great to communicate with and responded quickly to any questions I had. Rated the cleanliness slightly lower only because we saw dead bugs in the shower when we arrived. Hard to avoid bugs, in general, up north!

Mary made sure we had everything we needed! When we arrived, were surprised by gift cards to buy yummy treats at area establishments, as well as a half pound of fudge from Murdocks. We especially appreciated the air conditioning unit she brought in for us, as it was a very hot week. I wouldl highly recommend staying here!

Absolutely perfect!
The cottage was absolutely perfect for our visit to Traverse City for the Bayshore Marathon. Beautiful accommodations with very short walk to the beach with shared space of gazebo, fire pit, sandy beach, docks, etc etc. The cottage was well stocked with just what we needed, beautiful, comfortable furnishings, extremely clean and outdoor spaces. The only thing that would have made it better was if we’d planned to stay longer! Thank you for the welcome basket - such a sweet touch!

Perfect little cottage!
We loved our stay at Silver Lake! There is so much to do in the area, and although it was cold and rainy most of our trip, we still had a great time. The kids absolutely loved swimming in the lake (the slide and all the beach toys were a hit!). We were kind of bummed the paddle boat wasn’t available, but not a huge deal. We rented kayaks and had them delivered, and being out on the lake was our favorite part of the trip. The cottage is cute, very clean, has everything you need, and in a perfect location. We would definitely come back!

Why they chose this property

Have you ever wanted to go back to that time when you were a kid and relive an awesome memory? This cottage brings back the fond memories of my grandmothers summer cottage at a lake near Ann Arbor, MI. I have the BEST summer memories of lazy days and fun with my family away from the city (Detroit). This cottage brings those memories back to life for me. I'm hoping that you and your family/friends can create some of those same memories while staying with us!
