Silver Lake is a beautiful location and having cabins to rent on the lake side is pretty special. The cabins are old and rather quirky, but you can over look some inconveniences, like luke warm water, missing chairs for dining, no plugs in the sinks and even a mouse in your room. But when we checked in they charge me for the room even though I had paid for it . I had to find my credit card bill to show I had paid for the room. Once I showed them my credit card statement they refunded the money they charged me. On the second day of our 3 day stay they came to our cabin at 11:00am to check that we were staying another night. I said we were there for another night.Then at 1:30pm they came and said we had to move to another cabin and they gave us an hour to move out. They said that our booking was for 2 nights in 1 cabin and a third night in a different cabin which wasn't stated in our reservation. Moving without any prior notice was very disturbing and put a damper on the rest of our stay. I won't be returning and I won't be recommending this lodge.

Dirty and has pest problems

I booked three nights in a cabin. Upon arrival, I saw how rustic the cabin really was. The floors were dirty. There’s no hot water in the sinks. The heat didn’t work despite the nighttime low being in the 40s Fahrenheit. In the morning, I woke up and took a shower. The whole cabin was filled with toxic propane fumes from the on-demand hot water heater which exhausts straight into the living area. While I was out exploring, the kitchen trash can was raided by rodents who spread the contents around the kitchen and left droppings. While getting ready for bed, I saw a huge cockroach walk up the bedroom wall and disappear into the ceiling. After another cold night, I woke up early and decided that I couldn’t stand any more time here. I checked out at 9:30 am and spoke to the manager. He insisted that there was nothing he could do to offer me any sort of refund, not even for my unused 3rd night. I recommend avoiding this place.
