We had such a wonderful stay at Silver Lake! The location was awsome with a little area for kids to swim right across the street and all the sand dune and lake Michigan beauty just a couple minutes away. We loved campfires and plenty of beds for everyone.

Perfect location

We had a wonderful time staying at this property! There were 10 of us and we never felt crowded. The location is ideal with access to upper silver lake and close proximity to the entrance of the dunes. Also very close to the main strip with Craig’s Cruisers. The kayaks were an added bonus!

Silver Lake

The property was exactly as described. Communication with the host was simple and clear. When I booked the property I had not noticed the lack of cleaning fee. Guests have the option to save money by cleaning up after themselves or paying the host to do it. The host managed this misunderstanding with fairness. I enjoyed our stay and I recommend this listing.
