AWESOME HOME & LOCATION - GREAT FOR GROUPS OF ALL SIZES
Searching for that one-of-a-kind vacation home on a private dead-end street that sleeps up to 15 AND provides the “elbow room” and amenities that truly pleases everyone? THIS IS IT! Welcome to Parasail Cottage in Silver Lake; a rare two-story stunner located within one of the area’s most beloved Silver Lake associations, complete with complimentary access to heated association pool, tennis courts, shuffleboard, play set, clubhouse…AND only a short walk to the Association’s 400 ft. of PRIVATE beachfront on Silver Lake!
Whether you stay a weekend, week or several, we’ve got your large group covered for play and relaxation with four bedrooms, two full baths, onsite laundry and an upstairs loft with additional sleeping quarters.
The show-stopping Great Room with full Kitchen is flooded with natural light offering the ultimate casual/cozy vibe, with sliders opening to a massive, wrap-around deck – complete with grill - and lots of flexible seating. A fire pit on the adjacent, wooded lot is the perfect stop for marshmallow roasting or dogs over the open fire.
And how is this for perfect? The two-stall “garage” is home to a large game room, complete with ping pong table, foosball, card tables and plenty of areas for relaxing – a second fridge keeps chilled refreshments nearby.
This is the place for making memories with its proximity to 2,000 + acres of Golden Dunes, proximity to Silver Lake and Lake Michigan, the Little Au Sable Lighthouse, Mac Dune Rides and so much more, with families returning year after year; limited dates available.
Please note the typical open date for the pool is the Wednesday before Memorial Day. Pool typically closes early in September.

Wonderful house - big rooms - perfect for families!
I rented this house with my extended family, 8 adults and 3 small children. It was laid out beautifully, very clean and well kept. The beds were comfortable - everyone slept well. It's a quiet location, on a private road, so no traffic to worry about with the small children. The deck is phenomenal! So much room on the deck with ample, comfortable seating and two tables -- one to eat on & one to play games on! We utilized both.
The main living area is huge & a terrific gathering place for lots of people. We spent a lot of time hanging there in the evenings just enjoying conversation and letting the little ones play.
The bathroom set up was perfect with each set of two large bedrooms on either side of a bathroom.
We cooked nearly every day and the kitchen was well stocked, all appliances worked great & got a lot of use. Coffee maker was newer and that also got a work-out with many coffee drinkers in the family.
There's a medium sized back yard that was great for corn-hole, and we had one rainy day where we utilized the ping-pong table downstairs & also played quite a few games of chess in the living room.
The Fire-Pit was large and well constructed. Plenty of space for everyone.
The pool was nice, & Little Sable Lighthouse beach was so close - we went multiple times to enjoy Lake Michigan.
Had to contact the owner regarding a few minor questions, and Mark was immediately reachable by text and very easy to work with.
Highly recommend this house.

Great Location!
This home is in a fantastic location with an easy walk to the association pool. We had 5 kids with us and they loved their time in the pool!
We had a few bumps on our first day with some minor issues around the house, but Mark was extremely responsive and went above and beyond to make sure those issues were fixed immediately. He was very pleasant & easy to work with.
We had 12 people in our group and there was definitely enough space and beds for all of us. The wrap around deck was so nice to have and there was more than enough seating outside for all of us.
We grilled on July 4th & had a bonfire and then took the 5 min walk to the private beach area for the fireworks. The beach was very nice and we had a perfect view of the fireworks from where we sat.
Overall, our family vacation was fantastic!
Thanks again for everything, Mark!

Fun Family Time at Silver Lake
Our family has vacationed at Silver Lake several times over the past years. We started taking our kid there many years ago and now enjoy taking the grand kids. With a family of 13 people, we needed a place that could accommodate that size of group. This was our first time staying at this property. The sleeping areas were perfect for our group, as was the large kitchen table and outdoor deck area. I was a bit concerned with there being only two bathrooms, but we managed that reasonably well. The proximity to the community pool and basketball court were definite positives for our group. There was really only one disappointment and that was the absence of a large gas grill. Although the pictures showed a gas grill and Webber kettle, the property manager notified us with the move in instructions that there was no longer a gas grill at the property. Cooking for a party of 13 on a Webber kettle is a bit challenging. Other similarly sized properties that we’ve stayed at all had large gas grills. The property manager was very responsive whenever we had any questions. We had no need to contact the property manager for anything during our stay. All in all we enjoyed staying here and had a great time with family.

Perfect for the long weekend getaway!
The set up was great. Very quiet neighborhood. Close to the dunes which was the point of our trip. Had some issues with the heat schedule but the owner was really quickly to help remedy. We did wish there were some better knives for food prep. There were only 3 and they were very dull.

Beautiful Home
This was a great place with more than enough beds for our group of 10. Huge fire pit and ample chairs. One was broken when we got them out but we brought our own along so we had enough for the group still. The kitchen is great, beds… were beds lol - not the most comfortable looking but nobody’s woke up hurting and that’s all that matters. The shower handle in the upstairs bathroom was missing the temp lever but it still worked - was just confusing for the first round of showers lol Overall this was a wonderful house and a great trip shared by a close group of friends. We were never able to get a response from the owner via phone, text or Vrbo messaging - but our questions were answered upon arriving to the property so no communication was really needed in the end. Would definitely stay here again. Oh, and the garage game/rec room was a nice touch :)

Family long weekend Trip
Family trip to the Dunes area. The neighborhood was quiet as mentioned in description and everything we needed was there. Some of the outdoor amenities were done for the reason which we figured would be true due to timing. We were all able to find fun things to do for the family at the Mac Dune Ride which everyone loved and climbing the Dunes. The time of year was a bit off for many of the local businesses as they close down for the off-season timeframe, but we had brought supplies with us to make meals so it was no big deal. Next time we visit the area we will definitely try to do it before the late fall time-frame so there will be more Activities for the kids. The Arcade And go-cart were still going on and the Dunes were probably in the last 2-3 wks so we got lucky there. A beautiful area to visit.
Our accommodations were what we expected, a few complaints about some of the beds and their comfy-ness and since it was cool and rainy more blankets would have been appreciated. It would have been nice if there were logs available for the outdoor fire pit because everyone enjoyed that part of the trip. We did find "some" logs for sale but it would have been nice if some were provided as it wasn't easy to find in the area. We would definitely visit again.
