Family dunes annual trip

This was a great house to stay in and the location was good. Was close to the silver lake sand dunes which is why we come up here. Was able to park my trailer in the driveway without a problem. This is a great place to stay at and would come back again. Thank you

My son was married at the Heritage Wedding Barn and we got this property for that reason. It was only like 6 minutes away so this was perfect! We were very pleased with the house and property. Very well maintained and clean. The house inside is very light and airy and just has a good feel. Lots of room in and out. Nice patio and also outdoor area in back that is well lit. The owners Rachel and Paul were extremely helpful and always got back to me right away when I had questions. If we ever go back to the area we would definitely get this house again. It was just perfect for us.

Perfect!

My family and I just stayed for 5 nights, ages ranging from 9 months to 71 years old. The space was fantastic, and we loved having separate living spaces/plenty of room to spread out and hang out. Two people in our group also brought their 5th wheel and there was plenty of room in the driveway for it (42 ft). The location is unbeatable and the hosts were always friendly and prompt when responding to us (no issues, just several inquiries to plan for our stay). The house was clean and we felt very comfortable during our visit. We would stay again in a heartbeat!

Great stay, as advertised

Great property. We had a family of 5. The adults stayed upstairs, the kids had a whole downstairs to themselves. Perfect! Plenty of room, great dining table on main floor for playing games. We did not use the outside, but there was a nice porch off the front for coffee in the morning and a firepit out back. I also had a large (28') enclosed trailer for our toys and it was very easy to back in and get out of the driveway. All around a great place and we would definitely stay again if we come back to Silver Lake!

Great trip

We had an excellent stay at the Silver Lake Custom Cottage. It was more spacious then we thought, and it was the best equipped VRBO we have stayed in. We loved being able to bring our furry friends for their first dunes adventure. We come up at least once every summer and will definitely stay here again.

Great for a family getaway

The house was awesome and conveniently located from the downtown area, Mac Dune Rides, the lighthouse & Lake Michigan beach. There was plenty of room with my son's wife and 2 grandkids having their own space in the basement while the rest of us occupied the first and second floor bedrooms. Lot's to do and see in the Silver Lake area. Awesome trip!!
