About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Great fall rates, covered patio, spacious fire pit patio, luxury cottage.

Pool is open Memorial Day through 2nd week of September.

Our newest vacation rental property is ready for the 2023 season! This is our 3rd house. We recently sold one to build this property. That house we owned for 9 years and I have a 5 star rating on VRBO. My other property is next to this house and has over 50, 5 star reviews. This house may be new but our reputation for providing unparalleled service and accommodations is not.

So why our place? I have been coming to Silver Lake for 40 years. It is a special place to me for many reasons and my memories span from being a kid to now sharing this place with my kids. I am in this business because I want to help others make lasting memories. We are excited to host you and are honored you’ve taken the time to view our property!

This spacious 5 bedroom 3 bathroom house sits next to our current house VRBO listing 3969155 which is a 4bd 2ba. We designed the new house to hold a multi family vacation within the new house or spread across both homes. The new home can accommodate both houses under one roof for meals.
5 bedroom 3 bath house sleeps 14
4 bedroom 2 bath house sleeps 10-12

Please let me know if you want a quote for both houses.

Our properties are available during the busy summer months on a weekly basis...rental is Friday to Friday. Outside of the summer we offer stays with a minimum of 2 nights. Memorial and Labor Day require 3 nights.

This property features 5 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, 2 living rooms and a large eat-in kitchen. This house will sleep 14-16 people. 14 in bedrooms and 2 on a queen size sleeper sofa.

My favorite part of this house is the large covered patio which can seat 16 people. A large outdoor ceiling fan will keep you cool and the roof will keep you dry! Patio lights will be strung to create a great ambiance. Off the patio to the right will be a large Weber grill and off the patio to the left will be stairs to the fire pit. The best of MI summer evenings are spent around a fire pit.

The main floor opens up with lockers in the foyer leading you down a hall which connects the 2 main floor bedrooms with king memory foam mattresses and a large 12x6 bathroom. The open floor plan will have a large kitchen, stainless steel appliances, quartz counters with island seating for 4. The dining area has a handmade table and bench seating for 10. The first of two living rooms will have spacious seating and a 65” smart TV.

The upstairs has 2 bedrooms and a bathroom and is the perfect space for kids of any age. In one of the closets there is a hide-a-way that is perfect for kids to play in.

In the basement there are 9’ walls, a bedroom with a queen bed, large bathroom with laundry area and a large family room with attached game room.

We have been in business for 9 years and have amassed 50 reviews on one house equalling 4.9 stars and our 1st house had 54 reviews equaling 5.0 stars (we sold this in 2021). We pride ourselves on providing industry leading customer service! We treasure our memories at Silver Lake and want you to as well. Our houses are fully stocked, meticulously maintained and professionally cleaned by our staff of 7+ years. When making vacation plans we make your job easy and everyone will compliment you on your choice of vacation rental. We welcome you to see why guests have been staying with us consecutively for 9 years.

Family Event in the area
Property owner was quick to answer questions prior to our stay. Our time was busy with a planned family wedding but such a peaceful quiet setting to enjoy. Toy room was a surprise bonus for my great grandson and the swings in the yard were enjoyed frequently.

Stop looking! Stay here!
I have stayed at many rental properties across the world over the list 10+ years and this is one of my top favorites. The house was a great size for 9 of us - comfy beds, 3 full baths with plenty of towels, kitchen well stocked with more appliances, cutlery, and dishware than I've ever had at any other rental property, and a big full basement. It was cold but the kids still hiked, and played outside. Definitely a summer home town. Ryan was very responsive to all my questions, great communicator and friendly. I definitely recommend this property if it fits all your needs because I would definitely stay here again!

Michigan Memorial
I have to say the two houses we rented which were owned by the same person and next door to each other were just PERFECT for our family memorial get together!!! Space was great, area was great and everything host provided worked for all of us. A great big thank you to the host also for allowing all of our group to check in early. Everyone agreed this was the perfect place to meet and enjoy the time together, and if in the future we were to need places like this we would return to this rental.

Fantastic House
Our family just LOVED IT. There was plenty of room for 7 Adults and 5 Children. The grandkids especially loved the swinging pool. The adults really enjoyed the Fire Pit. There were many things to do in the area; such as Mac Woods Dune Rides, Silver Lake and the sand dunes, Lake Michigan, etc. We will be back!

Sable cottage - What a perfect spot!
We recently had a stay at the Sable Cottage and it was amazing! Right from the start, there was enough room for our entire family to spread out and get comfy. Grilling is a big thing for us, and that Weber grill was top-notch. It was clean and new, and the meals we cooked were amazing! When we wanted to just chill, the covered patio was the spot. Everyone had a place to sit, and we spent a lot of time there just talking and hanging out. Inside, the cottage felt warm and welcoming. The decor was tasteful and added to the whole vacation vibe. One of our favorite discoveries was the closet packed with toys and books – the kids loved it! The pontoon access was perfect. Such a fun addition to our trip! It gave us a chance to explore the lake and spend time anchored up on the silver lake sand dunes. Evenings were special too. With the large firepit, we had some great family moments, roasting marshmallows and making s'mores. We also had some very competitive foosball matches in the basement. All in all, Sable Cottage felt like the perfect family getaway. Clean, fun, and with so many thoughtful touches. We've made memories to last a lifetime. Highly recommend ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Family vacation hideaway
This is a fantastic, well appointed property, tucked away in a quiet little spot. The grandchildren enjoyed the pool, Silver Lake, and Lake Michigan. They had fun on the dune ride, horseback riding, and a long day at Michigan Adventure. The weather was great so we didn't have to resort to local indoor attractions but, there seem to be plenty around. The quiet streets were good for walking and bike riding. The barbecue, campfire pies, and s'mores were awesome. It was a great week for making family memories that are the kind you want to hold onto - in large part, because of the property. Thanks Ryan.

Pleasant stay in Silver Lake area
The host Ryan made this an enjoyable stay. The check-in was easy and the small things we needed he quickly responded to that day. Given the proximity to Silver Lake Dunes and the many ORVs that occupy the area during the summer my family and I were surprised by just how quiet the spot was during the majority of our stay. The home was well built and as someone who has lived in the Michigan area a bit I can say it was well thought out and there was nice functional touches I appreciated throughout the home particularly when comparing to other homes in Michigan. Perhaps the nicest touch (that many have already mentioned) was the fire pit area which was well thought out and the ~14 chairs surrounding meant that the family could all be around the fire in the evenings. I would recommend this location to any small groups that would like to visit Silver Lake area.

Perfection in a home
Our family has been meeting our other extended families in Silver Lake for over 40 years. We were honored to be one of the first guests to stay at this property. We had three generations at the home, and it was perfectly appointed and designed for everyone. The visual aesthetics of the home are warm and welcoming, but that did not overshadow the functionality. Our favorite part of the home was the outdoor patio — perfect for enjoying beautiful evenings, having meals and playing games. The kitchen allowed us to easily make and have quick clean up of fabulous dinners. And Ryan, our host, is flexible and available to answer any questions before and during our stay. We’ve already booked this home away from home for next year!

Awesome Family Fun Week
Once again this property owner provided everything we needed for a great family fun week. The area is full of things to do for all ages. This house is set up perfectly for multiple families and ages and met all of our needs. There is a beautiful patio where our craft projects were completed near a great fire pit. As always Silver Lake does not disappoint. Would highly recommend this property.

Great Property
I booked this property for my families. I had brother and sister in law with their 4 kids. My wife and I and our daughter, My mother and father in law and my parents. We had a full house with lots of room for 13 guests. There are 3 different floors. They have 2 upstairs bedrooms with I believe 9 beds. This is where the kids will sleep. Main floor has 2 bedrooms. Basement also has a room. Each of the 3 floors has a bathroom so no one has to walk far to get to the bathroom at night. They also have 2 washer and dryers. Nice place in the woods. Nice outdoor patio seating. This house had the best bonfire I have ever seen in my life. It was the best part of the trip besides riding a 4 wheeler in the dunes, and the tram dune ride. They have a pool that is about a 5 minute walk from the house. Lake Michigan is a close drive I believe about 2 miles. They have a craigs cruisers along with go-karts nearby for the kids. And of course silver lake is known for jet skiing and riding vehicles in the dunes. Great trip for sure. The only complaint I have is that it rained the last night and we didn't get our bonfire that night :)

This was our second time renting from Ryan, but this time was in the new house. We had a great experience in the house and with the owner. The house had plenty of space for the 12 people we had. The kids loved the bunk bedrooms and the play room. We will be back next year!
