The cottage was perfect for our stay and is in a great location. The house was very clean and the four season room turned into the perfect hangout spot. The coffee and s’mores bars are a great touch and the kids couldn’t wait to have a bonfire. Would recommend to anyone looking to stay in the Silver Lake area.

This property is extremely well cared for and the owners thought of everything! The location was also perfect for my large family plus 2 dogs. Tons of stuff to do in town and 25 mins from Ludington! My family and I all agree we will be renting from this property again and you should consider it for your family vacation spot as well !

The owners really thought of everything here. We felt so welcome from the stocked coffee bar to s'mores options for the kids. It was a very clean rental so close to the dunes entrance which made it more than convenient when coming and going for lunch/snacks. The outdoor area was nice and private as well. We would definitely come back!

Beautiful place. Loved the location was able to walk to sand dunes just over the hill. Even though it’s in the middle of things we felt secluded because there were no neighbors in the back. Would love to book again.

House was absolutely beautiful and had everything you could possibly need! Was warm and cozy. Beds were comfortable. Fireplaces and coffee bar were a hit for our group. Close to the dunes, and silverback speedway. Would definitely rent again and recommend to others! Thanks for letting us enjoy your home!

This beautiful home has everything you need for a fun visit to the Silver Lake State Park area! There are so many wonderful hostess touches including lots of board games, a coffee bar, and a s’mores bar to name a few. The owner was very responsive to any questions I had and the house was cleaned extra well since I have an allergy to dogs. We had a wonderful time and had everything we needed for our stay. You will love this home!

This location was perfect for our itinerary! Dune hiking, off-roading, and a day trip to Michigan’s Adventure. The home was very clean and very well supplied. The owner was very responsive with every communication. The location was great - close to the dunes and town while feeling private with a nice wooded lot. A very nice stay!

This house was amazing! The pictures do not do it justice. It is beautiful inside and out. It makes you feel like you are at home. They provide so many special treats like a smores bar, coffee, and extras of things that you may have forgotten.

Upon arriving, we were able to park our trailer at the home until our 4pm check in time. The host was gracious, and promptly responded to questions. The sun room in the front of the home was perfect for socializing, evening games, and morning coffee! The bedrooms are simple and clean each equipped with a small box fan in addition to a ceiling fan. Outdoors, there a basket of toys for both kids and pets including a small sand hill. Our stay was perfect!

The accommodations exceeded our expectations. Jennie our host had thought of everything. All we needed to bring was food. She was also very responsive to any questions and recommendations. The 4 season room was a bonus on those rainy days. Will stay again. Thank you.

Jennie's house is the perfect place to stay when visiting silver lake. Literally anything you would need or forgot to bring was there. From the layout of the house and property, fire pit, grill, parking, coffee bar, smores, fully stocked bathroom, etc... Best part was being so close to the dune entrance which was awesome for our sxs. We will 100% be back again. This place will not disappoint you.
