About this property

Lovely property with separate private lakefront to Silver Lake + huge backyard.

We fell in love with this lovely Pure Michigan property with separate private access to Silver Lakes. It is our happy place. This summer home gives out a vibe of a chill and homey Michigan cottage. The house boasts of a large 1700 sq ft of living space and only 2 houses away from the lakefront. There is a large deck that we enjoy our meals "al fresca". There are string lights and candles that makes dinner and wine just so perfect. There is a front yard sitting area, as well as (2) separate fire pit for a large group to enjoy. One in the backyard and one by the lakefront to enjoy the sunset. There is no rental in the area that can offer the best of both world to have private access to Silver Lakes and for a group to enjoy a huge northern woods backyard. In the backyard, there is enough room to set-up nets for Volleyball, badminton, and pickleball. There is a living room and a family room if you need to have a separate play area for the kids. The dining table can accommodate 8. One of my other favorite feature of the house is the outdoor shower with hot water. Nothing like watching the dense stars above when you are showering. Our property includes a separate lakefront that has a large gazebo, fire pit, seating area and dock where you can swim in Silver Lake, launch kayak , paddleboard or other water equipment. This is a short 2 minute walk and is only for your private use. The Silver Lake State Park is a short 10 minute walk. This is an option for a beach and playground. The Little Sable Point Lighthouse is a short drive for a tour of the lighthouse or a day at the Lake Michigan beach. We have four (4) Bedrooms with queen bed per bedroom. It is advertised as sleeps 10 using a queen air mattress in the family room. Our kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need.
We also provide toiletries and towels and quality beddings. Please note for your consideration of the property.

End of summer Family trip

Nice size for our family of 7, close to all the attractions we wanted to visit. Large outdoor spaces with plenty of seating. We cooked at the house all 3 nights of our stay, only disappointment was the gas tanks for the grill and fire table were empty after our 1st night.

Great location, Attention to Detail Needed

We enjoyed the property and especially the location. There are multiple steps up and down at various door thresholds that make it a little tough for the very young or old. Some details needed to be tended to, and we brought these attention to the owner.

Bronco Takeover

Property owner very accommodating and prompt response to any needs. Home is very cute and has lots of cottage character. We would suggest bringing your own fan if you need cooler temperatures for sleeping. We LOVED having the beach access and sat there every night after being on the dunes and car show during the daytime. We already booked to come back next year!

Great Family Vacation

Our family met here for a three night stay and it did not disappoint. It was immaculate and my grandchildren loved fishing off of the dock. The home was very clean and the kitchen was stocked the best of any rental we have been to. The host promptly answered any questions by calling us personally and the property manager personally delivered life jackets once we requested the paddle boards be available for use. The only down side I can think of is the chairs down at the beach were cracked but it wasn’t a problem as we had brought our own. We would definitely stay here again!!!

Great location, huge private yard, beautiful, clean home

We loved our stay at Steve and Maria’s - it was perfect for enjoying the holiday weekend with our family. Their outdoor space was especially nice - lots of options for seating, having a fire, grilling, or swinging in the hammock - and the lake is at the end of the street!

Wonderful stay!

The yard was spacious and we enjoyed the fire pit, plenty of privacy! Plenty of parking (even for the boat trailer). Just a short walk or drive to the lake. We would definitely stay again! Plenty of room for everyone in the house and the kitchen was well stocked.

not handicap accessible

I put caution tape on the floors, didn't want anyone tripping although most of us did, no one was hurt, would have been nice if there was a latter on the dock. we arrived after there was a bad storm, house was ok no damage, however the cushions were left out when we got there and took two days to dry out. the house was cute and we did enjoy ourselves, We made the best of it.

Beautiful home & Great Location

The home was amazing! It is in the perfect location with lots of space. The home is tastefully decorated and we felt right at home. Your a 2 min walk from the beach where you have private access and a dock. When you want to get away from the lake there is a huge back yard and outdoor seating area. It is the perfect mix of the lake/woods life. The hosts were great to work with and the gentleman who manages the property was amazing as well. 5 star stay for sure!

Amazing trip!

Our family really enjoyed the house…it felt like home and was EXTREMELY clean!! The sheets and blankets smelled fresh and it smelled really clean when we walked in for the first time. There was plenty of space and the outside had a huge backyard with a really nice fire pit and a patio with a gas fire grill. It’s about five houses down from Silver Lake and is centrally located making it super convenient to get to town and the dunes! Thank you!! We’re definitely coming back next summer!!

Great Place to build Memories

WOW, this place was a gem. Couldn't have asked for a better experience with my family and friends to build memories with our kids. The location was great being just off one of the main roads and having direct access to the waterfront with a fire pit on the water as well as one behind the home which is much more open and private than you'd expect. The property was very clean and the check in process was a breeze. Maria and Steve were very open and easy to work with. I cannot wait to stay here again in the future hopefully on our yearly vacation to Silver Lake. I do not have any negative comments about this property or our stay!!

Love the area

House was wonderful! Lots of single steps between rooms which was very tricky. Outdoor shower great! Backyard area beautiful. The only disappointment was based on the info given we thought it was across from the lake. We knew we had to cross a street but we thought it was a lake view. It’s perpendicular to the lake so you have to step out to the street to see the lake and walk a short distance to get to the lake. Really close to the state park beach.

About the host

Hosted by Maria Azada

Host profile image
My family and I enjoy being in the water and enjoying the outdoors. This is our happy place.

Why they chose this property

Pure Michigan! The Silver Lakes area is such a wonderful and beautiful place. The dunes are amazing. There is no place anywhere else in the country that can showcase such a landscape while enjoying the water life and water sports in Silver Lake. The area is surrounded by fruit orchards, wineries, breweries and hiking trails.

What makes this property unique

This property is on Silver Lake (not Upper Silver Lake). You have the benefit of endless sandy bottom of the lake. The unique benefit of this property is the accessibility to Silver Lake and the dunes plus the additional benefit of a huge private backyard to spread out and set up games of volleyball, pickle ball, etc. . There is a huge firepit for everyone to enjoy and the best spot to stargaze.
