Stayed for a few days, in from Texas.

Check in was a breeze. Property was as billed from ads. We arrived around Thanksgiving, it began to snow and the views were made even more spectacular. Would rent again and recommend to those looking for something cozy on the water or anything Traverse City

Family Vacation

We had a great time at Silver lake. The dock and beach access were wonderful! Our family loved it. The house had everything we needed for a lovely home away from home. We have two little kids, so we didn't need a lot of space. It might be a tight squeeze with more then 2 adults. It was clean and well maintained.

20th Anniversary Trip

A lovely cottage on a beautiful lake. We had a wonderfully comfortable stay with easy access to Silver Lake, Traverse City, Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, and close enough to drive to Mackinac Island! It was great to relax at this cottage after a busy day of exploring. Highly recommend!

About the host

Hosted by Katie Kinney

Host profile image
Matt & I (Katie!) purchased Silver Lake Cottage in the spring of 2020, so we could be part of bringing families and friends to a peaceful retreat at a place that is close to our hearts, Silver Lake!

Our family loves spending time on Silver Lake, and it's our desire to create a space where families want to come back to enjoy, year after year.

Why they chose this property

Matt is a third generation Silver Lake resident! Matt, both of his parents, and his grandparents were all raised on Silver Lake. Silver Lake Cottage actually sits on part of a piece of property that once belonged to his grandma's family farm - our love for this place runs deep!

What makes this property unique

Silver Lake Cottage is a quaint and peaceful getaway. You can be as secluded as you would like to be and stick close to the cottage with 60 feet of private beach, or venture out to Traverse City and enjoy everything TC has to offer!
