The large lot is perfect for gatherings with large decks on both the front and back of the cottage. It is a great place to relax and enjoy the tranquility of stepping away from the real world. We have 2 other properties close by FAITH 4846442 and HOPE 4846407 if you need more room. The house has all the amenities you need. A washer and dryer, plenty of parking for dune buggies and trailers. The location is great. Secluded enough to relax, but close enough to all the action if you are up for it. Downtown Silver Lake is approximately 2 miles away where you can rent Jeeps, dune buggies, jet skis, boats etc. If you have any questions about the house just ask! Quiet Hours: As neighbors are close and families have young children we will ask that all guests respect quiet hours. Quiet hours will begin at 10:00 pm and end at7:00 am. Although the house yields itself for larger gatherings, parties will not be tolerated. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Toaster ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Living room ### Entertainment - DVD player ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washer/dryer ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a village - Near a hospital ### Things to do - Golf - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Jet skiing nearby - Sailing nearby - Swimming nearby - Water skiing nearby - Water tubing nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Garden - Unit size: 1,520 square feet ## Similar properties ![2 bedrooms, free WiFi, bed sheets](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/122000000/121280000/121272300/121272207/ccee2748.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### WELCOME TO BLUE DUNES COTTAGE a 2-bedroom cottage in wonderful Silver Lake Mears - Pool - Hot tub - Kitchen - Free WiFi [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-19&endDate=2026-02-20&selected=121272207&PinnedHotelID=121272207&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![TV](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/119000000/118950000/118949700/118949648/w1242h929x0y0-dc279ee9.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### The Best of Both Worlds – 3 bedroom house with Lake Access Without the Crowds Mears - Washer - Dryer - Free WiFi - Air conditioning [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-19&endDate=2026-02-20&selected=118949648&PinnedHotelID=118949648&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![House (3 Bedrooms) | Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/120000000/119870000/119865300/119865214/ec24f9d2.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### 1 Mi to Silver Lake Sand Dunes: Family Gem w/ Yard Mears - Kitchen - Free WiFi - Air conditioning - Barbecue grill [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-19&endDate=2026-02-20&selected=119865214&PinnedHotelID=119865214&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/104000000/103080000/103079400/103079372/70d2dd21.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Luxurious Silver Lake/Dunes Brand New Home Mears - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Air conditioning 10 Exceptional 6 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-19&endDate=2026-02-20&selected=103079372&PinnedHotelID=103079372&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/90000000/89590000/89580400/89580319/w2799h1863x0y0-6d241437.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Brand New Silver Lake Home, Dune Lovers Dream Mears - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet friendly 10 Exceptional 10 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-19&endDate=2026-02-20&selected=89580319&PinnedHotelID=89580319&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Smart TV](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/114000000/113390000/113384000/113383969/8d909c6c.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Great Lake Haven between Pentwater and Silver Lake Mears - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Air conditioning 9.8 Exceptional 44 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-19&endDate=2026-02-20&selected=113383969&PinnedHotelID=113383969&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/104000000/103370000/103361200/103361143/cdc439d9.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Silver Lake & Dunes Dream House Mears - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Air conditioning 10 Exceptional 7 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-19&endDate=2026-02-20&selected=103361143&PinnedHotelID=103361143&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Smart TV, fireplace](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/118000000/117100000/117098300/117098271/822c3ce1.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Unique, Silver Lake Tree House in popular beach town.

We loved our trip & would stay at this property again. The Host was attentive & quick to respond with an unforeseen delivery of space heaters (as the furnace struggled to kick on the first cold night of the season). This quick “customer service” response was greatly appreciated & sufficiently warmed the cottage for our weekend. Thank you, Tim, for your kind & quick response! ##### Kristin E.

The property was quiet and secure, safe. The house was clean and well thought out. The kitchen was adequate and had everything we needed. The common area was cosy and there was plenty of outside deck and lounge area. My kids and wife all said they want to go back. ##### Nathan T. Stayed 2 nights in May 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Beth F. Jun 6, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Nice location to the dunes Nothing fancy but worked for the weekend. A few hiccups w accessing the house as the lock was one we’ve never used. One of the beds was broken (box spring) but we made due w putting the mattress on the floor. Only other issue was the can opener was broken but Tammy, the neighbor, was gracious to loan us her’s. ##### Beth F. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Kaleb D., Atkinson Jul 26, 2018 #### Lovely Home Owners were very easy to work with. Location was perfect and lake access for our kayaks worked out perfectly. Our family of 5 stayed and were very comfortable. The listing lists 3 queen beds but they are full beds. Ample parking space and nice neighborhood. The only downfall was departure. Owner requires laundry of towels and sheets to be done before departure. There is an extra charge if sheets and towels are not washed. I would consider this part of the cleaning fee we are charged. ##### Kaleb D. Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Linda M. Aug 5, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### summer break The house was perfect for us. The kitchen could use 2 light bulbs replaced ( we put one in but didn't see more bulbs.). The downstairs bath needs light bulbs too. The previous renters did not clean out the ashes in the bbq. The kitchen could use a hand held can opener ( the neighbors were kind enough to help us out.) Very nice neighborhood! ##### Linda M. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Celeste K. Aug 9, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Lake Michigan Get-Away This was my first time using VRBO and it was a great first experience! The house is beautiful, in a lovely neighborhood, and has a huge yard & driveway. We walked down to the lake access (across the street and down one or two houses). It looked like it would be a fun and easy place for a family with little ones to have a picnic and swim. We chose to go to the beach at Silver Lake State Park one day. It was very crowded on a weekday; I would avoid on the w/e! We went to the beach at Little Point Sable Lighthouse the other day. It was our favorite beach near Silver Lake. Loved that we could park right at the lighthouse--no long hike! Definitely go there to watch the sunset at least once! We also loved the close proximity to the village (and beaches) of Pentwater and Ludington. I appreciated the binder in the house explaining details of the house as well as brochures and maps of the area. My husband said it wouldve been nice to have the fishing information included in the binder since we didn't have cell coverage in the house and couldn't ask the host (as the binder says to do if you want to fish). There were a couple confusing points in the binder though. One page said only hand and kitchen towels were provided, no bath or beach towels. Another page said bath towels \*were\* provided. Similarly, one page said dishes should be washed and put away before check out. Another page said clean dishes in the dish drainer or dishwasher were okay. (We planned to put them away to be safe but the dishwasher was still running when we left.) One thing in the kitchen that surprised me was the lack of anything to store food in like plastic containers, ziplocs, foil. Maybe that's just a difference between VRBO and the other rental agencies? I really appreciated the huge fridge with icemaker, nice washer/dryer, a clothes drying rack, and extra drying rack in the upstairs bath. I also noticed a few outlet covers to protect toddlers. The bedrooms are large and very comfortable. Not so much the sofa-bed, unfortunately. We had a slim 20-year-old on the sofa-bed who can typically sleep anywhere, but she said she could feel springs (or something hard) in the mattress and had a hard time getting comfortable. If you need the bed space, I would recommend bringing an air mattress instead. The bedrooms upstairs had ceiling fans which was awesome since the upstairs is warmer than the first floor (as is typical). Overall, we highly recommend staying here! ##### Celeste K.
