LAKE MICHIGAN HOLIDAY Presents: Rhele's Roost @ Lake Michigan & Silver Lake Dunes

Rhele's Roost is what dreams of Dunes, Beach and Lake Michigan dreams are made of. Our gravel road though the woods opens up into an oasis of quiet neighbors, sounds of the surf, rustling trees, friendly waves and tranquility.
With all the family-friendly attractions, nearby wineries, golf courses, and on-site access to Lake Michigan, our quaint vacation home is a fabulous find.
The front of the house is charmingly simple and tucked away, but once you step into the backyard, you'll find yourself immersed in a breathtaking oasis of beauty and tranquility.

Great cottage in a great location. Easy 5 min walk to beach. Had everything you need to enjoy your stay. Close to many different golf courses and quaint little towns.Very clean and great wifi!
We mainly picked this cottage because it’s close to my brothers, and that worked so well. Love the location between Lake Michigan and the sand dunes. The cottage was clean, cozy, and comfortable.
This was a small cozy cabin with everything we needed and at a great location. It was a quick walk to beach and sand dunes and a short drive to the parks, and town. Family had a great time!
The property was great. The pictures do not do it justice. We really enjoyed the private beach and the dunes were really cool. We loved the way it was off the beaten path but still easy to get to other activities.
Our stay was wonderful. The home is great, inside and out. The views of Lake Michigan from the nieghborhood and beach are amazing. Also, very close to Silver Lake and the dunes. Erick is a terrific host.
Great location if you are looking for a place close to a beautiful beach spot on lake Michigan. We were right next to our friend's rental and it could not have worked out better! The yard was fantastic and the interior was as described in posting.
Excellent host and a great property. Home was exactly as described. I decided to do a spur of the moment dunes trip with my SXS and couldn’t have worked out better with the location of this property. The backyard is quite literally the dunes and you have an amazing view of Lake Michigan out front. ORV park entrance is 5 mins away. The entry road to the neighborhood is a bit narrow and steep at times but no issues with my F350 and 16 foot trailer. The driveway is easy to back into but I wouldn’t go more than a 18-20 foot trailer. Overall, for the price and location, I would recommend staying here.
Rhele's Roost provided a cozy getaway for me and my family over Labor Day. Erick is a terrific host and Rhele's Roost is situated in beautiful lakeside neighborhood with stunning views of Lake Michigan and Sliver Lake Dunes just down the street! Highly recommend.
This home was exactly what we needed for our week at lake Michigan. It fit our family of five perfectly. We were able to walk to the beach and hike on the dunes every day. The host was kind and generous. The home and property were clean and well kept.
We rented Erick’s place in order to spend some quality time with our family and it was perfect.The cottage is adorable, cozy, clean and incredibly comfortable and the scenery is stunning.We spent time making meals together, going to the beach and hiking in the dunes.Our weekend couldn’t have been any better.Erick always immediately responded to our messages and we are already planning the exact same trip next year! It was perfect!
Such a nice little place. Very clean and everything worked as intended. The fire pit in the back yard is a nice addition. Be sure to watch the sunset and check out the stars via the sand dune. Verizon doesn’t have cell service here but the wifi is very strong.
The property was exactly as described. We loved the retro theme and the location. We were able to walk through the backyard to see the dunes and then down to the beach to watch the sunset. Overall a great place to stay. It was clean, safe and our host was so accommodating and communicative.
It was a short but wonderful stay. Our host exceptionally communicative and the house and property were in perfect order. We will definitely be returning!
This is one of the best experiences me and my family have had while traveling with Vrbo.The host was very communicative and ensured we had a great stay. The cabin was clean and welcoming.We can’t wait to go back!
We had a great stay at Rhele's Roost!The host was very friendly and response. The property is a short walk from an amazing beach. The cabin itself was well provisioned and clean - we lacked for nothing. The outdoor space was a dream. Large fire pit and plenty of space to hang out and let our toddler run around. Our family and I had an amazing stay there and will definitely be returning. Thank you, Erick, for being such a great host!
Thank you for letting us stay. We rented in August 2025 and had a great time. We love that you can walk onto the dunes from the backyard and the short walk down the street to the beach. Thank you to Erick who is a great host. Kind and Helpful.
The house was very cute and the host ensured our stay was great. The only thing I would warn folks about is that there is no cell service with ATT there but the wifi at the house is great and you can use that to make calls.
This property had a lot to offer. The tent was the best part. The family was disappointed that the peddle vehicle was out of commission and there was no air conditioning on the hot days. But all in all, it was a good stay.
