My husband and I stayed here in January for two days! It was cold and snowy and this cottage was perfect for the cozy evenings inside! Plus it was the perfect size for just the two of us! Very clean and had all the amenities we needed! Awesome view of the lake and a close drive to downtown Traverse City! We would definitely stay here again! The host had great communication and was friendly!

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

Cozy Cottage with Amazing View

My friends and I had the best stay at the cottage; it was perfect for a weekend in Traverse City! The host, Katie, was very helpful and attentive and we had no issues with anything during our stay. The cottage was very clean and provided a cozy atmosphere for fall in TC. The view of the lake was beautiful; we enjoyed watching the sunrise through the windows each morning. Would definitely book again!

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.
