Cozy, clean and comfy cottage. We had a great stay. Right on the lake. The views are breathtaking. We did a lot of kayaking, paddle boarding and fishing.Wish the cottage had a water softener though. Also, would be nice to have sharper knives or a knife sharpener, and a grill cleaning brush. Other than that, the place is fully stocked.

Amazing little cottage

Cottage is extremely nice, clean, easy to find. Nice deck to sit out on with beautiful view of the lake. Perfect amenities. Beds not super comfortable but we were only there 2 nights. Host was amazing with communication. Would definitely stay there again.

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.

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!

Nice small cottage

The property was exactly as advertised. The cottage is very small, but nicely updated inside. The water frontage and docking are very nice and the lake bottom is sandy. Our stay was excellent and Katie was a very responsive host whenever we needed anything. Recommend putting some more storage in the bathroom for toiletries.
