Charming Lakefront Cottage Retreat | Vintage Decor
Summary:
Up North fairytale come true! Hide in this romantic Silver Lake cottage during your stay in Traverse City. Imagine living off the grid, out of the matrix, having your own slice of heaven with large deck, and private beach. It's also very close to TC to explore downtown if you choose! Sleeps 6.
The Space:
This 3 bedroom cottage sleeps 6 and is the perfect summer getaway for a small group or family with young kids. Amazing Silver Lake is just out the back door and the home is minutes away from Traverse City and the Sleeping Bear Dunes.
The full kitchen (with reconditioned original 1950's sink!) has everything you'll need to eat in - pots, pans, dishes, stove, coffee pot, toaster, microwave, refrigerator, etc. You can enjoy your meal in the dining area inside or eat outside on the deck with beautiful sunset views over the lake.
Two of the three bedrooms have cozy full-sized beds with small dressers to unpack for the week. The third bedroom is a bunk bed with two twin beds and a dresser for the kids clothes!
Relax in two separate living areas with large sectional sofas if you want to get away from the sun, chat with old friends, or watch a movie with the kiddos.
But the true bliss is all out back as you step outside onto the deck adjoining Silver Lake. The large deck has a gas grill and dining set to prepare outdoor meals. Enjoy an evening bonfire after a sun soaked day on the water - 'smores not included. Tie your boat off to the private dock and watch as the kids play on the sandy beach.
It's a true Up North fairytale getaway! Vintage decor all throughout will remind you of days past as you soak in the sun and take a break from the daily grind.
Guest Access:
Keypad Access
Other Things to Note:
We do not have cable TV in the home. Streaming options only.
There is no dishwasher in the kitchen.
There is a bathtub, but it needs to be filled with the shower head.
VRBO bookings have a non refundable 2.9% + 30¢ credit card processing fee.
