In the living room is a Vermont Castings gas stove with a glass front for those evenings when you want to sit inside by the fire.
Enjoy the view of the lake from the back deck or during the hot afternoon sip a cold drink in the shady front flagstone courtyard.

The sleeping arrangements are: one King bedroom, one queen bedroom, both beds are fitted with comfortable mattress toppers.
The bunk room facing the lake features adult size cedar log bunk beds (the bunk room is not air conditioned but is surrounded by windows for a nice breeze).

Amazing & quiet cabin on the lake!

We stayed at the cabin for four weeks in the summer and had a wonderful stay. The owners were great, they communicated with us for everything and went above and beyond for our stay with them. The cabin has a ton of character and because it's tucked into a cove you don't get a lot of noise or distraction from the lake. The pontoon boat was a huge benefit and gave us easy access to the lake whenever we wanted it. The back deck provided a great spot to relax at the end of the day and watch the beautiful sunsets. The cabin is 10 minutes from downtown Traverse City which was another nice benefit. I would highly recommend this cabin and the owners to anyone considering this for future rentals.

A peaceful stay

This cabin was perfect for a quiet family vacation. The cabin was cute, well taken care of and clean. We enjoyed the outdoor spaces, the pontoon and the friendly neighborhood too. Downtown TC and other areas with walking trails, breweries and wineries were a short drive.

As advertised

The cabin was advertised as a cozy, genuine, log building on a quiet cove. It was exactly that. We took advantage of the pontoon rental for our stay and found it very convenient. The proximity to main roads allowed easy access to shopping and Traverse city. Anything we needed/wanted was just a short drive. Our dogs (2 labs) loved swimming off the dock and beach. My son and I caught fish (large and smallmouth bass) every time we went out. This was our first two week stay at a rental cabin and we found that we could relax and enjoy our vacation rather than rushing home after one week.

Serene Log Cabin on Silver L:ake

I, along with my wife and two friends just spent an idyllic month at this beautiful cabin located on a quiet and scenic part of Silver Lake. We've stayed in many cabins over the years but this one is by far the nicest. Rustic, but very comfortable and roomy, and extremely well equipped. From kitchen and cookware to washer and dryer, comfortable beds and plenty of linens, there was nothing wanting. Our host provided a fabulous place to get away from it all. We hope to come back again.

The Best!

We stayed for 3 1/2 weeks. It was the best stocked place we have ever rented and the owners were exceptional when we had a few minor issues.....all quickly remedied. Even the neighbors were great. Both the indoor and outdoor spaces are welcoming and very much enjoyed when we had family visit. It was perfect for our Traverse City visit,

Loved it!

we had an amazing time at the cabin! As soon as we walked in we were amazed by the view. The location was incredible and the cabin was adorable! Clean and well set. We were 7 people a bit crowded but managed to made it work without problems. Allie was very nice and helped us to contact less check in. The neighbors were wonderful too letting my kids use their canoes. We loved every minute of it and look forward to go back!

This updated log cabin is inviting and cozy. The location on a quiet cove on Silver Lake was just right for us. Kitchen well-equipped, bedrooms and living area comfortable, and great outdoor space, too. Heartily recommend!

August 2019 Stay

There were six adults and one toddler staying at the cabin. The property was clean and met our expectations. The owner left us items to make s’mores which is did one night around the fire pit. The cabin is located not far from Traverse City and other fun spots such as Sleeping Bear Dunes. The boat added extra fun for getting around the lake. All-in-all, we had a wonderful vacation and will have many happy memories.

charming cottage on beautiful lake! Pontoon boat was a highlight!

Loved this property and we had a great time! It was immaculately clean and owner added little touches like spa robes and nice bathroom amenities. Kitchen was stocked well with pots and pans, utensils etc. Beautiful lawn and yard with beach area. Highlight of our trip was the pontoon boat- took it out several times a day to go swimming, sunset cruise or dock and watch other activities on the lake. The boat is very easy to use- owner showed us how and is great for families. Nice deck with BBQ grill and we ate out every night. The location was great and close to town. Her family market - Burritts - was great- fabulous meats and seafood plus any ingredient you could imagine. Also Meijer 5 mins away. Perfect for 4 adults, a couple of kids and a dog! Very relaxing! We would highly recommend!!!
