Stay at the lake house for a fun and cozy getaway!

AndrewRating, 5 stars6 months ago
This place worked great as a home base for my son and me for a long weekend exploring the eastern shore of Lake Michigan. We made a number of trips to areas we were interested in during the day. We either prepared our meals at the cottage or went to one of the local restaurants to eat - lots of options close by.

Middle Lake Retreat with Private Beach/2 King Beds

HeatherRating, 5 stars8 months ago
LOVE LOVE LOVED Nancy’s place! Everything was exactly as described/pictured. Everything was very clean, it was nice having so many bathrooms, and the use of a washer & dryer came in handy! Outside is amazing!!! Loved the deck, the beach (and view), and use of kayaks!! Nancy responded very quickly when we got ourselves locked out 😂 (our own fault). Would definitely stay here again!

Gr Lakefront hot swim pool spa cottage

FredelinaRating, 5 stars21 months ago
Overall it was a pleasant stay. BUT… the initial address given was not the address of the house so we have to drive another 30 minutes to get to the house. The house was clean, rustic and ideal for us 3 people and a dog. We enjoyed the amenities especially the billiards and kayaks. Also our dog enjoyed running around the property.

Waterfront Resort: Kayaks, Bikes, Docks, BBQ

MaddiRating, 5 stars7 months ago
Definitely book your stay here! With permission, we had a very small wedding on-site and it was the perfect weekend for all. The host was extremely kind and responsive. I had a question about the property once we arrived, and I received a phone call right away in response. Everything is very well maintained, CLEAN, and unlike many rentals-plentiful. We had more than enough of everything despite the extra guests. The backyard yields an incredible view. Not only of the water, but of an amazing sunset as well. Super friendly area, with plenty of food options close by. This place exceeded our expectations in all categories. Everyone that visited/stayed raved about the the view, the kayaking, the healthy board game collection, the smores by the fire, the multiple yard games, and even how comfy and clean their beds were. You will not be disappointed, and if you somehow are-this host will help.

Diamond Lake Cottage

AmitRating, 5 stars7 months ago
Nice cabin with a personality. If you can use the pontoon boat and hit the lake, this experience can be unique. Fishing is accessible off the dock, and you can easily catch some bluegills. Network access is limited but you can use the time to catch some old VHS movies. We watched Free Willy after so many years! Overall a nice stay in White Cloud.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Crystal's place. It was charming and quaint just like the photos in the listing. We enjoyed walking by the lake in the morning which is super close to the cottage. The location is close to bike trails that we enjoyed as well as downtown Grand Haven and Spring Lake. The perfect place for a Michigan Fall weekend getaway!

Your guide to Silver Lake

All About Silver Lake

The waterfront town of Silver Lake is set on the east side of Lake Michigan, about 90 minutes northwest of Grand Rapids. The 3,000-acre Silver Lake State Park covers most of the Silver Lake community, with steep dunes naturally formed nearly two million years ago. One of the town’s oldest monuments, the Little Point Sable Lighthouse, also sits on the state park’s shores and has served as a safety landmark for ships since the late 1800s. You can take the 130 stairs up the red-brick lighthouse for sweeping views of Silver Lake’s dunes and the deep blue waters of Lake Michigan.

Away from the coast, green spaces like the Otto Nature Preserve offer miles of trails set amid pine forests and untamed green ferns. The preserve’s main loop trail is home to local plant species including purple coneflowers and wild ginger. Much of local life in Silver Lake is based around farming, which you can see firsthand on the town’s walking trails or a guided farm tour. Sprawling orchards passed down through generations of families produce apples, plums, and berries, helping make Michigan one of the leading fruit producers in the United States.


The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Silver Lake

Silver Lake has mild, warm summers and cold winters. The summer season is the height of county fairs in the area, and Silver Lake’s Oceana County Fair is held every summer in July or August. The five-day event features live music, food stalls, and amusement park rides. Fall weather starts to get chilly, with colorful foliage taking on red and orange shades, best seen on the red pine and aspen trees at the 540,000-acre Huron-Manistee National Forest.

Spring is typically cool and pleasant, and rows of scented, purple lavender at the Lavender Labyrinth start to bloom this time of year. The three-acre grounds’ unique landscape design displays lavender plants in long, vertical rows that create purple circles around the central garden. Although winters can be very cold, the Big and Little Sable Point Lighthouses take on a magical feel this time of year. You can see icicles dangling from these historic lighthouses surrounded by fluffy sand on a sunny day or covered in a light blanket of snow during the late winter months.


Top things to do in Silver Lake

The Golden Township Park at Lake Michigan

The Silver Creek Stream and Lake Michigan come together at the Golden Township Park Beach, a small area covered with fluffy sand and home to beautiful fauna, such as the majestic monarch butterfly, and swim-friendly waters. This beach is less-visited than the Silver Lake State Park, making it a tranquil place to set up an evening picnic on the sand while watching a colorful sunset fade over Lake Michigan.

West Michigan Pike

The West Michigan Pike is a scenic drive following the coast of Lake Michigan. You can start the 184-mile drive from Silver Lake and head south along the I-94 highway, passing by lakeside towns, historic windmills, and lighthouses along the way. One of the most unique stops on the West Michigan Pike route is the town of Holland, home to the only working Dutch windmill in the United States, named De Zwaan, surrounded by a sprawling tulip garden.

Hart-Montague Bike Trail

To the east of Silver Lake, the former Oceana County railroad built in the 1860s has been converted into the 22-mile, multi-use Hart-Montague Bike Trail. You can start the path in Hart, just 10 minutes east of Silver Lake, and head south toward the town of Montague. Lush, green trees surrounding the trail create a natural tunnel as you ride by orchid fields and spacious farmlands.
