Cherish the Memories with a Perfect Family Getaway

You will love the memories you will be creating with the beautiful view of the dunes from the 400 feet of private beach front and it is only one mile from the entrance to the dunes and 1 mile from Lake Michigan.

This cottage has an excellent set up if you have young kids as there is a play area. The play area includes an oversized sand box and a swing set.

There is also a gas grill, deck furniture (deck in front and in back,) and fire pit.

This perfect getaway also includes access to the clubhouse which features WiFi, a ping pong table, and a basketball/ tennis court. You will also have access to the heated pool and to the boat launch.

After a long day of fun in the sun you can enjoy a beautiful sunset while relaxing on the front deck or sunrise if you are an early riser.

There are two bedrooms; one bedroom contains a queen size bed which also includes a washer and dryer in the room. The second bedroom contains a bunk bed with a single bunk on top and full size bed on the bottom and It is a very open layout and contains a full kitchen to include stove, microwave and refrigerator.

It is located in an excellent location on a private drive. There is a spot to moore your boat on the private beach access. It is located right off of Silver Lake Rd between Mac's Dune Rides and Silver Lake State Park. It is close to Dunetown Shopping Center, exactly 1 mile from Craigs Cruiser's, and less than 10 minutes from the entrance to the dunes and to Lake Michigan.

Nice cabin, great location.
Erica was a great and responsive host. No frills, cozy, and quaint cabin perfect for a small family. Our boys had fun in the community play area in the back shared by other cabins with all the other kids staying nearby. Also great that it’s a short walk to the pool. Starting out the day with a view of the dunes from the front patio was nice.

Very close walk to Silver Lake
Nice property. Only 4 of us went so we didn't check out the sleeper sofa. Small place but nice. Loved that it had a community pool, playset, & other games so we didnt have to travel far for some fun. The shower water temp would switch to a cooler temp for a second or 2 but then go back to hot so it wasn't too bad. Small stove & counter space but manageable. All in all, it was a good rental.

Nice location and neighbors, cleanness to be improved
Location is nice, very friendly neighbors. Personally, I am sensitive with hairs on bedding linen from unknown source after check in, glad that I brought our own bedding sheets. Some food debris on the dinning chair as well. If you are spending multiple days, please consider to bring some napkins, paper towel and toilet paper or prepare to buy from the gas station.

Very nice but....
My family really enjoyed our stay here! The only down side was that there was absolutely no service on any of our phones so when we had trouble getting in we couldn’t reach the owner on our cell phones. We had to ask a neighbor if we could use their phone to contact the owners. The only WiFi that was available was at the club house so if you needed to make a phone call you had to go there. Overall it was a great stay but be prepared to be in a dead zone for your phones.
