Silver Lake Cottage in Traverse City w/ Private Frontage & Pontoon for rent

JUST REMODELED cottage that has an excellent location on Silver Lake, in Traverse City. It is located on .85 acres with 108 feet of direct frontage. It is a short 10 minute drive to downtown Traverse City. Silver lake is a 600 acre all sports lake. It is one of the nicest inland lakes in Traverse City. The cottage gets sun all day long (but also has areas of shade) and then you are able to watch the sun set. You can walk right out the cottage and walk directly into the water (no stairs to go down or roads to cross).

*** Just renovated!!New Flooring, New Kitchen, New bathroom!

The cottage has two bedrooms and one bathroom. It sleeps six, with one queen bed in the main level bedroom, and two full-size beds in the loft bedroom. The kitchen is fully stocked, it even has a dishwasher. There is a laundry room in the cottage, available for your use. There is a canoe, paddle boat and stand up paddle board available for renters to use at no charge. There is a nice storage shed that has yard games/beach toys. There is a very large fire pit. The cottage comes with Wi-Fi, hulu live cable, 42” smart TV, AC units, games, and plenty of parking space.

We have a 20 foot pontoon boat w/ 50HP available for you to rent:
$295 per day, $650 for 3 days, or $1000 for the entire week (This is cheaper than all rental companies in town) and we just purchased a brand new 22ft Bennington, 115HP with tubing capacity. 1 day= $350, 3days= $850, 1 week= $1650
**** Please inquire about availability for the dates of your travel. The pontoon may not be available even if the cottage is.

Please also note that the dock and pontoons are not going to be out and available until mid May. There is an owner's dock that is occasionally used and then another brand new dock on the opposite side for you to use.

The cottage is in a great location of Traverse City, where you feel like you're up north, but just a 10 minutes drive from downtown Traverse City.

Great Cottage Getaway
The cottage was cute, clean, and had just about everything we could ask for! The frontage was nice and flat and the water stayed calm in the cove area. The water was pretty and clear but also very shallow even well past the doc so we would take the boat out to deeper parts of the lake to swim. We were able to rent one of the pontoons for most of our stay which I would highly recommend. There was a paddle boat/boards and a cano free of charge but if you want to get around and see the entire lake you will want something with a motor. But my husband found fishing to be good right off the dock where he caught a few good sized bass.

Nice stay
This was the perfect spot for our family of5. Check in was so easy. A few minor mishaps but the host was very helpful. Silver lake is great I will say the bedding could use some updates. I didn't love that. There were not mattress cover/ pads on the beds but that would be an easy fix! Overall would for sure recommend

A great getaway lakefront cottage
Kitchen was well-stocked with utensils, silverware and cooking pots and pans; bedroom was clean and pretty roomy for a cottage of this size; door code much better than having a key; great view of Silver Lake, and conveniently located near all TC has to offer. Thanks, Lauran and Nick!

Clean Cozy Cottage
The cottage has a beautiful setting on the lake; it was clean and well stocked with books, games, towels, kitchen supplies, etc. A canoe and paddle board were available for use, at no charge. Pontoon boats are available to rent from the owner at a very reasonable rate. Lauren was just outstanding in responding to our questions and needs.

Awesome place to stay! Lauren was amazing! Rented the pontoon for the day, weather wasn't the greatest that day, dreary and chilly. Rainy the next day. She was nice enough to let us keep it throughout our stay. The third day was sunny and beautiful!! Perfect 💜

Cute cottage
We enjoyed our stay at this cottage! It’s very open spaced , with good beach access ( flat ) . The lake area is nice and calm - great for paddling. Nice fire pit area , and a sun shaded deck for dining and sunset watching . Location is great - It’s a short drive into town . This cottage has everything you would need! (the ceiling to the upstairs is a bit low) Lauran is a great host and very attentive to questions. We would stay here again !

We stayed at this property for a few days in the fall. Great to be right on the water and close to Traverse City. The updated portions of the house were great, but the kitchen and pots/pans really need some improvements. Overall a nice cozy place to stay.

Awesome lake cabin
We just loved this cabin! It’s much more spacious on the inside than you imagine. It had every cooking utensil you could need. The water view was great. Definitely rent the pontoon. Tubing is so much fun! The only bummer for those of you with small kids is that the lake is very mucky at this property, so your kids won’t be interested in swimming at the beach.

Great family vacation home
The house was the perfect size for our 4 person family. The house was super clean with everything you need for a comfortable stay. We loved the peddle boat, sand toys, and the firepit the most. The kids loved the upstairs loft. The water was shallow enough for our 5 year old to stand up at the end of the dock. Our only complaint was that the lake bottom was muddy and we sank into it more than expected. The home is in a great location- close to shopping and a short drive to Traverse. Definitely recommend for families!
