Lake side cottage rentals in Silver Lake

Chic cottage 100ft from Spring Lake, private dock
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!

Diamond Lake Cottage
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.

cottage between two lakes
Lisa's place is beautiful with a great private location. We loved seeing the wildlife in the yard. The place was so clean and has everything you need to enjoy your stay there. Lisa responds promptly if u have any questions. I would highly recommend this place.

Cozy 2 bedroom cottage, lakefront private beach
Very nice stay. Great communication from Evan, beautiful lake house, clean and well organized, and an amazing all season room overlooking the lake. Thank you for sharing your home, Evan!

Waterfront Cottage by Silver Lake & Pentwater
One of, if not the cleanest Airbnb we’ve been to. Everything was ready/easily accessible in the home, didn’t have to worry about missing/going out for anything. Area was really quiet and peaceful, however the bedrooms were close to/facing the road where the occasional car could be heard (1-2 cars per night). Overall had a great time staying here, would definitely recommend and possibly rebook in the future.

Mann Lake Cottage Year-Round Private Pet friendly
The Cottage at Mann Lake is a wonderful place to stay. We have stayed here for many years in a row. It is our annual "ice fishing" trip, in which we don't always fish anymore since there is always fun to be had inside. Another great weekend spent at the cottage!

Lakefront Cottage in Lakeview
Stephanie's place is exactly what you want if you want to get away and relax without a lot of stimulation. I work in GR and am often in larger cities, so this was just what me and my family needed. 45 minutes from Soaring Eagle, 3.5 miles from a very nice full grocery store where everyone is so friendly. The pictures don't do this place justice, it's way nicer in person. Right on the lake with amazing views. Will definitely be back if she'll have us.

Lakefront Chook Nook Cottage Dickerson Lake
The Chook Nook provided my family of 7 plus pet a nice affordable getaway in a beautiful relaxing environment. The kitchen was well stocked with seasonings and cook ware. Bathroom was clean and well stocked with clean towels. Beds were clean and comfortable. The host Jennifer was very responsive to any questions. Thank you again for being a great host on short notice.

Payne's Lakeside Cottage with Private Beach
Amanda went above and beyond for our stay. She communicated quickly and was so helpful. The home was clean and in a great location! Thank you again for everything

The Sandy Mitten of Ludington
We were looking for a place that was close to everything in Ludington and this was the perfect spot. The check-in and checkout was super easy. The host updated us on things pertaining to the property ahead of time, including scheduled maintenance. And the house is very clean and comfortable. We try to make going to Ludington an annual thing and we would definitely stay here again.

Gr Lakefront hot swim pool spa cottage
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.

Harbor Village Townhouse Condo at LK MI
My family loved this unit! With 4 small boys, there was room for everyone to sleep comfortably. It was right next to a great playground, and a short walk to the pool. We will definitely try to stay here again on our next visit.

July 5-12&19-26 Open Mini Resort Indoor Pool&Sauna
Jennifer’s house was incredible for our 2 family vacation. The kids had an amazing time kayaking and splashing in the pool, and it was wonderful that they had plenty of books, toys, and games available. The adults enjoyed the separate living rooms, beautiful back porch, and well-stocked kitchen. The beds were very comfortable and everything was very clean. There is an uncrowded beach just a mile down the road with easy parking and nearby Holland had plenty of shopping and great restaurants.

Island view cottage
From the word GO Michelle(Mike🥰) was the best hostess. She and her husband both treated us like family and were very gracious to our needs. Superb people to rent from and the accommodations!! In my grandson’s words …. We are making this a tradition ❤️

Cozy Cottage
Comfortable stay for 15 people. Nice area. Great big back porch which was nice during the day and evening. Would highly recommend this place to stay. So many kitchen appliances. Lots of towels and beach towels. Fully furnished.

Deer Shores Cottage on Big Pine Island Lake, 7 BR
We feel so fortunate to have found this beautiful home, spacious enough for our kids, their spouses and our grandchildren! The kitchen is so well stocked with not only everything you’ll need for cooking, but also with spices and condiments! We will not hesitate to book this home again! Ben was so responsive to my questions and his communication was great! No complaints about this beautiful rental!

Little Pink House
Meg and Rita should be elevated to above “Superhost”. The little pink house is clean quiet and nicely decorated. All hosts should be as responsive and thoughtful. Every wall switch was labeled to let me know which switch operated each particular light or room. AND every wall socket was fitted with an adapter outlet which was so helpful when traveling with multiple chargers for multiple devices. A great stay. I will definitely stay again.

Memories In The Making
We enjoyed our weekend at Segrid's home. The beach was so nice and close for walks and the sound of the waves on our fall retreat was an added, peaceful, bonus!

Beautiful Renovated Home - minutes from downtown
We were in town for our grandson's graduation from Grand Valley State. Everything was close by, and we didn't have any problems getting around. It was a lovely, renovated older home, and everything was top of the line. Beds were very comfortable, and linens were wonderful. We will definitely recommend John's place to family and friends that will be visiting the Grand Rapids area.

Space for days, very clean, doesn't disappoint!
Just as the description said, the house was very clean and tidy with lots of space! The house is similar to the tardis; it appears small on the outside but is huge on the inside. Furniture and beds were cozy and the kitchen appliances were ready to use without needing a prior wash. Sometimes, you don't get that lucky. Although on the street, the inside of the house was peaceful and quiet. The house was also less than a 10 minute drive from most places we went, which is always a plus!

Coastal theme/wooded & large deck/fenced-in yard
This home is so nice. Beautiful setting on a wooded lot. Extremely clean and well decorated. Fenced in yard was perfect for our dogs. The home is well stocked with toiletries to spices. I would highly recommend staying here if you are visiting Holland. I was sad we were only there for 2 days.

Park Like View on over 2 Acres in the City
Jon was an excellent host! The house is beautiful and the property is even more so. We got to sit out back and watch all the wildlife (birds, woodpecker, deer, etc). It was the perfect place to have our friends gather and spend quality time. Would defiantly recommend!

Woodland Rental
We really enjoyed our stay! The home was so nice and clean and very open inside. Had just about everything we needed for our two night stay. I can't say enough good things about the beautiful property. Loved walking the trail in the woods with our dogs. Wish we had more time, but would love to come back and stay in this home again. Thank you for having us!

Outdoor Enthusiast - ideal rental for YOU!!!
A great birthday get away…. Close to things we wanted to see and quite at night when we returned! Very friendly and communicative with directions and answering all our questions!
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.
