In Silver Lake. Perfect Location. Nice, Clean, Spacious. 3 Night Minimum Stay.

Hi, my name is Mindy. I’m mom of one and “Nini” to two amazing grandson’s. I am retired and a year round resident of Silver Lake. I open my home up to guests for 6-8 weeks each summer. During this time, I stay with my daughter who also lives in Silver Lake. Renting my home out to guests for a limited amount of time each summer allows me to live here year round. My guests have been wonderful and some return year after year. It has been a very easy and pleasant experience.
Enjoy all the comforts of home, with nice furniture, comfy beds and living spaces. Located in the middle of it all and situated on 3 lots and Hunter Creek which feeds into beautiful Silver Lake. It is a very nice, clean and spacious 2,370 sq. ft., two story cottage home with an open floor plan. There are 4 bedrooms and 1 1/2 baths. 1 full bathroom with a shower is located on the first floor. A 1/2 bath is on the upper level, between two of the three upstairs bedrooms.
Bring your kayak and/or canoe and take off from the back yard and paddle your way right into Silver Lake. Hunter Creek has been shallow the past few years. So, for those of you who have a large boat, there is a public boat launch just at the end of W. Taylor and N. Shore Rd., you can drop it off and bring your trailer back to the house. If you don't have a kayak or boat, you can rent one from the Wave Club which is just down the street. At this time, there are no open boat slips available to dock your boat on Silver Lake. We are hoping this will change in the near future.
We are located right next to the Silver Village Assoc. path that leads to a pedestrian bridge that crosses Hunter Creek. Just a short walk across the bridge and up a dirt road leads you to the private Silver Village Assoc. pool and playground. Swim in the SVA private pool (scheduled days/times). Watch as people enjoy the zip line, drop tower and go carts at Craig's Cruisers. Walk across the street and eat lunch at The Chicken Shack or Silver Scoops. Lighthouse Grill offers a delicious breakfast and lunch. Golden Bakery is where you can find yummy donuts and cinnamon rolls. The Silver Lake State Park is about a mile away. As well as the amazing Silver Lake Sand Dunes and ORV acess and parking! Our beautiful Little Sable Pointe Lighthouse and stunning Lake Michigan beach is less than 2 miles away. So many other places to enjoy are just a short drive, too!

Loved this house!

We had 8 adults and 2 kids….plenty of room for everyone! The beds were super comfortable. The furniture was super comfortable. The kitchen was completely stocked with everything you’ll need. The front yard is huge and perfect for lawn games and squirt gun fights! We enjoyed the back deck and the kids liked trying to fish for the carp that came by at night. And the location is fantastic. Easy walk to the pool, Craig’s cruisers, and the lake. Easy drive to MacDunes, Pentwater and Ludington. Highly recommend this house!

Perfect placement

The house is situated far enough from town and off the road that it’s nice and quiet. Yet it’s close enough to town that a short walk or bike ride gets you there quickly. The house is very cozy, in the sense that it’s not a musty cottage. It’s nicely decorated and very well equipped. The kids loved that they could dunk our kayaks into the creek right out the back door of the house and off the deck. It was also a bonus to be able to use the garage to store our 9 bicycles while we were there. Mindy was very accommodating and a wonderful host!

We had a fantastic experience staying at Mindy’s home! The house was clean and beautiful. All the comforts of home and then some. We had a group of 4 adults and 6 children and we had plenty of room. The kids especially enjoyed the creek in the back yard and the short walk to the pool! We will definitely be doing it again next year. I highly recommend Mindy’s happy place!

We have been lucky enough to stay at Mindy's house a couple of times now. The house and property are very large and accommodating of a large group or family. The owner (Mindy) is exceptional in her communication and co-ordination of making your stay worry free. We look forward to yet another return trip next year.

Silver Lake Family Vacation 2022

Mindy, the owner, is very accommodating. Her home was very comfortable for our family of 7 adults and two small children . The decor is warm and cozy so we immediately felt at home. Good location too. Just off busy N. Shoreline Dr. but close enough to walk to shops and other attractions. Look forward to next stay.

Family Vacation

Our military family drove from CA to Silver Lake to have a family vacation with my brother, his family, and my mom and dad. That is a total of 11 people and we all fit just fine. The property is just a few minute walk to the rides, restaurants, and of course, gorgeous Silver Lake. Yet, it is nestled into a quiet community with a nice community pool. Mindy is a super nice lady and very accommodating during our stay. We look forward to staying again really soon!

I love this home :)

We felt very fortunate to get this reservation in the winter for our summer vacation this past week. The pictures and reviews were great so our expectations were quite high. I have to say though, they were greatly exceeded :) This house is spacious, beautifully kept up and has a great up north feel to it. ALL the amenities and necessities are there, the beds were sooo comfortable, the yard is great for any activity, the deck and fire pit are large and private. The location is perfect and the pool is fantastic, Laying in a hammock by the stream was a dream. Launching our kayaks right off the deck to head to Silver Lake was another bonus. I cannot say enough great things about this property and the owner Mindy. It was exactly what we had hoped for and much more. We usually go to Silver Lake every 3-4 years, I wouldn't consider staying anywhere else now.

This is a great family vacation location! The house was perfect. The owner was quick to respond with any questions I had. There is so much to do in the area that was either walking distance or a few minutes drive. The yard is big for kids to plan on, has a nice fire pit, and a pool with playground a short distance away. One down fall was the pool hours they are closed Tuesdays and Thursdays and have limited hours on other days.

Book today you won't regret it :)

The pics don't do this property any justice. The deck was amazing. As a family we'd sit out there for ours watching the wildlife. our grandkids thought it was the greatest. Quack quack was said a thousand times :) The joy on their faces. The open concept allowed you to interact with everyone. The decor was fabulous. Mindy the owner outdid herself. Endless laughs. Washer and dryer was a great perk after a long sandy day on the dunes or the lakes. I can't wait to return with my family. The yard was perfect. We had plenty of room to set up cornhole for us and the little ones and ladderball. The walk to the pool was a short distance. The only bad thing is having to leave. Mindy has a great house. The amenities are more than we could have asked for. The memories we made will be with us forever.

Our Happy Place

We stayed her at Our Happy Place in July 2020. This house is very nice, shabby chic decorated , and spacious. This is an open floor plan with 3 large bedrooms , and bathroom upstairs., over looking the dining and living room. Downstairs kitchen, dining room, bathroom, bedroom, living and family room. Our family had enough room to spread out and enjoy all the rooms. The kitchen is fully stocked with dishes, small, and large appliances. The front yard is huge. We enjoyed playing kickball for two days, and on breaks enjoyed sitting on the front porch. Also, enjoyed the back porch and eating dinner outside. My grandkids enjoyed kayaking in the creek/ river.. Enjoyed the sand dunes, sand boarding, dune rides, silver lake Boat riding and tubing, Craig’s cruisers, and ice cream at the Whippy dip.. There is many things to do here, and we only scratched the surface. I hope to make this a tradition. Thank you very much Keely family for opening your home so mine could enjoy a vacation!

Wonderful Getaway

We have vacationed in the Silver Lake area for many years and this property is great. Location: close to dunes, boat rental, go-karts, and town (could walk if wanted), and we took advantage of the Hunter's Creek access and enjoyed that a lot with kayaks, rafts, and paddle boards. Kids also liked watching the ducks and fish in the water. House is welcoming and homey with plenty of room for everyone to spread out. True the upstairs gets warmer, but it really only bothered one person in our group who opted to sleep on the couch downstairs and he was fine, said it was very comfortable.
