  • The Aftershock thrill ride at Silverwood is a must-ride for adrenaline junkies. This ride takes you backwards and forwards at 65 mph through loops and up the tower. Silverwood is a ton of fun with not only 4 roller coasters, but a ton of other rides that cater to all ages, and...the other half of Silverwood is a water park as well. This is a great place to visit in the summer! #Architecture #TroveOn

This property was very clean and perfect for our needs. Very spacious, lovely yard to BBQ and relax in and extremely close to SILVERWOOD theme park. Took literally minutes to get to and from park and grocery store just down the road a few miles.

Perfect little getaway

Comfortable and inviting home with an awesome back patio/yard to hang out and relax in. Great place to disconnect from technology and unwind. WiFi is not awesome, but if you have Starlink you can bring with you (as we did), you can set up and use high-speed internet for whatever you might need. Love this place - would definitely request to stay here again.

A quiet setting and gracious host

We needed an extended stay for our unique situation and Joe and Joshua were the best hosts! The house is comfy and well proportioned even for a family of five with pets. All the amenities were there for a longer stay, and the location is perfect for a short commute to CdA. The backyard is lovely and serene and there was plenty of parking for multiple vehicles and even our storage trailer and boat! We are so grateful to have found this place and the wonderful accommodating hosts!

Excellent Get Away

So fun! Not having internet was a bit of a set back. We had work we needed to do but weren’t able to as the internet did not work the entire time we were there. That was the only negative bit—otherwise the stay was amazing! Great yard! Amazing location near the amusement park!

16th birthday

Our stay was amazing and the gentlemen who run the property were awesome. Easy communication and check in and out process. Couple of tiny issues many plugins in the kitchen/dining room didn't seem to work not sure if it was operator error or not, and in the main bathroom above the toilet there appears to be possible be a water leak as i did notice a little bit of mildew. Otherwise great rental they even hung a happy 16th birthday banner at no extra cost and let her eep it. I will definitely use these gentlemen again.

Fantastic location for your Silverwood Theme Park trip!

Less than 10 minutes of a short and easy drive from Silverwood Theme Park! The home was very clean and had wonderful three bedrooms for personal space for all. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything one would need to cook from home. Included was a nice and clean propane barbecue too! The backyard was perfect with the barbecue, portable cooler on wheels for your cold beverages, two tables with eight chairs provides room for the whole family! All this under a covered patio which provided shade and protection from rain. Included was a corn-hole boards/bean bags which we used in a lovely green grass backyard which was very private. Loved this home and location! We will definitely be back for our next Silverwood Theme Park adventure!

Roomy house with a great location surrounded by pine trees. We stayed here with our adult children and granddaughter and there was plenty of room for everyone. It's well stocked and we were able to cook for the family. We picked this location so we could spend some time at Silverwood Theme Park, which is just a few miles away. It worked out perfectly and we plan to stay here again in the future.

We loved our stay at this rental. It was a quick drive to Silverwood Theme Park and plenty big for our party of 8. The host went above and beyond to quickly and carefully mail back one of our cell phones that was accidentally left behind and lost in the couch. Will definitely stay again in the future.
