Lakefront Family Friendly Home with Large Sandy Beach and Beautiful Views


*** THE DAILY RATE INCLUDES THE STATE AND COUNTY OCCUPANCY TAX OF 14%***

The lake front home is on Silver Lake, which is one of the premier lakes in West Michigan, only 15 miles from downtown Grand Rapids and 5 miles from downtown Rockford. The home has about 2000 sq. feet with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, plus a large 4 season porch surrounded by windows. The home is in a quiet and safe neighborhood on a large flat lot with 80 feet of sandy beach with a Solo fire pit for gathering with your family and friends. The property also includes a 300-foot-deep back lot with a large driveway and garage.

Silver Lake is an all sports lake with about 225 acres that is in the top 5% of lakes in Michigan in water clarity. The home is in a protected area from westerly winds and faces southeast so you will enjoy waking up to beautiful sunrises and sunsets that can be seen from the water.

A large dock is included with a platform on the end. A 4-person paddle boat, 2 kayaks, and 2 stand up paddle boards are provided for your enjoyment. The property also has pickle ball, corn toss, croquet, horseshoes, volleyball, bikes, water/sand toys, life jackets, etc. are provided.

A newer 20-foot pontoon boat with a 60 hp engine is potentially available for rent during your stay. Please inquire about pricing and availability. I have 2 homes on the lake, and it is reserved to the first renter that requests it.

Almost anything you would need for your stay is included, except for food and beverages.

There are numerous recreational activities in the area with many parks and bike trails close by. 8 new outdoor pickle ball courts have been installed at the Cannon Township property 1 mile away. A variety of wonderful shops and restaurants are located within 5 miles of the cottage. In the winter Cannonsburg Ski Resort is 2 miles to the south of the home.

I also have another 3 bedrooms, 2 bath rental on the lake about 12 houses away if the dates are not available. The VRBO # is 1351695

Gorgeous location! The owner was very responsive and accommodating throughout our time and handled any concerns promptly. While it’s an older home, some of the downstairs was remodeled and beautifully done, especially the sunroom! The home was very well stocked for our 10 day stay. The beds were very comfortable. Our only feedback to the owner was that the upstairs loft with the queen bed is not a true 3rd bedroom so there was no privacy for that area. We would definitely recommend and stay here again.

Fantastic spot for a large group

Very happy and satisfied with the property, amenities, communication with the owner, and the location. Very clean and well stocked supplies, plenty of space for my 7 person group, beds and sleeping areas aplenty. We mostly stayed inside for our duration (by choice) and the group definitely did not feel claustrophobic or needed to get out. 5 min drive to a grocery store, several location well-known establishments, and just a short drive to GR or Rockford proper. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a great location and a great property any time of the year.

Perfect for a family weekend!

We were looking for a place to stay while we went skiing, and found this gem! The area is way more amazing than I could have imagined. We found wonderful restaurants, shopping, and skiing all within minutes of the rental. We would love to come back in the summer to use the beach! Highly recommend. Only heads up would be that there is no tub... But if you can live without that, you'll be all set!

Fantastic Place

Super clean property. This is the cleanest place we've ever stayed at, and we've been renting thru VRBO for many years. Plenty of room upstairs and on the main level for a lot of people. The furniture and the beds are very, very comfortable. The TV works great and the wifi is very fast. Cell phone reception is excellent. Brian is great to work with and extremely responsive. Brian has this place stocked with everything you could possibly need. Don't need to bring any spices either. The view of the lake is excellent, and it's a beautiful lake. The neighborhood is quiet, and the people are friendly. Highly recommended.

We had a wonderful time at the Lake House

From the day we made the reservation to the day we left. Brian was there to answer all of our questions. We have a son in a wheelchair, so even though the house was listed as being accessible, we had concerns about how accessible it really was. Brian supplied us with measurements to make sure it would be manageable. The house was clean and comfortable. The spring feed lake was so clear and the fishing was great. My son caught a 14” bass, some sunfish and perch. My husband was told there are pike and walleye in the lake. Even for the 2 days when the weather wasn’t great, there were board games, video games and lots of premium channels available. We watched movies and the new fireplace kept the room warm & cozy. The kitchen was recently renovated and Brian has plans for more renovations to make it even more accessible. We truly enjoyed our stay.

Great stay on the Lake.

Nice house lakeside to celebrate graduation from Calvin University. We enjoyed paddle boarding, kayaking and the peddle boat. Enough equipment for all of us to be out on the lake at the same time. Brian was easy to talk with and had everything labeled nicely. Would stay again.

Absolutely loved the property. Yard was level, functional and access to the water was close. Loved having all the water toys & crafts. The beach was an added bonus! The home itself was nice, wish it would have had 3 Bedrooms with doors. Only 2 of the "rooms" had a door for privacy.
