Lovely Celebratory Stay
We had an amazing stay at this Silver Sands Vrbo! We were celebrating some milestones with just our little family and this house was ideal! The location was perfect - a short walk to the lake which was so nice. The house itself was spotless, well-equipped, and incredibly cozy. It truly felt like a home away from home. The property manager was attentive and made sure we had everything we needed for a fantastic vacation. We can't wait to return! Highly recommend!

Wonderful Stay
Our family (5) enjoyed our 2nd time here! The dock was handy to tie our boat during the week. There were kayaks and a canoe available for our enjoyment. The cottage has all the comforts of home. It rained one day and it was nice to be able to watch TV and relax indoors. Our stay was very peaceful and rejuvenating.

Relaxing Cottage in nature
If you’re looking for a getaway that doesn’t need multiple pee/coffee/fuel stops so you can relax in nature this spot is for you! Well appointed kitchen, cozy living with everything (including yard games). Nice and close to the lake (can even see it from bed)….Close to golf, and a nice quiet yard! We will definitely be back! Loved it!

Early June Respite
Even with the rainy days and windy days, we enjoyed our quiet little getaway at Silver Sands. We enjoyed walks, standing on the dock and watching the water, reading books and eating. Don’t expect close by, fancy restaurants if that’s what you’re looking for. But a quiet neighborhood is what you’ll find. Loved it!

Peaceful getaway
Cozy house in a quiet lakeside community with ample forest surrounding and lovely trails for walking. The lake is one row of houses away and was frozen during our stay but still beautiful to see in the near distance. Interior of home was clean and fully functioning. Open kitchen with everything one needs to cook and clean up after ones self. We enjoyed our stay very much and appreciated the clear communication with the host. Thank you!

This is our second time staying at this property and it was just as amazing as the first time! The weather was amazing this year and we very much enjoyed being able to sit outside and enjoy the fire pit and the sun! The host is is very quick to respond if needed and truly does a remarkable job of stocking the property! The little added touches of coffee, s’mores and a great bottle of wine were very much appreciated 😊 we will definitely continue to book this property in the future!

Great cabin for canoeing
Very nice cabin and property. The complimentary s'mores and popcorn were a really nice touch. We really enjoyed the easy access to the lake and the provided canoe/kayak gear. The lake and islands were beautiful to canoe around this time of year with the fall colours (though not great for swimming, lots of algae). The only disappointment was the jet tub - the hot water ran out before it was even half full.

Great weekend away
Just got back from this property. We had a great stay despite the weather not being the best. The host provides lots of nice little things to have for cooking, cleaning and relaxing. There were kayaks and a canoe available but the weather didn’t allow us to use them. The communication with the host was easy and quick. I would return again. One note for others is that the stairs up to the loft bedroom are very steep in case it’s little ones or somebody with mobility issues.

The property is in great condition, and the host is amazing. The kids loved the kayaks and having the private dock was fantastic!
