What a stellar spot, and stellar host/communication! Sauna, hot tub, fire fit, and a private sand peninsula on Silver Lake were truly out of this world. I can’t say enough- it’s not just a place- it’s an experience. Thank you Dan, Lisa, and Shawne for the thought and work that you have put into this “Slice O’ Heaven”!

Last minute getaway to this cute and cozy cottage. The view was beautiful even in the winter and the hot tub and sauna was an extra bonus. Would love to stay in the summer and enjoy the lake but really enjoyed the peace and quite and the cottage being so relaxing and welcoming. Can't wait to go back!

Cute and cozy cottage with beautiful views! The hot tub and sauna was definitely an extra bonus that we enjoyed on the cold snowy days. The cottage was very clean and welcoming. Dan was great to work with and we are looking forward to staying again.

This stay exceeded my expectations. They had everything we could have possibly wanted for a cozy Michigan experience.

This was our second girls trip back to the cottage and we couldn’t have been happier. From the fully equipped kitchen with bright windows, to the cozy blankets, the cottage is inviting. The highlight for the group was sitting in the hot tub while the huge snowflakes were falling, just beautiful! The communication from the host was excellent as well, prior, during and after. Thanks for a great weekend!

What a beautiful home! It’s always a treat to have a sauna and cold plunge. Dan and his team were so responsive and kind.

Honestly could not have hoped for a better spot on the lake. Everything from the pictures was there and looks even better in person. On top of that about 12 minutes from anything you want to do in Traverse City.

This place was perfect for what we were looking for! The inside is cozy and the outside was even better in person. Our two kiddos loved playing on the beach and we made great use of the fire pit. I can’t wait to return!
