Labor Day weekend
The location of this property can’t be beat! The cottage was adorable and we thoroughly enjoyed the front deck and the back sunroom. Having the paddle boat, paddle boards and kayaks available for use was an added plus. We would love to go back!

Wonderful summer getaway
We loved our stay at Denise’s home on Upper Silver Lake! We were blown away by the cleanliness of the home and the space. It was perfect for our family. The sunroom and back deck overlooking the lake were crowd favorites. Denise was easy to get in contact with and was so pleasant to chat with. Book your next vacation here - you won’t regret it!
