Our group loved staying here! Perfect spot close enough for us to trailer our side by side to the dunes but far enough to not have to deal with the constant traffic. We would definitely stay here again!

Annual Trip to Dunes & Craigs Cruzers

Everyone had a great time & the house worked great for us. We especially enjoyed the use of the Kayaks. We had a change of plan & didn't have the family grand-dog with us afterall, although we didn't find out until the rest of the party arrived. We hope to have him next time, as he was welcome & was provided for in the reservation. Thanks so much!!

Great location

Cool spot that is right at Upper Silver Lake. A couple cool access points to the lake where the kids can swim and play in the sand. Just a short drive to the sand dunes and Lake Michigan. Didn’t realize at time of booking that you are responsible for all cleaning and washing sheets, but was able to pay for that to be taken care of later. Didn’t like the fact that we had to make all five beds when we got there. Not sure if this is due to not having cleaners or what. Other than that, it was a cool spot and Jon (Host) was very responsive and easy to work with.

We had a wonderful time staying at this property! There were 10 of us and we never felt crowded. The location is ideal with access to upper silver lake and close proximity to the entrance of the dunes. Also very close to the main strip with Craig’s Cruisers. The kayaks were an added bonus!

Silver Lake

The property was exactly as described. Communication with the host was simple and clear. When I booked the property I had not noticed the lack of cleaning fee. Guests have the option to save money by cleaning up after themselves or paying the host to do it. The host managed this misunderstanding with fairness. I enjoyed our stay and I recommend this listing.
