Wonderful stay! We didn't want to leave! Cozy and secluded which was perfect for our family with little kids. We could let the kids run around outside early morning while making breakfast and not worry about waking any neighbors up. We appreciated the stocked house of toilet paper, paper plates, plastic utensils, etc. Everything we needed was there. Even including fans and pack n plays. Only thing we wished was that the door and window downstairs had a curtain or blind. It was slightly more difficult to put babies down for naps but it was doable. House was extremely clean! Thank you for the great stay!
We couldnât ask for a better place to stay for our weekend at the sand dunes! The cabin is lovely, clean, and centrally located. The owners even provided firewood for our camp fire at night! Itâs 5-stars for sure!
Pros: Plenty of places to sleep, clean, well stocked, great location
Cons: no wifi or tv (both were not listed on description so my fault not noticing), linens in primary bedroom were stained, biggest issue was when we took a shower the whole cabin would smell like rotten eggs (sulfar) and didnât feel like we got clean with the water because of the smell. My kids had skin reactions to it. Owners indicated it was from well water but from what I read can be corrected. This is the main reason we wouldnât return.
This was the perfect cozy cottage in the woods. Lots of room for our trailers and riding stuff. Relaxing environment for everyone. Only surprises on our part was no tv or washer/dryer. Looking back at posting that was my bad. I assumed these items based on other rentals we have stayed in. But indeed they are not listed. Overall a great stay.
Our second year back and we enjoyed it just as much as the first time. Beautiful property that is off the beaten path but close to everything. Cabin has all you need. Adults love the outdoor shower and plenty of space outside to relax. Thank you for allowimg us to stay.
What a perfect home with a ideal location to the Dunes. I love the privacy of this house. We had plenty of space to have the kids play outside and enjoy a bonfire. Can't wait to book this house again!
We had a great time and enjoyed the cabin. The only thing was it was advertised as a 2 bath and there is only 1 bath and an outside shower but we made it work. I would definitely rent this cabin again!
The cabin was in a great location! It allowed us privacy to enjoy the peace and quiet of the wooded area, but it also allowed us access to the Dunes and lakes within minutes. It was very relaxing.
This cabin is nestled down a wooded lane and is absolutely perfect for your getaway to Silver Lake! We spent our days riding at the dunes and enjoyed our evenings back at the cabin around the firepit. We truly felt like we were in the middle of nowhere and it was perfect! Communication surpassed our expectations. Although it was only 4 adults we had in the cabin, this place is perfect for families with kids! We kept saying how much fun our kids would have had there. Don't hesitate booking this place, it's everything you could need!
Absolutely loved the cabin! It was beautiful, clean, great owners, large property, close the the dunes & town! Couldnât be happier! We will be back next year to make this a tradition
The property is nestled in the woods. There is no WIFI and no T.V. so you completely disconnect. I didn't know this when I booked so it was a surprise, especially to the 6 teenagers we had with us. This made it difficult to google restaurants to eat and directions to get around. Once you drive off the property you can find service about a mile down the road. It was a great cabin though. The girls had their space in the loft and the boys in the basement. My husband and myself of course took the bedroom. The cabin is fully stocked with pots, plates, cups ect. waffle iron was a bonus. There is no dishwasher so everyone had to pitch in and wash their own dishes. The sand was a little messy but we knew this before renting, bigger outdoor/indoor mats would be useful. The beds were comfy and the home is clean. Property is beautiful!
Beautiful cabin with just the right mix of privacy and proximity to Silver Lake and Lots of Lake Michigan beaches. We had a blast both relaxing at the cabin and exploring lake Michigan
Quiet and secluded - great socially distant getaway
This property is very nice and has a lot of sleeping space. Having to bring our own sheets was a bit of a hassle, but at least I knew my sheets were nice and clean during a pandemic. The kids enjoyed the hammock and the porch swings. It was nice to be so close to Silver Lake State park. We brought our boat and used the boat launch there every day.
By the way, if your kids are accident prone like mine, the nearest ER is only 16 minutes away and the personnel there are quite experienced in cleaning and stitching up sandy wounds, so that's a plus.
We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful cabin. It was the perfect getaway for our family. We enjoyed the peace and quiet along with all of the nature that came with the house. We would definitely stay here again.
Brian and Lori Aeschliman are the owners of this beautiful cabin. Brian is a machinist by trade and an avid builder. We started this cabin project 14 years ago by taking this cabin apart near our home in Ohio and sanding every log and putting it back together again at the Sand Dunes, one of our family's favorite vacation spots. With the help of other dune friends and family we've built this cabin. It has been an adventure and has turned out really awesome, We always have a week that the friends that helped put this up are invited to come and enjoy it with us. There has been a lot of fun and many friendships started up north. The boys love to drive their latest creation that they've made on the dunes Like trophy trucks, dune buggies Jeeps etc. And the girls love to go out to the beach and catch the rays.We feel blessed that we've had the opportunity to work and play together on this project.
