Relax on the beach, on one of the decks or in a cozy nook or in any room in the cottage. Life can be so busy and this is a great place just to hang out. However, if you are looking for more, there is plenty to see and explore. We are located 6 miles south of Silver Lake and the Silver Lake dunes - enjoy swimming, boating, hiking or even a jeep or dune buggy ride. There are also beautiful dunes and trails adjacent to our property. There is golf (3 courses within 10 miles), horseback riding, a winery and more. Ludington & Muskegon are within 30 miles.

Weekend Wonderland

5 of 5
Submitted: March 19, 2013 Stayed: March 2013
We spent an amazing weekend with our Varsity Bowling team and some of the parents! A true bonding experience...played board games, video games, ping pong, watched movies, had a Wii bowling competition, nerf gun wars, and so much more.
The (Sand) Castle is amazing! The pictures do not do it justice. The architecture is truly unique, including the secret room, and the home still looks like its brand new! It comes with every amenity imaginable.
The views of the lake are awe inspiring and the sunsets amazing.
We highly recommend this home to anyone considering some time away.
The only disappointment was that we eventually had to leave!

Magic at the Castle

5 of 5
Submitted: July 9, 2010 Stayed: June 2010
We spent a magical week in June at the Castle. Grandma and Grandpa and three families (13 of us in all) had a ball! Our ages ranged from 2 months old to age 60, and the accommodations were perfect for us. Everything was as promised with the exception of no crib, and no pack and play (luckily we brought our own). Otherwise, the facilities, amenities, and setting well exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend it, and if you luck out like we did with good weather, you won't be disappointed. There is so much to do in the area, and whether you have teenagers, grade school agers, or oldsters, there is something for everyone. The host family was very helpful, and they have a beautiful home to share. We'll be back!

A TOTALLY EXCELLENT GET AWAY!

5 of 5
Submitted: August 25, 2008 Stayed: August 2008
Former N.Muskegon residents, moved (reluctantly) to WI..:) , rented property with my sister/family from Lansing and brought son in from San Diego.
Property is all it looks like in pictures, and then better even in person! :) Location=magnificent; Property/Amenities/Maintained=excellent; Owners/Communications=excellent & most enjoyable!
We would most certainly recommend this property to anyone and everyone! (Except for a 'selfish' side to it that wants to keep this a 'hidden gem') :) There are no words to sufficiently explain the beauty of Lake Michigan if you have not experienced such in person! Raw, powerful, exhilirating, humbling and soothing all at the same time.
Pretty much perfect! :)

panoramic views of Lake Michigan

5 of 5
Submitted: July 30, 2008 Stayed: July 2008
This spacious, immaculately clean Lake Michigan beach house was the ideal venue for our large family's vacation. The numerous windows and decks overlooking the lake allow for constant encounters with the natural beauty of the property's dunes and sweeping grandeur of Lake Michigan. The house's four levels mean that those who sleep late will not be awoken by those who arise early. Large family meals are easily accommodated by the kitchen island, dining area table, and outside deck.

"The Castle" (or "The Magic Kingdom" as one of the neighbors referred to it) can accomodate both those who prefer to spend the day sitting quietly reading and those who want to charge down to the beach for a volleyball game or swim. Everyone seems to gravitate to a favorite spot to enjoy the sunset a day's end.

The local area is sleepy but charming. We enjoyed delicious sub sandwiches at the Cottage Cafe at Stoney Lake and the small Stoney Lake store was great for staples (not to mention ice cream.) The fishermen in our group gave high marks to Stoney Lake. The golfers were satisifed with the nearby links. Animal lovers took to the horseback riding at Rainbow Ranch and the Lewis Petting Farm and Market.

The only change we would make to the venue would be the addition of a railing on the stairs leading from the beach back up to the house. It feels potentially dangerous without one. Otherwise no complaints whatsoever!

We hope to return for another stay.

The views are stunning and the home is very comfortable and well-furnished. You can gather a large group together in one area, or there is enough space to spread out and give everyone privacy. It has every amenity you can think of. The only downside was there was no access to the Internet, which they had advertised on the website.
