Silent Waters Retreat

We reserved last minute and when we arrived everything was freshly prepped and the stay was great. Very peaceful

My husband and I had such a lovely time here! Made great use of the kayaks and sauna. The host was very responsive and allowed for an early check in, which was much appreciated.

Beautiful location! Very peaceful with the lake view. Kayaks were nice to be able to use.

Beautiful and peaceful place, we didnt get check out instructions before we left but I think we did a good job.

Overall, we had a great time. Although, I was really disappointed with the “cold plunge” which was advertised but it was full of green dirty water with no way to dump, clean, or refill. This is one of the main reasons we booked the house so I was disappointed overall. When I reached out to the host, he said he’d call but never did. There were 2 boats and people on our dock which they said was not shared but obviously, it was. Those were the few things that made this trip less than perfect. Overall, the lakes were great, house was cute, neighborhood was safe, sauna was lovely.

I have mixed reviews. The house was beautiful and well arranged. Great view! The problem was the execution of the rental. First, when I rented, I made it clear that I was renting due to the cold plunge and inquired about whether I needed to bring anything or know anything. I was told it was self cooling. In fact, it was a horse trough filled with algae. No cover. There was no obvious way to drain it. I inquired and was told that things outside get dirty. It was not usable and that was just not an acceptable answer to me. Additionally, the house had literally no instructions. For example, how to use the sauna, where are the life vests (if there are life vests), where is beach access, etc. Additionally, there were no checkout instructions so we did nothing other than leave. I’ve never seen that happen. The dryer was still running when we got there and the house seemed cleaned, but not overly clean if that makes sense. 5 stars=house, 3 stars= property management.

We had such a great time, the place was perfect for our weekend getaway!

What a perfect vacation. We had the best time!

Beautiful house, the lake is amazing. Our group had a blast thank you again!

Excellent spot, very peaceful, beautifully decorated, fenced in yard for the dogs, plenty of kayaks, and very friendly neighbors

The house is cozy with a beach vibe. The lake is beautiful and peaceful

The home was clean, the area was amazing, they really helped get us a pontoon rental which was amazing. We had access to all 3 lakes. However the steps to the dock was a little scary but manageable. Overall I would definitely rent again

Great location right on the lake. Very peaceful neighborhood and host was great at communicating during our stay!

This place was very idyllic. We spent a couple of relaxing days and wish we could have stayed more

Beautiful view the house was super clean and the sauna had an amazing view

Had an absolutely wonderful time, I wish we could have stayed longer and used all the amenities! Hosts were super responsive and helpful and I loved the place. Beds were comfortable, view was beautiful, lots and lots of natural light.

Kayaks were fun.

Great place right on the lake

We had a great time, beautiful spot for a getaway at the lake

Amazing stay! The house was clean & well kept. Communication was efficient. Would recommend staying here!

The home was beautiful and clean and the view of the lake and Swans in the morning was a very pleasant and peaceful sight. Would stay again.

It was a very beautiful and peaceful experience during our stay! It felt cozy & homey, we enjoyed every minute of our stay here in Michigan especially celebrating me and my mom’s birthday with family together. Just wished we could have stayed for longer but will make sure that we get another chance to visit once again in the summer!

Fantastic place to stay on the lake! The views are amazing and make it all worth it. Friendly neighbors, close to things to do, everything for a lake life.

thank you

Very cozy , great sauna , great location , wonderful host .

The stay at the cabin on the lake was great! I felt very cozy in this cabin and watching the birds on the lake was a reset that I really appreciated. Remote and quiet; the perfect location to do some writing.

This place was lovely, but we weren’t given many instructions beforehand and Google took us to a different, nearby house. It might’ve been easy to figure out in the daylight, but not after dark. Also had to ask for instructions on the sauna. Host was responsive but most of the time was AI, and sent a message after basically guilting you into a five star review, saying to share anything negative privately. The house itself was nice, sauna was great. Could use some window blinds for privacy, but overall a lovely place.

Nice and Peaceful place, Stayed 10 days during February and enjoyed the fire places and the view of the lake, would definitely recommend it ,Winter or Summer.

A beautiful place for a weekend lakeside getaway. House had everything that was needed. Cozy and family friendly. A great stay.

Host was very responsive

Very nice stay

Tranquil location yet close to plenty of fun things to do. We loved the sauna but didnt get to use the ice bath due to the lake already being froze over! Easy in and out parking and Walmart even delivers here! Will return in the summer for sure

very nice place host we're great to work with. Would definitely recommend staying there

We had a great time here on a VERY last-minute Christmas trip. Very peaceful spot, and it was great that it was dog friendly. You can get down to the lake via a very short walk to through the backyard. The host was not kidding when they said they had a fully stocked kitchen - we did a lot of cooking and had everything we needed and more (and the kitchen and stove are BEAUTIFUL!)! The fireplace in the main living room was so wonderful and warm. We would definitely stay here again. Our (minor) complaints were that some of the furniture is a bit old, the master bedroom fan rattles a lot, and we could not figure out how to work the fireplace in the living room adjoining the kitchen because there were no instructions/house manual. Other than that, we would definitely stay here again - it was well worth the trip. Thank you for accommodating us on such short notice!

This place is beautiful! Felt right at home and we all loved it so much! The only flaw was the master bed was very uncomfortable to sleep in (hard and sunked in) aside from that everything else was beautiful!

Great place to stay, everything was perfect.

Great place, very responsive to messages. Will be back.

My husband and I booked this beautiful lake house for a fall weekend get away. The home and surroundings were beautiful and the sauna was a great added touch! Seems like it would be a fantastic summer stay as well with the lake and water toys, will have to try it out again!!

Very nice , clean lake house . Had a great weekend. Good views of the lake right from the bedroom . Fun having the kayaks even with it being cold. Deer came right up to the house while we were outside . Thank you to the host!!

We had a great time with the family and our pets! The house is beautiful and we will definitely return!

This place was great! We loved it! My friends and I went for fall break and it was everything we could ask for

Had a great time and loved staying here. Right on the water which the kids loved. Will definitely be staying here again.

This property is absolutely fantastic—it’s everything you need to rest, release, and reset. It was so quiet and peaceful, the perfect place to recharge, with stunning views, the water right there, a relaxing sauna, kayaks, a pontoon, and beautiful décor thoughtfully done. The hosts were wonderful—quick to respond, incredibly accommodating, and so kind even with my many questions and schedule changes. Even the neighbors (and their sweet dog!) were amazing—friendly, helpful, and even brought over firewood and shared recommendations, which made the stay feel even more special. Truly, this is a stunning and peaceful retreat. If you’re thinking about booking it, just do it—you won’t regret it!

I had a great stay - Accurate listing, dog friendly, clean space! I travelled solo but this is a good space for a small group, plenty of room to spread out. The large deck, large couch, large kitchen, sauna, and waterfront views were key to my visit.

It was absolutely beautiful perfect for my parents and my siblings to just get away and relax we absolutely loved the A&W Rootbeer stand it’s delicious!! It was really easy to check in. It was very clean and had amazing views from the lake my family really enjoyed the sauna and we had a few campfires with s’mores. We would love to come again we had a blast and enjoyed our stay!!!!

This is a great place to stay! Beautiful view, amazing outdoor area complete with a sauna! We only with we would have had more time to spend here! Cannot say enough good things about this place! Thank you for the amazing stay!

It was a beautiful home with an amazing view. We would definitely stay here again.

This place was great. We enjoyed our stay with our pups! Highly recommend. We hope to be back soon!

Very modern looking inside. Some minor concerns for anyone with mobility issues or difficulty with steps . Beautiful view and nice kitchen set up. Good fishing!

This location is beautiful! Everything about it - the inside is modern and very clean, and the outside deck area is a dream! The kayaks and the sauna were a huge plus for my family! Very dog friendly with a gated fence. Great experience!

Beautiful lake house with all new upgrades inside. The house is small, but does not feel like it inside at all! Our family of 6 slept here comfortably. Host was responsive to any issues that arose and quick with solutions. Would definitely stay again!
