Yearly family vacation

Every year we take a family vacation somewhere different. We had friends recommend the Silver Lake area and we chose to stay at Stony Lake 15-20 minutes away. It was perfect! Stony Lake is quiet and picturesque! The cottage was quaint and comfortable and had everything we needed. Places we needed or wanted to go were all within 1/2 hour drive. The cottage was the perfect place to relax and unwind for a week!

Secluded Getaway

Away from the hustle and bustle, this property is tucked away in the woods. Where Mother Nature is the soundtrack. And beautiful sandy, Lake Michigan beaches are just a few miles away. Waking up and watching the morning sun rise over the Marsh, reading a book on the deck, sipping some coffee. It’s what I needed.

Peaceful. That was the word for the week.

This is the third year we have rented this cottage. My 3 kids now ask each year when we are going. Being on the end of the row of cottages overlooking the marsh gives you the ultimate privacy. You don't see or hear any neighbors. We would eat meals outdoors on the deck over the marsh. As others have said, the area at the dock isn't great for swimming. But we rented a pontoon and loved it. Kids also tubed the channel to Lake Michigan.

Nice getaway

We had a nice stay. The location was great. We were looking for a getaway where we could social distance and this was perfect. It’s in a pretty rural area but there are still plenty of things to do. We loved driving to Silver Lake. The beach was great for the kids to swim. We were a little disappointed that the landscaping was not kept up. You could tell at one time it was well loved but is getting overgrown. The kids wanted to fish but the area in front of the house was to overgrown. The beds were comfortable and we liked having a grill and fire pit. The bathroom was recently remodeled. We enjoyed seeing swans, ducks, geese, and deer. We did lose internet and cable tv. The owner was quick to respond and had the issue resolved promptly. We would come back!

Marsh Property Stoney Lake MI

Property was nice, could have been cleaner, lots of bugs in window tracks, on counters, etc. Landscape appears to have been beautiful at one time needs some major clean up and trimming of trees and bushes. My kids were disappointed that there was no where to swim around the house everything was overgrown and “mucky”. You really need some type of a boat if you rent this house to be able to get to the areas on the lake you can enjoy. ***Biggest downfall, NO AIR CONDITIONING! This made it very uncomfortable especially to sleep. There were lots of fans and several dehumidifiers, the owners tried to make it as comfortable as they could but it was an extremely hot week (in the 90’s). All in all we made the best of it🙂

Secluded and quiet cottage, lots to do nearby

We enjoyed our stay at the marsh house. It’s very quiet and secluded there. Favorites: Having the kayaks available for daily use on the lake, the fire pit on the deck, king sized master bedroom, washer/dryer for swimsuits and towels, both gas and charcoal grills, outdoor dining area, plenty of sleeping, great TVs with services for evening movies, many local beaches and attractions. We visited Silver Lake-mini golf, Mac Woods Dune Rides (go at about 4:30pm—no wait!), many beach spots—Silver Lake State Park, floating down the stream from Stony Lake to Lake MI, Little Sable Lighthouse and beach, Golden Sands (tiny, kinda private) beach, Pentwater—the town and Mears State Park (favorite), Fox Barn Winery (would go again!), husband and son golfed at Benona Shores. That being said, we were initially disappointed that the lake access for this property was not at all swim-able. It was very weedy and marshy and full of turtles. But we were able to enjoy Stony Lake on the kayaks and found our lake fun nearby instead of using it as a swimming lake. So just keep that in mind if you’re looking to just stay around the cottage for your water fun.

Home Away From Home

This property is wonderful choice. The secluded house feels like a cozy home in the woods. The furniture is comfortable especially the bed. I was impressed with the well stocked kitchen. The house is surrounded by nature...if you are an early morning riser, the sunrise from the deck is phenominal!

We love this cottage!

This is the 2nd year we’ve rented this cottage and my kids now call it “our cottage”. Best of secluded cottage with tons of space. I love waking up to the view of the marsh and enjoying meals on the deck overlooking nature. Perfect for kids. They use the upstairs rooms and enjoying having their own space. Access to the lake and dock is great too.

Secluded cottage with lots of room to explore

This is a large cottage on a very private party of the lake. We enjoyed our stay. Everyone in town and nearby was very friendly. We heard no noise except for nature and that was a-ok by us! We only had 3 people staying but you could fit many more. We visited Pentwater for lunch and Silver Lake another day. Both very close in proximity. Our 15m old son also thoroughly enjoyed Lewis Farm- also quite close. Petting zoo was the highlight. Would for sure stay in this property again.

A quiet piece of heaven

This cottage is truly a hidden treasure. Being the last cottage on the northeast side of the lake gives you such privacy and beautiful views. We loved sitting out on the deck looking over the marsh and seeing nothing but nature. The amount of outdoor space was what was so astonishing and helped make it so relaxing. My 3 kids (ages 15, 19 and 21) all loved it as well and want me to book it again next year. We went kayaking on the lake every day. The kids tubed down the channel to Lake Michigan. We fished from the dock, built campfires, and really just relaxed. The cottage has plenty of space. Upstairs was perfect for the kids. Thanks for an amazing summer vacation full of memories.
