Our cottage is part of the original Flora-Dale Resort located on the south side of Silver Lake, so there are many great amenities to enjoy! It was originally a one-story cabin that we converted to a two-story back in 2003. Specifically, we are located in the lower 'vee' of the original resort about 200 feet from the lake. Come explore the beauty and fun that Silver Lake has to offer! Sit on our glider on our front deck to enjoy a view of the lake and dunes!
Dune Vista offers a HEATED pool, tennis, pickle ball, full-court basketball, and volleyball courts, shuffleboard, tether ball, horseshoes, and ping pong (in the Clubhouse behind the pool). You can moor your own small to medium boat if you bring your own augers. We share a large beach. It's shallow for a long ways out. So, the best swimming is at the drop off, across the lake at the dunes, at Silver Lake State Park beach 1/2 mile away, or at our nearby Lake Michigan beaches.
The heated pool is to the right past our cottage and only a short walk up the ramp to the right of the parking lot. Remember the key hanging just to the right of the main floor bathroom door by the stove. You'll need it to unlock the pool safety gate.
We gladly share our hobo pie makers, wienie forks, gas grill, two kayaks, tennis racquets, basketball, crochet set and bocce game. A supply of fire wood for campfires is available behind our cottage. We are one mile away from 'downtown' Silver Lake with Craig's Cruisers go-karts, zip line, mini-golf, bumper boats, and paddle boats. By the way, Craig's has a new roller-coaster! Many restaurants and souvenir shops are walkable or bike rideable. We fell in love and have enjoyed the cottage life for over 20 years! We'd love to help you get to know our beautiful area!
Parkside grocery store is only 1/2 mile east for things you forgot. GB Donut Shop has great coffee and sweet rolls! The Whippy Dip and Tasty Creations are our favorite ice cream spots! The Little Point Sable Lighthouse is our favorite sunset place. You can rent dune buggies or Jeeps to drive on the dunes or boats for on the lake. Mac Woods Dune Rides are another way to experience the dunes.
Pentwater, a darling beach town, is only a 15 minute drive north on B-15. The Ludington and the Whitehall/Montague areas are only 30 minutes away. Bring your bikes for scenic rides on our Hart-Montague bike trail.
Please bring all trash out to our trash bin before you leave. Thanks!
