Unique Vacation Rental
Nestled in the trees, overlooking the Silver Lake Sand dunes, we enjoyed a week long stay on this interesting property. The best parts included two Spacious bathrooms, the comfy sunken living room , the outdoor space with plenty of room for guests at the campfire and best of all the on site Pickleball court that we used daily. Our host was friendly and welcoming on our first day and had worked around the clock to clear debris from a recent storm before our arrival. Our family of six enjoyed a great week!

Great location - rustic & spacious
The property owners are very nice, we met them briefly. We stayed in late July, it was extremely warm and I was not aware this house did not have central air. There were a few cooling units but the house layout is spread out so much it's difficult to cool the living /kitchen area down, or the other bedroom areas, especially the upper loft (one of the bedrooms) was super hot. A whirlpool tub was listed as one of the amenities which I was really looking forward to, but it doesn't work. The photo of the silver lake beach access is a bit deceiving. In the photo it looks like you could hang out there and swim, but it's very small /narrow, not a swimming spot, and really mainly has a dock for where others keep their jet skis/boats, etc. You could launch a kayak from it though. The deck spaces are great, there is a pickle ball court on the property (bring your own pickle ball rackets/balls unless you make arrangements beforehand with the owner). Keep in mind, you'll hear/see a lot of traffic, it's off a busy road but there are tall trees and so it feels somewhat secluded at the same time. It's an older house, showers are maybe warm/maybe not, but I get the impression the new owner is working on improvements. Neat place, but it felt pricey based on no central air and not all amenities were available.

Tree House Mansion
My kids called it a Tree House Mansion! It was perfect for my bigger family. Steve came in person on the first full day to make sure all was well with us, that was a nice touch! There were plenty of towels, bedding, and other supplies that were needed. My family wants to go back ASAP! Thanks a bunch Steve!
