Wonderful stay with great views!
5/5 We had a wonderful stay and particularly enjoyed the view of the lake from the front deck.
Our kids enjoyed time at the beach, which was just a short walk from the cottage.
The cottage was well equipped for all of our needs, clean, and inviting. I recommend!
Wonderful Home and Location
5/5 This property is wonderful! Spacious, relaxing and functional.
Most importantly it felt like home. There is room for everyone, comfortable beds, and all the dishes needed for cooking and eating meals. Variety of games/puzzles for when the weather is poor and SO CLOSE to the beach when the weather is fantastic.
Did I forget to mention the views - really stunning! Great for watching for ships and boats or just taking in that fresh blue water.
Our group had lots of people coming and going, so it was nice to have inside and outside deck gathering areas. Stayed and entire week and glad we did. Got to enjoy the beach, the dunes/State Park, town and exploring around the area. Not too far from Hart, Pentwater, Ludington if want to go shopping, on a fishing charter, or out to dinner.
Would recommend staying at Praline Woods 100 percent.
Wonderful vacation home
5/5 We rented this cottage for a week in June 2024. This Lake Michigan home has great spaces for multi-generational relaxation, both indoors and outside, with panoramic views of the lake and beach. It is well equipped, clean and lovely. A private neighborhood beach is a short walk from the house, with fine sand and shallow shoreline which small children can enjoy. A state park with lighthouse is just down the road, and other recreational activities are close by. Our out-of-town extended family had a wonderful visit here. Highly recommend this home, especially for a family vacation.
Amazing sunsets and views
5/5 We really enjoyed experiencing a 'Pure Michigan' weekend at this home, which had amazing views of Lake Michigan and gorgeous sunsets each night. The only thing that was somewhat inconvenient was that the entire town of Silver Lake shuts down at 10:00 pm - as long as you are prepared for that you will be fine, but we had planned to get a pizza after going to the winery for live music Friday eve (highly recommend that by the way) because the Silver Pointe General Store was listed online as open until 11:00 but didn't answer their phone after 10:00. Then even when they are open until 10:00 they don't take pizza orders after 8:15 (?????) - so be prepared for this sleepy town and have food on hand where you are staying!

Family Vacation
5/5 We had a fantastic stay! The house is gorgeous! The property was perfect for my large family. We just loved sitting on the front porch watching the boats during the day and the stars at night!
