About Traverse City Vacation Cottages

Traverse City hotels and resorts are in abundance in this top Northern Michigan destination! We invite you to stay with us at our quaint lakeside cottage resort on beautiful Silver Lake — just a 10-minute drive from Traverse City.

We have owned Traverse City Vacation Cottages since 1989 and take great pride in keeping our resort in tip-top condition. Over the years, we have hosted hundreds of families who have enjoyed the magic of a cottage-on-a-lake getaway.

Our resort is located on 70 ft of flat, sandy Silver Lake frontage – with no steps or stairs. Complete with docks, swings, a swimming raft, kayaks, paddle boards, hammocks, and other beach accessories that are shared by our guests. Silver Lake has clear sparkling water, surrounded by pine and hardwood trees with islands and peninsulas. The lake is great for boating, fishing (Bluegill, Bass, Walleye, Sunfish), paddling, and swimming. We also have a large backyard to enjoy yard games.

Our two cozy lakeside cottages each offer their own unique features and amenities. Willow Cottage, and Maple Grove Cottage each include an outdoor table, charcoal grill, and campfire pits with wood provided. We live on the property and have an additional 30 ft of lake frontage for our personal use — we also have our seaplane and boat docked there.

We are always nearby to help and provide sightseeing advice and restaurant recommendations. You can also check out our blog to learn more about all the fun things to do in Traverse City!
