COTTAGE 2
A private lakefront cottage on Silver Lake where the best moments happen outside. Deck dining, an outdoor shower, a lounge area, and a fire pit waiting at the end of the stone path.
AT A GLANCE
There is a particular rhythm to a stay at Cottage Two. Mornings on the deck. Afternoons on the water. An outdoor shower after a long day in the sun. Evenings that drift from the lounge area down the stone path to the fire pit, long after the sky goes dark. Cozy, refined, and as much about the outdoors as the indoors.
SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS
-
Queen bedroom + bunk room (2 twin bunks) -
Queen sofa bed in the living area
Well suited for couples, small families, or close friends looking for a private Up North escape near Traverse City.
OUTDOORS
A private deck with six-person dining. A lounge area that catches the afternoon light. An outdoor shower, a stone path, and a fire pit with Adirondack chairs waiting at the end of it. All of it looking out over Silver Lake.
the cottage
The open layout connects the living area and kitchen naturally, creating an easy flow between cooking, gathering, and stepping outside. The fully equipped kitchen is stocked with premium olive oils, organic seasonings, and grass-fed butter, everything in place for your first morning. A washer and dryer and Smart TV round out a cottage where every practical detail has been taken care of before you arrive.

The Silver Oaks Experience
Every stay at Silver Oaks includes access to 167 feet of private Silver Lake frontage, two docks, paddleboards, kayaks, beach gear, grilling patios, and beautifully landscaped shared grounds.
Each cottage is stocked with Grown Alchemist bath amenities, premium kitchen essentials, and high-quality linens — because the details of a Northern Michigan lakefront stay should be as refined as the setting.
Minutes from downtown Traverse City, Silver Oaks guests have access to a curated partner network offering private chef service, on-site massage, pontoon rental, concierge grocery delivery, and wine and beer tours throughout the region. Many partners are reserved months in advance. We recommend coordinating at the time of booking.
