COTTAGE 4
More of everything: three bedrooms, two walk-in showers, a fireplace inside, and a private patio with a fire pit outside, all overlooking Silver Lake.
AT A GLANCE
Cottage Four gives your group room to spread out. Three bedrooms, two walk-in showers (one fully accessible), and a fireplace for cool evenings inside. Step onto the private patio and the day keeps going: outdoor dining, a fire pit, and an outdoor shower after hours on the water, with Silver Lake in view the whole time.
SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS
-
Two Queen bedrooms + bunk room with twin bunks -
Queen sofa bed in the living area
Well suited for larger groups, multi-generational stays, or anyone looking for a premium lakefront cottage near Traverse City with space to spread out.
OUTDOORS
A private patio built for the whole evening. Outdoor dining, a fire pit, and comfortable seating share one space, with everything just a few steps apart. An outdoor shower rinses off the lake, and the water stays in view until the fire burns down.
the cottage
The spacious open-concept layout features high ceilings and a kitchen built around a large quartz peninsula, the kind that invites everyone in before a meal is even started. The living area flows naturally from the kitchen, anchored by a fireplace and Smart TV. A queen sofa bed means there is always room for one more.

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.
