COTTAGE 3
The elevated cottage at Silver Oaks. A king bed, lake views, and a brick patio made for slow evenings by the fire.
AT A GLANCE
Cottage Three is the elevated cottage at Silver Oaks, and the one with the king bed. Inside, two bedrooms and a walk-in shower keep things simple and comfortable. Outside, a single brick patio holds everything an evening needs: a four-person dining area, a fire pit, and the lake beyond. Rinse off the day in the outdoor shower and settle in.
SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS
-
King bedroom + Queen bedroom -
Queen sofa bed in the living area
The only cottage at Silver Oaks with a king bedroom. No bunk room, suited for adults, couples, or families with older children seeking a refined Up North stay near Traverse City.
OUTDOORS
One brick patio, everything on it. A four-person dining area sits alongside the fire pit, so dinner drifts straight into fireside conversation without anyone moving far. An outdoor shower waits around the corner, and Silver Lake holds the view.
the cottage
An open-concept layout lets the kitchen, living area, and Silver Lake views exist as one connected space. The fully equipped kitchen is stocked with premium olive oils, organic seasonings, and grass-fed butter, everything in place from the moment you arrive. Clean lines, quality finishes, and a layout that never feels crowded, no matter how long you stay.

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.
