Everything begins
at the lake
Every amenity at Silver Oaks is included with your stay. The water, the grounds, and everything in between, available from the moment you arrive.
01
The Lake
Silver Lake is exceptionally clear, calm, and private. One hundred and sixty-seven feet of frontage belongs exclusively to Silver Oaks guests. No public access. No outside visitors. The kind of water that defines an Up North summer near Traverse City.
02
On the Water
Paddleboards, kayaks, and beach accessories are available for all guests throughout the season. Two docks serve the property: a boat dock for guests bringing their own, and a swim dock for those who want to stay close to shore.
Dock and paddleboard access opens May 01. On-water boat delivery available from June 01.
03
The Grounds
Each cottage has its own private patio and fire pit. Shared spaces include grilling patios, a beachside patio, and yard games across the professionally landscaped property. Two wood-burning stations are available throughout the season.
04
Pilates
A complimentary outdoor Pilates class is held every Wednesday at 10 a.m. throughout June, July, and August, open to all guests. Private sessions available on request.
05
EV Charging
Two EV chargers on the property at no additional cost. No reservation required.
