Guest Reviews!
Great lake access, very fun for kids
Very nice cabins and reasonable as well. Great location right on the shores of lake Michigan
Great resort with a huge beach, lots of space, great rates and view.
We have stayed here many years and absolutely love it! The views are amazing and the area is so relaxing. Every year we plan our trip with two other couples and enjoy our campfires and views of the lake and ships passing by. Hope to spend time again this summer. Thank you for always making our stay pleasant!
If you are looking for something fancy this is not the place for you. Rustic and very old school. Nice place and a beautiful view!
Our family loves staying at Silver Sands!
