Guest Rules & Policies
Welcome to Silver Sands Resort! We’re proud to be a small, family-friendly resort where guests can relax, enjoy the lake, and feel at home. Our cabins were built in the 1920s and are part of what makes Silver Sands Resort special. They have a lot of character and history, and we ask that you treat them—and the surrounding property—with the same care you’d want for your own home.
To help keep Silver Sands comfortable and enjoyable for everyone, we ask that all guests follow these simple guidelines.
During Your Stay
- Check-out: Please check out by 10:00 a.m.
- Quiet hours: Please respect our neighbors and fellow guests by keeping noise to a minimum after 10:00 p.m.
- Lake safety: Children must be supervised by a responsible adult while swimming.
- Parking: Please park only in designated areas. Beachfront parking is not permitted.
- Guests: Resort facilities are for registered Silver Sands guests. Please do not exceed your cabin’s maximum occupancy or bring additional visitors without prior approval.
- Furniture: Please leave indoor and outdoor furniture where you found it.
- Trash: Place all trash in the large dumpster at the back of the driveway behind Cabin #6. Please never put trash in the fire pits.
- Toilets: Only toilet paper may be flushed. No wipes of any kind—including “flushable” wipes, baby wipes, or cleaning wipes—may be flushed down the toilets. Do not flush feminine hygiene products, diapers, condoms, toys, paper towels, or any other items. Guests may be responsible for plumbing repairs, service calls, or other costs resulting from prohibited items.
- Fireworks: Fireworks are not permitted anywhere on resort property.
Smoking & Vaping
Smoking and vaping are not permitted inside cabins or near open windows. This includes tobacco, cannabis, e-cigarettes, and similar products. A $500 cleaning fee will be charged for violations and is due upon receipt of the invoice.
Pets
We love our four-legged guests! 🐾
- Maximum 2 pets per cabin.
- Pet fee: $50 for the first pet and $25 for the second.
- Please keep pets off furniture and bedding.
- Please sweep/vacuum pet hair and clean up pet messes before departure.
- Guests are responsible for any pet-related damage, mess, excessive cleaning, or replacement costs. Additional cleaning is $45 per hour, and damaged items may be charged at replacement cost.
- Please report any pet damage or significant mess to Management.
Cleaning & Departure
We do not charge a cleaning fee for normal use of your cabin. Please wash all dishes before departure and do not put dirty dishes back in the cabinets.
If a cabin requires more than one hour of cleaning beyond normal cleaning, an excessive-cleaning charge of $45 per hour will apply and is due upon receipt of the invoice.
Respect for Our Property
Guests are responsible for any loss or damage caused by themselves, their guests, pets, or anyone for whom they are responsible.
Please leave the cabin and outdoor areas as you would like to find them when you arrive. Our cabins have been welcoming guests for generations, and we appreciate your help in preserving their character for the generations to come.
Reservations & Cancellations
All reservations and deposits are final and non-refundable. We do not provide refunds or credits for cancellations, changes in plans, illness, emergencies, weather, no-shows, or early departures.
Guests remain responsible for the full cost of their confirmed reservation, even if they shorten their stay or check out early.
By paying your deposit, you acknowledge and agree to these reservation terms. Please review your dates and plans carefully before booking.
A Few Final Notes
Guests are expected to conduct themselves respectfully and avoid any nuisance, disturbance, or unsafe behavior. Management reserves the right, as permitted by law, to require a guest to leave the property for violations of these rules or disruptive, unsafe, or inappropriate conduct.
Commercial photography, filming, or other media intended for commercial use or profit requires prior written permission from the owner.
Drones: For the privacy, safety, and enjoyment of all guests, the use or operation of drones or other unmanned aircraft is not permitted anywhere on Silver Sands Resort property without prior written permission from Management.
Thank you for helping us keep Silver Sands Resort the peaceful, welcoming place our guests love. Enjoy your stay, relax, and make some great memories!
Guest Reviews!
Friendly staff, pet friendly, and a great view
Growing up we stayed here every year. I absolutely love this place and hope to make it back.
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!
Great resort with a huge beach, lots of space, great rates and view.
Nice clean cabins. Very quite. My family has been staying here since 1997 and always have a wonderful time. Right on lake Michigan and you can't beat the price.
Have been going there for 20 years. Just took our grand kids and they loved it . the owner went out of her way to make it a pleasant experience. Will go again in a heartbeat
Great lake access, very fun for kids
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!
Very nice cabins and reasonable as well. Great location right on the shores of lake Michigan
