Tucked in a peaceful neighborhood, this well-appointed home grants you exclusive shared access to Silver Lake — just a half-mile stroll away.

Tucked in a peaceful neighborhood, this well-appointed home grants you exclusive shared access to Silver Lake—just a half-mile stroll away. Spend your mornings fishing from the small dock, enjoy a picnic lunch under the pines, or fire up the grill at the lake's edge while soaking in the serene setting. There’s even a small sandy beach perfect for sunbathing or skipping stones.
Back at the house, unwind in the fenced-in backyard with lovely natural views—ideal for morning coffee or watching the sunset from the back porch with a glass of local wine or whiskey in hand.
Inside, you’ll find fun for everyone with a pool table, board games, and a welcoming living space for relaxing after a day of exploring. The home also includes a Wet Bar and Entertainment Room — perfect for evenings in with friends or family. With two desks and fast internet, it’s also ideal for a work retreat or remote workers who want to stay productive while enjoying a peaceful change of scenery.
Whether you’re here to relax by the lake, sip wine on a vineyard tour, or explore the stunning natural beauty of the region, this cozy home is your perfect four-season base.

Gorgeous, very clean home. Everything we needed was provided. The owner was prompt at replying. I would stay again in the future.

Very nice, clean, and comfortable home with plenty of space. B was responsive and helpful to the very minor issues we had (including one self inflicted - sorry!)
6 / 10Average·Jun 2026
Our experience was fine. I'm not used to renting with such spartan household essentials. They left (1) one automatic dishwashing soap pod. So we couldn't wash dishes in the dishwasher more than once during our stay, or we had to go buy more for ourselves.
The furniture was comfortable. The beds were comfortable, I was very grateful for that, as that was one of our number one priorities. The house was super clean and well maintained. It is a good location, very nice neighborhood. We felt very safe.
I would consider staying again.
