Love Juniper Beach. My family's cottage was 2 doors down before sold in recent years. Cottage is very nice. We had a few hot and humid days, so wish there was a screen door for cross ventilation. Nice vacation and hope to return next year.

The view is beautiful from the cottage and we enjoyed the area with all the local things to do. I think Silver Lake and the dunes is a hidden gem.

Perfect weekend getway

We had a nice little week-end getaway with my husband and 4 year old daughter. The place was perfect and the cabin is very clean with everything you need. One thing is that there is no phone, internet reception at the cabin, but if that doesn't bother you, this is the perfect place to relax and spend time with your family.

Excellent family vacation

This little cottage was such a delightful place to stay! Comfortable beds, clean and beautiful decor (my boys loved looking and talking about the bear and antlers on the wall!), nicely stocked kitchen items, excellent view, and even s’more fixings complete with firewood and fire starter kit provided! We felt so invited and refreshed! Neighbors were nice, too! Nearby beaches were easily accessed and not too crowded. Overall, a great place to stay for some R&R at the Lake! Thanks for the memorable visit!

Weekend getaway.

This was a nice secluded spot. We came up for a Raptor event at Silver Lake, which was just a few minute drive away yet just far enough away to be peaceful. Opening the windows at night to hear the waves crashing on the beach was so relaxing. We would stay here again. The hosts were very nice. We loved the thoughtful touches. Roar!
