Silver Lake IN cottage sleeps 9. Two full baths. Water sports, games, and movies

Silver Lake is a quiet 112 acres with Large Mouth Bass, bluegills, crappies, and perch, with a channel connecting it to undeveloped North Little's 10 acres. In North Little, you can anchor and relax by listening to the various birds singing.
The lakes have a 10 MPH speed limit, so you are not threatened with noisy, speeding boats. A boat ramp and dock are on the property.
We have four kayaks, a paddle boat, floaties, and pool noodles for fun in the water. The water is 2 feet deep at the seawall and tapers to 6 feet at the end of the 30' dock.
We have a 24' pontoon boat available to rent for $100 per day of usage. Gas is included in the rental price. The boat is tied up to our dock.
Our 16'X20' deck faces the lake with eight chairs, a hammock, a grill, and a table.
Your lodging is a rustic, knotty pine, 1 1/2-story lakefront cottage. Your entire family will enjoy the indoor and outdoor games and activities, watching a family of Mute Swans swim by, our resident Bald Eagles hunt, our nesting Purple Martins dart and soar hunting bugs, or just sitting around enjoying nature.

An extended weekend getaway
The stay at the cottage was one of the most relaxing vacations I have ever been on. The cottage itself is full of nostalgia and has all the things you need to stay entertained for hours each days. The lake is quite and peaceful and all the neighbors on the lake are friendly. I would highly recommend this rental to others looking for a nice enjoyable place to relax and unwind.

Weekend stay
Bob was great to work with! The property is as described. Cute, retro, little place. Lots of games and things to do at the cottage. Lots of seating and sleeping spaces. Beds are small for 2 adults, but plenty of space to sleep. Fishing wasn't great, but we aren't professional fishermen either.

Live & Laugh on Silver Lake
Ever in the mood to be taken back in time to your grandparents cottage on the lake? Then look no further than the Benjamin’s place on Silver Lake. It has everything you need for a good time (pontoon, kayaks, fire pit, LOTR on VHS, yard & board games etc), the neighbors are friendly and it was exactly what we were looking for in our friend trip get away from the city life. Communication from the hosts was clear and the hospitality was very much appreciated. We would all definitely stay again some day!

Family Get-away
This was a family getaway for me, my husband, our two adult children, their spouses, and our grandchildren ages 8, 5 and 16 months. There were plenty of bedrooms for everyone to sleep and plenty of room for everyone to spread out. It is an older home and is not updated but it has everything that you need. The pontoon is also older but does the job! Unfortunately, the weather was rainy most of the time we were there so we were unable to enjoy the water activities as much as we would have liked, but we do plan to come back. The neighbors were very friendly, as well.

Weekend Getaway
Loved our stay! Wish we would have stayed longer. The property was very clean and rustic. The neighbors were super friendly. The only small thing we wished we had was the solar lights outside to have worked. But overall our stay was great! They had everything from bathroom essentials to kitchenware and outdoors games.

This property was located in a quiet neighborhood on lake silver. The house was perfect for the 7 of us. This home is packed with lots of indoor outdoor games as well as vhs video movies. Easy access to fishing and kayaking. Beautiful calm serene atmosphere. I will definitely be returning again. Our host was awesome and readily available when needed
