Silver Sands Resort

Room was clean and the front desk staff was very friendly and helpful! First time overnighting in Silver Lake and very happy with our choice for accommodations!

Another STUNNING stay. Us 4 adults stayed in the double queen room, 2nd floor. Owners & staff are amazing, large 10 foot deep pool, grilling, picnic, larger fridge with separate upper freezer / lower fridge, very spacious double queen room. Given that cell coverage is spotty in Silver lake, the WiFi works well, but heck, who needs this when it's best to just throw away the phone & laptop to RELAX and have a nice chat with the owners that go all the way to make your stay perfect. This is home away from home and just love sitting outside on the porch bench. Light donuts & coffee in the AM, lemonade/tea/water/cookies till late. Extremely reasonable room rates for the value you get.

Been going up to Silver Sands resort for over 40 years. We stayed elsewhere for the last 5-10 years because they HATE dogs and we had a dog. Our daughter was staying at the campground and brought her French Bulldog over on the street. The owner's wife came running over on a rampage saying no dogs on premises which we knew about as they told us this when we checked in. Our 12-year old granddaughter was standing in the public street with the dog next to the cottage. Silver Sands maintenance guy rudely confronted our 12-year old grand daughter. She was scared of him so she promptly walked the dog down to the pontoon rentals which was were we were going. The owner's wife lied and said we took the dog on the Silver Sands Dock next to the pontoon rental which she did not. This all transpired within 1-2 minutes. The owner's wife totally over-reacted about the dog. He was not on their property but on a public street and did not go on their dock. The owners stressed you have to have a tag visible on your car mirror to park outside of the cabins which we did. On Friday, a brigade of big wheel trucks hauling multiple vehicles showed up outside our cottage. They took up every parking spot (we needed only two). I called the owners and they could care less. In fact, the owner made a smart ass comment "are you the new parking attendant". None of these vehicles had blue parking tickets hanging on their mirrors. It just seemed odd that they went nuts over a dog being on a public street outside of the cottage for 30 seconds but didn't care that a brigade of unregistered vehicles took over the parking lot and we had no where to park. We rented Cottage I which claims it sleeps 10. 1. The toilet doesn't flush properly and we only had 5 in the cottage and struggled to get the toilet to flush. I can't imagine if you had 10 people. 2. The shower is very difficult to get it to work many struggles getting it to work. 3. They give you one fan because there is no air conditioning which we knew. However, the fan they give you is a dilapidated piece of junk that barely works. 4. Carpet in the bedrooms is filthy dirty. 5. Doors are dilapidated and don't open or close easily. 6. Filthy charcoal old time grill that you see at state parks - no gas grill. 7. Beds are old and filthy. I could go on but bottom line Silver Sands is in desperate need of a renovation. It is clear the owners have been sucking this place dry for years and not put any money back into it. We paid $2,700 for a dilapidated cottage in desperate need of repairs, I WILL NEVER NEVER RENT HERE AGAIN. These dilapidated cabins are in desperate need of renovations but they are still charging top-dollar to rent them.

Spent our first weekend of the summer at the Silver Sands. Our room was VERY clean and homey, beds were comfortable and the pillows were fluffy. The ac was on and the room was cool. Free coffee in our room and ice in the freezer! Val & Dave are always so welcoming and friendly! Thanks so much for a great weekend! Looking forward to visiting again!
