2 Bedroom Cottage in Traverse City
Welcome to Slice-of-Heaven TC Silver Lake Cottage 🌊
Often referred to by returning guests simply as Slice-of-Heaven TC, this owner-hosted, lakefront spa retreat is exactly what the name promises. Guests don’t just visit—they return year after year, calling it peaceful, magical, better than the photos, and one of the best lakefront stays in Northern Michigan.
Perched on its own private peninsula on Silver Lake, this cozy yet amenity-rich cottage delivers a rare blend of privacy, spa-level relaxation, and unbeatable Traverse City proximity. Whether you’re here for summer lake days or a winter sauna-and-hot-tub escape, Slice-of-Heaven TC shines in every season.

A True Four-Season Getaway ❄️🌸☀️🍂
While summer on Silver Lake is spectacular, many guests return specifically for fall colors, winter spa weekends, and quiet spring escapes. There’s nothing quite like soaking in the hot tub or sauna while snow falls on the lake, then retreating inside to a warm, cozy cottage.
Peak summer stays (mid-June through mid-August) are offered as limited Friday–Friday weekly reservations.
Outside of peak summer, Slice-of-Heaven TC is ideal for shorter stays, couples’ retreats, girls’ trips, milestone celebrations, and peaceful off-season getaways.
