I have been visiting East Silent for more than 3 years now, with my family and every time has been a great experience for all and has only gotten better each year since. It is something that I look forward to every year... Such a great time to be with family on a peaceful and relaxing setting. It has many... More

OMG…..I too am shocked at the horrible review listed below. This resort is family owned and they are the friendliest and most accommodating people; they’re all about customer service, pleasing their guests and making sure your stay is comfortable. No pets allowed, means NO pets…my sister ‘sneaks’ her cat in wherever they go; could this have been the case with... More

We have stayed at East Silent Resort for a week in June the last 2 years and have plans to go again in 2012. I can't say enough about this family run resort. Our kids love all the planned activities (snow cones, colored bubbles, horse rides, etc.). We all love relaxing by the beautiful beach and we have been so... More

Steph, thanks for your review! We're so glad you enjoy all the activities East Silent Resort has to offer. I recall your family taking advantage of the arts and crafts and all the water activities, including the human launch, the torpedo rides, and the tubing. We love keeping those little ones busy! Thanks again. More

If you want a family vacation where service and staff friendliness is a priority, East Silent is the perfect resort.

Mary, Thanks for the tip on booking early! Over 90 percent of our guests return each year, so it's important to call well in advance to check availability and reserve your cabin. Also check out our new vacation homes, which offer all the modern amenities of home plus the relaxation and enjoyment of a lakeside vacation. Looking forward to seeing... More

For the past four years, our extended family has spent our summer vacations at East Silent Resort. We have also taken our children on other numerous family vacations and when you ask them about their FAVORITE vacation spot they will always answer, "East Silent Resort!"

One of the perks of a week's stay at East Silent Resort is guests getting to know one another and seeing each other year after year. Families grow close during their vacation as their children play on the beach, swim, or have pony rides. Many families gather for an evening bonfire. Thanks for pointing out this wonderful part of the... More

Where do I begin? I am shocked at the horrible review listed below, in fact even wondering if it was written about the wrong resort. This is such a great, quaint, family-oriented resort, a little hidden gem. We look forward to our week there every year. My kids constantly ask the rest of the year, "How much longer until we...

East Silent Resort is a fun, family friendly resort to visit in any season! The summers are loaded with activities for the kids (and for those who are kids still at heart!).

Thanks for your review. We're so pleased the "B" (bored) word was never used by your family! With children's activities in the morning and teen targeted experiences in the afternoons, families can choose as little or as much activity as they like. We also offer a delicious barbecue Friday evenings during the prime season, so families don't have to meal... More

My family started spending a week each summer at East Silent about 4 years ago. It began with my immediate family reserving one cabin. Over the subsequent years our party has grown to include grandparents, aunts and uncles, and cousins in at least four different cabins each summer. This past summer our group ranged in age from 6 months to... More

We arrived a half hour before check-in time and would have been happy to wait on the premises until our room was ready. The staff told us to get off the property until that time. We obliged cheerfully as we were looking forward to our stay at this cabin, although we were a bit taken aback by this. Our next... More

East Silent Resort has been a family retreat since 1915. Ninety-seven percent of our guests return annually – some for over 60 years. But we don’t think of them as “guests,” and they don’t think of us as “managers.” Rather, we are friends - and treat each other accordingly. We exchange holiday cards, remember birthdays/anniversaries, and even attend significant events... More
