My family and I were vacationing in Michigan and decided to take my dad and his partner out to the Silver Lake Sand Dunes. We rented both a four-seater and a two-seater UTV, and the entire rental process was easy and straightforward from start to finish.
I especially want to give a huge shout-out to Celeste. While making my reservation, I accidentally booked the wrong day. I was panicking because I thought we were going to lose a lot of money, but Celeste quickly helped me correct the reservation so we didn't miss out on our adventure. Her customer service was exceptional, and she truly saved the day. She definitely deserves a raise!
When we arrived, check-in was quick, organized, and easy to understand. The staff made sure everyone had proper eye protection, gave us a chance to use the restrooms before heading out, and made the whole process stress-free. We watched the safety video, and Roy took us to our vehicles, helped everyone get buckled in correctly, explained the controls, and made sure we were ready to go.
One thing I really appreciated was having Silverback staff out in the dunes. My husband managed to get our UTV stuck within the first five minutes (we still laugh about it!), but Ashton was there in no time and had us pulled out within just a few moments. It was reassuring to know help was nearby if we needed it.
The only reason I hesitated to give a perfect experience was the condition of the restrooms. They could definitely be checked more frequently. There was urine and pubic hair on the toilet seat, the trash can was overflowing, and the restroom didn't smell very clean. It's a small thing compared to the overall experience, but it would make an already great operation even better.
Overall, we had an incredible time, made memories that will last a lifetime, and couldn't have asked for a better day on the dunes. I would absolutely rent from Silverback Off-Road again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a fun, well-organized adventure at Silver Lake. read more
