Just what the Dr. ordered!
This gem of a property was even bigger than it looked online. Extremely clean and well appointed home with everything you need and then some. It was also nice to be so close to the dunes area and the sunset at the county park is something you don't want to miss. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone coming to the area.

3rd time staying here. Love the location for half the family to go to dunes, the other half across the road to lake mi beach. Love the big back deck for morning coffee or afternoon cocktail and reading. Love the firepit and walking around neighborhood.

First time in Michigan
We came to Michigan for a family vacation. We played disc golf, putt putt, and went to the amusement park. Getting to walk in the sand right along Lake Michigan was a plus! Our place was perfect! We were so close to everything we wanted to see. We all slept great and loved that we felt secluded. I would definitely come back to Mears and would stay at this beautiful home again. Thanks for hosting us!

Beautiful, clean, relaxing
The house was perfect. We had everything we needed save a small baking pan. Everything was thoughtfully laid out and easy to find. Waking up each morning with a view of the trees was wonderful. The washer and dryer were great after a day at the beach and the kitchen was a joy to cook in. The grill on the patio was a great bonus as was the patio itself.

This house is all that is advertised. Situated in the perfect spot we are close to silver lake sand dunes but far enough away for a cozy cottage feel. Property owner is responsive and easy to work with.

Our Neck of the Woods
We had a wonderful vacation at Our Neck of the Woods located in Mears, MI. This is the third time my family has stayed at this property and I highly recommend it. We will definitely be back! The property is clean and the pictures are an accurate description. All the cooking necessities are included in the kitchen to cook full meals. The shower is stocked with body wash, shampoo, & conditioner. We had a relaxing vacation spending time at the beautiful beach in Pentwater, rode the dune buggies at Mac Woods, fed the animals at UP North, and enjoyed relaxing on the deck at the cabin. We had an amazing vacation!

Peace and quiet
Our family of 4 enjoyed a few nights away and thoroughly enjoyed the house! It's very modern with lots of natural lighting. The beds are comfortable and the shower is amazing! We enjoyed Silver Lake (10mins away) and Pentwater (10mins). The beach that is close by was covered in algae so we didnt swim. There are steep steps to get down to it, FYI. We enjoyed meals at Big Hart Brewing and Big Antler Bar. Owner communicated quickly for a couple issues.

Best time in Mears
I can't tell you how impressed I was with the house, the neighborhood and the overall thoughts that went into thinking of every little thing that we could possibly need. The owner was very accommodating and literally thought of everything that someone staying would need. I would definitely recommend this house again to anyone thinking of staying in the Mears area.

Great Cabin
Very nice, and clean cabin. This cabin was one of the cleanest places we have ever stayed at. Everything was what they said it was. Super close to Pentwater, Ludington, and Silver Lake Sand Dunes. The driveway fit three trucks and trailers great too. The house had more then enough room for 9 people to stay. It was an amazing cabin, and will definitely book again.

Beautiful, comfortable house!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here! The house is luxurious - well-appointed and beautifully decorated, obviously primarily the owners’ own ideal vacation home rather than just a house for renting out. We had chilly, windy weather in August that made us spend more time inside than planned, and we were happy to have such a lovely, comfortable place to be.

Wow-What a wonderful vacation we had. Walking into this home you can tell how well it’s taken care of. The homeowners really outdid themselves and thought of everything. We enjoyed our morning coffee and evening dinners on the porch. The kids enjoyed the bunk beds and the amazing shower. We had everything we needed for a great home away from home. Thank you so much for a great stay
