Mears, Michigan
Golden View cottage has been in our family since 1984. It is located in a lake-front neighborhood on the western end of Silver Lake (“the quiet side”), near Mac Woods Dune Rides & Whippy Dip (can you say ice cream ). It has a nice sunny large lot, deck, views of Silver Lake & the Dunes and private lake access including dock privileges at the shared association lot adjacent to our property.
We fully refreshed the cottage in 2021, new flooring, paint, furnishings. But celebrate the retro feel & design. It is adorable!
We have strict cleaning protocols for your sanitizing assurance between rentals. Guests bring their own bed sheets/pillowcases and bath towels. All mattress pads, pillow case protectors, bed spreads, bath floor mats, bath hand towels, door rugs, kitchen towels are replaced between each stay.
The cottage has AIR CONDITIONING! We are happy to make you more comfortable on those hot summer nights.
Silver Lake is an amazing place to vacation - endless fun, activities galore, and the incredible Silver Lake Sand Dunes and Lake Michigan beaches to explore. From this property you can ride your bike along the very scenic Silver Lake channel out to Lake Michigan. Take a tour of the Little Sable Point Lighthouse, catch a sunset or just park yourself on the beach and enjoy!
This cottage has a living area open to the kitchen, with picture windows looking towards the lake and yard. The association dock is just steps away for mooring your watercraft, casting a line off the end of the dock or swimming. The cottage includes a large deck with a kid's sandbox, firepit area, and swing set. And, plenty of room for the kids to play in the yard. We also have a second outdoor shower to rinse off after the beach. Just making sure this is clear - this cottage is not directly on the lake but steps away and has a view of lake & dunes.
There are 2 bedrooms, equipped with a queen size bed and a full size bed. We also have a futon sleeper in the great room. We regularly upgrade our mattresses. The bathroom has a tub/shower combo. The kitchen includes a dining table for 4-6 people and there is also a table/umbrella on the deck. The kitchen is fully equipped with stove, fridge, microwave, coffee maker. toaster - the works! We aim to please the 'foodie' in you!
To make your stay more relaxing, we have loaded the book case with beach reads and books for the kids. There is also a toy bin and plenty of board games. We have also have cable TV, Xbox and WIFI internet.
Outside there is a gas BBQ grill, deck furniture and fire pit. We have parking for 2-3 cars and a trailer (check with us on the size of your 'toy' trailer first).
This location is within walking distance to Mac Woods Dune Rides and Whippy Dip. The kids can ride their bikes safely on our neighborhood streets (which were just paved last summer). Just a short drive away (2 miles to the downtown area) are go-karts/arcade, bumper cars/boats, miniature golf at Craig's Cruisers, shopping at Dunetown Mall, Ice Cream, restaurants, any type of water craft rental at the Wave Club, Jeep/Quad/Buggy rentals. Or, hop on your bike or lace up your running shoes and cruise the paved pedestrian path around the entire lake. A ride out to the tallest lighthouse on Lake Michigan, Little Sable Point, to catch an evening sunset is a must-do on your vacation bucket list. The Lighthouse is open for tours during summer weekends.
Come for the fun - return for generations!

Adequate Nice neighborhood. Standard bed needs new mattress.
Very clean property! First thing I noted when walking in was the cleanliness which is appreciated. The owners were very helpful. Had everything we needed for our week at the lake. Great location so you're not right by all the touristy stuff in the roundabout but not far either. Close to the state parks (check out the Silver Lake one with young kids for a small shallow beach and the lighthouse point state park for the huge Lake Michigan Beach and waves). This was our first time staying in this area but we look forward to returning. The listing for this property is extremely accurate.
Me and my two daughters had the best time ever! We would normally stay at the state campground, but this year we didn't have a camper. This little cottage had everything we needed, and then some! It was very comfortable and close to everything. Especially Whippy Dip! Which was a 3 minute walk away. Tammy was very hospital, and was very quick to answer every question I had. My family and friends do the same weekend every year at the campground. After this stay my campground days may be over, if i can srtay here again. Also, the campground is litterally 2 minutes away by car, spwe were able to hang out there quite a bit. Thanks again Tammy for all your help and hospitality!! Hope to stay again. ?
Great location. Nice little cabin has everything you need. We enjoyed it a lot! AC works well. Great access to lake and dock. Even caught some fish! Garage door needs a little attention. Maybe a small hatchet for splitting firewood. We would come back!
This little cottage had everything we needed for a long weekend on the dunes. A bit run down and grounds not too we’ll kept, but it was clean. Convenient location for dunes and activities.
This cottage was perfect for our long weekend getaway. Tammy was great with communication! We were very close to the Heritage Wedding barn (reason for this trip). The neighborhood was very quiet. We enjoyed walking, as well as a short ride to Golden Township park on Lake Michigan. Clean, cute, retro
We had a great time! Very clean and everything is within 10 minutes of the cottage. Air conditioning was nice
Highly recommend staying at this rental. Exactly as expected, location is key, plenty of late night walks to the Whippy Dip, beautiful view of the Dunes and Lake. Very clean, all the amenities one needs! Thank you so much Tammy, it was hard to leave!
This property was perfect for our family vacation. Our adult children and our grandchildren all had an amazing time. Owner was great and Neighbors as well. One of the most relaxed vacations ever !! Will definitely go back !!!
The Golden View Cottage is about a few miles away from town when we arrive the place was clean, it's pet friendly and close to the Lighthouse Beach, ice-cream stands and sand dune rides and the owners respond right away if you have any questions-overall had a good time
We had a great week. The place is perfect for our family.
Nice location, great for a small family. Only down side was the previous occupants smoked inside and the smell was bad.
Nice and quiet neighborhood.
This is a clean small house just steps from the lake. Perfect for two and dog friendly! It is in a quiet and friendly neighborhood. We had a great time. Would rent again! Thank you.
We loved the location and the cottage is super cute!
This little cottage is perfect for a stay in Silver Lake. Right in the middle of everything and just minutes from all the major attractions.
