Mears, Michigan
This three-story, 6-bedroom beauty sits right on the shore of Lake Michigan. The open concept living room/dining room is spacious with leather couches in front of the gas log fireplace and 42-inch flat screen tv/DVD. There are shades throughout the home for privacy.
The log furniture throughout the home adds to the vacation feeling. An 8-seating massive pine dining table and 4 pine stools at the granite counter allow for ample seating for dinners. In addition, the downstairs living area has a booth-like table and chairs that will fit into the upstairs dining area if needed and is perfect for the kids.
The kitchen appliances are all stainless steel and the counters granite. There is a microwave, oven, dishwasher, refrigerator with ice maker, coffee pot, electric tea pot, crock pot, blender, and electric griddle. In addition, there is a vacuum and a washer and dryer available.
Wi-Fi and cable TV are included as is a land-line phone system. The mix of pine and plastered walls throughout the home add to the beauty. The plaster ceilings are a decorative work of art. Our 3 1/2 bathrooms include two with showers, one with a tub and shower and a half bath on the main floor. Four of the bedrooms have wall-hung flat screen TVs. The bedrooms on the second floor include two with queen sized log beds and one with full-size bunk beds. Those two master bedrooms have balconies overlooking Lake Michigan. The third floor is an open concept bedroom perfect for a group of youngsters. Standing at the large windows feels much like looking out over an ocean from a cruise ship as you gaze out over lake Michigan. Beautiful to watch the sun setting, or an impressive storm coming across the lake. This area has two queen log beds, two twin beds and a full-size futon bed. In the basement are two beautiful bedrooms, each with queen-sized log beds. These rooms open into a common room with its own TV and one private bathroom with shower.
The home has heating and central air as well as sliding doors in two of the second-floor masters, each opening onto their own private balcony perfect for morning coffee or watching the sun set over beautiful Lake Michigan. The fire pit has nine wooden Adirondack chairs, and the parking area fits four (4) cars. There is a wooden picnic table on the deck, an outdoor grill, a metal picnic table and a Lake-viewing bench in the back yard.
This is the setting for a perfect, peaceful retreat and wonderful family vacation. Roomy enough for group family activities and yet space for peaceful alone time.
Very nice home, lots of room beautiful sunsets and real close to the beach and sand dunes. We loved it.
Our family group of fifteen agreed that having a house right on the lake was the very best part of our stay. The house was clean and laid out well for a large group, but for us the location was the thing we most enjoyed. We loved listening to the waves, enjoying coffee on the deck, amazing sunsets and campfires under the stars. The path down to the beach was just a short walk down the road. We also enjoyed our favorite activities in nearby Silver Lake, Pentwater and Ludington. We would be very happy to come back to this property in the future. A note about the parking - we were able to park four cars at the property. The grandkids parked at the Park and Ride by 131 in Hart without any problem.
The cottage beach access was impossible 200 yards on the road and another 100 yards on the beach cause area was blocked off for bird sanctuary. You couldn’t even drive a car and drop off chairs, umbrellas etc. so we ended up going to a public beach. We had little children and it was too difficult. Cottage is lovely has beautiful lake views just no easy beach access.
Great place with an awesome view and beach is a short walk away. Highly recommend
The property was perfect for our larger group. The third floor was nice for all of the kids and the other rooms were great for the adults. The third floor does get warm. The mini split helps but it is still on the warmer side. As the descriptions says, parking is limited so make sure to take that into account when planning your trip. The beach is a short walk from the property and right in front of the dune ORV area. Please note to get down to the beach is a rather steep decline which means you have a steep incline to get back to the property. It was not a big deal for anyone in our group but it could be an issue for some. The kitchen was fairly well stocked but there is only one fridge so take that into account when planning your trip.
House was great and right on the lake. We used a Park Mobile app to leave all the machines in a lot just outside of town. We had a blast.
This cottage has it all! Fully stocked kitchen, bathroom and bedrooms! Fire pit was amazing. The view was incredible! Highly recommend.
Location, location, location! The house was amazing! We had 6 adults and I child. The views of Lake Michigan are what brought us here. Breath taking! We also came for fun on the Silver Lake Dunes! We had the best of both worlds! The lake house was about 8 doors down from a cool walk way to the silver lake beach. Which we conveniently arrived at on a golf cart provided by the house! Easy peasy. The Silver Lake Beach is the best beach I’ve ever been on. Not a rock or stone to be found! Pure sand way way out into the water! The waves were perfect for body surfing!! We’ve rented several houses on Lake Michigan. This home has been the best for convenient lake access. Would I come again? Absolutely!! In a heartbeat! The only challenge would be parking. We had a small SUV, 2 large pickup trucks and a enclosed trailer w our side by side in it for the dunes (parked on an angle) which just fit. Not an inch to spare. Consolidate your vehicles. Totally worth every penny!
House was clean and as described. Short walk to the public beach.
My family and I stayed for 5 night it was a amazing experience I'd highly recommend this home for a family trip.
My granddaughter wrote in the journal at the cottage she had a lovely time, the bunk beds were really cozy. She enjoyed the golf card, big waves and sunsets. She enjoyed her vacation!
Our family takes a week-long vacation every year and this was our 11th year. We choose to visit a new location every year. This home is one of our top three! There was plenty of room for the twelve of us. The kitchen was big and well stocked. We loved the fire pit area and used it most nights. The beach was easy to access and family friendly. We might just return to this one! Thank you Jim for being a great host!
This is a clean, airy well-furnished house beautifully situated on Lake Michigan. Every imaginable kitchen appliance/utensil is provided, and several good restaurants are within a 10-15 minute drive. (Big Hart Brewing Co. is especially recommendable.) Charter fishing is available in Pentwater and Ludington, and Silver Lake boasts a small amusement park. Highly recommendable. We'll be back.
This house was clean and roomy. The lake views from the main floor and 3 of the 5 bedrooms were awesome. The back porch, grill, fire pit and lawn work nicely together accented by an unobstructed and expansive view of Lake Michigan. The sunsets were simply spectacular and drew a crowd each evening followed by fun around the fire pit. Beach access is good and only about 500 paces from the house which makes for an easy walk. The golf cart makes that a quick piece of cake. The cart is also a way to settle down the little ones before bedtime. Silver Lake and all its attractions is a short drive. If there is a drawback it is the sound of the dune buggies running within view of the beach. Then again, that fades into the background and Lake Michigan works it's magic. All in all we got a thumbs up from our whole crew. We gave this property all 5 starts except for the location and neighborhood category. We gave that a 4 only because of the noise from the ORV park. In general though, the location is great as there is easy access to a stretch of the coastline that is full of things to do.
Very clean property. Great location and view of Lake Michigan. Jim was fantastic with communication. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will be returning !!! Thank you Jim !
