Extended Family Vacation
The house accommodated my large group very well! We had everything we needed. Upper Silver Lake was great for young kids and then we had Lake Michigan a short drive away for older swimmers. We did have some warm weather so it was hot at night upstairs, but we would definitely come back! Great location!

Mears Lakehouse
We can a great time at this Lakehouse. The group consisted of 6 siblings and their spouses - a total of 10 people Very roomy and airy inside the house. The deck and view of the lake were amazing. We spent each night at the bonfire and just talked about our families and life in general. We also watched the International Space Station pass over each night.
Brian and his wife Amy made out stay very memorable and I would definitely recommend this Lakehouse.

Spring break
The house and area are beautiful! The house was representative of the beautiful pictures display. During this time a year was a nice quiet family getaway. Even though a lot of businesses were closed nearby as they are seasonal we still enjoyed the hike at the sand dunes, the lighthouse, going to Hart Brewery, Shopping at Hansens and the Ivy Cottage. Also equally amazing is Hart Pizza; totally recommend!!! Brian, the host, is equally amazing at responding when asking questions; thank you all for sharing your beautiful home!

Perfect location!
I recently stayed here with my husband and 5 children ranging in age from 12-22. We all loved our time! The property has beautiful views of the lake, lots of places to sit inside and out, kayaks, a swimmable shore, and multiple docks. We fished, swam, enjoyed a fire and had everything we needed to spend time together. Great spaces to hang out in and plenty of sleeping space. The house is also located 5 minutes from the Dunes, and lots of other shops and ice cream places. All in all, a great place for a MI family vacation. Brian was also very responsive when we reached out, so any questions were answered quickly.
