About the location...

Located halfway between Silver Lake Sand Dunes in Mears, MI and Pentwater Lake in Pentwater, MI and only a 5 MINUTE WALK to the Lake Michigan private community beach. BONFIRES ALLOWED ON THIS BEACH!!

(**Please note: there are many stairs to get to this beach, however are also many other beaches close by, if stairs are an obstacle.)

Many restaurants, shopping, and activities such as beach yoga, art events, horseback riding, golf, wineries, breweries, boating and more within 10 minutes drive. Silver Lake ORV park is a fun and unique attraction where you can drive your Jeep, SUV, or rented vehicle right on the sand dunes! If you don’t have a vehicle, you can also enter the dune park on the pedestrian side and hike the dunes away from the traffic but with amazing lake and inland views, as well as spectate the local and visiting "duners.". On the other side of Silver Lake is downtown Silver Lake area with several more attractions like Craig's Cruisers amusement center and the locally famous Chicken Shack. And if you are without sand vehicles and water toys, there are many places in town to rent something to play with.

Loved the area and two seperate livingspaces
Easy walk to the beach, nice fenced in yard for dogs(must be on chains because fence isnt dog proof). Be very careful where you allow yoir dogs if yoi bring them because there were old pet stains and dogs always want to pee over other dogs pee. Dont let them walk away from you. Our kids loved having the bottom floor to themselves. 40 minute drive to the hunting grounds mu husband likes.

Labor Day Stay
My daughter had her Bacherlorette weekend with her sister and 6 friends here. They said the place was perfect! Stephanie was so easy to get a hold of with any questions. The girls said the house was clean and stocked with everything they needed for their stay. They loved the setting, the close walk to the beach and enjoyed the local winery and the thrilling Mac Dune rides. They would definitely recommend this property and would 100% return for another fabulous stay! 5 stars all around! Thanks Stephanie!

Family friendly and great location.
My family and I stayed here for our annual Silver Lake vacation. The home was very spacious and clean with many amenities. We really enjoyed the location as it is close to the dunes and has a private beach area to use within walking distance of the house. Access to the private beach area requires the use of a large stairway with many steps and is somewhat steep but, we became comfortable with it after a couple of uses. Being able to have a bonfire on the beach was an absolute plus! Stephanie was very easy to communicate with which we appreciated. Overall, we were extremely happy with the home and would definitely stay here again. Thanks Stephanie!

Perfect stay, great location
The location was perfect for being close to the dunes for riding yet a little out for some peace and quiet. House was fully stocked with everything we needed and plenty of room. The beach area was a short walk and very nice. Thanks!

Neat, clean little cottage
The beach was the very best part. A little walk but worth it. The cottage was decorated nicely with a nice outdoor area. Double beds instead of queen were an issue for my adult children as was the very damp basement. Otherwise a great vacation.
