About this property

Silver Lake Retreat - Beach Access + Dunes


Relax at our peaceful wooded retreat in Silver Lake/Mears, just minutes from the dunes, Lake Michigan, and Cedar Point Park. This cozy getaway sleeps 9 and offers private beach access, fast WiFi, and the perfect mix of comfort, privacy, and location for family vacations, dune trips, and quiet escapes.

Our 1,200+ sq ft home in Mears, better known as Silver Lake, is the perfect base for adventure and relaxation. Just minutes from Cedar Point Park, Pentwater River State Game Area, Lake Michigan, and Silver Lake Sand Dunes, you’ll be close to hiking, wildlife, fishing, canoeing, biking, snowmobile trails, wineries, lighthouse views, and unforgettable Lake Michigan sunsets. Charming downtown Pentwater is less than 15 minutes away, and Ludington State Park Beach is an easy drive for a day trip.

Whether you’re here for dune rides, beach days, trail adventures, or quiet evenings in nature, this is a great spot to enjoy the best of West Michigan.

Summer get away

We enjoyed the home in Mears. Since we only stayed two nights we couldn’t do everything we saw that there is to do in the area, we did have a great time. The home had everything we wanted during our stay. We would definitely come back again.

We had a great time staying in “Our Neck of the Woods!” The house was perfect for our family! The beds were really comfortable, the shower is amazing. The layout of the house made it feel much bigger than it was! We enjoyed the out door seating and picnic tables in the evenings. The whole family loved the fire ring! We can’t say enough how much we enjoyed our stay!

Beautiful and very clean property.

Wonderful weather and VERY CLEAN and beautiful “Our Neck of the Woods ” property set the tone for an excellent vacation. Everything was clean and well maintained and “as stated” in the property description. Our host was very attentive and answered any questions that we had. I would highly recommend this property for a Lake Michigan getaway!

Great stay

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.

Great family getaway

We had such a great time staying at this cottage. It is beautifully decorated and completely updated with everything we could've possibly needed. Its on a very quiet road and so close to a beautiful beach that is just a minute down the road. We had such a good time and will definitely be back.

Property was in a great location. Loved going to nearby local beach. House was lovely. Although main bed could use a new mattress. We enjoyed our stay immensely.

Thank you Cheryl for the feedback! We do our best to ensure our renters are as comfortable as can be. Being a new home less than two years ago we placed new furniture throughout including the mattresses. I know this is very subjective from person to person, but we will be updating as needed. Thanks again for staying and we hope to see you again in the future!
