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!

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.

About the host

Hosted by Rick Nieves Sr.

Host profile image
We are an adventure seeking fun family!! We would love for you to enjoy our home during the wonderful summer and winter months in the silver lake area!!! We went out on a limb after coming up north from Illinois the past few years and decided to get a family vacation home to cherish all the memories... We thought it would be a great idea to share this with others.

Why they chose this property

Our property was built in 2019 with state of the art materials. It's literally in like new condition. We painstakingly put in months of work to get the home to the level it currently is in. Every little detail was reviewed to ensure people that stay here, including ourselves need nothing else to have a great time!!! Our family has vacationed in the Mears/Western Michigan area for several years. If this is your first stay to the area, I will venture to say that it will likely not be your last. Mears is in close proximity to all sorts of activities including biking, boating, kayaking, canoeing, fishing, beaches, beautiful Lake Michigan sunsets, small town shopping, great restaurants, snowmobiling, hunting, ice fishing-you name it. The people from the area are warm and friendly. There are plenty of Wineries to choose from in addition to the Silver Lake Sand Dunes which are just a hop, skip, and a jump away. You can also enjoy ATV/off-roading, and did I mention the views of Lake Michigan? It is our love for the area that has brought us to routinely vacation here.

What makes this property unique

We strive to offer a truly unique vacation home experience with one of the cleanest properties in the area. ALL amenities are included to make you feel at home including, high speed Internet, roughly .75 acres of land with a generous size deck and patio. A huge outdoor block fire pit is provided for those cool nights to sit around and share stories with the family. Love the water? Take a 5 minute walk and you'll have direct access to over 800' of Lake Michigan shoreline with all its beauty!!
