Just what the Dr. ordered!

This gem of a property was even bigger than it looked online. Extremely clean and well appointed home with everything you need and then some. It was also nice to be so close to the dunes area and the sunset at the county park is something you don't want to miss. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone coming to the area.

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.

First time in Michigan

We came to Michigan for a family vacation. We played disc golf, putt putt, and went to the amusement park. Getting to walk in the sand right along Lake Michigan was a plus! Our place was perfect! We were so close to everything we wanted to see. We all slept great and loved that we felt secluded. I would definitely come back to Mears and would stay at this beautiful home again. Thanks for hosting us!

Beautiful, clean, relaxing

The house was perfect. We had everything we needed save a small baking pan. Everything was thoughtfully laid out and easy to find. Waking up each morning with a view of the trees was wonderful. The washer and dryer were great after a day at the beach and the kitchen was a joy to cook in. The grill on the patio was a great bonus as was the patio itself.

Our Neck of the Woods

We had a wonderful vacation at Our Neck of the Woods located in Mears, MI. This is the third time my family has stayed at this property and I highly recommend it. We will definitely be back! The property is clean and the pictures are an accurate description. All the cooking necessities are included in the kitchen to cook full meals. The shower is stocked with body wash, shampoo, & conditioner. We had a relaxing vacation spending time at the beautiful beach in Pentwater, rode the dune buggies at Mac Woods, fed the animals at UP North, and enjoyed relaxing on the deck at the cabin. We had an amazing vacation!

Peace and quiet

Our family of 4 enjoyed a few nights away and thoroughly enjoyed the house! It's very modern with lots of natural lighting. The beds are comfortable and the shower is amazing! We enjoyed Silver Lake (10mins away) and Pentwater (10mins). The beach that is close by was covered in algae so we didnt swim. There are steep steps to get down to it, FYI. We enjoyed meals at Big Hart Brewing and Big Antler Bar. Owner communicated quickly for a couple issues.

I can't tell you how impressed I was with the house, the neighborhood and the overall thoughts that went into thinking of every little thing that we could possibly need. The owner was very accommodating and literally thought of everything that someone staying would need. I would definitely recommend this house again to anyone thinking of staying in the Mears area.

Great Cabin

Very nice, and clean cabin. This cabin was one of the cleanest places we have ever stayed at. Everything was what they said it was. Super close to Pentwater, Ludington, and Silver Lake Sand Dunes. The driveway fit three trucks and trailers great too. The house had more then enough room for 9 people to stay. It was an amazing cabin, and will definitely book again.

Beautiful, comfortable house!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here! The house is luxurious - well-appointed and beautifully decorated, obviously primarily the owners’ own ideal vacation home rather than just a house for renting out. We had chilly, windy weather in August that made us spend more time inside than planned, and we were happy to have such a lovely, comfortable place to be.

Wow-What a wonderful vacation we had. Walking into this home you can tell how well it’s taken care of. The homeowners really outdid themselves and thought of everything. We enjoyed our morning coffee and evening dinners on the porch. The kids enjoyed the bunk beds and the amazing shower. We had everything we needed for a great home away from home.

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!!
