Gorgeous 5-bedroom home on Lake Michigan—entire home available! Relax and unwind at our quiet lakefront property between Silver Lake Sand Dunes and Pentwater. Soak in the sunset from our hot tub overlooking majestic Lake Michigan, recline with morning coffee on one of our three decks, and warm up in front of one of our four fireplaces. Perfect for families and friends! NEW stairs to Lake Michigan on our property now provide access to lake a small private beach in our backyard! Ours is a destination property!

Our luxurious lake house rests atop a small bluff overlooking mighty Lake Michigan on a quiet, residential road. Experience stunning sunsets over Lake Michigan from our hot tub or reclining on the deck. Arise each morning and raise the blinds to see how Lake Michigan is feeling that day. Relax with coffee, tea, or cocoa in one of our two spacious living rooms, on the side or back deck, or on the private Master-suite balcony. Bring groceries to prepare in our fully stocked kitchen or venture out to eat at one of the many restaurants and open-air bars in Mears, Silver Lake, Hart, Pentwater, or Ludington.

With floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking majestic Lake Michigan, our sprawling master bedroom encompasses the top (third) floor of this five-bedroom home. This bedroom boasts a comfy king bed, private bath, dedicated workspace with Lake Michigan view, fireplace with smart TV over the mantle, sofa bed, and private balcony overlooking Lake Michigan--perfect for quiet morning coffee and sunset views. Our master bath includes a jacuzzi tub and separate shower.

The main (second) floor has two living areas. One has a TV with a gaming system and DVD player, a game table with poker and bumper pool, and a gas fireplace with a couch and two recliners. The other overlooks Lake Michigan with several reclining chairs and a couch to enjoy the view. It has a smart TV, gas fireplace, and coffee bar.

Our fully stocked kitchen has a refrigerator with an ice maker, dishwasher, hot water spigot for tea, electric range/oven, microwave, and coffee pot/ Keurig combo. Two stools sit at the large countertop.

The cathedral-ceiling sunroom provides plenty of natural light for the 12-place dining-room table. Also on this floor is a bedroom with a bunk bed (full bed on bottom, twin bed on top), full bath with shower, and washer/dryer.

The first-floor master bedroom has a California King Smart-Number bed with remotes, gas fireplace, sofa bed, and smart TV.

Also on this floor are two other bedrooms: one with a queen bed and one with a full-twin bunkbed. There is a closet in each room. We provide spare pillows and blankets.

In addition to the private master balcony, our lake house has two decks. The back deck overlooks Lake Michigan and holds a six-person hot tub, four Adirondack chairs, a gas fire table, a warm-water outdoor shower, and a patio furniture set with umbrella that seats seven.

Gorgeous work retreat stay!

Private, spacious, gorgeous Lake Michigan view. It was a great space for us to make dinner, play games, hang for the time we were there for our retreat. Everyone wants to come back in the summer. I recommend the winter too!

Christmas on Lake Michigan

This is an excellent home right on the shores of Lake Michigan. The lake side of the home has great views with windows all the way across. The main bedroom is on the upper level with floor to ceiling windows facing the water. Steffany is a great host, communicated all needed information in a timely manner! The home was decorated very nice, we all had a very nice stay.

Beautiful property

We can’t say enough about the beautiful home on Lake Michigan! We were there for a family wedding in November and enjoyed every minute of the stay. The property had everything we needed and so much more. Everyone had plenty of space and thoroughly enjoyed all of the extra games and accommodations. The views were amazing and the sounds of the waves from the lake created such a peaceful experience. Our only regret is we didn’t stay longer!

Gorgeous and comfortable house

We loved this house. On the top flour and the basement level, there are master suites that are huge and beautifully decorated with separate setting areas. The main floor also has two seating areas so there is tons of room. The view is beautiful and we spent a lot of time just enjoying it. The kitchen is well stocked and the furniture is like new.

Fabulous Vacation Property

This house had it all: enough room for family of 12, ages 1 to 73, to reunite for a week of fun and sun; super comfortable king mattresses and good bed configurations to accommodate single adults; games, TVs, magazines and books for those non-beach lovers; close proximity to dunes, restaurants, grocery stores, beaches; beautiful setting with a large yard and gorgeous view of Lake Michigan. Kitchen has adequate counter space and cooking equipment, but needs a large 12-15” saute pan to ideally prepare food for 12. We had a wonderful stay!

Perfect week!

This place has everything you need to ensure a perfect vacation! The cottage is beautiful and the sunsets can’t be beat. The host has thought of everything, provides a binder of helpful hints and videos and is available if you have any questions. The cottage is located close to the Silver Lake sand dunes, Little Sable Point lighthouse, Hart and Pentwater, just to name a few fun things to do. We all had a great week!

Nice spacious house by the lake

Beautiful home with great views of the lake. Stairs down to the lake were fine for us but it's definitely something to take into consideration with little ones, elderly or handicapped individuals. Communication with owners was good, there are a lot of rules/instructions to follow (QR codes for videos) which is understandable for a house that size but not exactly what you want to do when you arrive from a long drive. I recommend less videos and more bullet points. I also recommend alerting guests when service people arrive. We had set up our games outside and 5 minutes later the lawn service arrived and we had to move it all. We also were about to jump in the jacuzzi tub after a swim when two service men arrived to shock it. Oddly enough that's all they did, not even a vacuum. Notice would have been nice. Two canoes and some other water items are available after signing waivers. With the price paid for this house the water items should not be complimentary but rather included. This was our first experience with these items being referred to a complimentary. I think the waivers are definitely necessary but should be a part of the contract. Kitchen was stocked with everything you would need as far as appliances, just bring a good knife. Lot's of games and a game table was a plus for us. Overall the home and location to the lake was wonderful. Great for large groups and families. Lovely place to stay.

Steffany and Doug were fantastic host's! They were quick and helpful! The house and property were even better than described. There were 9 people and everyone was very comfortable. We played games, hot tubbing every day and enjoyed sitting by the fire pit and and truly enjoyed everything there was to do! We would absolutely recommend staying here!

Extraordinary House for a group!

THANK YOU for an AMAZING experience at Lake Michigan. We had a family reunion here with 6 adults and 2 teenagers. Mom and Dad LOVED the master bedroom and everyone was comfortable. We adored being here and are incredibly grateful for the attention to detail. We loved sitting on the deck and in the LR looking out. The Qcode videos provided were a fabulous idea and helped us to enjoy the two kayaks when the lake calmed. We can't say enough positive things about the house and the location! We'd love to return!

5+++

We went for a girls weekend and we were blown away by this house. Directly on Lake Michigan, beautiful views. The hosts were super accommodating and always responded to messages right away. We had no issues getting into the house and no issues during our stay. The hot tub and fireplace outside the house were our absolute favorite. Downtown Mears is so cute and we had fun checking out the shops and different stops. We enjoyed the dune buggy ride as well! 10/10 stay, if we were coming back to Mears again we would be staying here. Thank you!!!

Top vacation rental we have visited!

My friends and I (total of 4 women) spend 3 days each May at a vacation rental to do some remote work during the day and relax and socialize at night. This is the best location we have experienced yet across our 6 year tradition! The lake view was incredible, and all the ammenities were fantastic. We had plenty of space to do our own separate writing projects and also come together to chat (and make good use of the karaoke machine and hot tub!) in the evenings. We definitely plan to return.
