Labor Day Family Getaway
This was our 2nd annual family Labor Day get away. Last year we were closer to downtown and within walking distance to everything. This cabin is on the opposite end - not within walking distance which we knew before booking. The smaller kids enjoyed fishing from the dock and caught plenty of small fish. They also enjoyed using the kayaks up and down the channel. We visited the state park beach one day which is great and spent some time at Craig's Cruisers. The house was plenty big to accommodate all 10 of us with room to spare! The pictures, although accurate, don't depict that up close and personal show the upgrades are very DIY-ish and aren't necessarily finished off professionally. This does NOT in any way affect the overall use of the house. Just something that was noticed in several areas such as around shower heads, bathroom fans, flooring, etc that don't show in the pictures. We would all definitely recommend this house to others and already have :) Communication with the homeowner was wonderful as well. Just know there is no slide into the channel as shows in some of the listing pictures and the water there isn't really great for swimming anyway. You will have to drive to the attractions from this cabin if you plan to visit anything.

Great time , 4 couples and plenty of space.
8 of us stayed and had plenty of room! Lots to do in area, house was clean. Plenty of kitchen supplies. Great dining table and outdoor area. ( could use better ply toilet paper for the money, and some nicer living room furniture but prob lots of use so don’t blame keeping as is - but minor! ) Enjoyed our stay!

Lots of accommodations such as kayaks and canoes. We had five families stay and there was plenty of room. Fantastic location next to the dunes and on a beautiful river that leads to Silver Lake. Would recommend to bring additional blankets. Would stay again!

Great family home
We had a wonderful stay with our 3 adult children and their families. There was plenty of room for our group of 7 adults and 4 children ages 2, 4, 8, and 9. We weren’t sure if we would use the kayaks and canoe but that turned out to be a great activity for all of us and we used them almost every day. The house is in a convenient location and close to Mac Woods, Silver Lake, Lake Michigan, and the sand dunes. We contacted Eric soon after we arrived because the housekeepers had not left enough sheets. Eric responded immediately and the sheets were delivered promptly. We all loved our stay here!

Mears rental
The place was fantastic! The property was clean and was exactly as described. It fit our family of 17 people perfectly. The kids loved to fish off the dock in the canal and it had kayaks that everyone enjoyed using. Just a few minutes on the kayak down to silver lake. We would definitely return!

Amazing location
We spent 4 nights here at an annual trip that my three friends and us do. We had 4 families of 4. Kids age range from 6-13. We enjoyed the channel. We also brought our own kayaks and was able to kayak out to silver lake. We enjoyed mac dunes, Lake Michigan and silver lake! Only complaint is many dishes were dirty upon arrival. I am going to guess that the previous guests did not make sure they were clean before putting away. There was food in fridge and pantry. I was unsure if this is possibly the owners or any leftovers from previous guest. All in all it was great and would definitely stay again!

July Stay
Hello, thank you for the memories we made as a family. We all loved the house, location, and beaches on the Dunes. Everything was great, but I'd find a way to get clean towels into the house or have a washing machine so people can do a load of towels each night. Some of the kids missed the wifi which didn't work but I didn't mind at all. LOL

Great place for family fun
We have a large family, this property was a great size, clean and conveniently close to everything. Kids loved being right on the channel to take the kayaks out and fish. We walked to get ice cream and to the playground at the Silver Lake State Park. The owner was very responsive, accommodating, and kind. Couple notes: there is not a slide like in the pictures but it would have been too shallow to use. Also it could have helped to have a hair dryer on site as well as more kitchen towels. All in all I would recommend!

Spacious Cabin for a Family Gathering
We rented this property for our annual NYE gathering with four families with children. There was plenty of room and comfortable sleeping for all of us. The main living area was comfortable with lots of room to move also. Being that it was winter time, there wasn’t many businesses open in the immediate area. But we were there to hang out as a family, so it wasn’t an issue for us. Great experience overall!

We brought our family of 13 here from Kalamazoo, MI, Seattle, Minneapolis and northern VA to celebrate, 2 years late, our 50th wedding anniversary. We had a wonderful time. House was very clean and easy to keep clean . Everyone enjoyed the canoe and kayaks on the channel to Silver Lake. The grandchildren said they wanted to stay “forever”. We will be back!

Great stay. Property Managers very responsive.
We had a great stay at this Silver Lake rental. We had 13 stay at this house and we did not feel like we are on top of each other. The Property Managers are very responsive. During our stay, we noticed a crack in the coffee pot. The property manager was quick to answer our call and had a new coffee maker the next morning. I loved that the place was right on the channel. Our kids really enjoyed the kayaks available on the property. This was the first time the majority of them where in a kayak, so it was nice that the channel was a calm body of water to learn some kayaking skills. Some activities I would suggest to do in the area: 1. Lake Michigan Beach - 4 minute drive away - Beautiful light house. 2. Mac Wood Dune rides - hold on to your hat. 3. Whippy Dip. Overall, my family had a great time / great stay.

Wonderful getaway!
What a great space for our 3 generation family getaway. Host was extremely accommodating. We especially enjoyed the kayaks and the availability of firewood was a bonus. There are a lot of trees that cause some cleanliness issues on the outside table/chairs and the geese that wander through the property leaving "presents" were the only negatives. The location was phenomenal and we would recommend in a heartbeat.
