About this property

☀️Updated Cottage, Heated Pool, Great Location near Silver Lake Sand Dunes!

  • Our cottage is great fit for a couple, small family, or a few friends! (5 max adults & 8 overnight guests total).

    Our Cottage is located in the Floradale Association. Literally steps away from the heated pool. So convenient for all, but especially if you have kids in your party. You also have access to the Club House, Ping Pong, Shuffleboard, Tether ball, Horseshoes, Tennis and Basketball courts as well as 400ft of private association beachfront with swimming dock.

    Our cottage has 2 bedrooms, 1 with a Queen bed, and 1 with 2 sets of bunk beds. Twin sleeper sofa, and sofa in Living Room space. There is 1 bath with shower. There is also a large well-equipped kitchen and dining room with large table that seats 8. The cottage also has a deck with dinning space. There is lawn furniture, an outdoor grill, and private fire pit. Plenty of parking! Large lot.

    We have just finished renovating this cottage and it looks amazing! All painted light and bright with fun beachy décor. Air and heat. This cottage will not disappoint. Feel free to inquire about the renovation. We can also show you our other cottage in the same association if you are interested in a larger cottage or are traveling with a larger group.

    We do rent by the week, Friday to Friday from mid-June to Labor Day. Before and after those dates, we do rent for a 2-3 day minimum. If you don't see exactly what you want with dates feel free to message and we will see what we can do to accommodate you!

    Just a few miles away is the state park dunes where you can ride through the sand or walk. Also, you can take a dune ride from Mac Woods or rent a buggy to tear up the dunes yourself. There is also a 22-mile paved bike /hiking trail along with mini-golf, bumper cars, go-carts, and many specialty shops to browse through. So, book your vacation today for summer and fall 2026 or2027! I hope to hear from you soon!

We had a wonderful stay at this cozy cottage in Mears. The location was perfect for our Silver Lake Dunes trip, and the cottage had everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing stay. The place was clean, welcoming, and exactly what we were looking for. Melissa was a great host—friendly, helpful, and easy to communicate with. We would definitely stay here again

Weekend Trip

We had a great time and the area was a great location close enough to all the main attractions. Was a quick and beautiful drive back and forth to the dunes. The cabin was well kept up with. Though it was just 2 of us, would be great for a family as well. Would stay again!

Just the right size for our family of four. We trailered a street legal toy and there was plenty of parking spaces to leave the trailer there. We cooked a few things and they provided the basics we needed for that. We appreciated the leaf blower available to blow off dust or sand off the outdoor areas. The woods are right outside the back of the house, so the black squirrels were fun to watch. We had one random issue and the owners responded right away to solve it. We’ve stayed here before so we definitely recommend staying here.

Beautiful cottage, wooded, heated pool!!

The cottage was so cute, clean, and up to date. Very close to beautiful Lake MI and Silver Lake. Walk a short distance to heated pool, awesome, as Lake MI was freezing! Enjoyed the dune buggy Ride, the ice cream shop, walks on the beach,and campfires and singing away. I love to swim so the heated pool was #1. The hostess was super responsive and helpful!

The home was beautiful and extremely clean. The only thing for us was the mold smell was extremely strong. We lost clothes, blankets and pillows because we couldn’t get the smell out.

Breath of Fresh Air

In the area for a long weekend to celebrate a wedding and take a break from our everyday. This place was clean and quiet, sitting on the porch in the trees was exactly what was needed. Melissa was incredibly understanding and accomindating when a bout of food poisoning tried to off rail our weekend away. We definitely would come back! Thank you!

Perfect Find

We made a last minute decision to stay at Silver Lake so my fiancé could visit with his older children vacationing in the area. Finding this place on VRBO was such a blessing! The owners were great to communicate with and the property was clean and great atmosphere! Location ended up being perfect for many things to do in the area also! We are new to VRBO so didn’t know we needed to bring towels and I’d say that would’ve been our only downside, but trivial in the grand scheme of things! I would come back here again and again!!
