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!

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.

Everything was clean and well maintained and “as stated” in the property description. Our host was very attentive and answered any questions that we had.

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.

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.
