Boho Bungalow by Charming Cottages, LLC Silver Lake Sand Dunes - Mears, MI

Make memories in this cute little cottage located directly in front of the dunes and only a few houses down from the dune entrance. Silver Lake is located in Mears, Michigan and offers shorelines along Lake Michigan and Silver Lake. While vacationing here you won't want to miss out on the experiences that the massive Silver Lake Sand Dunes have to offer. Rent a jeep of your own or head over to Mac Wood's Dune Rides for an adventurous ride on the sand dunes. Nearby is the Hart-Montague Bicycle Trail that will take you along 22.5 miles of scenic routes. The quaint little town of Pentwater is located just north of the Silver Lake area. Pentwater is the epitome of small-town charm with its shops, food, and ice cream. Don't forget to grab breakfast at Cherry Point, where they offer homemade donuts and treats daily. For dinner, spend an evening at Golden Sands, a small, family-owned restaurant and golf course that will leave a lasting impression. Plan on spending a day with your family at Michigan's Adventure for a day of action and excitement. Double JJ is just minutes south in Rothbbury and offers a touch of the Old West with horseback riding, waterpark, miles of trails, and much more. Lucky for you, all of this is just minutes away and waiting for your family to create lasting memories.

Convenient & Cute

This cottage is very cute and in a convenient location super close to silver lake! It was just right for our small family and our kids loved the bunk beds. The cottage had all the household supplies you could need as well including the propane and an easy to use grill. It was a little loud on the weekends because of proximity to the ORV area but during the week it was much more quiet.

I have stayed in a ton of vrbos and airbnbs over the years and i would return to this one in a heart beat. Excellent home, location, and price! Its the perfect dune home. Nothing fancy but very clean and well kept. Enough room to park our 28ft enclosed trailer. We sat outside and watched the traffic go by every day. Cant say enough good things about this place.

Cottage is well stocked with kitchen essentials, the grill came in handy for cooking meals. Bathroom towels and bedroom linens were fine. Cottage was comfortable, the only reason for the 4 stars is because no matter how much febreeze or spray I put on the couches, I could not get over the smell of wet dog. If it weren’t for that, it would have been and excellent stay, as the location to the dunes is very convenient.

Perfect location for us

The house was clean, and exactly as described. Perfect location for us right outside the ORV dune entrance. Road out front is busy, but that is to be expected given it's location near the dunes entrance, and we came to this location to ride the dunes anyway, so we didn't mind. My 5 year old loved to watch all the off-road toys drive by when we weren't out riding.

Great little Bungalow, great location to get to the dunes

This bungalow is exactly as stated, cute and charming. Check in was a breeze, place is clean and met our expectations. Owner was quick to reply. Location was perfect for dune access and watching the trucks and toys drive by when we were not on the dunes. We would rent this place again!

Good home base to explore the area. The street in front does have a lot of dune traffic. Be sure to go out to the lighthouse and Chicken Shack
