Our favorite place to stay in Mears. We love this cozy home and look forward to our annual summer visit all year long. You couldn't ask for a better location if you want to relax outside of town after a long day of fun at the beach or in the dunes.

We had a wonderful stay! The house was spotless and located in a peaceful, wooded area that made it feel like a true getaway. It was only a short drive to all the restaurants, dunes, and activities, so we had the best of both worlds—quiet relaxation and easy access to everything. The lake was just a minute away and was absolutely beautiful. It was calm, serene, and we practically had it all to ourselves, which made it even more special. We would definitely stay here again!

We had the most wonderful stay at Our Neck of the Woods! The cabin is beautiful! There were many extras that made it easier for us to relax and enjoy our family trip. We are hoping to come back next summer for a longer stay.

Summer get away

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.

Great family getaway

We had such a great time staying at this cottage. It is beautifully decorated and completely updated with everything we could've possibly needed. Its on a very quiet road and so close to a beautiful beach that is just a minute down the road. We had such a good time and will definitely be back.

Great stay

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.
