About the host
Hosted by Rick Nieves Sr.
We are an adventure seeking fun family!! We would love for you to enjoy our home during the wonderful summer and winter months in the silver lake area!!! We went out on a limb after coming up north from Illinois the past few years and decided to get a family vacation home to cherish all the memories... We thought it would be a great idea to share this with others.
Why they chose this property
Our property was built in 2019 with state of the art materials. It's literally in like new condition. We painstakingly put in months of work to get the home to the level it currently is in. Every little detail was reviewed to ensure people that stay here, including ourselves need nothing else to have a great time!!! Our family has vacationed in the Mears/Western Michigan area for several years. If this is your first stay to the area, I will venture to say that it will likely not be your last. Mears is in close proximity to all sorts of activities including biking, boating, kayaking, canoeing, fishing, beaches, beautiful Lake Michigan sunsets, small town shopping, great restaurants, snowmobiling, hunting, ice fishing-you name it. The people from the area are warm and friendly. There are plenty of Wineries to choose from in addition to the Silver Lake Sand Dunes which are just a hop, skip, and a jump away. You can also enjoy ATV/off-roading, and did I mention the views of Lake Michigan? It is our love for the area that has brought us to routinely vacation here.
What makes this property unique
We strive to offer a truly unique vacation home experience with one of the cleanest properties in the area. ALL amenities are included to make you feel at home including, high speed Internet, roughly .75 acres of land with a generous size deck and patio. A huge outdoor block fire pit is provided for those cool nights to sit around and share stories with the family. Love the water? Take a 5 minute walk and you'll have direct access to over 800' of Lake Michigan shoreline with all its beauty!!
