We truly enjoyed our stay in Mears at this cottage. The house had everything we needed and more. The short walk to Michigan’s shoreline was perfect for viewing the sunset each night. The Sable Point Beach and lighthouse was also very beautiful and so close. We would most certainly book this home again as it very much felt like a home away from home!

This cottage has everything you need for a wonderful stay. It was clean and exactly as described. 2 of the bedrooms are pretty small with hardly room to walk around the beds, but we were only there to sleep so not a big deal. The upstairs with kitchen and 2 living areas is very spacious. How nice it was to stay somewhere that accommodates 6, that actually holds 6 people comfortably. Plenty of seating area for all of us. Steps from the beach. Quiet area.
