Main floor king bed~Lake Michigan Beach ~A/C~Wifi~Silver Lake Sand Dunes~6 Beds

Welcome to the Shipwreck Chalet Wooded Retreat!

About the house...

A private hideaway nestled in the woods. Located in a quiet neighborhood, but so close to all the many activities the area has to offer. Beautiful setting for all the seasons.

Very clean, all surface sanitizing cleaning standards and comfortable well-furnished home!

PURIFIED WATER! We have a reverse osmosis water system for drinking and soft odorless water through the home.

Wireless high speed internet, smart TV with DVD player in living room additional smart TVs in basement and primary bedroom.

Keyless entry to the home.

We have 6 beds that can sleep 12 people!

Main bedroom offers California King bed. Loft space features 2 full size beds and a queen size bed that can each sleep 2 people.

*WALKOUT* Basement has 2 jackknife full/queen sofa beds that also sleep 2 people each.

The house is setup with one sleeping space on the main floor, another sleeping space upstairs in the loft, and the third sleeping space down in the basement. The house is spacious for all to enjoy together but not feel on top of one another.

Fully functional kitchen, black stainless appliances (range, refrigerator, dishwasher, convection oven microwave), coffeepot, & blender. Island with seating and extended dining table that looks into living room with open concept floorplan. Living/dining rooms have many windows and 2 sets of sliding glass doors that lead out to deck, allowing beautiful forest views while relaxing outdoors as well as from many places inside the home.

Upstairs loft overlooks living and dining rooms and has forest views as well.

**NEW in 2023 - all new carpet throughout AND we added a patio under the deck for additional outdoor enjoyment!

About the location...

Located between Silver Lake Sand Dunes in Mears, MI and Pentwater Lake in Pentwater, MI and only a 5-10 minute walk to the Lake Michigan private community beach. BONFIRES ALLOWED ON THIS BEACH!!

(**Please note: there are many stairs to get to this beach, however are also many other beaches close by, if stairs are an obstacle.)

Many restaurants nearby in Pentwater, Hart and Mears and activities such as beach yoga, art events, horseback riding, golf, wineries, breweries, boating and more all about 10 minutes drive. Silver Lake ORV park is a fun and unique attraction where you can drive your Jeep, SUV, or rented vehicle right on the sand dunes! If you don’t have a vehicle, you can also enter the dune park on the pedestrian side and hike the dunes away from the vehicle traffic, but still with amazing Silver Lake and Lake Michigan views, as well as able to watch the "duners" off-roading on the sand.

On the other side of Silver Lake is downtown Mears with several more attractions like Craig's Cruisers amusement center and the locally famous Chicken Shack. And if you are without sand vehicles and water toys, there are many places in town to rent something to play with. Or you can take a guided tour of the historic dunes through Mac Woods Dune Rides in Mears for a completely different experience as well! Travel a little further south to see Little Sable lighthouse on Lake Michigan and venture all the way to the top if you like!

Long weekend
Stephanie was a responsive host and allowed an early check in. The house is nice, but the beach is about a half a mile away. Beach towels are provided! We stayed for 4 nights. If staying for longer we would have needed to bring our own paper towels, trash bags and toilet paper. There is a gas and charcoal grill. However, if you plan to use the gas grill there is NOT a propane tank provided so make sure you bring one!!! We did not find this out until after we arrived and the host does not provide one. We were a little disappointed because all of our meals were going to be cooked on the grill. Instead we bought a bag of charcoal. The dunes are about a 10 minute drive and a fun activity. We had a good time, but wish that the description of the house details would have been more clear.

More Michigan exploring
We enjoyed a week in the Mears/Pentwater area! Lots to do including wineries, pontoon boat rental and visiting Ludington for the first time... not to mention very close access to a pristine Lake Michigan beach... The house was well stocked with kitchen items for home cooking - great appliances and even storage containers for leftovers! Beds were comfortable if you like a firm mattress, but not a lot of privacy in the loft area. Back yard is smaller than it looks in the photos and neighbors are near but not too close. Basement was fun for game playing when it rained! Host was very responsive and helpful - would certainly recommend for those who want a balance of time at the house and time out and about!

Annual Lake Michigan trip
The cottage was everything described. Clean with all the amenities we needed. Close to the dunes and the lake. FYI there are approximately 74 steps to the private beach area with a rest area in between flights. We caught a couple sunsets and our kids took a few sunset dips in the lake.

Loved the area and two seperate livingspaces
Easy walk to the beach, nice fenced in yard for dogs(must be on chains because fence isnt dog proof). Be very careful where you allow yoir dogs if yoi bring them because there were old pet stains and dogs always want to pee over other dogs pee. Dont let them walk away from you. Our kids loved having the bottom floor to themselves. 40 minute drive to the hunting grounds mu husband likes.

My daughter had her Bacherlorette weekend with her sister and 6 friends here. They said the place was perfect! Stephanie was so easy to get a hold of with any questions. The girls said the house was clean and stocked with everything they needed for their stay. They loved the setting, the close walk to the beach and enjoyed the local winery and the thrilling Mac Dune rides. They would definitely recommend this property and would 100% return for another fabulous stay! 5 stars all around! Thanks Stephanie!

Family friendly and great location.
My family and I stayed here for our annual Silver Lake vacation. The home was very spacious and clean with many amenities. We really enjoyed the location as it is close to the dunes and has a private beach area to use within walking distance of the house. Access to the private beach area requires the use of a large stairway with many steps and is somewhat steep but, we became comfortable with it after a couple of uses. Being able to have a bonfire on the beach was an absolute plus! Stephanie was very easy to communicate with which we appreciated. Overall, we were extremely happy with the home and would definitely stay here again. Thanks Stephanie!

The beach was the very best part. A little walk but worth it. The cottage was decorated nicely with a nice outdoor area. Double beds instead of queen were an issue for my adult children as was the very damp basement. Otherwise a great vacation.

Week get away
Everything is very nice about this location. The beach access is really great (but yes, a ton of stairs) This is a great place but a word to the wise: bring your own pots/pans, toilet paper/paper towel and garbage bags if you are staying with 5 or more people. It’s super expensive if you buy it in town.

Beautiful woods, beautiful beach
This is a great house located in the woods on a dirt road. Very quiet, lots of deer. Although beach access is not on property, it is a short walk to stairs down to the most beautiful beach. Back yard had a nice bonfire pit and fenced yard if you have dogs. Inside was clean and comfortable. Basement was ruffed in but comfortable enough. I loved the shower downstairs with the stone floor. Could use a couple more rugs for warmth. Stephanie was always available for any questions or issues
