great location and excellent property manager communication

This is the 2nd summer our family has stayed at this property. Location is close to Silver Lake attractions and the beach area is perfect for children (we had ages 1 -8). The deck area is nice for hanging out and fishing off of. The large eat in kitchen held us all and the common areas were perfect for games, puzzles in the sunroom and relaxing after a day in the sun. We had an AC issue upon arrival and the property manager addressed and corrected that. The 2 main level bedrooms are full size beds, so keep that in mind when planning sleeping arrangements. A great place to spend a vacation!

Perfect Place for a Large Family

Clean, well supplied kitchen, great deck by the water for sitting around the fire, cooking and eating outside. Skiing and tubing from the deck. Great fishing. Everyone from young to old all had a great time.

Great family vacation!

We have rented at other VRBOs over the years. This house was absolutely perfect for our growing family. Everything you could want for making memories with our kids and grandkids! The kitchen is well stocked, 2 fridges was really handy, and the large table was the center of activity. We loved the sun porch both mornings and at night. The kids caught fish off the dock and played in the sand. It was perfect. My only suggestion would be extra air conditioners for the upstairs bedrooms. They were hot and our weather was not overly hot . Overall this is a total 5 stars!

Outstanding Property

Loved the house and the location. Great views and wonderful amenities. The shuffleboard was an unexpected great treat for the kids! And, the 12 seat kitchen table is a one of a kind in our Mears experience. Lovely for everyone to be able to eat together! Close to all the attractions that keep us coming back annually. 5 stars isn’t enough.

Family vacation 2023

Overall it was a pretty good week. The location is very nice. Our first night we had a few problems in the kitchen. The online description said all the appliances in kitchen were new in 2023. That was only true of 3 of the appliances. The refrigerator which was new, made a very loud screeching noise every time you opened the freezer part. The owner did come out the next morning and repair the oven door and put washers on the freezer door to stop the screeching. He was very nice. It is a very nice house. However,the mattresses are way past needing to be replaced. We did know in advance that the mattresses had not been replaced since we stayed a couple years ago, so we had bought new mattress covers, but even that did not help. This place would be a 5 star with new mattresses and air conditioning that worked a bit better to cool down the upstairs. The owners and manager were extremely nice and easy to work with.

Summer Vacay

Northern Oasis was a beautiful, spacious home on Upper Silver Lake on a side channel and overlooking the lake with amazing sunsets! We stayed with our married adult children and each couple had their own queen bedroom. We loved the porch, lots of couches, huge dining room table for meals and games, large well-stocked kitchen, 2 refrigerators, great outdoor deck area for sitting outside, having a fire and playing shuffleboard. We will be back next summer!

Relaxing stay away from home

Overall excellent property. Large enough to accommodate an extended family of 14 or even more. Beautiful back patio with a fire pit, plenty of seating, and shallow swimming in Upper Silver Lake. You can fish off the patio where you'll catch dozens of small sunfish easily, often getting a bite with your hook in the water for less than a minute. Thoroughly enjoyed by the kids and adults!
