Cottage w/Firepit & Fireplace. Walk to Beach | Hidden Gem in Union Pier

2026 JUST OPENED! (FRI.-FRI. RENTALS ONLY MID JUNE-LABOR DAY)

This charming cedar-sided 3BR/2BA cottage is nestled in the heart of Harbor Country, just a short 3-block walk to beautiful Lake Michigan. Designed for comfort, the single-level home features an open floor plan with vaulted ceilings and transom windows that bathe the space in natural light. The fully equipped kitchen boasts cherry cabinets, stainless steel appliances, Corian countertops, a large breakfast island, and seating for up to eight.

After a day at the beach, unwind in the spacious living room by the fireplace or step out onto the expansive screened-in back porch. The primary suite includes a king bed, ensuite bath with a soaking tub, double sinks, walk-in closet, and private access to the porch. Two guest bedrooms with queen beds share a large bath.

No need to overpack—beach chairs, towels, and a wagon are provided! An outdoor shower makes post-beach cleanups a breeze. Walk to the beach, Whistle Stop Deli, and nearby restaurants, or explore Harbor Country’s wineries, breweries, nature trails, and Warren Dunes State Park.

We kindly request that guests refrain from hosting large parties or family gatherings out of respect for the neighboring homeowners, many of whom reside here year-round. By fostering a sense of harmony and consideration, we can ensure that everyone enjoys a peaceful and rejuvenating stay.
