The Rambling Hideaway
Welcome to The Rambling Hideaway—a spacious 4,500 sq ft ranch on 1.5 wooded acres in Union Pier. Perfect for multi-generational families and group getaways, the home features two private bedroom wings connected by large shared spaces, plus a newly renovated private pool area and a yard full of fun.
Layout & Bedrooms
The home is divided into two wings, each with three bedrooms:
Wing 1:
Primary suite with flat-screen TV, Comcast Xfinity, fireplace, and spa-like bathroom with walk-in shower and whirlpool tub
Two additional stylish bedrooms
Wing 2:
Custom-built bunk room (2 full beds on the bottom, 2 twins on top) with flat-screen TV and Xbox One—great for kids
Two more renovated bedrooms and a fully updated bathroom
Shared Living Spaces
Between the wings is a spacious common area that includes:
A massive great room with a two-story wall of windows, fireplace, dining area, TV, and a 12-foot Brunswick shuffleboard table
A bright sunroom with three walls of windows, skylights, and a flat-screen TV
A large, sunny eat-in kitchen fully stocked for cooking meals for your group
A half bath and a full laundry room with a new washer and dryer
Bose SoundTouch speakers and strong Wi-Fi throughout
Outdoor Spaces & Pool
The home features two main outdoor zones:
A patio off the kitchen with a dining table and Weber gas grill
A newly renovated private heated pool area with shallow and deep ends, water basketball hoop, lounge chairs, fire table, outdoor dining set, bocce ball, and cornhole
Note: Pool deck and surrounding area were completely upgraded in July 2025. Current photos are from 2024—new drone pics coming soon!
While many guests plan for a beach day, most spend the majority of their time enjoying the pool. It’s relaxing, private, and just steps from the house.
The 1.5-acre yard is perfect for play and surrounded by trees. You'll often spot deer and wild turkeys wandering through the peaceful front yard—it really feels like a getaway.
Guest Experience
We’re proud to be recognized as a Guest Favorite, consistently rated 5 stars and ranked among the top vacation rentals in the region. We work hard to deliver outstanding guest experiences and real value for money—every stay.
Location Highlights
Just a 5-minute drive (or 20-minute walk) to Lake Michigan beaches
Minutes from New Buffalo, Warren Dunes, breweries, wineries, restaurants, shops, and more

About the host
Hosted by CHRIS KELLEHER

We bought the house in 2018 and rehabbed nearly the entire 4500 Square foot house. For example we:
*Created a huge open space with Great Room, Dining Room.
*Built Wing 2 of the house from the ground up, so all rooms are brand new, and stylish.
*Put many touches into the house that we love, and guests also love, including adding a 12 Foot Brunswick Shuffleboard table and added as many amenities as we could!
