About this property

A cozy cottage tucked away in the heart of Union Pier!

A cozy 2BR/1BA cottage that is tucked away on a quiet lot that is located just steps away from the local bakery shop, ice cream parlor, beach equipment rentals, and town market to stock up on last minute necessities you may need for your stay! It is a short walk, less than three blocks, to the beautiful Lake Michigan Town Line Road beach. The open concept floor plan is laid out on a single level with a well-equipped kitchen and a dining table that seats up to 6. Vaulted ceilings with skylights bring in lots of natural light throughout the living and kitchen areas. Both guest bedrooms offer queen size beds with plenty of storage to unpack and make yourself at home. Start your morning with a local coffee on the spacious back deck while enjoying the sounds of the lakeshore. The cottage also features an outdoor shower to rinse off after a day of sun and the sand. There are many Harbor Country spots to explore such as several top-notch restaurants, beaches, hiking trails, local wineries, microbreweries, nearby casinos, and antique shops. There is plenty to do in the area to fill up your days exploring or you can simply choose to relax on the beach or in the backyard of this cozy cottage with a book. A gas grill on the back deck offers the option of grilling out followed by time around the outdoor fire pit making s’mores for dessert.
Simply pack your belongings, food, drinks, beach towels, and personal items and you will be completely prepared for your summer get away. This is the perfect place to unwind and enjoy your beach vacation for the budget minded renter!

Linens and towels are provided. The home offers air conditioning throughout, as well as central heat. Cable television and wireless internet are also provided. The house is outfitted with a dvd player, dvd's, books, games, and puzzles for your evening down time.

Minimum age limit for renters is 25 years of age and that person is responsible for the entire group during the stay. The maximum number of adult guests may not exceed the maximum occupancy number (or sleep number) of the cottage.

A short trip to the beach

This house perfect our stay. Union Pier is such a cute town and has a delicious bakery right around the corner from the house. The beach was a short trip down the road. The house was fully stocked with everything we needed. Plenty of games and movies and even beach stuff. Enjoyed our stay and would go back in a heartbeat.

Quiet and private

Cute place tucked away from noise and traffic. Outdoor shower was a bonus after beach days. Plenty of dining options close by. The area is really changing with many multi unit places, but this place has retained its beachy cottage feel.

Cozy yet spacious cottage near the beach

Really enjoyed our stay. Leann was extremely responsive to questions and requests. It's about a 12 minute walk to a lovely beach with tons of shoreline to walk and not too many crowds! Cute New Buffalo restaurants a short drive away. Thanks for a great last week of summer!

Love our little getaway!!!

I usually go to Union Pier for little getaways and was looking for last minute stay. I found this place and the owner was very prompt and accommodating. It’s a very short walk to the beach and the market shops. Bonus it’s also really close to the Union Pier Social restaurant which has amazing food. We ended up going twice for dinner. Highly recommend this cottage!!

Our third but not last year

Once again, had a wonderful week in Union Pier. As always, it has everything we need, and communication is always easy. The location cannot be beat and the home checks all of our boxes--ample yard space for kids, outdoor shower, porch for morning coffee and meals. We can't wait to come back next year.

Great chill time in Union Pier

We stayed 3 nights and wish it had been longer. Union Pier is a sleepy little town with gorgeous beach access and local stores and restaurants. We came for beach vacation and did just that and not much more. The house was roomy enough for the three of us, with comfortable and very clean accommodations. I was disappointed the outdoor shower was not in working order for our stay. The deck area was very welcoming. Don’t forget to bring your bike to find the best beach for sunset! There is a little market, bakery, and gelato shop a block away. Greg was an excellent communicator! Thanks for a relaxing stay.

Great stay! Lovely home! Very cozy!

This home is in an ideal location in Union Pier! Great access to beach, bakery, and grocery store. We loved our time biking, and enjoying the beach there! The home was clean and well stocked. We were left items for making smores, fresh fruit, coffee, and chocolates to enjoy! All of this was appreciated!

Perfect getaway!

Three of us ladies went for the weekend and it was amazing - just the right size for us to be comfortable and have what we need. Walk to the beach was a bit longer than anticipated and very small, but New Buffalo Beach was a short drive away and FANTASTIC! So many fun things to do around the area and the cottage was simple while still having everything we needed. Thank you for sharing your home with us!

Cute cottage

My husband, our teen daughter and her teen cousin stayed here for a weekend get away and we were very pleased! The house was the perfect size for us and the outside fire pit was an excellent addition! There were numerous places within walking distance, including the beach. The owners were extremely responsive to my questions and they went over the top with making the place feeling homely and welcoming. We will definitely stay here again!

Pleasant stay

Overall we were both very happy for accommodations and well-rested after our stay. My husband has been ill with respiratory issues so he noticed the dust and cobwebs on the living room ceiling fan (I tried to clean with broom), and dark black mold on lower shower tiles.

Union Pier Vacation

I was very happy with the total experience renting this property. Leann and Greg provided outstanding customer service from my initial contact with them and throughout the entire process. They followed up immediately whenever I had questions or needed assistance with anything. The cottage was very comfortable, neat and clean and had so many above and beyond amenities (snacks, beach towels and chairs, books, games, etc). Which were most appreciated. Thanks much to Leann and Greg for making this vacation a most enjoyable experience.

The photo of the beach access implies it is attached to the rental property. It is not. Majorly disappointed upon arrival.
