I enjoyed this experience from booking to check-out. The cottage was very clean, well stocked, even had some firewood for the fire pit. The host’s recommendations about restaurants and excursions proved to be excellent as well.

We enjoyed our stay at Claddagh Cottage for four days at the end of May, 2026. It was cozy but with plenty of space for four adults, a teenager, and our dog. The cottage was attractively decorated and well supplied with all the necessary cooking and bathing items plus fun and entertainment: games, internet streaming channels, etc. The back yard was huge, complete with a hot tub and fire ring with lawn chairs. This was a lovely place to stay for a family getaway. We would definitely like to stay here again sometime in the future.

The best place we have stayed at in Union Pier!

This place was just as advertised, impeccably clean and super convenient to the beach and areas in town. We LOVED our stay - the quiet street, kind and friendly neighbors that live there regularly and the cottage had everything we needed to feel at home. We would 100% recommend and will likely be back next year!

Perfect Beach Weekend

We really enjoyed our stay! The location in Union Pier is great for walking to a delicious bakery in the mornings and with a slightly longer walk you are directly at the beach. We spent a lot of time in the lovely yard, which has everything you need for eating outside, playing yard games, and making a nice fire in the evening. Highly recommend!

Cute bungalow close to everything!

We were very pleased with the cleanliness and accommodations of the house. No one mentions the train tracks directly behind the house that have a pretty robust schedule but it was entertaining for our 8 year old son. Loved the hot tub and all the yard and indoor games to play. Thanks to the hosts!

The other side of the Lake

We were so pleased to be able to stay in this adorable and cozy cottage that had everything we needed so that we could be near beaches and plenty of nature. We had fun spotting deer and turkeys in the yard. The kitchen was stocked to cook a meal and we really enjoyed being able to grill. The clean and roomy hot tub was another great perk. Thank you for sharing your property!

Cute little cottage that is close to Lake Michigan beaches. We did run into a plumbing issue the first morning there where the bathroom toilet clogged and the shower stopped draining, but it was handled that day and they were very responsive. We also had a bit of an ant issue, they had someone out to spray the day after we reported it, but even with that, the ants did continue to be an issue. That being said, it is a nice little place to go for vacation.

Slightly disappointed

The house is cute. Beds are SUPER comfy. However, it was dusty, and there was some fragrance in the house that gave me a headache the entire time I was in it, but as soon as I left, it went away. In addition, the kitchen table and chairs were a little rickety. That's also located right next to a train track and it's loud and woke us up several times in the middle of the night And there was a small ant problem in one of the bathrooms. I wouldn't stay there again, but it was cute.

Cute and Comfortable

We were a group of four friends visiting from Chicago over Labor Day. We found the house charming, well appointed and comfortable. The beds were very comfortable (as was the couch for an afternoon nap), and we found the kitchen well-stocked with the items we needed to cook several meals for ourselves. One note - The house is in a wooded area, so as would be expected, there are some creepy-crawlies both outside and inside the house, so if you are an arachnophobe, bring bug spray! Check-in and check-out were a breeze, thanks to a lockbox on the door. I missed an email that went into my junk folder the day of check-in so called the office and the person I spoke with was friendly and helpful. I'd definitely recommend this property to others.

Some Improvements & Updates Would Go a Long Way in This House!

Stayed here for a long weekend with four friends. Overall the house worked for our needs but we did have some things we wish had been improved. Clean bathrooms, nice showers, good water pressure. Beds were comfy, linens could use replacing. Kitchen was well worn, almost all utensils, equipment and cookware needs replacing. The living room did not feel clean to us at all - the couch, chairs and tables were all dusty and dirty and in need of replacing. The heat was hard to balance - we were cold downstairs and hot upstairs. The fireplace would have helped make it cozy but we had a hard time keeping it from getting smoky in the house. We think the flu could be cleaned to improve this. We did not find the train to be noticeable at all - and when we did hear, it was not annoying. Neighborhood was almost silent, especially for five Chicagoans ha. Some quick and easy updates that would make a huge difference would be to add some pillows and throws in the living room (there wasn't one in the whole house!) for lounging, add a motion light outside near the hot tub to make getting in and out safer and add some additional hooks in all the bedrooms and bathrooms for hanging clothes, towels, suits, etc. We counted 44 empty drawers in the house but little to no easy storage such as hooks for the six people staying in the house. Overall would maybe stay again if some improvements and updates were made and house got a deep clean.

There were no complaints during their stay as we would be happy to send a cleaner out for anything a guest felt needed attention. During COVID all throw pillows and blankets have been removed for the safety of our guests and staff.

Fantastic location featuring easy walkability to Union Pier hot spots like Black Currant Bakehouse and Union Pier Social. Very spacious both inside and out. Public beach access gets crowded, but it’s only 20-30 minutes down Townline Road. House was clean and comfortable.

As lovely as advertised

This place was exactly as advertised. The pics are accurate as is the description. The location is on a quiet street which was nice. The tres made it seem very private. Most importantly it was extremely clean. I have severe allergies and it's rare for me to stay somewhere new and not have at least a mild reaction, but here I had none. Would definitely recommend this property and rental company.
