Wonderful property and host!!!

My family and I enjoyed every moment of our stay at this property. Everything exceeded expectations. We loved the outdoor space including the fireplace and hot tub. Having two houses with each bedroom having its on en suite was really nice. The layout worked well for our family gathering allowing everyone to be together but not feel crowded at all. The kitchen was fully equipped and the amenities added to our comfort. The house was immaculate and it was a quick walk to Lake Michigan Beach. Amy was a wonderful host, very helpful throughout the rental process. Communication was fantastic. We look forward to returning.

Enchanting House in Great location

Had a wonderful time at an absolutely beautiful house with 14 of our closest friends. The decor was wonderfully designed and implemented. We loved sitting by the fire in the outdoor living space and catching up. Easy trip to South Bend for the ND game. Will be back again.

Great weekend in Union Pier

We took a group of friends to Michigan to celebrate my husband’s birthday. The property was beautiful! The location was perfect - private, yet close to the beach/lake and near downtown. The host was so sweet and responsive throughout the trip. We’ll definitely be back!

Fantastic stay/property

We had a wonderful stay here with two families (4 adults, 2 5y/o, 1 3 y/o and 1 infant). The host (Amy) was great to work with and helped make our checkin/departure a breeze. The kitchen and enclosed porch was delightful. Quick walk to an amazing beach.

Union Pier Unicorn

This rental property stands out for its comfort and feeling of home. The beds and multiple seating areas provide optimal lounging and restful sleep! The front porch swing was a favorite spot. The home is well designed and the thoughtfully decorated. The separate coach house offered space to spread out, although the five of us would have had plenty of space in the main house. It is a nice walk to the beach, but there is parking available as well. Beach is nice and sandy and the Lake Michigan waves add to the ambience. Communication with Amy was great and she accommodated last minute changes to our schedule. Will definitely be back!

Girls weekend to celebrate 50

This was the absolute perfect weekend!! We had 10 women to celebrate a friend's 50th. This house could not have been more perfect for our girls weekend. Quick drive to wineries and New Buffalo and we could walk to the beach. While we had dinner reservations to go out, we chose to stay in and enjoy pizza, wine and conversation on the incredibly cozy covered porch. The place was decorated and furnished with such great taste. It accommodated all of us so comfortably. I would highly recommend. The host was very responsive to all questions and easy to work with. We will be back.

Fantastic house with luxury amenities, perfectly appointed

We were so impressed with the house, location and attention to detail. The hosts are thoughtful about making sure your stay is beautiful, comfortable and enjoyable. Beds were very comfortable, linens were plentiful and amenities were just right. The kitchen was fully stocked and there were detailed instructions for things like playing music on the sound system throughout the house and enjoying the beautiful courtyard. There were even fresh flowers scattered throughout the property. We can't wait to come back and stay longer!

Great getaway

We had a great week here! The house is beautiful, very well maintained, and laid out so that everyone can be together and still have their own space. It's a short drive - or maybe a bike ride - to Townline beach and into New Buffalo. If you're willing to walk a bit, you can get to a very good little bakery (Black Currant Bakehouse) on foot. Communication from the hosts was great and they were very easy to work with. We got a lot of use out of the association pool which is right behind the house as well as the private hot tub. We had 7 adults, 1 teenager, 1 child and 1 infant and didn't feel crowded at all.

Really great house!

Our family of 4 adults and two small children loved this house. Everyone had their own bedroom and bathroom. There was a fully equipped kitchen, screened in porch, beach towels/chairs/umbrella. There were board games and TVs. The front porch has a swing, the back patio area has ample seating. It was just a great place for us to stay. The communal pool was a 2 minute walk, the beach was about a 12 minute walk. Restaurants and grocery were a 5 minute drive. I would rent this house again in a heartbeat. It was beautiful and comfortable, and Amy (the host) was responsive and helpful! Can’t wait until next summer!

This house, along with our stay, was nothing short of amazing. It was a perfect location / house for our girls' weekend - ample space, great communal area for gathering, and beautiful backyard to relax and hang out. The house was impeccable and looked JUST like the pictures. Amy was a phenomenal host - responsive, timely, descriptive, honest, & easy to communicate with.

You must visit Stone's Throw!

Our family of ten had the privilege of staying at Stone's Throw for Thanksgiving, utilizing the five lovely bedrooms and their respective and well-appointed attached bathrooms. Amy was readily available for questions and was incredibly accommodating and flexible. This property differs from so many I've stayed in due to the thorough planning and meticulous care that has gone into all aspects of the furnishings and upkeep. There were seasonal decorations placed around the living areas, further enhancing the already stunning decor. The kitchen lacked for nothing that was needed to prepare a traditional Thanksgiving feast. There was even a gravy boat and turkey baster! And how often can you actually use the fireplaces in a rental, much less avail yourselves of the woodpile just outside the door? With three dishwashers and a huge supply of glasses, plates, and utensils, there was never a wait for a load to finish. Cold weather and a dusting of snow only served to enhance the appeal of the enormous hot tub, especially at night under the many strands of fairy lights illuminating the patio. I do hope we'll have an opportunity to visit this property again some day!

Beautiful Fall getaway

This is our second time back to the property and just love it. It’s on a quiet tree lined street and the Fall colors were amazing. The property is so elegant and love the cozy feel of a home - beautifully decorated and the beds are so comfortable. Amy, the host, is the best of the best and so communicative. Some of my favorites at the house - screened in porch with fireplace, the kitchen (fully stocked), front porch swing, the beds, and the backyard. Truly a remarkable property and a fantastic location.

Wonderful stay

My family and I couldn’t have been more pleased with this property. It brought us all together but still allowed for our individual space. The kitchen was an exceptional gathering area where we all congregated during meal prep. The sound system offered us the ambiance necessary for the occasion. The grounds were literally ‘heavenly’. You can hear the train infrequently which only added to the unique experience.

Amazing property - clean and great location!

This house was perfect for a girls weekend! It has all of the amenities we needed (and more) - a large kitchen, screened in room with comfy furniture, a hot tub, and plenty of seating around the fireplace in the backyard. The guest house was great as we all had a comfortable bedroom to sleep in. You can tell the owners treat this home as their own. The host, Amy, was very responsive and checked in with me before, during, and after the trip. I highly recommend - we could not have asked for a better house for a girls weekend and look forward to coming back!
