Wonderful, relaxing getaway

Everything about this property is amazing. Extremely clean & organized. They had games to play, books to read. The house had all of the amenities and household items we needed. The beach was a 5-minute walk and the local coffee shop was a 7-9 minute walk. Sheila was responsive and replied to my text questions very promptly. A great getaway spot! We would definitely come back.

Amazing stay

I can't say how much we enjoyed our trip. I was very impressed at how well stocked the place was. The proximity to the beach was an added bonus, we were able to go a couple times despite it being September. It's also a great location, near restaurant, hiking and nearby towns such as New Buffalo and Threw Oaks.

Loved It!

This place is great. Super clean, well taken care of, more equipped than any other VRBO I’ve ever been at. You can tell these people genuinely care about you being comfortable and having a good time when you’re there. Great communication too. A+

A Lovely Cottage in Union Pier

This cottage is a hidden jewel. Quality work was done on the interior and exterior. Great kitchen set-up and a variety of cookware. Also, a well-stocked library of books and games for all ages. The upstairs and downstairs Sonos speakers was a nice touch. Two-thumbs up.

Perfect Weekend Break!

What a lovely spot! The location is off the road slightly but perfectly located to walk to the lake, store or the Whistle Stop for breakfast. Beds were comfortable and we enjoyed starting slow over coffee discussing all the neat features of the cottage and how we want one just like it! The porch was so nice and kitchen table was an inviting spot to compete against one another at Yahtzee and cards. We will definitely look to stay at Uncorked Cottage again in the future!

Fall weekend getaway 🍁🍂

This is our 2nd time staying here and it was just as good as the first time. We didn’t have time to use it, but there is a fire pit now that I wish we would have been able to use, we’ll make sure for next time. House is clean, beds are super comfortable and very close to great places to eat. Cannot wait to stay there again. Shelia and John really make you feel comfortable too!

Relaxation in Union Pier

This was an altogether wonderful house! Clean, nicely decorated and well stocked. Sheila was extremely responsive throughout; during the booking process, prior to arriving and while there. Being recessed from the main road, it’s also pretty quiet. We loved the screened in front porch! It was also an easy walk to the beach which was made even easier with the provided beach wagon. All in all, a great stay! Thanks so much.

Another wondeful stay!

This was our second time booking Uncorked Cottage and we were even happier this time! We enjoyed the paved fire pit area with the solo stove for s’mores 3 nights. We just love sitting on the screened in porch and enjoying our coffee and bakery goods from Black Currant Bakehouse. The house is so easy to walk to and from the beach. Sheila has everything you would need at the house to make it easy on what you need to pack. We grilled steaks one evening. It’s truly one of the best vrbo’s we’ve rented. We plan on coming back next summer. I don’t know how many times I said to my husband that I just love this place! ❤️
