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.

Great location
Loved the location. Just steps away from the local coffee shop/bakery, grocery store and gelato place yet tucked away for privacy. Liked that I could walk to the store for supplies and a newspaper. The lake front view and beach is an easy walk down the street. Centrally located for easy access to the surroundings communities. Very much enjoyed our stay!

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.

Nice bungalow vacation stay!
The property is just what we needed. Blocks from beach, steps from a wonderful bakery and bike shop, and nice yard for cookouts. We had a great time and the property manager was very responsive to questions and even brought us beach chairs!

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.

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.

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!!

Sunshine Cabin
SUCH a cute cottage/cabin for a quick beach vacation. Centrally located to several great public beaches (walking distance to one), a very quick walking distance to coffee, gelato, bakery, and other eateries. Well-stocked with everything you could possibly need—dishes, coffee and coffee maker, DVDs, games, books for all ages, and the outdoor was so convenient!

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.
