Robin's Nest has 3 Bedrooms, 2 Baths. Comfortably sleeps 7-8 in beds (plus additional air bed & inflatable toddler bed). 1 King (with a twin trundle), 1 Queen & a King bed with twin bunk above

Centrally located in Union Pier (just north of New Buffalo) just 2 blocks to Whistle Stop & Red Arrow Roadhouse & easy access to several BEACHES! Great outdoor space - 2 decks (one with hot tub), screened porch & patio with Solo fire pit! Rear yard is fully enclosed. Large front yard too with 2 hammocks. This is my own home so it’s not a typical “rental”. I recently renovated it and it’s pristine. It’s a very livable home all one one level with more outdoor areas than you would ever use!

OUTDOOR TIME: Front deck, rear deck with 8 person hot tub (May-October), HUGE screened in porch with dining table and seating area, front yard and fully enclosed back yard with stone patio with Solo firepit. Outdoor shower (hot and cold). Gas grill. Very kid friendly home with swings in back yard. Hot Tub is closed January-April.

INSIDE TIME. All open living with tons of windows & skylights & cathedral ceilings & woodburning fireplace. THREE SmartTV/Flat screen TVs with Hulu/Netflix etc. High speed Wifi too. Sonos speakers in living room/dining room and screened in porch. Kitchen with everything you'd need (including coffee maker, toaster etc) and open to large dining area. Living room has 2 couches. Beds are all comfy and all bedrooms have black out shades so you can sleep in if you want!. Central heat/air conditioning. Laundry. Large pantry. Nice bathrooms. All cotton sheets on beds (no microfiber!!!) and tons of options for pillows depending what you like. All linens provided.

BEACH INFO: Easy access to nearby beaches (inquire for more details as there are a few options)

Dogs ok but must NOT be on furniture. Pet fee required.

Harbor Country is amazing. I fell in love with it 21 years ago and it’s been my second home ever since.

Minimum one week stay during "on season" (but reach out if interested in shorter stay in case it works with my personal use). Off-season rentals are flexible. Can be rented monthly off-season. Please inquire if interested. Come check it out. You may end up buying a home like I did! :)

Great location

The house was very centrally located to fun things to do. It was clean and exactly as pictured. We enjoyed the screened in porch the most! The beds were comfy and the kitchen was well appointed. We never used it but the hot tub, fire pit and deck looked nice as well. Thank you!

Much Needed Lake Retreat.

Our family of 6 wanted a change of pace and a taste of Lake Life. Though on the 4-lane main road, Robin's Nest was set back beyond a white picket fence, and surrounded by nature. We were thankful for the provided wagon to get our beach items to and from lakeside. Though there's about a block of walking along the highway with no sidewalks, a quick turn and you're walking along the beach road. The house was welcoming; clean and bright, with plenty of room to spread out. Screened in porch areas in front and back, an open deck with a hot tub and living room space gave us options, and we didn't feel like we were on top of each other! We really enjoyed our stay.

West Elm meets Anthropolgie

We've been staying in UP for a week most summers for 25+ years and this has been my favorite rental! Large, wonderful screen porch with L shaped couch and large dining table. Ample seating in living room including another L shaped couch. Comfortable bed, etc. Great decor and lighting .Only downsides for us were hot tub wasn't working great (we didn't even contact owner about this) and there is some noise from Red Arrow Highway (didn't bother me but bothered my husband some). I'd most definitely stay here again!

Long weekend in Union Pier

Not fancy but perfectly comfortable for us and our two married children. It’s close to a busy road and train tracks but we weren’t particularly bothered by the noise. Lovely large back patio and lawn which our dog enjoyed greatly, and a large screen porch for outdoor dining. Not a gourmet kitchen but perfectly adequate for our needs. We didn’t even use the hot tub but we did make fires in the fire pit. It’s close to public beaches and there are several good restaurants nearby. We will probably be back next year.

Family Vacation

We really enjoyed our stay at Robin's Nest!! The weather was cool so we spent more time exploring the surrounding towns than at the beach. The beach is about a 10 minute walk - we walked early evenings. We visited Seedz brewery (dog friendly), Ghost Isle Brewery, drinks and live music at Union Pier Social on Friday night. Take a ride to New Buffalo to see the Lake Michigan yacht club - some amazing boats. Best shopping I thought was in Three Oaks - we also had lunch at Froehlich's and dinner drinks at Journeyman distillery - there is an actual 18 hole green with real grass - our young adult children thought it was really fun. Susan's and Sawyer Garden Center in Sawyer. Hot tub was a hit and used the solo campfire stove almost every night - this house was perfect for us and Robin was very helpful - thank you!!

Awesome experience!

Robin’s Nest was perfect for our group. We enjoyed the outdoor living space as much as the indoor space. The outdoor speaker system was a great addition! Close to a few restaurants and close to the beach access. If we didn’t want to leave, we didn’t have to since the property had everything we needed and was very private.

Lake House

Our family of 3 enjoyed spending time on the screened in back porch, swing set and at the nearby beach! Kitchen had everything we needed, clean bathrooms and beds. Plenty of sitting areas to relax and unwind. We brought our bikes for quick trips to/from the beach. Groceries, shopping and hiking close by. All are feeling relaxed after our stay. Just what we needed!

great place!

This house was comfortable and clean. The distance to the beach was a little longer than we would have normally liked for walking, but no big deal. The good thing was that the nearest beach access didn't have stairs, made it a lot easier when carrying beach gear. The communication with the owner was also great at all times, very clear check in/check out instructions, all questions answered promptly. Overall, would definitely recommend this place!

Wonderful stay

This place was exactly as promised and more. Filled with generous touches. Play area for kids. Kitchen well stocked w good cookware and serving trays. Beautiful screened in porch where we spent so much time - eating, talking, playing games. Close to highway - which we knew - so heard street traffic but it never disrupted anyone. Our two families had a wonderful week!!

Perfect Family Getaway

So many great things to say about this property. Great location.....walking distance to Union Pier and Barrien County beaches on Lake Michigan. Roomy house with open concept kitchen, dining, and family room. The screened in porch was a bonus area and quite lovely. Deck areas in front and in back of the house as well as a fenced in yard that was convenient for our dogs. Everything was CLEAN and organized and roomy.

Incredible place with everything you want

Robin's nest was perfect for our stay in Union Pier. There were 2 fabulous playgrounds for the kids and plenty of resting and conversation places inside and outside. We felt very connected with each other, but also able to have alone time as needed. The kitchen has everything you need for an awesome dinner.

There is a large front yard with outside furniture and a large playset. The backyard has a hot tub close to the house. There is a small swing set, a fire pit with lots of seating, and a nice hammock. The back porch has a large clean grill. The screened back porch is great for eating meals. There is a large table and chairs. The house is beautiful, clean, and well supplied.

Great Getaway

Robin was amazing to work with and her home is lovely and tranquil. We stayed over the holiday weekend and loved being able to grill right at home. The screened in porch was absolutely amazing, beautiful home, and very close to many beaches and New Buffalo shops/walking. I would most certainly book with Robin again 😊

Great stay, we will be back!

Robin was a wonderful host! The home is equipped as described and we LOVED the hot tub, hammocks, and large back screened in porch (and the extra fridge there!). The kitchen is well-equipped re: appliances, dishes, etc as well as salt/pepper/olive oil. We had a wonderful long girls' weekend for a brithday and it worked out perfectly. We were prepared and didn't mind the 10ish minute walk to the beach or being on the main highway and close to the train, but one should be aware that the property is not right on the beach and the train comes through about 1-2 times overnight.

Family vacation

Robin responded promptly to my inquiries. I did think the photos were taken awhile ago as the property seems to have aged. I also should have paid better attention to the square footage as I thought, based on the pictures, the inside space was larger. The front screened porch worked well to store bikes, beach bags, sandy shoes and the screened back porch was also a great space to hang out. The dining table there was larger than the one inside so we used that as well. There was a big storm that came through while we were there and knocked out the power to Union Pier and New Buffalo for almost 24 hours. Robin did not have a flash light or candles. We had to go buy those. Those emergency items would be a good addition to the property. The grill heated up quickly and we used it quite a bit because we ate most meals in. A griddle would be a nice addition to the kitchen but otherwise we had everything we needed. The hot tub was also very clean and nice. The house however was not as clean as we would have hoped. One example was that the first time we went to use the oven, it started smoking. There was a spill on the bottom. I turned it off until I could clean it. When I contacted Robin she explained that her regular cleaning person had a personal situation and had to sub out the cleaning job so others may not have this same experience. The beds were all comfortable. However, I was mistaken in thinking 2 adults could sleep in the queen bunks. That was tight for our family and one person took turns sleeping on the couch. We are all taller, but not overweight. It is about a 3 block walk to the beach. Berrien beach is outstanding. Robin provides sand toys, floats, an umbrella and a wagon to pull it all, which is very nice. We very much enjoyed the Union Pier area and plan to return. We biked to New Buffalo daily, hiked Warren Dunes and hung out at the beach. For our meals out, we ate at Timothy's, The Stray Dog and Brewster's Italian Cafe. All were excellent. It is the perfect spot for a laidback family vacation. We had 7 adults and a 10 mo old.

Great Family and Dog Friendly Rental

The 6 of us and family dogs just spent a week at Robin’s Nest. We had a great time. The backyard, hammocks, and screened in back porch area were perfect for our family to gather and eat meals together. Robin was communicative and responsive. This would be a great house for a family with younger children!

Wonderful place for families

We had a wonderful time staying at Robin’s home. It felt much more like a home than most rentals. Our kids loved it. There are 2 swing sets, a screened in porch, hot tub, toys, and nice layout. Close to everything. Robin was especially nice about offering us leftover food and accommodating our requests. There is some road and train noise since it’s right off a busy road and train tracks, but it didn’t bother us (we are used to city noise). Highly recommend esp for families.
