Cozy lovely home in the woods
The house was lovely, had much space, and was super clean. We enjoyed long walks in town after a fresh snowfall, the bakery, and restaurants in town. We would definitely rent this home again!

Temerature control was lacking
We enjoyed the comfort of the property, the setting was beautiful too. The heat was complicated. One bedroom was sweltering and the room with the twin beds was freezing. . The master.b.r. was just fine. Although there were instructions in the laundry room, we couldn't get any heat at all in the twin bedded room.

Everything was pretty good overall. My only complaints would be that one of the kitchen chairs didn't have the seat attached and I nearly hurt myself, and the one ply toilet paper!!!!

great time in Union Pier
This place was perfect for us. We spent 3 nights here and took in an ND game on Saturday. The reviews didn't disappoint as all 3 couples were very happy with the home. We played cards at night and hung out on the back deck and yard during the day. House was everything it was advertised to be.

The property is farther from the beach than expected, but it was easy to get to the beach. The property was great and the house was probably the cleanest we stayed at with lots of amenities for our stay!

Great Stay at Union Pier
We were very pleased with our stay on Locke Rd. The house was charming and it was perfect for a family. My sister and I came with my niece and her boyfriend and it was perfect for us. The layout of the house was great family! We also saw deer, chipmunks, bluejays and racoons!!

Great Cousin Reunion
Lovely home perfectly suited for our cousin reunion. Plenty of room, quiet neighborhood and at the edge of the woods. Deer, raccoons and butterflies visited. Close to great restaurants and Warren Dunes State Park for a beautiful Lake Michigan sunset. Bonus of Bridgman Aquatic Center not far for morning pool workout.

Great location and amenities
We went to the dunes all 3 days we were in town and had a great time. The house was really nice and had everything we needed for a great trip. Would be a *very* long walk to the beach :) but still a very convenient drive and we didn't have any issues with parking during the week.
