Deceived

Definitely needs a new bed/mattress. Any movement wakes you up. We slept on the pull out our second night, and not ideal for someone older. All the screen doors were broken or torn. The bathroom sink is not same as in photo, super tiny!! Although the location is perfect, we made do. For a night or 2 it is good. Definitely not as clean or bright and cozy as the photos.

Very nice cottage will be back

We had a great stay at this rental! The location is fantastic—close to everything we needed. The space is nicely decorated, and we were pleasantly surprised by how well-stocked it was with everything we needed during our stay. Loved the courtyard very private.While the place had a bit of a musty smell at first, it aired out nicely and didn’t bother us after the first day. The bed could have been a bit more comfortable, so I’d recommend bringing your own pillows for extra comfort. There are a few minor repairs needed, like fixing the locks, but overall, we had a very pleasant experience. Would definitely stay here again.

Adorable Cottage in Perfect Location

My husband, son and I stayed here with our two Shih Tzu Maltese dogs and we all loved it. Although the home was very cozy we still had plenty of room to spread out. It was decorated very nicely. We also enjoyed the outside deck very much. The location couldn't have been better. We enjoyed many walks to both nearby beaches and the town. The management team was very responsive to our questions.

Cottage stay in Union Pier

My husband and I stayed here with our two mini golden doodles. The space was the perfect size for us and a great location in Union Pier. Little details like beach towels, restaurant suggestions and starter paper goods and toiletries were a nice touch. Would stay here again!

Adorable in Union Pier

Loved the property! The cottage was perfect for my recent visit to this town that feels like a big neighborhood on the beach. The furnishings and style are up to date and comfortable. Outdoor area is perfect for a pooch. I’ll be back and will bring mine! Thank you!!!

So so small cramped and surrounded

I would recommend adding this space to the main house rather than renting it individually. It was so small. We could t even wash our face or brush our teeth in that sink without making a mess. Also, the space was SUPER humid. All of our belongings were extremely musty and damp.

Fun weekend awesome place and perfect location.

Great time. Only issue is screen doors need some love and could use a better mattress. Everything else is great. Walk to beach walk around neighborhood. Restaurants and breweries are all good. Cozy and quaint

Cottage near the Lake

The location of the cottage was ideal if you are spending time at the beach, just a 2 block walk. A market, bakery and restaurant nearby, though the bakery is only open Thursday to Sunday. The cottage was small but just fine for 2 people and had all amenities we needed. The inside was clean and nicely decorated. There were 2 things that could have made our stay better. First, the outside deck area was not very clean, cob webs on the windows and door going out to the deck and we had to clean off the table and chairs and the deck before using. Second, the internet/wifi did not work.

Cozy Cottage for a Couples Getaway

The location of the cottage is close to many of the breweries/wineries/distilleries that we were interested in going to. This would be a great location to stay and have easy access to the beach if in the summertime. Host was great to communicate with and provided easy check-in instructions as we prepared for our arrival.

Great Getaway

The Cottage is small but very cute and has everything you need for two people. We love sitting in the living room in front of the fire, reading. (Remember to bring your own firewood). It was a wonderful Covid getaway: quiet, gorgeous snow, great cross-country skiing and walking. It was wonderful to have different walls to stare at and different views on our dog walks after being stuck in our home for the last 10 months.
