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!

Walking distance to a nice little beach right down the street, and short walk to some shops and restaurants. Family had a great time at this little place!
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!
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!
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.
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.
Comfortable clean and nice area. We were disappointed thst outdoor shower didn't work or we couldn't figure it out and it would have been nice to have washer dryer but loved swimming in Lake Michigan and enjoying the beautiful beach.
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.
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.

Unforgettable Weekend...
On the VBRO website - this place looks great. It's just enough off the beaten path and yet close to all the great amenities that Union Pier has to offer. Beaches, restaurants, antique shopping etc. all within walking distance. not to forget the great communication with our hosts.
If you enjoy being challenged by your host and insinuating that your olfactory organs must be super sensitive and that their blatant efforts to disguise the smell of mold by burning glade candles prior to your check-in to mask the nasty smell of mold which will it work up until about 2am of the 1st night of your stay, this would be the place for you.If spending the rest of your stay in your car for own health safety after being told they would figure something else out sounds good then this is your place! Their standards of clean are questionnable and the presence of mold definitely does pose a health risk to the elderly, young children or potentially has any respiratory issues. When I pointed out where the mold was in my numerous emails to the owner I never received a response other than I was asked to not leave a negative review in exchange for. a discount or money off a next stay. I didn't accept "the in the exchange for.". Next time, we will be staying somewhere else that does not pose a threat to the safety of our health and I suggest you that you do so as well. While Greg and Leann are both very nice, they do not take the safety and health of their guests seriously enough to warrant staying.
The cottage is really cute and comfortable. It’s a short walk to the grocery store and coffee shop which makes it super convenient. It’s set back from the main road so it’s private and surrounded by trees. We loved it so much that we will be going back next month.
A charming spot, immaculately maintained, everything you need. I was with grown children who do not drive, and it was great to be within walking distance of both the beach and shops. The managers were easy to reach and check-in/out was a breeze. They were generous with their time and the schedule. A delight.
What a cute rental for a perfect get away away from the city. Exactly what we needed to escape for the weekend. Very clean, cute, spacious and GREAT location next to your morning coffee and shot walk to the beach. Great host and we will be back again soon!
