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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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!!

Pleasant stay
Overall we were both very happy for accommodations and well-rested after our stay. My husband has been ill with respiratory issues so he noticed the dust and cobwebs on the living room ceiling fan (I tried to clean with broom), and dark black mold on lower shower tiles.
