Luxury home w Assoc pool, private hot tub. Walk to lake, restaurants,brewery
We are located in the heart of Union Pier and on the lake side of Red Arrow. (approximately 10 minute walk to the beach)
It is best described as a luxurious home with an emphasis on comfort as well.
The property features a main house and an additional coach house just steps from one another in our private gated courtyard. The main house has 3 bedrooms (all main level) and each bedroom has its own private bath. Two bedrooms are queens and the primary is a king.
The den/tv room in the main has a sleeper sofa as well. (full)
The kitchen is open to the great room and dining area and a chefs dream in that it has a Wolf range and two full dishwashers. You can cook a special meal and still be with your loved ones! There is a gorgeous wood burning fireplace in the dining area and the great room alike.
There is an additional wet bar area that features an ice maker and wine refrigerator.
One of our favorite spots is the screened in porch just off of the dining room that has an additional table for 8, a large flat screened tv, and two sofas flanking yet another beautiful fireplace.
Stepping outside the porch is a STUNNING courtyard with a fireplace and stone hot tub that has a waterfall feature and a pergola overhead with twinkling lights that is truly just magical at night.
Just beyond the hot tub is the charming carriage house that has another 2 bedrooms with private bathrooms. (both queens....one is main level and the other is in the "basement" but the basement bedroom has almost floor to ceiling windows on two sides and is actually a favorite room of many)
There is another sofa bed in the main living area of the coach house.
The coach house also has a sink, refrigerator, and a Keurig to add to the comfort.
The neighborhood is very sweet and pretty small with just about 20 houses. PLEASE READ>>>> the association pool is gorgeously landscaped and a special spot but we do have some restrictions...renter/guests may use the pool /poolhouse from Sunday night at 5pm-Friday at 2pm ONLY and 10 people from our home at any one time. Holidays are off limits entirely. We have an emphasis on being good neighbors and we hope that you will too. There are many private pools on our street and the pool is usually very peaceful. The poolhouse has a bathroom and also a ping pong table.
There are a few walkable restaurants and we are also very close to the new bike trail as well as a very short 5 minute stroll to the farmers market on the weekends.
We do have 3 outside security cameras in the front of the property only.
THE HIGHLIGHT on the pool is inaccurately described by VRBO and Ive reached out many times for them to correct it..its autogenerated and out of my hands ...the pool is open seasonally ONLY and NOT year round. It is heated.
PLEASE read our reviews as they tell the tale as to why you want to book now. The house is truly so special, cozy and inviting while still allowing much privacy. Send us any questions! We are happy to help!

Great house and location. Loved being able to walk to black currant bakery and the beach about 15 min. Quite unique to have bathroom for each bedroom. Kitchen amenities are plentiful and nice sitting area for visiting as cooking. Fireplace on screened porch very nice.
Absolutely perfection. House and property is stunning, perfectly luxurious, comfort and cozy as well as perfectly added extras throughout this house. All bedrooms have a bathroom, a real plus. We rented for a girls weekend great space for relaxing, easy walk to beach and lots of amenities. We hope to return next year! Great for family/friends gatherings. Lovely accommodation . Thank you for sharing this wonderful home
We have stayed at many vacation rentals, and this property was one of the best we have encountered. It looks exactly like the pictures, was spotless, well outfitted and just an all around pleasure to be at.Communication with Amy was magnificent, she shared all kinds of tips and suggestions and responded to any questions we had right away.The neighborhood is an easy walk to the lake, a short drive into New Buffalo and is so easy to find. I truly wish we could have stayed longer and sure do hope that we can return again. Definitely 5 star worthy in all aspects!
We had a wonderful time at Stone’s Throw!! The home is even more beautiful in person than in the pictures. The property and design are elegant and comfortable, and it’s just well thought out and cozy too. (We were up for a girls weekend, and as an added bonus, we especially loved that there were bathrooms with every room!). It was perfect! Would absolutely stay again!!
Truly a gem property! High quality home in all respects situated in a beautiful neighborhood and overseen by a wonderful host. Amy’s communication was excellent: timely, considerate and responsive. Highly recommended!
Beautiful location. Golf cart helped a ton. Wish we could have used the pool on Saturday as renters were not allowed to use it. There was no one there. Policy was fully disclosed but seemed odd
This house was perfect for a girls weekend! It has all of the amenities we needed (and more) - a large kitchen, screened in room with comfy furniture, a hot tub, and plenty of seating around the fireplace in the backyard. The guest house was great as we all had a comfortable bedroom to sleep in. You can tell the owners treat this home as their own. The host, Amy, was very responsive and checked in with me before, during, and after the trip. I highly recommend - we could not have asked for a better house for a girls weekend and look forward to coming back!
We stayed at Stones Throw for a weekend with the girls and it could not have been more perfect. The house is BEAUTIFUL. AMY was an absolute pleasure to work with. I’m literally at a loss for words. There is no doubt we will be back to enjoy another weekend together. Absolutely lovely experience all around!
This was the perfect house for my milestone birthday celebration with friends! It was designed for entertaining - from the kitchen, the bar, surround sound, to the outdoor patio and hot tub! Everyone enjoyed having their own bathrooms en-suite as well. We had a private chef come in and had dinner in the enclosed patio that was amazing! And the location is great too - walking distance to restaurants, shops, and the beach. Thank you Amy for being such a wonderful host! We will definitely be back!
We stayed for two weeks in Union Pier at Amy's place and had an absolutely amazing time. Amy could not have been more responsive to all questions/requests, making our stay as seamless as possible. We were two families, seven adults and 2 children and had more than adequate space to come together for meals and to sneak away for a nap, netflix or some quiet reading. Would not hesitate in staying here again or recommending their place. thank you very much for sharing your home with us. bw
This was the absolute perfect weekend!! We had 10 women to celebrate a friend's 50th. This house could not have been more perfect for our girls weekend. Quick drive to wineries and New Buffalo and we could walk to the beach. While we had dinner reservations to go out, we chose to stay in and enjoy pizza, wine and conversation on the incredibly cozy covered porch. The place was decorated and furnished with such great taste. It accommodated all of us so comfortably. I would highly recommend. The host was very responsive to all questions and easy to work with. We will be back.
The property is located on a beautiful tree lined street and is immaculately kept. Every room is fantastic and filled with everything you could possibly need. The outdoor space will be the gathering point for all with its comfortable furniture and fireplace for s’mores! The hot tub was great for the evenings. We had adults and kids ranging from 9-16. Bathrooms aplenty here with no worries about hot water. The area has a cute European farmers market on the weekends that is a short walk away. The pool is located next door and has a ping pong table which the kids enjoyed. The host, Amy, is super responsive and gracious. Do not hesitate to book this, you will love every minute of it. And they have 3 dishwashers, built in ice maker and bar fridge!!!!
The pictures of this home doesn’t do it justice. It was amazing. The layout was perfect for our 3 couples and 3 kids. The adults stayed in the main house and the kids (11-12 years old) took over the coach house. Unlike many MI Lakehouses every bedroom had its own bathroom (en-suite) which grown adults can appreciate not having to share a bathroom! The finished and fixtures are way above most rental properties and Amy the owner was super responsive to any of our questions or needs. We will plan to stay at this home again! Only challenges were not being able to access the attached pool since we were there during Labor Day (home owner association rule) and the trash was a bit full since it’s removed on Monday’s and we arrived on Friday.
I cannot say enough amazing things about Amy & her property. I planned a surprise party for my husband with 4 other couples and Amy was over the top accommodating. She took measurements of the dining table, sent me images of glassware, chatted with me on the phone about Union Pier (as we had previously only explored New Buffalo) & she could not have been more patient and kind during all of my planning. Her home is cozy, warm, inviting & beautiful. Each bedroom has a bathroom which makes it perfect for a couples trip of 5. The numerous fireplaces is what sold me on the property but after our stay I know we will be going back again and again. Don’t think, just book! You won’t regret a retreat like this one. 10 stars if I could!
Beautiful and relaxing retreat for a girls' weekend
Stayed at this beautiful property with a group of women friends for a long-overdue girls' weekend away in September. There were 5 of us total. It was just perfect! The home is very thoughtfully laid out, and settling in and figuring out how everything worked was a breeze, due to Amy's great communication and instructions. The outdoor areas, screen porch, hot tub, and the fireplaces were a fantastic way to relax and spend time together without even having to go anywhere. There are comfy beds, cozy blankets, a separate fridge and dishwasher for wine and glassware... every detail invites you to relax, unwind, and linger awhile. The house is so gorgeous, you may never want to venture out! But when we did, Townsend public beach was a short walk away, and there are lots of cute wineries, antique shops, and restaurants nearby, either with a short drive or walk. Amy is a fantastic host and was quick to reply with any questions. Highly recommend this Harbor Country gem!
Beautiful property just as described. Amy, our host was accommodating and friendly and all the things you’d want in a rental property host.We enjoyed our stay sooo much.Thank you, Amy
The house is beautifully furnished and so comfortable. We are 6 adults and 4 little ones and we had plenty of room to spread out and used all the rooms. The sauna is great especially since we didn't have access to the pool on Saturday. We used the beach for the day and it was perfect weather and water temperature. We wished we could have stayed longer which is a good sign.
Amy‘s place was exactly like the description! Everything was very clean, comfortable and the home was stocked with everything we needed for a perfect stay. We really enjoyed the screened in room with a fire at the end of the day- the perfect place to gather and decompress.
The house is stunning and was well-suited for our large group. The beds were comfortable; there was plenty of space to spread out and spend time together as a big group or in smaller groups. Everything was better than expected. Would definitely stay again. Amy was very easy to communicate with.
Our family really enjoyed our stay here! The house was comfortable, clean, well appointed and spacious. Every bedroom had their own bathroom. The bedrooms had comfortable beds and nice linens. There were plenty of spaces to hang out, living room, den, enclosed porch and outdoor patio with furniture. Even the landscaping is done nicely. The kitchen had everything you could possibly need for food prep. The pool was located right next door.
This gem is nestled in the woods a short distance from the lake. The layout is fun and functional. I had a group of 8 but it easily could have accommodated more. The host is the best communicator I have ever interacted with. She’s incredibly thoughtful and gracious. I highly recommend this stay!
You know that feeling when you unlock the front door, step through the threshold, and feel as if you’re home? That is the feeling we had when we walked into this home—warm and invited. The interior is stunning. The layout is perfect for our four couples, although, it is large enough for five couples to feel comfortable and not cramped. The kitchen is equipped with everything we needed and there is access to the washer/dryer. The exterior grounds are deLIGHTful, from the coziness of the seating around the fireplace to the relaxing hot tub. We would like to thank the owners who were so very responsive to our questions and needs. No item of comfort is overlooked by these hosts—down to the surprise left in the kitchen for us! We are excited to make plans to return. Thanks so much.Sherry W.
We spent the weekend at this property for my sister‘s bachelorette party, we had 14 of us staying at the house and we were all able to sleep very comfortably. The property was clean and beautiful, an excellent place to spend the weekend! Amy was extremely responsive and answered all of our questions very quickly. The directions around the house on how to use the sound system and check in and check out process were easy to understand. We absolutely love this place and would be happy to stay here again.
