Getting Around:
Getting here is easy. Being here is transformative. We’re all for planning the perfect weekender, but sometimes a spontaneous getaway is just what the proverbial doctor ordered. At less than 70 miles from downtown Chicago, Union Pier is the perfect city break. Come see what’s on the other side of the lake.
Easy access to I-94 and just west of Red Arrow Highway, which is the main road through the Harbor Country towns. Lake Michigan private beach is a pleasant 5-10 minute walk. House is located just a 5 minute walk to "Downtown" Union Pier shops. There are numerous options for hiking very close by, and a public access site for kayaks and canoes on the Galien River is nearby. Besides nature, the area has a great selection of excellent restaurants, breweries, shops, casinos, and numerous local wineries.
Free parking pad space on the premises (1 spot), and a few cars can fit on the street in front of the home.
Having a car is recommended Uber/Lyft are available as ride share options, but plan ahead for scheduling as they can take some time to arrive dependent on season.
There is an Amtrak Station in New Buffalo, about 4 miles away, which offers service to Chicago, as well as Ann Arbor and Detroit.
Other Things to Note:
There is only one wall mounted air conditioning unit located in the rear living room of the house. Each room & bedroom has its own ceiling fan. The house is surrounded by large mature trees that shade the house and keep it fairly cool in the winter time.
For the winter months, there is baseboard electric heat in each room of the house as well as two wood burning fire places located in the front and back of living room.
Interaction with Guests:
Owners can be reached by cell phone provided upon reservation confirmation.
