We had a wonderful stay at this VRBO! The location was excellent, with a short and easy walk to the beach, which we enjoyed even in the chilly weather. The home itself was very well-equipped with everything we needed, and the amenities made our stay comfortable and convenient. The owner was responsive and helpful, and the check-in process was smooth and hassle-free. It’s also ideally situated with a relatively easy drive from Notre Dame, which was a great bonus for us. We would absolutely stay here again—especially in the summer to fully enjoy everything the area has to offer!

Our family gives this rental 5 stars all around. The extra touches provided here are simply the best—nice beach chairs, towels, comfy beds, an amazing kitchen… we could go on, but you get the idea. Owners were super responsive and answered all of our questions. Great location with just a short walk to the beach. We have vacationed in this area for several years. Will definitely be looking to stay here again.

Great little cottage

We loved our stay at the uncorked cottage. It was the perfect size for our family. Short walk to a nice beach. Lots of great restaurants in the area. The house is very nicely finished.

Amazing stay

I can't say how much we enjoyed our trip. I was very impressed at how well stocked the place was. The proximity to the beach was an added bonus, we were able to go a couple times despite it being September. It's also a great location, near restaurant, hiking and nearby towns such as New Buffalo and Threw Oaks.

Cozy, Clean, and Charming

We loved our stay here! It was stocked with tons of books, games, kitchen equipment, beach stuff…nothing was overlooked. It was clean, so comfortable and cozy, and the screened-in front porch was our favorite area. We are already talking about returning next year.

Late-season getaway

Found this sweet spot on an impromptu decision to the lake. We love this area and being so close to the beach is the best. The house is the most well-appointed rental we’ve ever been in; the best part is the library and games are so well thought out, and my wife was immediately gratified to see everything organized by category and interest. We’ll absolutely stay again. Thank you!

A Lovely Cottage in Union Pier

This cottage is a hidden jewel. Quality work was done on the interior and exterior. Great kitchen set-up and a variety of cookware. Also, a well-stocked library of books and games for all ages. The upstairs and downstairs Sonos speakers was a nice touch. Two-thumbs up.
