About this property

Lake Escape - Cozy Cottage - Private Hot Tub - 1.5 blocks to Berrien St Beach๐Ÿ๐ŸŽ๐ŸŽƒ

Lake Escape is a cozy cottage located in Union Pier, Michigan. It's just a short 1 1/2 blocks from Berrien Street Beach and beautiful Lake Michigan -- close enough so that you'll never miss a sunset! Take advantage of the nearby Whistle Stop Cafe and Red Arrow Roadhouse. And it's just a short drive to many other local favorites!

You'll enjoy all the comforts of home with three bedrooms (2 queen and twin bunk) and one bathroom (walk-in shower), washer and dryer, fully stocked kitchen, dishwasher, Internet and cable (including MLB extra innings).

The cottage is a great stay for families with a large backyard area (shared with our co-op neighbors), a fire pit, gas grill and outdoor dining space. Take a soak in the private outdoor hot tub (open year-round!) and enjoy the stars to cap off a day at the beach or your time in Harbor Country. Make memories that will last a lifetime at Lake Escape...the beach is calling!

The Lake Escape was one of our best short term rental stays! The owners were really kind and thoughtful, and they really thought of everything when it came to the property, including providing supplies for the beach, fire, and kitchen. Everything was comfortable, clean, and welcoming. Thanks so much to Tammy and Steve for a great visit!

This was year 5 for our girl's weekend in this beautiful home that offers you anything you could need and still make you feel at home. All the extra touches that Tammy and Steve offer excels above other homes that we've rented and we couldn't be happier to continue coming to this wonderful area because we are located perfectly to get to anything. This includes a very short walk to a beautiful beach, with all your Beach needs ready there waiting for you. We hated to leave, but already know that we will be back for year 6!!

A wonderful getaway!

We had a wonderful time staying at this property! Itโ€™s beautiful, clean, and has everything you need! The owner was so kind and set up the pack and play for my daughter. The hot tub was great perk as well! Itโ€™s centrally located, with nice outdoor space too! We canโ€™t wait to come back next year.

This place was absolutely perfect for our family of 5. Truly appreciated the kid friendly games, all the beach toys/equipment, books to read, amenities, everything! So many small details thought of and accounted for. Restaurant right in the backyard, which was great when we had a 50 minute wait :) My husband and I can be nitpicky and we truly had next to nothing to be improved upon with our stay here - everything was so cozy and perfect. Kids are aged 4-8 and the walk to the beach was incredibly simply and easy. They LOVED the waterproof Uno! The ONLY issue with our trip was that we didn't book it for longer :) Thank you so very much!

This was the perfect property for our family to stay at. We were able to easily walk to the beach with the supplied wagon carrying chairs and toys. This was also one of the cleanest properties weโ€™ve stayed at, which is a huge plus.

About the host

Hosted by Tammy & Steve

Host profile image
In May 2000, we were married at a local inn (you'll pass it on the way to the beach) and Union Pier has held a special place in our hearts ever since. Nineteen years and three sons later, we were fortunate to purchase this cottage and are happy to share with our guests. We hope you enjoy the cottage and the area as much as we do!

Why they chose this property

We have been enjoying Harbor Country for over 25 years and are happy to give our recommendations for dining, drinking, shopping, activities and more!
