WALK ONE BLOCK TO PRIVATE BEACH! This chic and cozy 3 bedroom, 2 bath Union Pier cottage is only 4 houses from a sprawling private beach and close to everything in Harbor Country. Open floor plan, hardwood floors throughout, brick fireplace and beauty out every window. 3 nicely appointed BRs incl. 2 Queens + 1 w/ 2 sets of bunkbeds. Both BAs feature walk-in showers; 2nd BA has twin vanity sinks. Large front porch and back deck w/ gas grill. Fenced-in yard has plenty of room to play!

The residence offers stylish comfort and cozy living all in one. A living room with fireplace and Smart TV leads to the eat-in kitchen that is fully equipped with a comprehensive housewares package and all major appliances. Dine indoors or out with an outdoor living area accessible directly off the kitchen.

When downtime is needed, escape to one of 3 private bedrooms. Each room is styled with amazingly soft linens, has large windows overlooking the grounds, and offers great sleeping arrangement options for any group configuration. Two rooms have queen beds (one an ensuite with walk-in shower), and the third is fabulous for kids’ sleepovers with 2 twin-over-twin bunk beds. A second bathroom with a large walk-in tile shower and double sinks keeps the morning and evening routines on schedule.

Set on a quiet side street, the cottage’s fenced back yard and lush landscaping give the property the feel of a hidden oasis, and a rustic detached gazebo is great for cool drinks and card games.

Beautiful Weekend

It was a great Thanksgiving weekend except for the fact that we couldn’t get any football games on the tv. We had to go to a local bar/ restaurant to be able to watch our games.

Lovely place, great location

This home was perfect for our family. We enjoyed lots of time on the lovely beach. The house was set up nicely and had everything we needed. The management was quick to resolve a minor issue.

Beach Buddies

The 4 of us had a wonderful stay at the cottage in Union Pier. The beach was close and wonderful. We rode bikes and played golf. The kitchen could use an upgrade, but overall the cottage was great!

Relaxing and Fun for Family of 4

Our family of 4 had the best time! The house is spacious inside and out. Lots of room for sleeping, relaxing, playing, etc. The hammock was a my favorite - it looks up into the most spectacular trees. Gorgeous! Fire pit and yard was great for the kids. There are so many little nooks, decks, sitting areas to enjoy! And the yard is very shady and fenced! Kitchen had everything we needed. (Grill was great but note that only half it works.) Beds were comfortable. Loved the short walk to Whistle Stop Cafe. Access to the beach was close. We have a 3 and a 4 year old, but with the help of a wagon, we were able to easily tote the kids and all our stuff to the beach. Note - the steps access to the beach only gets you about halfway down. Then you have a short but steep decline of sand to walk. This was easy on the way down with little ones, but not easy on the way back up. Anyone with mobility issues or super little ones would have a difficult time. There are other points of entry onto the beach, however. You would just need to walk down the street a little further. Other things to note that might be important to some - internet is not strong. My husband had to work a couple days on our stay and the internet was a little challenging. Also, there were wet towels left in the washer by the previous people/cleaners. Glad we caught it after just a couple days. Otherwise that would have gotten smelly. Overall, this place worked great for our family. We always felt safe, cozy, relaxed, and happy :)

Beautiful cottage

The cottage was very updated and clean. The private beach access was just down the street. We were happy to see that they were stairs going down all the way to the bottom of the beach. We just had to walk a little bit further down the street. That was a lifesaver. The private beach was so quiet and nice and clean. We never even made it over to the public beach. We were able to rent a paddleboard and bring it to the private beach. The cottage was so clean and cute. We would definitely stay again. We love Union pier and how they have added a few more restaurants since a few years ago. It is nice to go into new Buffalo which is just a five minute drive but even nicer to have a couple of local grocery stores and restaurants walking distance
