This house was great! I have rented several in the area and this one was overall the best for our needs. The beds could be more comfortable. Maybe invest in memory foam mattress toppers?? And mark the basement light switch. Overall a great stay.

Nice family vacation get away

We really enjoyed a few days in Michigan with our family. The house is spacious and charming. The living room has very comfortable seating and the gas fireplace made for cozy evenings. We stayed here in March. The screened porch and fenced in back yard would be very nice in warmer weather. We would very much liked to stay here again.

Family getaway

We loved everything about this house! It was the perfect size for two families and our dogs. We appreciated all of the amenities and the quality of kitchen and bathrooms. The location was great, too, with a little market, bakery and restaurant within walking distance. We would definitely recommend it to any one who is looking for a comfortable, well equipped home-away-from-home.

Awesome Home!

This house had the best backyard space with a great fire pit! Our dog loved having the space to run around. The inside was comfortable and we enjoyed getting cozy watching movies. The home is located a short walk to the market and a great coffee/bake shop. Easy beach access as well, we will definitley stay here again!

Clean, tidy, comfortable

This home provided good value for the price. Vintage, rustic, in decent condition. Union Pier Rd is a main through street from the highway to town, so cars zoom past at high speed, not a great location for a stroll. Bring your own beach towels and chairs.

Response from VrboOwner on 19 July 2023
Hi Michael, thank you for sharing your feedback. We appreciate that you love the home for what it is worth. Cars zooming by on the freeway are often out of our control. In regards to the beach towels and chairs, the home provides them. However, bringing your own would probably be more comfortable depending on your preference. We look forward to hosting you for a great stay in the future.

Family time

Comfortable family home. Clean and spacious. Nice quality beds, bedding, towels, cookware and tableware. Excellent attention to details (such as providing new dish sponge, soaps, paper towels, etc.). Lovely landscaping (even in winter) and festive night lighting outside. Fenced yard a plus, too. We would enjoy coming back for a stay in warmer weather to use backyard, screened porch and deck, too.

Union Pier Getaway

This was the perfect house for an impromptu long weekend family getaway for the five of us (adults) and a pup! There was plenty of space to hang out, play games, read, relax, sleep and our dog loved the fenced in yard. The kitchen was well equipped for a couple of family breakfasts. We loved reading in the screened-in porch area and we made s’mores around the fire pit. We explored the New Buffalo area (our first time here). Having beach towels and chairs provided saved a lot of space in our car and were definitely appreciated on our trips to the beach.

Thank you for your wonderful review, Susan! We're thrilled to hear that our home was the perfect spot for your family getaway and that you, your family, and your pup had such a great time. It’s fantastic to know that you enjoyed the spaciousness of the house, the well-equipped kitchen for family breakfasts, and the cozy moments on the screened-in porch and around the fire pit making s’mores. We’re also glad that the beach towels and chairs were helpful for your trips to the beach! We hope you enjoyed exploring the New Buffalo area and that you’ll consider returning for another visit in the future. We’d love to host you again!

Girls getaway

The house was in a good location, clean and well stocked. The price was deseptive, listed at $223.00 a night and actual price with added fees was $428.86 per night. The bedroom I slept in was right over the basement sump pump and the entire stay, it kicked on about every 9 minutes which was annoying. Also, we asked for an hour or two late check out which was available, but would need to pay $70. We declined since the cost of the overall rental was higher than we expected.
