A cozy cottage tucked away in the heart of Union Pier!

A cozy 2BR/1BA cottage that is tucked away on a quiet lot that is located just steps away from the local bakery shop, ice cream parlor, beach equipment rentals, and town market to stock up on last minute necessities you may need for your stay! It is a short walk, less than three blocks, to the beautiful Lake Michigan Town Line Road beach. The open concept floor plan is laid out on a single level with a well-equipped kitchen and a dining table that seats up to 6. Vaulted ceilings with skylights bring in lots of natural light throughout the living and kitchen areas. Both guest bedrooms offer queen size beds with plenty of storage to unpack and make yourself at home. Start your morning with a local coffee on the spacious back deck while enjoying the sounds of the lakeshore. The cottage also features an outdoor shower to rinse off after a day of sun and the sand. There are many Harbor Country spots to explore such as several top-notch restaurants, beaches, hiking trails, local wineries, microbreweries, nearby casinos, and antique shops. There is plenty to do in the area to fill up your days exploring or you can simply choose to relax on the beach or in the backyard of this cozy cottage with a book. A gas grill on the back deck offers the option of grilling out followed by time around the outdoor fire pit making s’mores for dessert.
Simply pack your belongings, food, drinks, beach towels, and personal items and you will be completely prepared for your summer get away. This is the perfect place to unwind and enjoy your beach vacation for the budget minded renter!

Linens and towels are provided. The home offers air conditioning throughout, as well as central heat. Cable television and wireless internet are also provided. The house is outfitted with a dvd player, dvd's, books, games, and puzzles for your evening down time.

Minimum age limit for renters is 25 years of age and that person is responsible for the entire group during the stay. The maximum number of adult guests may not exceed the maximum occupancy number (or sleep number) of the cottage.

The cottage is really cute and comfortable. It’s a short walk to the grocery store and coffee shop which makes it super convenient. It’s set back from the main road so it’s private and surrounded by trees. We loved it so much that we will be going back next month.

A charming spot, immaculately maintained, everything you need. I was with grown children who do not drive, and it was great to be within walking distance of both the beach and shops. The managers were easy to reach and check-in/out was a breeze. They were generous with their time and the schedule. A delight.

Great location

Loved the location. Just steps away from the local coffee shop/bakery, grocery store and gelato place yet tucked away for privacy. Liked that I could walk to the store for supplies and a newspaper. The lake front view and beach is an easy walk down the street. Centrally located for easy access to the surroundings communities. Very much enjoyed our stay!
