Lake Michigan Charmer

Only a few blocks from the shore of Lake Michigan, this lovely home can be the perfect getaway for you and your family or group. In the summer, enjoy boating, fishing, paddleboarding, and water skiing, while enjoying ice fishing and ice skating in the winter! Tour the area to discover local eateries, arts, entertainment, and an array of attractions.

Upon entry, you'll be met with a bright interior and a warm feeling of welcome throughout the space. Settle onto the furniture and carry on a great conversation or watch a movie on the large TV in the living area. Enjoy preparing grand meals and lake picnic snacks in the updated kitchen, equipped with a breakfast bar and all the cupboard room you'll ever need. Sip your morning coffee on the covered porch as you enjoy listening to the birds waking up, and the sun coming up through the trees. With three beds and a futon, there's more than enough room for everyone to get a comfortable night's rest from the day's activities. Make memories of playing outdoor games in the yard, or roasting marshmallows around the firepit as the stars come out to dot the sky.

Clean house and great neighborhood. We were told the beaches were dog friendly and they are not. That was quite disappointing as we had brought our pup with us and that’s why we booked in this area. Great neighborhood and restaurants within walking.

Beautiful area with a great hometown feel. The furniture could use some updating, but the house was clean. I absolutely loved the screened in porch. Vacasa was extremely helpful and helped with the few issues we had. I would return.

This is a nice place at a good price but bring your extras if you have to have them. The kitchen situation is minimal. If you dine out more no problem. We made a crockpot dinner one night( brought from home)and found two pans for making sides. There is a very nice skillet for breakfast but one big and one small perfect for one fried egg. 2 Small coffee cups. A set of dishes for 6. Silverware and cooking utensils are there. You’re not making Thanksgiving here but you’ll get by with making dinner. Lots of reviews mention a smell. When we first got there the air conditioning units were off. And a musty smell lingered. We think it’s because the units continuous run. Once we got them going there was no smell. They keep the house more than comfortable. They have fans. The place is clean. The furniture is old but the beds are comfy. Plenty of towels. Parking is close to the street and planter’s block you from driving up closer to the porch for unloading due to the septic system being here. But the walk isn’t bad. The porch was great, the neighborhood too, close to beaches and restaurants. Union Pier Social became a new favorite. We ride e-bikes and there is so much to explore from this location. Dog friendly! We have an old man and he loved it. The back door is just a step down for him and at the end of the street is a path with encouragement to walk though to a perfect loop for a potty walk. We will rent again. 2 adults one dog.

Great cottage

Very clean, great amenities and home base for the area. Wish the walk to the beach was a little shorter but it's as advertised, about 11 minute walk. Screened porch was terrific.

Unhappy Vacation

My husband and our dog were very excited for our getaway to Union Pier. It started when we arrived. There s NOT a fenced yard! Had a difficult time getting into the house. There were other things also and after 1 evening we decided to pack our things and head back home.

Worth the cost

You get what you pay for…and we didn’t pay much. The home was very basic. We spent most of our time on the screened in porch and around the fire and both were excellent. The kitchen was really lacking in some usable basics like sharp knives and serving/mixing bowls. There was an awful smell in the bunk room that never went away. We were instructed to strip the bed and boy I wish we hadn’t. The pillows were so disgusting. So, maybe bring your own and come prepared to spend most of your time outside. Easy walk to all things in Union Pier.

Comfy, clean, and close to the beach

The pictures are very accurate, including the oversized yard that is big enough to put a volleyball net and court. The screened in porch is a nice place for breakfast or an afternoon of reading. An earlier review noted issues with the mattress in the primary bathroom. The owners must have replaced it as the mattress was very firm. The kitchen was a little lacking in pots if you plan to cook.
