About this property

Cedar Hollow Cottage: 4 Bed/2 Bath with HOT TUB and steps to beach!

Cedar Hollow Cottage is nestled among tall pine trees steps from the beach in Union Pier. This home has an open floor plan, with a great room comprised of living room with gas fireplace, dining room and kitchen with breakfast bar. Two large comfortable couches for naps or movie nights.

The kitchen is equipped for cooking. The dining table seats 10. You can easily add another table if you need more space. There are four bar stools at the breakfast bar.

French doors lead to a sunny three season room that can be used for extra entertaining space, additional sleeping space (blow up mattress or couches) or play space for the kids.

The master bedroom (king) connects to a master bath with walk-in shower and jacuzzi tub. Another large bedroom is toward the front of the home (king) as well. The middle bedroom on the main floor has a queen bed.

Upstairs, there is a loft area (twin bed) and the fourth bedroom (queen) with a pull out trundle bed. The loft area is ideal for a little get-away for adults or children. Great for reading or watching a movie from the library on the small TV.

Please see the floor plans in the photo section to understand the layout!

If you're looking to be outdoors, enjoy a family sized hot tub on the patio off the back deck. This is a great place to grill and eat al fresco- or relax on the huge outdoor sectional couch. The home has an outdoor picnic table and smaller glass table for outdoor dining. If you're looking for a little warmth, you can use the fire pit! If you're looking to escape the buggy nights, you can stay on the front porch- which is screened in (and has a dining table and additional outdoor seating).

Miller beach is a 3 minute walk along Lakeshore and the entrance is more even (not as steep) as the usual Michigan beach stair. Miller beach is a great place to spend the day or watch a sunset in the evening.

The garage is not available for guest use.

Nearby, there are 6 public beaches including Warren Dunes State Park, Silver Beach in St. Joseph (fantastic carousel for kids and adults) and Cherry Beach. Many biking trails. Wine tasting on the wine trail for those who want to sample and drive through the lovely countryside. Several golf clubs close-by. Shopping, antique hunting, breweries, distilleries, casino, great restaurants and art galleries are all within a short car ride.

In addition to rates listed, holiday weeks/weekends have special rates. Inquire for more details.

Cute house for a getaway!

Overall we were enamored with the cottage that we rented for our girls weekend. The location was great, we went back and forth between New Buffalo and St. Joe's for shopping, walking and eating. The house was quirky and very aesthetically pleasing. We were not s thrilled with a bathrooms, the shower in the guest area had mold spots on the shower curtain and when you switched it from the tub faucet to shower head, the amount of water still coming out of the tub faucet was wild. The master bathroom shower floor felt a little questionable due to the black grout where you would stand. We decided against using that shower altogether. The hot tub is under quite a few pines and not terribly close to the house, so we ended up not using it, even though we had hoped to. Other than that, we had ample room for us to sprawl out and enjoy our time.

Feels like home

Host clearly takes pride in her home and welcomes her guests to share it. Very well-supplied for cooking and entertaining, great spaces for communal activities and for having some quiet time. Very attractively decorated, not too fussy, clean and comfortable. Very convenient location. Probably our nicest VRBO experience.

Fabulous, Well-appointed Cottage

This place was perfect for our girls weekend. Close to wineries and restaurants. The owner was so easy to communicate and offered helpful tips for during our stay. The hot tub was an added bonus on a chilly night. Can’t wait to book again.

Perfect stay!

Our stay was perfect from start to finish. Jennifer gave us loads of helpful information and was very communicative. The house was beautiful and very clean. It was stocked with absolutely everything we could need and more. The yard was nice and the hot tub was perfect. There was even a pile of kindling in the fire pit which made starting a fire a breeze! Steps to a beautiful beach and the town is super cute. Thanks for a wonderful time!!

Great Place For Lake Michigan and Notre Dame Football

Four 60+ age high school buddies stayed at this delightful property in October 2024 while attending a Notre Dame football game. The place was perfect in size, comfort, and location. We walked to the beach to catch a couple of beautiful sunsets and had a short 40-minute drive to the Stadium on Saturday. In between, we got in 2 rounds of golf at courses within a short distance. The house has everything you need: the kitchen is very well stocked, the 4 BR's are spacious, the two living / family rooms are also large and comfortable; the hot tub is fabulous and the fire pit is perfect for star-gazing. Union Pier and New Buffalo are cool beach towns with great eateries and drinkeries coming online at a rapid rate. Jennifer was a wonderful hostess and she communicated all the particulars simply. Would definitely come back to this house if in the area again.

Location! Location! Location!

Just returned from a girls weekend celebrating a college friends 65th birthday. We wanted a house close to the beach- and we got it. A three minute walk had us there. The home has beach chairs, umbrella and a wagon in addition!! The house had lots of room, was very clean and had an everything we needed in the kitchen. Remember this is an older cottage- it’s not brand new by far-but it’s very comfortable!! But we would stay again!

Girls Weekend

What a wonderful stay we had at Cedar Hollow Cottage! Everything was just as described in the listing. The house lent itself perfectly for our girls weekend, from the decor to its amenities, tucked away in a quaint little beach town. We enjoyed our morning walking to the local bakehouse and coffee shop, spent our afternoon at a few different wineries in Baroda (roughly 25 min away) and spent our evening watching the sunset on the beach which was STEPS away from the house. Jennifer was responsive and helpful giving tons of local recommendations and resources. We would stay here again!

Great Family Place - We Love it!

I think this was our 4 year at this location and it fits our family perfectly. This is focused family time, going to the beach, cooking together, playing games and building puzzles. Simply a great warm house with everything that you may need and the location is absolutely relaxing.

Our family has stayed at Cedar Grove Cottage for four years now. We come back because CGC accommodates our party well and is close to the beach. There is plenty of room for us all, and makes it easy for us to cook when we want, while good restaurants and markets are not far away.

Lovely get away

Excellent home for a friends get away for a 50th birthday gathering. The place was perfect for cozy winter nights with the hot tub and fireplace. The home has everything you need to cook anything, keep entertained and stay relaxed. It was nice to be so close to the lake for a winter wonderland walk, and noticed that had it been summer .....every beach amenity you could possibly need is available to guests. Thank you for a lovely getaway house.

Great location & amenities

Loved my stay! The house was comfy & cozy with lots of space to sleep, eat & hang out. There were several outdoor areas to enjoy — cute screened porch, covered open patio with grill & well-furnished backyard, including the hot tub (really clean!). I got lucky and had a few days of warm fall weather… the beach was just steps away from the house and all the beach gear needed was there. The kitchen has everything you need if you like to cook. The neighborhood was peaceful with several dining options and shops nearby in walking distance. I had a few questions during my stay and Jennifer was a responsive and gracious host.

Return stay

We have been coming to Union Pier for many many years and have found Jennifer's cottage to be the perfect one for our growing family now! It has everything you could possibly need, so less to bring from home.We have actually bought a book and a game we discovered there that we and the kids really enjoyed. The location is great for our days on the beach and our walks to dinner! My only complaint is the week went by way too fast! Hope to be back!
