Late-season getaway

Found this sweet spot on an impromptu decision to the lake. We love this area and being so close to the beach is the best. The house is the most well-appointed rental we’ve ever been in; the best part is the library and games are so well thought out, and my wife was immediately gratified to see everything organized by category and interest. We’ll absolutely stay again. Thank you!

Cozy, Clean, and Charming

We loved our stay here! It was stocked with tons of books, games, kitchen equipment, beach stuff…nothing was overlooked. It was clean, so comfortable and cozy, and the screened-in front porch was our favorite area. We are already talking about returning next year.

Relaxation in union pier

2nd time staying here. Sheila (host) is extremely responsive to questions and comments. Clean, lovely home that accommodated myself, spouse, adult daughter and son-in-law and their 3 kids. Large assortment of beach equipment (chairs, umbrellas, towels, wagon) and easy walk to a lovely beach. Kitchen well stocked with supplies and spices. Would have loved it if there was soap and shampoos as we did not bring any (so used to having the big squirt bottles supplied at hotels and other vrbo’s) but made do. We would rent again, no question!

Can’t say enough great things.

Uncorked was perfect. The quality of the home, the location, the comfort, the cleanliness, the amenities, and don’t forget the lighting - all were beyond expectations! We had a great stay and that included all of our time in Uncorked.

Wonderful, relaxing getaway

Everything about this property is amazing. Extremely clean & organized. They had games to play, books to read. The house had all of the amenities and household items we needed. The beach was a 5-minute walk and the local coffee shop was a 7-9 minute walk. Sheila was responsive and replied to my text questions very promptly. A great getaway spot! We would definitely come back.

Amazing stay

I can't say how much we enjoyed our trip. I was very impressed at how well stocked the place was. The proximity to the beach was an added bonus, we were able to go a couple times despite it being September. It's also a great location, near restaurant, hiking and nearby towns such as New Buffalo and Threw Oaks.

A Lovely Cottage in Union Pier

This cottage is a hidden jewel. Quality work was done on the interior and exterior. Great kitchen set-up and a variety of cookware. Also, a well-stocked library of books and games for all ages. The upstairs and downstairs Sonos speakers was a nice touch. Two-thumbs up.

Perfect Weekend Break!

What a lovely spot! The location is off the road slightly but perfectly located to walk to the lake, store or the Whistle Stop for breakfast. Beds were comfortable and we enjoyed starting slow over coffee discussing all the neat features of the cottage and how we want one just like it! The porch was so nice and kitchen table was an inviting spot to compete against one another at Yahtzee and cards. We will definitely look to stay at Uncorked Cottage again in the future!

Fall weekend getaway 🍁🍂

This is our 2nd time staying here and it was just as good as the first time. We didn’t have time to use it, but there is a fire pit now that I wish we would have been able to use, we’ll make sure for next time. House is clean, beds are super comfortable and very close to great places to eat. Cannot wait to stay there again. Shelia and John really make you feel comfortable too!
