Perfect for a cozy getaway

The location was perfect for everything we wanted to do. The screened in porch was a great place to enjoy the evenings without insects and the entire place was well maintained. The remodel and upgraded appliances really gave a modern feel to the rustic knotty pine paneling. We’ll definitely stay again in the future.

Cute house great location

Loved this area and home. Beautiful, clean little beach within walking distance but with no bathroom, so we ended up driving most of the time. Can walk to the cute little town of Union Pier. Nice area and neighbors. Home had almost everything we needed, was very clean and cozy.

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.

Just fine

We traveled w 2 toddlers. Everything is kinda grungy, but it worked out just fine. Loved the neighbors and it’s a 10-15 min walk to the beach and walking distance to delicious food.

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.

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.
