A Fantastic Place For Our Family Gathering!

This location was perfect for our family gathering. We did over sleep because the beds are so comfortable, but this allowed us to stay up late enjoying everyone's company in the great room. We will be back next year!

Great location, home was ok.

This home suited us fine, as we were not in it very often. The location and proximity to the beach were great and a nice perk to have private beach access. Also, the beds were very comfortable and the home was very spacious. However, would like to leave some feedback on the home for future guests. Though there are 3 bathrooms, there is only 1 shower which, for our group of 6, was inconvenient at times. There were also exactly 6 plates, 6 towels and a handful of coffee mugs so be prepared to hand wash dishes (no dishwasher) and do laundry. There also isn’t a garbage disposal. Low cleanliness rating was due to the fact that the home didn’t feel clean overall, overhead vent in master bath rained down bugs and dust when turned on, and the kitchen had visible previous food stains. One other positive- Host was communicative with quick replies.

Great location, spacious cottage

Loved it! We enjoyed the location, the short walk to the beach and the Black currant bakery. The cottage is spacious and nicely decorated, with lots of space for family time. The kitchen, bathrooms and bedrooms had everything we needed. The outdoor space was nice and it was helpful to use the little outdoor shower after the beach.

2nd year at this property

Great location. Short walk to a beautiful beach. House was nice. This was our second year back for girls trip. Was not able to get ahold of owner through this app. Only a phone call. Not a big deal but sent a few messages through app and no response.

Excellent Location

This is our second summer staying at this property. We enjoy the close proximity to the beach as well as New Buffalo. This year, we took advantage of the close walking distance to the stores in the small downtown area. As with last year, the home met our expectations. We enjoy the ability to take our family of three as well as grandparents to a home with ample space for all. We enjoy the large porch as well. Even with some rain, we are still able to be “outside” as much as possible. We look forward to another stay!

This is a beautiful property in a great location. We enjoyed our stay very much. An additional shower, preferably a walk-in would be a plus. Would definitely consider renting again in the future.

Girls Trip

We had a great stay! 5min walk to an amazing beach. House was wonderful, loved the open living room/kitchen. We also enjoyed playing games on the screened porch every night. Few things to be aware of…no dishwasher, only 1 shower (3 bathrooms) and could use more outside lighting but those are minor things. Great place!!

Summer Escape

Our family loved our stay in Union Pier. With close proximity to both New Buffalo and quaint shops/resturants in Union Pier, our family enjoyed every moment. This property is especially unique due to its proximity to Gordon Beach. Unlike New Buffalo, this is private beach. This home will comfortably fit a larger family. We made ample use out of the Great Room and large three season room. Since we were traveling with a toddler, we were able play "outside" without worrying about bugs. We appreciated all of the amenities of the home. The beach gear and the wagon made the two-block to the beach so convenient. The outdoor shower helped up eliminate sand before entering the house. Since we prepared at least two meals each day at the house, the kitchen was well-stocked with utensils. Communication with Dorothy, the property owner, was prompt as the thermostat gave us trouble upon arrival. We look forward to another stay!

Spacious and close to beach

We stayed for a long weekend with kids and enjoyed being able to walk to the beautiful private beach. It is also near restaurants and shops in Union Pier. The home is clean and very spacious and has a number of supplies for an easy stay. We needed our own beach towels, shampoo and laundry detergent but otherwise the place has the basics covered.

Peaceful

This spacious home in a quiet community close by to Lake Michigan Beaches. Large bedrooms and beautiful oversized screened porch. Master bedroom suite is so well designed but I was very disappointed that the jetted tub was not working. Our family enjoyed good meals in streamlined well equipped kitchen. No dishwasher but not a dealbreaker for us. Really enjoyed the spacious living/ great room.

About the host

Hosted by Dorothy L. Gaters

Live and work in Chicago; I found this area to be the perfect getaway. One hour drive from downtown made it quick and easy for me to get to my front door!

Why they chose this property

When I bought this property it was perfect for remodeling by being on a corner double lot. I added a second story, and enlarged and enclosed the porch. It was a great decision which added so much room included a very spacious great room.

What makes this property unique

Easy accessibility to the beach, park (across the road), only 100 feet away from asphalt for bike riders.
