Union Pier, Michigan
Come explore Elephant Walk, a dog-friendly compound, walkable to beach and town, designed to make memories for your group. It provides multiple gathering spots both outside and in while ensuring ample privacy at the same time. Our Main House offers giant living spaces to accommodate the whole group and provides 4 very large bedrooms and 3 baths. On the same grounds, there are 5 smaller cottages that offer full kitchens/bathrooms/living spaces and house 1-2 bedrooms each. If you would like to rent the Main House as well as 1+ cottages, please see our VRBO links to the other cottages or message me to check on availability. Host your retreat, wedding party, or reunion here for an unforgettable experience!
We allow large group bookings only (Main House + at least 2 cottages) until late Fall of each year at which point we'll open up the calendar for anyone to reserve the house and cottages separately and allow for instant booking. Please message us for details, and we will respond within 24 hours.
Much work has been done to this compound since we bought it in Jan 2019. Stay tuned to this as we will update pictures as changes are made as well as provide more updates we'll make over the coming years.
**Everyone must review the rental agreement which is comprehensive: lists the terms of the rental agreement, the dog waiver (if you are bringing a dog), provides suggested packing items, lists the hot tub rules (for Main House only).
**Please designate upon checking out if you are bringing a dog so you can have the pet fee added onto your final total.
**Note that Cottage 1 shares a wall with the far hallway corner of the Main House but as of 2022, we've added insulation and other measures to ensure noise transfer is drastically minimized. Cottage 1 and 2 used to have an interior door that locked but it was the source of noise transfer so in Spring of 2022, we closed up that door and added insulation in the units to minimize noise transfer. Cottages 4 and 5 share no walls as they stand alone on the property. All cottages have a pull out couch, and the Main House has 2 pull out couches, one in each king bedroom. Cottages 3 and 5 have small, private, fenced-in yards.
**From Memorial Day to Labor Day we require 3 night minimum stay, but a 7 night stay (Fri-Fri) is required in the heart of the summer, from June through beginning of August unless the week is already broken up.
**Well behaved dogs are welcome. Pets are required to be on leash outside of fenced yard, and you are required to pick up after them or fee will be assessed.
**Note our suggested packing items we provide right before your arrival. Starter paper towels, toilet paper, and garbage bags are provided but you'll have to bring your own after the starters. We don't do this because we're cheap or insensitive. We do this because we are not often in the area to run these kinds of things over, and we also like for guests to be respectful of the environment which we've noticed happens more often when guests bring their own disposable supplies. Thank you for your understanding!
Thank you for visiting, we hope you choose Elephant Walk for your next group get-away! Email us with any questions, and we'll answer any questions within 24 hours.

Very nice clean property
Wry nice place with great location. Owner could not have been more helpful and checked on our stay.
The Elephant Walk is a wonderful relaxing place! Cottage 3 worked well for us and our Sheepadoodle, the side yard was perfect for relaxing in the evening and allowing Aspen to join us! Will definitely stay again!
Very nice and clean cottage. We enjoyed our stay.
Nice and clean! Great location! Fenced area wonderful for our sweet older dog. We would stay there again!
A great place to stay and well located to the beach and area attractions. Highly recommend this place!
We needed a place to stay close to 3 Oaks, that allowed dogs. This place was just right! Clean, cozy and a yard big enough to throw the ball for our lab. We would stay here again. The Roadhouse next door had amazing food as well!
Short walk to beach. Relaxing atmosphere.
Great place for a couples getaway. Easy access to the beach, food, and nature.. we’ll definitely be back
Nice clean small cottage. Bed and the couch were not very comfortable at all. They squeaked every time you moved. After three nights of attempting to sleep we just left because it was that uncomfortable. Which is a bummer because we lost out on all that money renting the place for a week.
We really enjoyed this cottage. The location is nice and close to the beach. Cottage is well appointed and comfortable. Grounds are nice and we enjoyed the firepit. No laundry is a bummer, so I would definitely recommend bringing extra towels or them providing extra. It was quite humid and there is no vent in the bathroom so they never dried out. Other than that we loved it and will stay again.
Elephant Walk is an amazing property, with everything we needed for our visit. A close walk to the beach, restaurant, and mini store. Our host was amazing, and everything was so smooth. We will definitely be back!!
Bruno the Chihuahua and I had a really great time in #3. It is the perfect getaway. The bed was super comfy and everything was clean and tidy. I loved walking around the area and had a great time hiking and exploring. Hosts were awesome.
