300 paces-1/2 Block to McKinley Beach, Fire Pit, Screened Gazebo, Outdoor Shower

We had the best time here! Will definitely be back!

May 25-28, 2026 We stayed a wonderful 4 days in the beautifully decorated and well appointed cottage. The grounds are beautiful, and we had everything we could possibly need. We loved the quiet, shady neighborhood, and the short half a block walk to the most beautiful beach around. We had the beach mostly to ourselves, and enjoyed a morning walk along the shore, swimming in the calm clear water, and gorgeous sunsets every evening. Rosemary and Mike are such lovely hosts, and made sure we knew where everything was when we checked in. We loved it!Barbara and Jim and Gavin

This property was flawless and the hosts were absolutely delightful. The location was perfect for exploring the beach, Union Pier and New Buffalo. A perfect getaway for a long weekend. We only wish we could have stayed longer!

Very clean and amazing location. We will definitely be back!!

We loved every minute at Rosemary and Michael’s enchanting cottage! Everything was perfect for a restful retreat from our hectic schedule. Rosemary was without a doubt, the most gracious host we’ve had pleasure of booking with. A short walk to a beautiful sandy beach ,gorgeous arbors and trees, cobblestone paths… like a fairytale, just awesome! Wish we could have spent more time relaxing and enjoying the scenery. Beds were sooo comfortable too! Definitely recommend.

The property was delightful and well appointed. We appreciated that the owners sent information about the area and places to go. The walk down to the beach wasn't far and the steps down to the beach were easy enough. Lovely beach!!Michael and Linda Callahan

The cottage was very clean, pretty, and in excellent condition. Loved the landscaping around the cottage and the walkway down to the water—it was so inviting… and such a beautiful beach. I loved it here! The host, Rosemary, was very responsive and spent time orienting and showing us all the different features.

Rosemary met us at the house to show us around and tell us where everything was located. The house was exceptionally clean and just the right size for our group of four.

The property was exactly as listed. Very nice property!! Cozy, beautiful, charming. Beds were super comfortable. This place has everything including a beautiful setting and a screened gazebo area on the deck. No many nice touches to list!I absolutely recommend!

We always enjoy this quiet corner of McKinley. The cottage is very clean and stocked with what we need. We’ll be back!

Great property and wonderful owner, we enjoyed a perfect stay, look forward to returning to this property.

We had a wonderful Michigan stay. Rosemary, the owner, met us when we arrived and gave us all of the information about the property! We took advantage of almost all of the amenities, including the outdoor shower. The beach access is only a few steps down the road, and the stairway down was not bad at all. The only problem is that we all wish that we could have stayed longer!

Beautiful and peaceful location. Cottage was clean and stocked well. Owner very friendly and helpful!

Absolutely idyllic! Clean as can be with every need that you can have, anticipated by these wonderful hosts. We will be back again and again!

This property was close to the beach and great for walking to other areas of Union Pier. The house was neat and clean and the kitchen offered updated appliances with a handy ice maker. It was perfect for our family of two adult couples and a 4 year old. A bonus is the deck with an outside shower. I would recommend this property!

We love this place and come back each summer to enjoy the beach and the beautiful natural setting around the cottage. Mike and Rosemary are always very nice, communicative and helpful. The gas grill and outdoor screened in dining area are great for eating outdoors without getting attacked by bugs. Their AC is awesome and the house always stays cool inside, even on really hot days. The outdoor shower is great for rinsing off after a day at the beach so you don't bring sand in the house. Union Pier is a charming little beach town and New Buffalo is just down the road if you are looking for more restaurants and things to do. Highly recommend!

We stayed here for a week with our two young children (almost 5 and a 2 year old) and we had a great time! The location to the beach is perfect and the space worked very well for us. Rosemary and Mike were super responsive whenever we had any questions or concerns. Would stay here again!

We absolutely loved our stay and will definitely be back! Rosemary is such a kind, thoughtful, and caring host. The cottage is so well-appointed. Location is amazing. Proximity to gorgeous beach (just steps away!) and short drive to Indiana Dunes Natl Park. Communication with hosts was terrific. Loved the outdoor shower, beach equipment, and screened porch.

We had a wonderful weekend! The cottage was fantastic and had everything we needed to make it a great weekend. Next time we are definitely going to stay for longer! Thanks to our gracious hosts Rosemary and Michael for sharing their lovely cottage.

This was the most perfect place for my annual beach trip with my daughter and grandson! The cottage is immaculate and is so cozy and comfortable! Top of the line and has everything you need! Nice walk to the beach! I loved all the nature, listening to birds while sipping on coffee on the deck! Outdoor turn so comfy! The outdoor shower was amazing to clean off sandy feet! Mike and Rosemary are the perfect host! Will return again!

This is probably one of the most well equipped properties we have stayed at. The property is cute and cozy with great proximity to the quaint downtown and access to the tiny public beach. Rosemary met us at check in to give us a very thorough tour and the keys. Rosemary is so very sweet and left nothing in question about our stay. Would stay again and recommend to others!

We love our time at Lake Michigan each year and this place makes our stay perfect.
