    This was a great place and so clean. We had everything we needed. The floor plan was perfect as we had a second living room and two bedrooms located on the opposite side of the master suite and living room. Great for a separate play area for the kids. Washer and dryer was a nice touch. We will definitely stay here again.

    Group of four women on a long weekend trip.We enjoyed our stay, the Kessler Cottage was very cozy. It had everything we needed, but we don’t need much. Good location, very quiet and private setting. The beds are firm. We come to this area twice a year, but like to stay in different places each time. We would definitely stay here again though, we just prefer variety

    The property was spotless, spacious, and thoughtfully equipped for a comfortable stay. We especially appreciated the cozy areas for watching the game and long conversations, plus the private outdoor space where we enjoyed morning coffee and evening stargazing by the fire. The location was ideal—close to local shops and restaurants. Our host was communicative and welcoming. We left feeling refreshed and reconnected.

    Exceeded our expectations! Our family of 6 (four kids 5 years old and under) could not have asked for better accommodations for our weekend getaway. Communication with the property manager Beata was great! (She even took it upon herself to message us one day to clarify how to use the thermostat since it was going to a cold evening). This house had everything we needed and then some (condiments in the fridge, detergent for the washing machine, shower products, etc.) We didn't utilize the games or the outdoor space, but it was nice to know it was an option. Kids were comfortable, adults were comfortable, and we would recommend this property to anyone looking for a great stay in Union Pier.

    We had a great weekend in Union Pier for Memorial Day weekend! The house was perfect for 7 people and was in a great location. The bonfire pit was set up for us to use, there were extra beach towels for us, and beach chairs if we wanted to use them. The only thing I would point out is that the beds were a bit uncomfortable and there was hair in the shower that hadn’t been cleaned up. But overall, I would highly recommend staying here for a group getaway weekend!

    Cool place that was perfect for my family’s stay. Lots of room. Close to attractions but tucked away for a nice, peaceful stay and some pretty nature. Some added attention to detail in cleaning and carpentry finishes would go a long way and take this from 3 to closer to 5 stars.

    We enjoyed the comfort of the property, the setting was beautiful too. The heat was complicated. One bedroom was sweltering and the room with the twin beds was freezing. . The master.b.r. was just fine. Although there were instructions in the laundry room, we couldn't get any heat at all in the twin bedded room.

    This place was perfect for us. We spent 3 nights here and took in an ND game on Saturday. The reviews didn't disappoint as all 3 couples were very happy with the home. We played cards at night and hung out on the back deck and yard during the day. House was everything it was advertised to be.
