    We loved staying at this house. Location was awesome (3 minute stroll to the beach). Our kids loved the pool table in the basement and we spent time in the hot tub every night. The pool was closed for the season but the kids still swam in Lake Michigan in early October (thanks global warming). Overall the house was perfect for our needs. Not too modern and fancy in a good way.

    A small group of friends age 60 stayed here for a long weekend while attending a Notre Dame football game. The house is perfect for reunions like that or for a family getaway.The rooms are large, clean, and comfortable (2 refrigerators in the kitchen!). The pool and hot tub (also very clean) are a bonus considering you can walk to the beach on Lake Michigan, which we did. Union Pier and nearby New Buffalo are cool towns.I would definitely stay here again whenever in the area.

    House layout was ideal with the master having access to back yard. Great location and neighborhood with close proximity to everything. Beautiful coast line minutes away.Yard is ideal for pets. Would definitely recommend.

    We had a really lovely stay at this property! It is very spacious and exceptionally clean. The beds are super comfortable and the master bath has a wonderful, very modern shower. We loved how that room opens up to the deck and pool area. The pool is huge and clean, and we used it daily. We also enjoyed the hot tub and having meals on the deck. The grill worked perfectly and was spotless. The short walk the beautiful McKinley was another major highlight.Additionally, the owner was friendly and helpful, and he supplied us with bags of ice which was very kind and unexpected.We have been coming to the area for decades and this has to be our favorite property so far, for all the amenities and conveniences. There were only three of us this trip, but we hope to be back with more of our family next time. There is plenty of room!

    Amazing location walking distance to McKinley and Townline beaches. Backyard pool and hot tub have us other options for cooler/breezier days. The decor is quite dated but property is clean with great spaces!!

    We enjoyed our stay very much- house is as described- pool was A plus with kids and adults, and we were a 5 minute walk to two different lovely public beaches on the lake. Easy walk to the store and bakery. Beds in grown up rooms firm and linens fresh (bunk room was comfy for the younger ones). Kitchen suitable. Big living and dining room. Nice table on deck, gas grill an Aplus - cleanest I’ve ever seen a rental grill. Cooked all meals on it. Two small quibbles: Wi-Fi and internet were limited- not sure why, but more than 2 people on it at once slowed it to a crawl. Also, the trash piled up, due to an apparent schedule issue with the collector- it was disappointing to have the trash bins in front of the house all week. Owner was great at communicating and I know was trying to solve. We had a good time overall and would return.

    Our family had a great time in Michigan. This was our first time staying in Union Pier so we were unfamiliar with the area before arriving. We were in extremely easy walking distance to 3 public beaches, the closest right down the street. Our baby who is still “iffy” on lakes loved to be in the pool. We were able to walk to breakfast every morning with a handful of options. The house was roomy with all the necessities, had TVs in every bedroom and the grill was used every night. We were very happy with our stay, as the location was absolutely amazing and so was the pool.
