Picture yourself in the heart of Lake Michigan, staying in this charming four-bedroom cottage. This home is just minutes from the beach and quaint Union Pier shops and restaurants, and is located in the popular Lakeshore Cottage community. There is a private association heated pool, plus a rec room that ensures fun is just a short walk away. It is a great place to swim, sunbathe, and enjoy the Michigan summer! Lakeshore Cottage has an open floorplan with vaulted ceilings and skylights. The comfy living area is situated around a beautiful fireplace with a TV. The kitchen, fully-equipped with all the amenities you need, opens up into the dining area. You’ll find a beautiful wood table with seating for up to eight guests. The main bedroom features a king-size bed and shares a bathroom with the second bedroom that features twin bunk beds. The third bedroom on the ground floor has a queen bed and shared attached bath with a walk-in shower.
The fourth bedroom is a loft over the garage, accessed by a separate stairway in the garage. It can function as a bedroom or as an additional recreation space complete with WiFi and a cable TV. It is furnished with two twin beds and a double futon that is a perfect hangout for older children. In the garage, you'll find a Ping-Pong table and beach toys. The front porch is ideal for relaxing and the screened back porch is the perfect place for a little outdoor dining on warm summer evenings. Step outside to grill up some burgers on the grill or some s'mores over the firepit. A half-mile walk through a quiet neighborhood will take you to the Union Pier beach at Townline Road. In this home, you’ll find it easy to sit back, relax, and enjoy all that Michigan has to offer!
Please note that if you are booking the home between the months of September through May, we ask that you please verify with the agent that the association pool will be accessible. The pool is set to be open from Memorial day weekend through Columbus Day weekend.

Very nice home. Communication with owner was great. No problems whatsoever. Outdoor heated pool at the club house was awesome.
Great location and we’ll managed rental process.
Loved the house. Well appointed and comfortable. Space for family to spread out. Great area for long walks or sipping adult beverages on the front or screened in porches. The pool was convenient.
The home was very warm and welcoming, quite comfortable for accommodating my three adult kids, and three grandchildren. We greatly enjoyed the large screened in porch for games at night. My two primary school granddaughters loved the large bedroom over the garage, and the ping-pong table in the garage made for wonderful entertainment. The home was wonderfully stocked, I’ve never seen so many beach toys at a rental house, and we appreciated all the extra beach towels. The community pool was almost always wide open, and we enjoyed using that daily, sometimes before, and sometimes after afternoons at the beach. All in all really are beautiful home, thoughtfully designed, well-maintained for a family get together.
Great neighborhood, clean house, well appointed, comfortable, and pretty. Enjoy!
The house is lovely, clean and more than enough room for family. The kitchen can use a little more cooking utensil. If you want to bake in the oven there is no pans provided for this, but plenty of frying pans. I fortunately did bring one oven pan of my own. I did not have a great experience with talking to the rep for the company VACASA. The person I spoke with was reading from a script , was not well informed, and had difficulty with English language. We did manage to get to the information I needed and all in all it was a lovely stay.
I've seen other comments on the cleanliness of this house, so I will start this review by saying someone must have listened because the house was clean (thankfully). However, I have seen others mention about noises in the house and those have NOT been resolved. There is a humming sound throughout the house and we could not determine where it was coming from. You can only hear it inside the house because we checked outside thinking it was coming from another house in the neighborhood; it was that loud! It is highly disturbing and is much worse on the first floor, especially the kitchen, family room, and master bedroom. There is also a loud, popping sound in the master bedroom that does not stop! EVER! We barely slept the three nights we were there because the humming and popping were so loud. Lastly, I don't mind starting a dishwasher before I leave. However, I have NEVER had a place ask me to strip beds and start a load of towels in the laundry. If this is standard VACASA policy, I will not stay in another place hosted by this company.
The home is in a great little neighborhood, very convenient to everything. We had 7 in our group and one more bathroom or half bath would have been very helpful.
We rented several homes in Lakeshore Cottages for my daughters wedding and this one was for the bride and groom so only the two of them stayed there with their dog. It was very lovely, clean and stocked with everything we needed. The day of the wedding all of the bridesmaids had their hair and makeup done at this home so plenty of room for that. We felt bad that we had to have extra cars in the neighborhood for this but the neighbors were quick to let us know where the extra parking was located. This was only for a couple of hours and the rest of the time we kept it very quiet and subdued to not interrupt the other residents. Very lovely neighborhood and residents.
We enjoyed our experience at this house. It is very nice and big! We really liked the screened in back porch, and enjoyed having spacious rooms. Backyard feels private even though it is surrounded by other homes. Neighborhood is not far from downtown Union Pier and a short drive to New Buffalo. While the house is newer, it could use a few extra touches to make it great! A coat of paint on the walls would go a long way, with lots of dings, scratches, and cracks in the walls. Property has beach chairs and a beach umbrella in the garage, but no beach towels, so plan on bringing your own. We LOVE that the property was dog friendly so our dog could join us, but keep in mind that there is no grass around the home if that is an issue for your dog doing their business. One of the rooms with twin beds and futon is over the garage, and only accessible through the garage, with no immediate access to bathroom, for your planning. We really did enjoy the home and would stay again
This home is worth the money! Great amenities provided. We made use of the toys, the smart TV, the extra blankets in the closets, the towels, and much more. We planned to use the pack-n-play and when we couldn’t locate it, the area manager delivered us one within a couple hours. Some of our favorites were the screened-in deck area, the fire pit, the grill, the upstairs jacuzzi bathtub, and of course the pool. Most times we went to the pool it was just us, or we were sharing it with 1-2 other families. It is kept at a perfect temperature too. :) There is plenty of space to spread out and nap, and also plenty of room to gather the whole family together. We would absolutely book again! Thanks for the wonderful accommodations!
We stayed during the week and loved the quiet neighborhood and proximity to the beach. The cottage itself was clean, well stocked, and had all that we needed. Will definitely come back!
