Hot Tub, Deck & Backyard: Cozy Union Pier House!

Beautiful home and can’t beat the location…walking distance to beach and just around corner from grocery,dining, beach rental. Family friendly environment and would stay there again

We’ve returned to this property 4 years now every October. It’s like our home away from home. Great location and cozy. Hot tub is always a favorite.

This Union Pier rental was a great spot for an October long weekend for my family of 2 adults, 2 teens, and our dog. The setup of the house provides opportunity for both togetherness and private space with two bedrooms, a full bath and a living room/TV space on each floor. The setup could also work really well and comfortably for two families sharing space with young kids, or even 4 couples. The back deck, fire pit and hot tub are nicely maintained and relatively private - while not fully fenced in, there's lots of vegetation on two sides and a fence on the third. The house was very clean upon arrival and didn't even have that someone else's house smell you notice at rentals sometimes :) The teens enjoyed the arcade-style videogame and fussball table in the basement. Wifi was reliable and the satellite TV options were good. The location can't be beat, as it is only a few houses from Black Currant Bakehouse, and within a block of a few shops and restaurants (sandwiches from Milda's were yummy!), Union Pier Social, and Neon Moon Gelato. The Townline Beach is about 1/2 a mile walk away and very pretty. New Buffalo and other Harbor Country towns are also available a 15 min car ride away. We enjoyed shopping for used and new books at Flourish on Red Arrow Highway between UP and NB. Overall, very relaxing setting that felt both comfortable and laidback. We really enjoyed the stay and hope to be back soon!

The host was super accommodating and there were plenty of towels including beach towels and other supplies.The game room was a nice bonus!

We got family together for a long weekend and the house was perfect for us. You are right near a bakery, small grocery and some restaurants. The walk to the beach was 10- 15 min. Our weather was cold so the hot tub was wonderful and we used the fire pit nightly. Communication was easy, friendly and accommodating! Would definitely return!

Great stay. Easy walk to beach. Close to town. Had activities at the house to keep everyone entertained.

Great location, 6 minute walk (10 w/ kids) to beach access, close to bakery, restaurant and ice cream parlor. Hot tub was nice, deck was nice. Plenty of room for my family of 6 inside. Would stay again.

Beautiful, clean, well stocked house accurately described. Managers were easy to work with and responded quickly. Comfortable beds and fluffy towels. We loved our long weekend trip with family. Cute basket in bathrooms with toothbrushes, earplugs, Sleep masks, shampoo, etc.

So clean and beds, linens and blankets were great. Kitchen had so many extras that were unexpected (based on the other rentals we’ve had over the years. The kids loved the little games, books and arcade game. The outdoor setting was peaceful and pretty with a grill, fire pit, swing and hot tub. We couldn’t have enjoyed it more. There is a beach entrance with minimal parking at the end of the main road (0.6 miles) so would recommend a wagon or stroller if you have little ones. The adults can walk it easily but it was hard for the littles. We got a parking spot every day but once.

Love this location, everything we needed was steps away. All the extras that come with the house! Beach towels, beach chairs , toys , firepit , HOT TUB we enjoyed so much! Literally 6 minute walk to beach. Stores, restaurants around the corner.

My family really enjoyed staying at this house. It was clean and roomy. We spent time in the backyard sitting around the fire, hanging out in the hot tub, and cooking dinner on the grill. We liked the fact that we could walk to a small grocery store, a bakery/breakfast shop, and an ice cream place that had the most delicious gelato! We also enjoyed walking to the beach. We will definitely stay here again!

The house was perfect with extras like beach chairs and toys that I didn’t expect. Enjoyed the back deck too. Will consider this place again in the future.

The property was nicer than expected and had extras we were able to enjoy (firewood and beach chairs and toys). Beds were comfortable and the host Keli was exceptionally responsive. We appreciate the opportunity to stay here and feel blessed

House was very comfotable, clean. Only minor disappointment was that yard was not fully fenced to enclose the dog. Also since yard wasn't fenced orher dogs left their waste in the yard.

The place is nice but there are several issues that we encountered on a short 2 night trip. 1. MY FRIEND GOT A HOT TUB INDUCED RASH 24 hours after. That friend went to the doctor and the doctor said that it is folliculitus and is usually gotten from a hot tub that has not been upkept properly. 2. Contacted the guest contact several days before the trip asking about the place, including if we needed to bring propane tank for grill. No response until after the first night. 3. No extra bed sheets anywhere. We had 9 people, which you can’t assume that there will be 2 to a bed, but the place fits 14 people and people had to sleep without sheets. Could have been discussed before trip but never got a response from guest contact. 4. PROPANE tank. Again never received response about this trip. There was about 5 min of propane left in tank. Finally was able to call host. We wanted to use the spare propane tank but it had a lock and the host said they would need over an hour to figure out the code. Host said we would be compensated if we bought our own but at that point we already had food on the grill. We moved it to the oven but to say I was disappointed was an understatement because we chose this place because it had a grill. Very disappointed.

Place was perfect for our family of 9 adults and 2 kids age 4. Perfect location with all amenities needed for our annual Family weekend vacation at the beach. Very nice area. Really nice having the market and bakery a block away. Would definitely recommend and would stay here again. Hot tub was awesome too.

The property manager was quick with communication and the check in/out process was super easy. The property was clean and exactly as pictured. Couldn't recommend this place more!

The house was very clean, only a short walk to the beach . We had 9 guest everyone slept well. Loved the basement area for my grands. The only thing i wished they had was a blow dryer and maybe a couole xtra blankets. We enjoyed the deck and hot tub in the evening hours.

Overall a nice stay in a pleasant home. The location is in close proximity to the Union Pier bakery, grocery, and walkable to Townline Beach. If you prefer more privacy look elsewhere. The deck and hot tub we enjoyed. The lower level is excellent for teens with an assortment of games and an old school arcade machine. The posting list a higher number for sleeping than we found comfortable. The dining space inside and out was nice for large groups. We found plenty of towels with available laundry downstairs a huge plus. Beach supplies are available too which is not included in the description. We would suggest adding kitchen towels as there are none available. It appears the home is not rented often which might explain the kitchen ant problem we encountered almost immediately. Periodic maintenance would take care of this. Upon entry the home appeared clean and tidy, however as soon as I wiped a spill off the floor the paper towel was black from the dirty floors. Given more attention before being rented will easily solve this as well. Thank you for a nice stay!
