Lake Escape is a cozy cottage located in Union Pier, Michigan. It's just a short 1 1/2 blocks from Berrien Street Beach and beautiful Lake Michigan -- close enough so that you'll never miss a sunset! Take advantage of the nearby Whistle Stop Cafe and Red Arrow Roadhouse. And it's just a short drive to many other local favorites!

You'll enjoy all the comforts of home with three bedrooms (2 queen and twin bunk) and one bathroom (walk-in shower), washer and dryer, fully stocked kitchen, dishwasher, Internet and cable (including MLB extra innings).

The cottage is a great stay for families with a large backyard area (shared with our co-op neighbors), a fire pit, gas grill and outdoor dining space. Take a soak in the private outdoor hot tub (open year-round!) and enjoy the stars to cap off a day at the beach or your time in Harbor Country. Make memories that will last a lifetime at Lake Escape...the beach is calling!

    Nice clean cottage right down the road from a public beach access. Charming beach decor and owner provided everything a guest would need for their stay. Walking distance to good food and coffee shop. Would definitely stay again!

    This was year 5 for our girl's weekend in this beautiful home that offers you anything you could need and still make you feel at home. All the extra touches that Tammy and Steve offer excels above other homes that we've rented and we couldn't be happier to continue coming to this wonderful area because we are located perfectly to get to anything. This includes a very short walk to a beautiful beach, with all your Beach needs ready there waiting for you. We hated to leave, but already know that we will be back for year 6!!

    The Lake Escape was one of our best short term rental stays! The owners were really kind and thoughtful, and they really thought of everything when it came to the property, including providing supplies for the beach, fire, and kitchen. Everything was comfortable, clean, and welcoming. Thanks so much to Tammy and Steve for a great visit!

    This place was absolutely perfect for our family of 5. Truly appreciated the kid friendly games, all the beach toys/equipment, books to read, amenities, everything! So many small details thought of and accounted for. Restaurant right in the backyard, which was great when we had a 50 minute wait :) My husband and I can be nitpicky and we truly had next to nothing to be improved upon with our stay here - everything was so cozy and perfect. Kids are aged 4-8 and the walk to the beach was incredibly simply and easy. They LOVED the waterproof Uno! The ONLY issue with our trip was that we didn't book it for longer :) Thank you so very much!

    We had a wonderful time staying at this property! It’s beautiful, clean, and has everything you need! The owner was so kind and set up the pack and play for my daughter. The hot tub was great perk as well! It’s centrally located, with nice outdoor space too! We can’t wait to come back next year.

    My cousins and i stayed here for our annual girls weekend and i was better than we expected. The photos don't quite do this place justice. We were pleasantly surprised with the size of the house. It had everything we needed including pool/beach towels, robes for the hottub, washer/dryer etc. We got lucky with a warm weekend in march and were able to enjoy our drinks on the patio/deck. We also took full advantage of the hottub which was very private despite there being many houses & a restaurant basically all in the backyard. There is a large shared yard between all the cottages which could support all sorts of yard games. I liked it so much I booked it for my family (husband 2yo 4yo) for 3 nights this summer. The walk to the public beach was also surprisingly short - lets see how i feel about it with kids but I truly can't wait to come back! Thanks for hosting us!

    Everything at this rental way amazing. Clean upon arrival, perfect location, and a cozy vibe made this location a perfect choice. The host had the pack and play set up for our youngest ahead of time, which was super helpful. If we are ever back in this location we will return to this spot!

    Such a refeshing stay after a very busy summer and early fall. Even with all the activity around, the place was quiet. The area was nice for walks and we enjoyed the strolls along the beach as the sun sets. My wife told me on the last night that she was going to really miss the sunsets followed by time in the hot tub. It was a great trip and we really enjoyed being able to relax, recuperate, and reconnect. Thank you! Hope to be back soon.

    We had an amazing time at this property. So very clean!! The host has truly thought of everything to ensure guests are comfortable and well-cared for. From a small Bluetooth speaker to makeup wipes, and even plenty of towels and robes, no detail was overlooked. The kitchen was fully equipped, making our stay incredibly convenient. The home is just steps from the beach and thoughtfully provided insect repellent and sunscreen. Additionally, it's perfectly located next to the Roadhouse for late-night sliders and a coffee shop for morning brews. The hot tub was well-maintained and a fantastic way to unwind. We will definitely return to this wonderful getaway.

    This is our second time staying at this property which I think speaks for itself! There’s just enough space for kids to play inside and a spacious yard outside. The best aspect though is the proximity to the beach!
