BATHROOMS: 2
*Within walking distance of private access Lake Michigan beach!
*Pet friendly
A peaceful beach getaway is right around the corner-- just down the street from the sandy shores of Lake Michigan! The fact that this home is pet friendly is a true bonus for this area! While close to a poplular road, the deck backs up to a forested back yard. This immediately brings out a feeling of getting away from the hustle and bustle of city life. Lakeside Summer Cottage is more vintage than modern, yet has a great flow for that simple Union Pier family gathering, near the beach. The kitchen is the hub which provides has ample space to prepare your meals, plus eat around the table together. The kitchen table doubles as the host for family game night.
This older, manufactured home is all on one level. It has a classic appeal. The master bedroom, with a queen bed, has an en suite bathroom with a large, deep tub and separate shower. The other two (2) bedrooms have a queen bed, and two (2) beds, respectfully. The additional full bathroom can be easily shared by the two (2) bedrooms.
We look forward to your visit to Union Pier where privacy, ease and your furry family member are welcome!

Summary: A few friends rented here to visit friends in the area. We received very clear instructions on how to enter (needing to flip the breaker for the water heater almost took us by surprise). The yard is gorgeous, and the property feels secluded in spite of being close to Red Arrow. The home is a bit eccentric - it’s prefab on cinderblocks, with a mix of antique furnishings and more contemporary, functional pieces. That can be seen in the listing, but you may not notice quirks like carpet in the primary bath. We noticed that there were plenty of dishes and serving platters. Overall, it feels functional and cozy. I had my dog with me (much appreciated) and the large kennel in the primary bedroom was convenient. The cleanliness of the home in general was great, but my dog could tell that past dogs had peed on the rug in a couple of places. I’ve never seen him try to mark territory in a new place, but he tried that almost immediately here. I cleaned the places he was interested in and he was fine. Some degree of that is out of your control when your place is open to pets, so I totally get that, but it might be time for a deep clean on those carpets. I also suggest better lighting in the main room. Brighter, warmer overhead lighting on a dimmer would make a big difference toward coziness.

Summary: My friends and I were a bit disappointed. My first impression of the property is that it could use a lot of updating. It does not have great curb appeal. The inside was very clean but outdated. The location is great and near the beach which is beautiful. We also had some issues with the hot water. The property manager was very responsive to my concerns and did what he could to help our stay.

Summary: PROs: Walking distance to the beach is amazing, plenty of space inside, it was pretty clean.and they allow furry friends. CONs: This is a double wide, its right next to a state hwy with plenty of road and rail noise, & the price is 20% + over what it probably should be. We enjoyed our stay but there should be better options in the Union Pier area!

Summary: This place had plenty of room for us (myself, husband, parents & 2 kids). It was very well stocked & the beach was amazing. Helpful info: once you turn off red arrow highway & onto golf road the house is immediately to your left, light brown house with about 4 parking blocks. To get to the beach take the same road you turned on. It splits into 2 different paths but both lead to the paved road that you need to cross to get to the beach. If you take the path to the left, turn right once you get to the paved road. If you take the path to the right turn left once you get to the paved road Enjoy!!
