Union Pier · Lake Michigan, 2 min walk
A modern vintage cottage, steps from the water.
3 bedrooms, hot tub, private sauna, and a huge fenced backyard — book direct with the people who actually own it.
Make yourself at home!
Just a short walk down the street from the McKinley beach entrance, this modern vintage cottage sleeps six across two queen beds and a king. New bathrooms, a new washer/dryer, and a rebuilt rear deck sit alongside the parts of the cottage that made us fall for it in the first place — the eat-in kitchen, the fire pit, the outdoor barrel sauna and hot tub tucked into a huge fenced-in backyard.
Up to five cars can park right out front. Most guests end up walking or biking everywhere — coffee, ice cream, the farmers market, and one of the best beaches in Southwest Michigan, which keeps a private feel despite being open to the public. Dogs are welcome; cats are not.
A working list of what's in and around the cottage — the same details we'd want to know before booking somewhere ourselves.
