Charming 7 Bedroom Home + Coach House, Great for Summer Getaways!

The stay was wonderful. The house is just blocks from the beach and comes with everything you need. Enough beach chairs for all of us, towels, linens, etc. We really had nothing to worry about. Built fires at night to roast marshmallows, bbq’d dinners, and explored all Union Pier/New Buffalo has to offer during the day

We've rented this house for a week the past five summers. It's just great for our group of 12 (which now includes 5 teenagers). A short walk to a beautiful private association beach (which is key, because you can do post-sunset beach fires, walk dogs, enjoy adult beverages, etc.) as well as to the corner Union Pier shops (bakery, grocery, beach-gear rentals, etc.) Five -minute drive to New Buffalo, and just a bit more to Sawyer (for Greenbush Brewery) and Three Oaks (for Journeyman Distillery). The highlight of the house is the big screened-porch with a huge table - we spent hours out there every night. The owners, and their local handyman, are very responsive and attentive. We live only 45 minutes away, but the weeks at Union Pier are like going 1,000 miles from home. Lake Michigan is the best!

Another great week was enjoyed by our 15 member family. Joanne's home was again the perfect setting with the hot tub, porch, and the coach house being just right for the week. Everything with the home was 100%, the beach area was great, and local amenities, like the weekend Farmer's Market, are good for all ages. We look forward to returning in 2019.

One of the obstacles of VRBO is the the uncertainty of renting a place you’ve never been to before. Will it have all of the right amenities? Will it be clean? Well equipped? This is the perfect place!! It has everything you need for both adults and kids: comfortable beds, large indoor/outdoor seating areas, hot tub, sports/beach gear, basketball court, volleyball net, boards games, beach towels, with nearby wine tasting and friendly townspeople. There’s a private beach easily accessible via a short walk.

The house is a beautiful buttercup yellow surrounded by green trees. The first step inside and it immediately feels like home. The rooms are colorful and well decorated. There’s a lovely living room to play board games near the dinning room. The fully-equipped kitchen (no need to bring anything) overlooks the backyard and terrace, which has a screened-in outdoor dinning area with ceiling fan and table that seated 14 of us.

The back patio has as fire pit that serves as a campfire (plenty of chairs) and is a great space to make smores and tell campfire stories as the sun sets. We were pleasantly surprised to find firewood and sticks to roast marshmallows already there.

The grocery store is only 1.5 miles away in Union Pier and 3 miles away in New Buffalo is Barney’s which has a great selection of wines.

This house was a perfect fit for our reunion with enough room for everyone and a great homelike feel, very cozy and comfortable and everything was clean and well-equipped. Joanne is a hostess with the mostess!

Fantastic home for a large family within walking distance to a beautiful beach.
