We had an amazing weekend in Union Pier at the Uncorked Cottage. The home is immaculate and spacious. It was perfect for my wife and the two adult singles that were with us. The home is well stocked with every kind of pot and pan. They have even provided a very nice selection of spices. The location is perfect - just five minutes from a very private beach. It was great for watching sunsets. We enjoyed sipping coffee on the screened in porch in the morning and enjoyed the fire pit at night. We can't wait to come back!

This was our 4th stay at Uncorked Cottage! I can’t say enough about Shelia & John’s place! It is just perfect. They have thought of everything to make this such a comfortable home and supply everything you need. It’s our happy place for sure and we will be back!

Excellent house! Very nice area with a restaurant, brewery, donut shop, and gelato within walking distance. And the walk to the beach is very easy. The beach never had more than 8-10 families on it and it was amazing. Would definitely go there again! Sheila was a great host and quick to answer any questions.

We had a wonderful stay at this VRBO! The location was excellent, with a short and easy walk to the beach, which we enjoyed even in the chilly weather. The home itself was very well-equipped with everything we needed, and the amenities made our stay comfortable and convenient. The owner was responsive and helpful, and the check-in process was smooth and hassle-free. It’s also ideally situated with a relatively easy drive from Notre Dame, which was a great bonus for us. We would absolutely stay here again—especially in the summer to fully enjoy everything the area has to offer!

A wonderful, quiet, clean and full equipped cottage just 1 1/2 hours away from Chicago. We love that it is clean, fully equipped and very spacious for our family of 4. The house can sleep 8 ppl comfortably, though. Sheila, the owner, is easy to reach and quick to respond to your questions. The home/cottage is a 5 minute walk to McKinley Beach as well as a cute bakery/coffee shop, ice cream shop and restaurant.

Our family gives this rental 5 stars all around. The extra touches provided here are simply the best—nice beach chairs, towels, comfy beds, an amazing kitchen… we could go on, but you get the idea. Owners were super responsive and answered all of our questions. Great location with just a short walk to the beach. We have vacationed in this area for several years. Will definitely be looking to stay here again.

Amazing stay

I can't say how much we enjoyed our trip. I was very impressed at how well stocked the place was. The proximity to the beach was an added bonus, we were able to go a couple times despite it being September. It's also a great location, near restaurant, hiking and nearby towns such as New Buffalo and Threw Oaks.

Cozy, Clean, and Charming

We loved our stay here! It was stocked with tons of books, games, kitchen equipment, beach stuff…nothing was overlooked. It was clean, so comfortable and cozy, and the screened-in front porch was our favorite area. We are already talking about returning next year.
