Host profile image
After renting in Union Pier with our family for over 20 years, we have finally found our dream cottage. We love the short drive from Chicago and always look forward to getting away from it all to Three Gems Cottage. The beaches in Union Pier are stunning. This is an incredibly relaxing and refreshing retreat. We cherish our time here and we know you will as well.

Why they chose this property

This property has been a dream come true for us. Our cottage is quiet, clean, cozy, (yet spacious) warm and welcoming. We can cross the street and walk one short block to Lake Michigan's shoreline. We love taking leisurely walks through the neighborhood, and the town of Union Pier is a nice easy walking distance from Three Gems Cottage.

What makes this property unique

Home sweet home and so close to the beach. Relaxing evenings abound.. whether sitting by the fire pit in the back yard, gathering with friends and family at the huge dining room table...barbecuing, or just relaxing in the spacious screened back porch, we cherish every moment here. Life is good at "Three Gems Cottage".
