Excellent weekend away!!

My husband and I had an excellent weekend away at this adorable home tucked away in Union Pier! The owners could not have been better hosts. Incredibly attentive and answered our questions immediately! They gave us the sweetest welcome gift! Their home had everything you could possibly need. So incredibly cozy and the beds were very comfortable! We are absolutely planning to stay again! Thank you again for a wonderful weekend away :)

Wonderful Stay

Everything was super clean and the owners were very informative with things to do in the area as well as very responsive to any questions we had. For my first experience booking a little house, it went without any issues! I defiantly recommend this little cottage!

The perfect getaway!

The Pier Joy cottage was the perfect weekend getaway for my husband and I. The cottage was very clean, and had everything you would need as a home away from home! The owners were very responsive with any questions and even checked in on us to make sure we arrived safely during the recent snowstorm the town had gotten. Check in/out was also very easy. The cottage is just a short drive to many of the restaurants and other places to visit! Overall we can’t wait to visit Union Pier and stay here again!

Wedding in Three Oaks

My wife and I stayed at this property for an extended weekend while we were in SW Michigan for a wedding. This property was the perfect weekend get away for my wife and I and frankly think the house is even better than it showed in the pictures. The hosts were responsive, gracious, and helpful and we would recommend this location for anyone looking for a quiet get away in the SW Michigan area.
