The best place we have stayed at in Union Pier!

This place was just as advertised, impeccably clean and super convenient to the beach and areas in town. We LOVED our stay - the quiet street, kind and friendly neighbors that live there regularly and the cottage had everything we needed to feel at home. We would 100% recommend and will likely be back next year!

The other side of the Lake

We were so pleased to be able to stay in this adorable and cozy cottage that had everything we needed so that we could be near beaches and plenty of nature. We had fun spotting deer and turkeys in the yard. The kitchen was stocked to cook a meal and we really enjoyed being able to grill. The clean and roomy hot tub was another great perk. Thank you for sharing your property!

Perfect Beach Weekend

We really enjoyed our stay! The location in Union Pier is great for walking to a delicious bakery in the mornings and with a slightly longer walk you are directly at the beach. We spent a lot of time in the lovely yard, which has everything you need for eating outside, playing yard games, and making a nice fire in the evening. Highly recommend!

As lovely as advertised

This place was exactly as advertised. The pics are accurate as is the description. The location is on a quiet street which was nice. The tres made it seem very private. Most importantly it was extremely clean. I have severe allergies and it's rare for me to stay somewhere new and not have at least a mild reaction, but here I had none. Would definitely recommend this property and rental company.

Great location--horrible bed

Pros: the location, the wonderful hot tub, the beautiful big yard with fire pit. Cons: the bed downstairs dipped in the middle several inches and was topped with a foam topper that helped nothing. So old and soft. Pls get a good bed for your guests. We had horrible nights sleep each night. And that makes for very crappy getaway. The house had nothing. We have stayed in many rentals in Michigan that are well appointed, like the place just next door to the north of this house, which was booked :(. This house is clean, but not cozy. In living rm exposed base board heating looked terrible--made the place look really dumpy. Just remove it or cover it. Also, house not well appointed. This house had nothing. No olive oil, no spices, no shampoo, no conditioner, no soap to shower. A majority of places provide that and have something in the kitchen. We have stayed in two other places during the pandemic that had plenty of stuff in the cabinets, even coffee! Most places have dispensers affixed to the shower wall with the shower basics. The ad didn't mention the need to bring your own shampoo or soap to shower. The t.v. was old and had poor visual. It seems that rental homes managed by the owners are well appointed, well kept and decorated vs the ones where the owners are hands off, dont ever come to stay, and have a co. doing it. We could overlook all of the cons, but not the bed. We won't be renting this place again for that reason. When we go away for a break we need to sleep comfortably. That's #1 part of a nice getaway.

Amazing getaway close to Chicago

Super clean and friendly space. Our family enjoyed the large yard, fires, and hot tub. Easy walk to coffee shop in town, walkable to town beach. Loved the proximity to Warren Dunes via a short drive. Loved watching dear and wild turkey wander through the yard. We are very cautious about cleanliness these days due to covid, this place was spotless!

Some Improvements & Updates Would Go a Long Way in This House!

Stayed here for a long weekend with four friends. Overall the house worked for our needs but we did have some things we wish had been improved. Clean bathrooms, nice showers, good water pressure. Beds were comfy, linens could use replacing. Kitchen was well worn, almost all utensils, equipment and cookware needs replacing. The living room did not feel clean to us at all - the couch, chairs and tables were all dusty and dirty and in need of replacing. The heat was hard to balance - we were cold downstairs and hot upstairs. The fireplace would have helped make it cozy but we had a hard time keeping it from getting smoky in the house. We think the flu could be cleaned to improve this. We did not find the train to be noticeable at all - and when we did hear, it was not annoying. Neighborhood was almost silent, especially for five Chicagoans ha. Some quick and easy updates that would make a huge difference would be to add some pillows and throws in the living room (there wasn't one in the whole house!) for lounging, add a motion light outside near the hot tub to make getting in and out safer and add some additional hooks in all the bedrooms and bathrooms for hanging clothes, towels, suits, etc. We counted 44 empty drawers in the house but little to no easy storage such as hooks for the six people staying in the house. Overall would maybe stay again if some improvements and updates were made and house got a deep clean.

We were very pleased with the cleanliness and accommodations of the house. No one mentions the train tracks directly behind the house that have a pretty robust schedule but it was entertaining for our 8 year old son. Loved the hot tub and all the yard and indoor games to play. Thanks to the hosts!

Fall Break Getaway to Southwest Michigan

We absolute enjoyed our stay at the Claddagh Cottage in Union Pier. In fact, the moment we arrived, there were a family of deer to greet us in the neighbor's front yard. The house was beautifully remodeled, tastefully decorated and had all the amenities we needed including a fire pit, hot tub and grill. The location was convenient and just a short walk or bike ride to the corner market, bakery or beach. We were close to attractions in New Buffalo, Union Pier, Sawyer and more. The property management team provided a handy binder with helpful information on things to do and where to eat in the area - very helpful. From our comfortable location, we made quick trips to Warren Dunes, Twin Maples Orchard, Greenbush Brewery, New Buffalo Beach, the Swedish Bakery, and much more. Kudos to the cleaning team too as the Cottage was very clean and orderly. A great stay and a place we would consider returning to next year. Thanks.

Cute and Comfortable

We were a group of four friends visiting from Chicago over Labor Day. We found the house charming, well appointed and comfortable. The beds were very comfortable (as was the couch for an afternoon nap), and we found the kitchen well-stocked with the items we needed to cook several meals for ourselves. One note - The house is in a wooded area, so as would be expected, there are some creepy-crawlies both outside and inside the house, so if you are an arachnophobe, bring bug spray! Check-in and check-out were a breeze, thanks to a lockbox on the door. I missed an email that went into my junk folder the day of check-in so called the office and the person I spoke with was friendly and helpful. I'd definitely recommend this property to others.
