Great cottage
Very clean, great amenities and home base for the area. Wish the walk to the beach was a little shorter but it's as advertised, about 11 minute walk. Screened porch was terrific.

Unhappy Vacation
My husband and our dog were very excited for our getaway to Union Pier. It started when we arrived. There s NOT a fenced yard! Had a difficult time getting into the house. There were other things also and after 1 evening we decided to pack our things and head back home.

Worth the cost
You get what you pay for…and we didn’t pay much. The home was very basic. We spent most of our time on the screened in porch and around the fire and both were excellent. The kitchen was really lacking in some usable basics like sharp knives and serving/mixing bowls.
There was an awful smell in the bunk room that never went away. We were instructed to strip the bed and boy I wish we hadn’t. The pillows were so disgusting. So, maybe bring your own and come prepared to spend most of your time outside. Easy walk to all things in Union Pier.

Comfy, clean, and close to the beach
The pictures are very accurate, including the oversized yard that is big enough to put a volleyball net and court. The screened in porch is a nice place for breakfast or an afternoon of reading.
An earlier review noted issues with the mattress in the primary bathroom. The owners must have replaced it as the mattress was very firm.
The kitchen was a little lacking in pots if you plan to cook.
