Temerature control was lacking

We enjoyed the comfort of the property, the setting was beautiful too. The heat was complicated. One bedroom was sweltering and the room with the twin beds was freezing. . The master.b.r. was just fine. Although there were instructions in the laundry room, we couldn't get any heat at all in the twin bedded room.

Cozy lovely home in the woods

The house was lovely, had much space, and was super clean. We enjoyed long walks in town after a fresh snowfall, the bakery, and restaurants in town. We would definitely rent this home again!

Everything was pretty good overall. My only complaints would be that one of the kitchen chairs didn't have the seat attached and I nearly hurt myself, and the one ply toilet paper!!!!

great time in Union Pier

This place was perfect for us. We spent 3 nights here and took in an ND game on Saturday. The reviews didn't disappoint as all 3 couples were very happy with the home. We played cards at night and hung out on the back deck and yard during the day. House was everything it was advertised to be.

This “little” house is huge!

This house is so cute when you pull up and the front porch is set up so welcoming. It looks like a tiny house, but it is so deceiving, the inside is huge! There is a great entryway leading right into the large eat-in kitchen to unpack your groceries. There are two huge family rooms with plenty of places to sit and lounge. I loved all the movies and games provided, even though we never got a chance to use any of it because we were enjoying the fire pit both beautiful evenings of our stay! There are marshmallow roasting sticks provided! The 3 bedrooms are great sizes with a variety of beds. The master bedroom and bathroom are very spacious. My favorite touch was the pumpkin spice coffee! Thank you! Everything was clean and bright. There are so many extras, the host thought of everything! Beach chairs, umbrella and beach towels are available even though we had brought all our own, it’s a great touch! The host responded promptly and courteously to all my questions! I would definitely recommend this house!

The property is farther from the beach than expected, but it was easy to get to the beach. The property was great and the house was probably the cleanest we stayed at with lots of amenities for our stay!

Great location and amenities

We went to the dunes all 3 days we were in town and had a great time. The house was really nice and had everything we needed for a great trip. Would be a *very* long walk to the beach :) but still a very convenient drive and we didn't have any issues with parking during the week.

Great Cousin Reunion

Lovely home perfectly suited for our cousin reunion. Plenty of room, quiet neighborhood and at the edge of the woods. Deer, raccoons and butterflies visited. Close to great restaurants and Warren Dunes State Park for a beautiful Lake Michigan sunset. Bonus of Bridgman Aquatic Center not far for morning pool workout.
