The cottage was beautiful and had everything we needed, from a fully stocked kitchen to a fire pit with wood. I was a little worried about size, but even with 8 adults, we never felt crowded or out of room. Lots of privacy in the yard and at the private beach. Highly recommend!

It was a great Thanksgiving weekend except for the fact that we couldn’t get any football games on the tv. We had to go to a local bar/ restaurant to be able to watch our games.

This home was perfect for our family. We enjoyed lots of time on the lovely beach. The house was set up nicely and had everything we needed. The management was quick to resolve a minor issue.

The 4 of us had a wonderful stay at the cottage in Union Pier. The beach was close and wonderful. We rode bikes and played golf. The kitchen could use an upgrade, but overall the cottage was great!

Our family of 4 had the best time! The house is spacious inside and out. Lots of room for sleeping, relaxing, playing, etc. The hammock was a my favorite - it looks up into the most spectacular trees. Gorgeous! Fire pit and yard was great for the kids. There are so many little nooks, decks, sitting areas to enjoy! And the yard is very shady and fenced! Kitchen had everything we needed. (Grill was great but note that only half it works.) Beds were comfortable. Loved the short walk to Whistle Stop Cafe. Access to the beach was close. We have a 3 and a 4 year old, but with the help of a wagon, we were able to easily tote the kids and all our stuff to the beach. Note - the steps access to the beach only gets you about halfway down. Then you have a short but steep decline of sand to walk. This was easy on the way down with little ones, but not easy on the way back up. Anyone with mobility issues or super little ones would have a difficult time. There are other points of entry onto the beach, however. You would just need to walk down the street a little further. Other things to note that might be important to some - internet is not strong. My husband had to work a couple days on our stay and the internet was a little challenging. Also, there were wet towels left in the washer by the previous people/cleaners. Glad we caught it after just a couple days. Otherwise that would have gotten smelly. Overall, this place worked great for our family. We always felt safe, cozy, relaxed, and happy :)

The cottage was very updated and clean. The private beach access was just down the street. We were happy to see that they were stairs going down all the way to the bottom of the beach. We just had to walk a little bit further down the street. That was a lifesaver. The private beach was so quiet and nice and clean. We never even made it over to the public beach. We were able to rent a paddleboard and bring it to the private beach. The cottage was so clean and cute. We would definitely stay again. We love Union pier and how they have added a few more restaurants since a few years ago. It is nice to go into new Buffalo which is just a five minute drive but even nicer to have a couple of local grocery stores and restaurants walking distance

Nice small house near the beach with all the items you will need to have a great time. Beach chairs and umbrellas were great to have handy when we went to the lake. Great communication from the property manager as well.

We had a great stay at Nan's Cottage! The location can't be beat - 1 short block from the private beach access, and right around the corner from the Whistle Stop Cafe. The cottage is charming and well-taken care of: plenty of space for gathering around a game, bedrooms were comfy, the outdoor fire pit was delightful on a cool evening, and the outdoor space was lovely for morning coffee, grilling and dining. The beach chairs and towels were much appreciated for visits to the lake! We would love to visit again!

Very cozy and clean! Nice and roomy with great amenities. Very enjoyable except that the front door lock did not work . We could not get in or out of the front door , which made packing up and leaving a little tricky on the icy back door steps.

We stayed for a weekend in October for weekend that included a Notre Dame football game (45 minute drive from Union Pier). Place was clean and well-kept and is consistent with the listing description. There are three good-sized bedrooms (one with 2 bunk beds) and two nice bathrooms. Kitchen was appropriately stocked. Lots of towels for beach use. Nice outdoor dining space and fire pit (which we didn't use). Checkout time was a bit early (10) - made it feel rushed on Sunday morning. 11:00 check out would be more reasonable. Didn't receive check in instructions until check-in day (Friday) - when I reached out to the property manager.

The location is wonderful, beach is steps from the front door. Nice quiet neighborhood too. House itself is not that nice but certainly adequate. Very tight for 6 adults.

Lovely, charming home with spaces for everything - Comfortable seating in the TV/fireplace living area which is larger than it appears in the picture. The kitchen is well-appointed, beds are comfy, and multiple outdoor gathering areas provide lots of opportunities to gather and enjoy the Michigan fresh air. Plus, the location allows for an easy walk to beach access (a bit of a challenging climb back up for some of us, but I believe there is another public access point down Lakeshore with an easier incline). A short walk the other direction brings you to the Whistle Stop - a small market/deli with a cool vibe (and delicious scones :). Heather was immediately available with any info we needed. My friends and I would definitely stay again!

Nice family retreat with good beach access and convienient walk to dining. Comes with lots of beach towels, chairs, beach umbrellas and kid-friendly beach toys..the floating boards were a big hit! Nice gazebo, but not bug proof. Could have use some emergengy night time lighting during a strong storm, but power was restored within a day.

The house was lovely and walking distance to the beach. House was very clean and well equipped. Unfortunately, There was a power outage for 24 hrs while we were there, but the property manager did an amazing job keeping us informed. Only comment I have is the listing said there was a king in the master and it is a queen.

Our experience was good. The beach is close. Please note there are two ways to get down to the beach. The one with stairs all the way down is better.

Our group of eight, which included children. parents, and grandparents, had a fabulous time at Nan's Escape. The house was the perfect size for us and had everything we needed. We've stayed at quite a few vacation rentals and this one was one of the nicest we've seen. Great beds, bedding, showers (ample hot water), appliances worked great, plenty of dishware and cooking utensils. We took full advantage of all the outdoor space, deck, yard, and gazebo. The neighborhood beach we had access to was a quick walk down the block. It was very clean and we spent a lot of fun hours down in the sand. The outdoor shower got used a lot and it was nice that it had hot water too. Heather was a great communicator and responded quickly if I texted her. Overall a great experience and would consider staying again if we are ever in that neck of the woods in the future.

This was a great little getaway for our family of 6. There's a large private beach only about four houses away! The same distance in the other direction brought us to a cute little coffee shop (The Whistle Stop Cafe) and nice restaurant (Red Arrow Roadhouse) with a full bar and family room. The food was great at the restaurant and it is awesome to get a little coffee or house made kombucha within such close walking distance from the cottage. The furnishings in this quintessential beach cottage were comfortable and updated. The kids loved the cute bunk room, as well as the fenced in yard, hammock and gazebo. During warmer weather the gazebo would be a nice place for card games in the evening, or to read a book. There's even an outdoor shower (which is probably great during summer time) - we'll definitely be coming back! The location can't be beat!

The property was perfect, amazing location, 1 block to beach and the other direction to an adorable market. Perfect amount of space to accommodate the family and friends in our party!
