Robin’s Nest was perfect for our group. We enjoyed the outdoor living space as much as the indoor space. The outdoor speaker system was a great addition! Close to a few restaurants and close to the beach access. If we didn’t want to leave, we didn’t have to since the property had everything we needed and was very private.

Our family of 3 enjoyed spending time on the screened in back porch, swing set and at the nearby beach! Kitchen had everything we needed, clean bathrooms and beds. Plenty of sitting areas to relax and unwind. We brought our bikes for quick trips to/from the beach. Groceries, shopping and hiking close by. All are feeling relaxed after our stay. Just what we needed!

This house was comfortable and clean. The distance to the beach was a little longer than we would have normally liked for walking, but no big deal. The good thing was that the nearest beach access didn't have stairs, made it a lot easier when carrying beach gear. The communication with the owner was also great at all times, very clear check in/check out instructions, all questions answered promptly. Overall, would definitely recommend this place!

This place was exactly as promised and more. Filled with generous touches. Play area for kids. Kitchen well stocked w good cookware and serving trays. Beautiful screened in porch where we spent so much time - eating, talking, playing games. Close to highway - which we knew - so heard street traffic but it never disrupted anyone. Our two families had a wonderful week!!

So many great things to say about this property. Great location.....walking distance to Union Pier and Barrien County beaches on Lake Michigan. Roomy house with open concept kitchen, dining, and family room. The screened in porch was a bonus area and quite lovely. Deck areas in front and in back of the house as well as a fenced in yard that was convenient for our dogs. Everything was CLEAN and organized and roomy.

Robin's nest was perfect for our stay in Union Pier. There were 2 fabulous playgrounds for the kids and plenty of resting and conversation places inside and outside. We felt very connected with each other, but also able to have alone time as needed. The kitchen has everything you need for an awesome dinner.

There is a large front yard with outside furniture and a large playset. The backyard has a hot tub close to the house. There is a small swing set, a fire pit with lots of seating, and a nice hammock. The back porch has a large clean grill. The screened back porch is great for eating meals. There is a large table and chairs. The house is beautiful, clean, and well supplied.

Great experience in Union pier, good location, lovely property.

Robin was amazing to work with and her home is lovely and tranquil. We stayed over the holiday weekend and loved being able to grill right at home. The screened in porch was absolutely amazing, beautiful home, and very close to many beaches and New Buffalo shops/walking. I would most certainly book with Robin again 😊

Robin was a wonderful host! The home is equipped as described and we LOVED the hot tub, hammocks, and large back screened in porch (and the extra fridge there!). The kitchen is well-equipped re: appliances, dishes, etc as well as salt/pepper/olive oil. We had a wonderful long girls' weekend for a brithday and it worked out perfectly. We were prepared and didn't mind the 10ish minute walk to the beach or being on the main highway and close to the train, but one should be aware that the property is not right on the beach and the train comes through about 1-2 times overnight.

Robin responded promptly to my inquiries. I did think the photos were taken awhile ago as the property seems to have aged. I also should have paid better attention to the square footage as I thought, based on the pictures, the inside space was larger. The front screened porch worked well to store bikes, beach bags, sandy shoes and the screened back porch was also a great space to hang out. The dining table there was larger than the one inside so we used that as well. There was a big storm that came through while we were there and knocked out the power to Union Pier and New Buffalo for almost 24 hours. Robin did not have a flash light or candles. We had to go buy those. Those emergency items would be a good addition to the property. The grill heated up quickly and we used it quite a bit because we ate most meals in. A griddle would be a nice addition to the kitchen but otherwise we had everything we needed. The hot tub was also very clean and nice. The house however was not as clean as we would have hoped. One example was that the first time we went to use the oven, it started smoking. There was a spill on the bottom. I turned it off until I could clean it. When I contacted Robin she explained that her regular cleaning person had a personal situation and had to sub out the cleaning job so others may not have this same experience. The beds were all comfortable. However, I was mistaken in thinking 2 adults could sleep in the queen bunks. That was tight for our family and one person took turns sleeping on the couch. We are all taller, but not overweight. It is about a 3 block walk to the beach. Berrien beach is outstanding. Robin provides sand toys, floats, an umbrella and a wagon to pull it all, which is very nice. We very much enjoyed the Union Pier area and plan to return. We biked to New Buffalo daily, hiked Warren Dunes and hung out at the beach. For our meals out, we ate at Timothy's, The Stray Dog and Brewster's Italian Cafe. All were excellent. It is the perfect spot for a laidback family vacation. We had 7 adults and a 10 mo old.

The 6 of us and family dogs just spent a week at Robin’s Nest. We had a great time. The backyard, hammocks, and screened in back porch area were perfect for our family to gather and eat meals together. Robin was communicative and responsive. This would be a great house for a family with younger children!

We had a wonderful time staying at Robin’s home. It felt much more like a home than most rentals. Our kids loved it. There are 2 swing sets, a screened in porch, hot tub, toys, and nice layout. Close to everything. Robin was especially nice about offering us leftover food and accommodating our requests. There is some road and train noise since it’s right off a busy road and train tracks, but it didn’t bother us (we are used to city noise). Highly recommend esp for families.

Wonderful area, beautiful spacious home for family vacation. Grandchildren, Children, etc. So many spots to sit and enjoy. Had a great time

Due to rainy weather, we spent most of our time in Union Pier inside the house. Luckily, the house has a large outdoor screened in porch, Internet access, TV options, hot tub, and fully equipped kitchen that made the stay enjoyable. Other pros were the fully fenced backyard (great for my dog) with large deck and plenty of seating options. The proximity to the beach and New Buffalo was also great. Check-in was smooth and the owner made herself accessible. There were only a few downsides. The house sits on a main road which is only a issue if you have pets, small children or are sensitive to traffic noise. There’s also a train close by. It’s loud but pretty quick- my 2 year old niece loved it. Finally, check out at 10am felt more rushed than I’d prefer. There are a number of requests before check out (trash, laundry, dishes etc). Nothing unusual but needed to build that in to check out.

Comfortable house. Great yard and porch space. Responsive owner. Located on the local highway, but the only time we heard road noise was when sitting in the front yard and the yard is big and private enough that it was totally fine. We had no problem finding parking at the nearby beach and the beach was very nice.

Wow! This was such an amazing home! Everything was clean, the beds were comfortable, our kids had lots of fun on the play sets, the screened-in porch was awesome, and the home itself was super cozy. After a long day of playing on the beach, it was nice to come back to Robin's Nest and relax. Also, the owner, Robin, was super nice and flexible. She really made it feel like home.

We really enjoyed our stay in New Buffalo. The house was very comfortable for all ages. We had a 4 yr old, a teenager and 4 adults. We were there at the end of August and while it was too warm to use the hot tub, the screened in porch got a lot of use! The playground equipment in the front and back yards was essential for keeping our 4 yr old entertained. We cooked a lot and found everything we needed. Everything was a described and we only wished we could have stayed longer!

I rented the house for my family because we wanted lots of outdoor space to be able to host socially distanced family. It was great! And the beach is a3block walk-and one of the few beaches left in the area because the lake is so high. A lovely large screened porch, patio, hot tub, an extra refrigerator for drinks. Just a great place.

We had a great 3 night stay in June. The home is really cute. There were 4 of us and we had plenty of space. Kitchen was well stocked with pots/pans/etc and we cooked all of our meals at the house. Owner was great and was very prompt communicating with us. Nice green space in the front of the home and fenced in back yard. The hot tub and fire pit were great to have. There is an older play set in the back and an old small trampoline, don't foresee people using those with the really nice play set in the front. My husband worked during our stay so the highlight for him was the awesome screened in porch in the back of the house. The walk to the beach was spot on. 8-10 minutes and you are there! You do need to walk along the busy street for the equivalent of a very short block and then you are are on the less busy streets to get there. LOTS of beach toys so you shouldn't really need to pack any (buckets, squirt guns, rafts, inner tubes, etc). The beach itself was really nice and we had a great time! Awesome time actually! The only minor thing to point out was that we were not supposed to stay connected to wifi (as in you can get on but get off when you are done) and needed to download shows prior to arrival. It's not a deal breaker, and we were told prior to coming. Certainly didn't ruin our stay. Great home for a quick getaway.

Robin's Nest is a wonderful experience - such a cozy interior and outstanding outdoor space. Couldn't be better suited for a family. From games to the hot tub to the playground and outdoor space to the fire pit to the screen porch - it's just a great use of the space and so accommodating.

What a perfect quick getaway! This house has everything you need for s great time, plenty of linens, we’ll stocked kitchen and so much more for everyone in the family! Also the fenced in yard was perfect for a pet. Loved everything about the stay!

Overall we enjoyed this place a lot. It’s not fancy but we weren’t looking for that. The hot tub was great (and clean!), with nice size yards, small fire pit outside, great screened in back porch, and indoor fireplace. Couple small issues make this a 4 star. The grill didn’t really work (only 1 of 3 burners would go on), there were no fireplace tools that we could see, very few hangers in the closets, etc. So overall a nice place just missing a few little touches. Robin (owner) was very nice and responsive to emails. We would stay here again.

Communication was exceptional and refund on damage deposit was fast. We really appreciated being able to bring our dogs. It was very hot when we were there so the a/c and the box fans for the smaller rooms were needed. Lots to do for kids and wonderful outside spaces. We went to the beach and enjoyed that too. Highly recommended.

I recently stayed at Robin's Nest with some of my best friends from high school and college. We had an amazing time and the house was perfect. Beds were comfortable, all the necessities supplied, and we especially loved all of the private outdoor space and spent most of our time on the huge screened in porch. It was a short 8 minute or so walk to the beach where we also spent a lot of time during the day and watching sunsets at night. Robin was readily available and very responsive. Easy in and easy out. I would highly recommend this spot to anyone inquiring.

We had such a lovely time!! Robin's Nest was perfect for our family. The large screened in porch was great for games and congregating at night, the kids loved the hot tub, and the spacious living space in the house was perfect for our family. Everything was so bright, decorated so beautifully, updates throughout, we really loved it!! To be that close to the beach with that much space and privacy was awesome!

What a fabulous rental!! Everything was perfect. The interior space was cozy but roomy, decorated so bright and updates throughout. The huge screened porch was perfect for games and socializing, the kids loved the hot tub, and the yard was great for bocce and badminton. Truly was a perfect week staying at the perfect place. To be that close to the beach and stay in such a roomy and private place was just awesome. Other places close by are tight and close together. You really get the best of both worlds with Robin's Nest -- the space and the seclusion!! Best vacation ever...

We had a great stay here. The house is very clean, the kitchen is new and has everything you need. The location is also great with the beach just a minute away. We spent a lot of time on the screened in porch just relaxing. I highly recommend this property.

Very clean and beautifully updated (and fully stocked) house with so much great outdoor space and such an easy walk to the beach. Love the screened in porch and of course the hot tub. My kid loved the yard and the playground equipment. Really comfortable beds/linens too. Will definitely be back!

Three generations enjoyed our stay thoroughly. Something for everyone! The house is SO nice and much better condition than any rental I have stayed at before probably due to the fact this is a second home that is just rented when not used. Everyone loved the easy access to a private beach (with a wagon to pull all our stuff too!). Our kiddos loved the yard and swing/slide/climbing wall set. Grandparents loved sitting on the screened in porch. WE loved the hot tub and ability to rent bikes and paddleboards so close by. Proximity to Red Arrow Roadhouse for dinner and Nanis for amazing muffins and coffee was an added bonus. Thanks for a wonderful family reunion memory maker.

The Robin's Nest is tastefully and comfortably furnished with everything you need. I wasn't able to get the hotspot working for wifi (who needs wifi while vacation?) and was surprised at how loud Red Arrow Highway was out front, but the screened-in back porch cut the noise in half. Be aware of the 4-5 trains that go by across the street in the wee hours, too. Once we got used to them, they were sort of charming. The beds are super comfortable and the dining on the porch or at the long wooden kitchen table are both crowd-friendly. Fantastic beach access awaits you after a 3 block walk (one along the highway).

This is not your typical rental home. Everything is the caliber of a home I'd own as my own. The house was fully stocked and all the furniture was in excellent condition. Beds were comfortable and linens really nice. The outdoor space was beyond what we needed but the screened in porch with ceiling fan was so wonderful on hot evenings. The front porch overlooking the yard with the play area for kids was perfect. There is nothing I would change. Oh and the beaches of Lake Michigan are, of course, awe inspiring! We will be back to Union Pier and hope this home is available for us again next year!
