About this property

Union Pier Hidden Gem | 3 Blocks to Beach | Screened Porch & Fire Pit

  • ESCAPE TO A SUN-DRENCHED CEDAR SANCTUARY IN UNION PIER.
    Discover the perfect Harbor Country hideaway at the Hidden Gem. This elegant 3-bedroom, 2-bath cedar-sided cottage is nestled on a quiet street just three blocks from the pristine shores of Lake Michigan. With vaulted ceilings and transom windows that flood the open floor plan with natural light, this home is designed for effortless coastal living.

    THE OUTDOOR LIFESTYLE
    - The "Gem" experience extends far beyond the front door.

    - The Screened-in Porch: Spend your mornings with coffee or your evenings with a book on the expansive screened-in back porch—accessible directly from the primary suite.

    - The Post-Beach Refresh: We’ve provided a beach wagon, chairs, and towels. When you return, rinse off the sand in the convenient outdoor shower.

    - Fire Pit Evenings: Gather the family around the fire pit to end your day under the Michigan stars.

    GOURMET LIVING & HIGH-SPEED CONNECTIVITY
    - Chef’s Kitchen: Featuring cherry cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and a large breakfast island with seating for eight—ideal for long brunch mornings.

    - Work & Stream: Equipped with Starlink High-Speed Internet, this cottage is perfect for multiple users, whether you're taking a seaside Zoom call or streaming your favorite movies on the smart TVs.

    - Primary Retreat: Relax in the king-sized primary suite, featuring a walk-in closet and an ensuite bath with a deep soaking tub and double sinks.

    THE LOCATION: WALK TO THE BEST OF UNION PIER
    Park your car and explore on foot. You are minutes away from:

    - The Beach: A scenic 3-block stroll to Lake Michigan.

    - Local Flavor: Walk to the famous Whistle Stop Deli and nearby Union Pier restaurants.

    - Regional Exploration: A short drive to Warren Dunes State Park, local wineries, and the nature trails of Harbor Country.

    PLANNING YOUR STAY

    - Entertainment: This home is optimized for digital life with Starlink internet and streaming-only TV (no basic cable).

    - Check-in: The primary guest must be 30+ years of age (ID required).

    - The Essentials: We provide a high-quality "Starter Kit" (2 rolls of TP per bath, 2 rolls of paper towels, 4 trash bags, and hand soap). For week-long stays, we recommend bringing extra laundry/dishwasher soap and personal convenience items.

    - Community Harmony: We value the serenity of Union Pier. This is a strictly smoke-free and pet-free sanctuary. Large parties or family gatherings are not permitted.
