The location is a very short walk to the beach. Excellent location. We had everything we needed in the kitchen and all of the dishes and silver were top end.

And close to the beach! We have stayed in several houses in Union Pier and this is our second summer here. In fact this year ewe stayed two weeks we liked it so much. We love that it is such a short walk to the beach. And the beach isn't crowded being that it is hard to park near the entrance. The owners provide a wagon to bring the chairs, towels, etc down which is a big help. The house itself has everything you need especially in the kitchen. We like to cook at home and everything we needed was there. Beds are all very comfortable (not always the case at rentals) and plenty of bedding, towels etc. We didn't use the firepit as it was pretty hot out but wood is also provided. You can tell the owners take pride in their house and no detail has been missed. A great place for our family to relax and unwind. We will be back again next year. ##### Bill G.

The home owners answered all our questions cordially and quickly, provided us with everything we needed and worked hard to go above and beyond to insure we were comfortable.The house and grounds were clean and very accommodating. The house's closeness to Lake Michigan, especially the hot week we rented, was just what we needed. While we have not formally met the owners, we felt like we were staying at a friend's house rather then just renting. We highly recommend these owners and the house and property for others to enjoy. We certainly will endeavor to hook up with these owners and this property in the future. ##### Stephen L. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Bill G.

Everything was top notch. We love to cook at home and the kitchen has everything you need and then some. And a Weber grill! Plus a large table to dine at if you have a bigger group. Also, towels, bedding etc great quality. I have stayed at many places where that was not the case. Great fire pit area in the yard where we sat at night several times. When the owners say a quick walk to the beach they mean it. I wouuld say about 5 minutes. I never really timed it due to how close it was. The beach was great and owners provided Tommy Bahama chairs and plenty of beach towels. Communication was great as I spoke with Susan serveral times. Will definitely be back.

Aug 16, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Three Gems Cottage is a gem A very comfortable cottage, well decorated and stocked with everything you need in the kitchen and throughout the house. The gardens surrounding the cottage were absolutely lovely at the beginning of August. Very short walk to great beach - soft sand and lovely vistas. The only caveat in the house might be that the stairs to go to the second floor are old and very shallow so anyone that is a bit unsteady may find them a challenge. As for the beach, the public area is fine, but it is bordered on both sides by prominent signs that read "Private Beach!" I don't think I have ever seen that posting before. We were a family of four adults and one four year old child and there was enough to do in the surrounding area. If you need a day trip, St. Joseph has a wonderful carousel and lots of shops and restaurants. p.s. the bakery in Union Pier is amazing and the hosts give a lot of restaurant information in a packet in the house. ##### Sally G.
