About this property

Private Beach Steps to the Lake.

  • This Union Pier Cottage is a member of The Gordon Beach HomeOwners Assn offering private beach access with a soft Westerly breeze and rising lake water temperatures. Only a 75 minute drive from Chicago and a 90 minute drive from Naperville. This beach front cottage offers the beautiful sunsets of the summer and the clean sandy beaches of Eastern Shore of Lake Michigan. Our 3 bedroom 900 square foot cottage has been the owners weekend getaway since 1991. Situated on 5/8 of an acre this heavily shaded property offers open space of lawn to play baseball or croquet, or rest on the front deck, drink a cold lemonade and enjoy the warm lakefront breeze. The stairs to the beach are fifty feet away where you can situate yourself on the expansive private beach area (patrolled on weekends to keep strangers off) or sit on the public community beach. The private beach is an association beach shared by Gordon Beach Homeowner’s and their guests. The second floor has a built in Queen size bed and custom bunk beds with a master suite bathroom and shower. Our beach chairs and umbrellas are always new. We welcome the privilege of hosting your family or group. We are a dog friendly unit and our private beach has limited hours of dog access daily.
