Photos and Description of the Union Pier vacation farmhouse rental
4+ bedroom, 2.5 bath, sleeps 10 in beds and 4 on air mattresses

Located within a mile of I-94 Exit 6, Union Pier. Cottonwood, our rambling old farm house, offers the best of both worlds; quiet seclusion from the hustle and bustle of neighbors and a quick hop to all area activities.

Kick back in comfort and enjoy the space. Our 3000+ square home sits on 2+ acres and has been lovingly restored and updated to provide all of today's modern conveniences while retaining the warmth and charm of a rural homestead. Between the family room, living room, screened-in porch, expansive deck and yards, you're sure to find the perfect spot for a mid-day nap or have plenty of space to host friends for cocktails and a barbecue.

And don't forget the dogs! We've enclosed a 1/2 acre of yard with a three-foot high fence. There's plenty of room for even big dogs to get a workout chasing squirrels.

Union Pier is only an hour and a half from downtown Chicago but is worlds apart. You can head to the beach, golf, bike, and kayak. Go antiquing, tour the vineyards, and stop by a farm and pick your own berries, peaches, apples, and pumpkins. Or enjoy the thrill of a Notre Dame football game, outlet shopping, or the Four Winds Casino.

There are also many weekend events scheduled throughout the year in neighboring towns that are only minutes away from Cottonwood. Be sure to visit the Harbor Country website for a full calendar of concerts, fairs, etc.

We've found a new tradition!

We've found a new tradition!

We were a group of ten adults (five couples of graduate students and significant others) who were looking for a quiet getaway weekend from the city, and Cottonwood was just that! The house is gorgeous (way cuter than even the pictures suggest)! There was plenty of room for cooking, relaxing, and our weekend-long poker tournament. The kitchen was filled with every thing we needed for our foodie cooking adventures, and the family room fireplace created a cozy atmosphere throughout the weekend.

The back yard was also perfect for our three pups (small, medium, and large). They loved chasing each other around the property, and my hound was in hunting heaven as she treed several squirrels during our stay. If you are looking for a dog-friendly vacation spot, this is it!

Tony and Dave were very helpful in the lead-up to our trip, answering every question quickly and thoroughly (they even had a bottle of wine and a welcome note waiting for us upon arrival). I (the organizer of the trip) found them a pleasure to work with from beginning to end. We all agreed that we will have to make an annual trip to Cottonwood from now on!

Thanks for a wonderful weekend and all your hospitality!

Wonderful weekend at Cottonwood!

This is an absolutely wonderful house. It was spotless and very well appointed. It is very rare to find a rental kitchen so well stocked. The layout was great for relaxing and entertaining. There were many spaces to gather as a group or just sit privately and we all slept very well.
We were a group of seven women and all of us fell in love with the house over a freezing weekend in March. I am really looking forward to returning in the warmer months.
My friend said the owners were lovely to work with. I highly recommend a stay at Cottonwood.

From the beginning to the end of the process, Tony was pleasant and easy to work with, and Cottonwood was a complete delight! Clean, charming, warm and inviting! My six friends and I set off for a weekend of knitting and conversation and were very happy at Cottonwood. We are already planning several return trips!

Perfect for a Group Getaway

6 girlfriends and I stayed at this welcoming country home during an early Spring weekend. This home perfectly suited our needs:
-a warm welcome in the form of a comprehensive and snappily written guide to the house, answering every question a person might have about the home or the local area. We rented the house as a knitting retreat, and there was a special welcome basket waiting for us, which was so unexpected and a lovely personal touch
-a well-appointed, fabulous kitchen with wide-plank floors and every appliance or cookware item you might need, from baking dishes to cocktail shakers to ample wine glasses, serveware, and cloth napkins for a large group. Beautiful, separate dining room, perfect for large groups.
-a fantastic great room, where we lit fires from morning until night, with a beautiful view of the wooded back yard, as well as another indoor space to gather as a group. I would imagine that it would be lovely to hang out in the very large yard during the summer.
-lots of sleeping options. This listing says the house sleeps 13, however, unless the adults are married, or some of the 13 are children, consider getting in touch with the friendly owners for more information about the configurations of the bedrooms and type and number of beds to make sure this home works for you. 7 people in the house was pushing it for us modest ladies who preferred not to bedshare.

What a fantastic New Years Eve

I wanted to plan something nice for my friends. We are all in our 20's and wanted to get away from Chicago for New Years, so I found this delightful cabin in Michigan. The owners were very easy to deal with and understanding. We got to the cabin and were amazed at how beautifully furnished the interior was, it was almost too nice for us.

We drank a LOT of alcohol and brought a large speaker system and danced several nights away. There was a large Christmas tree, they asked if we wanted them to keep it up and I said YES ABSOLUTELY. It added to the great holiday spirit. The fireplace worked wonderfully and there was nearby grocery and restaurants to get food and alcohol from.

I won't mince words, my friends and I are rather hardcore, but we try to be responsible at the same time. Afterwards I was told there was a little mess someone left somewhere, but they would take care of it for free. Very very impressed with their kindness and understanding. They even invited us back for this year but I said we couldn't. Maybe to ring in 2014!?

Hope to stay again!
