Further details for this vacation cottage rental in Union Pier, Michigan

The loft is a partial second floor, reached by a staircase, with a wood-burning fireplace, all leading to an incredible view of the lake. This area provides a television with a comfortable viewing area of the lake, a small office setup with desk and fax/copier, as well as the third sleeping space with two twin beds. The kitchen is modern, with every convenience. The house is replete with wood paneling, hardwood floors, oriental rugs, and original art. One Queen floor futon and Queen roll out bed in the loft allow sleeping for an additional two people, so the house sleeps 8 at capacity. 'Sanctuaire' with over 2000 square feet of living space provides for an open and airy retreat, three skylights, and a panoramic view through walls of glass, all giving a tree house ambiance. This exceptional home also features wool carpeting, a beautiful stone fireplace in the living room, and a variety of first class amenities. Be surrounded by fine bed linens.

The master bedroom, with wall-to-wall windows overlooking the lake, has a King-sized bed with Sterling and Foster mattress, and a magnificent master bath with a deep tub Jacuzzi. There is a separate guest room with a queen bed and its own bathroom. A secret path from the house to the lake leads to your use of own pier (and the use of your own 3 boats) and the lake frontage. On a forested acre surrounded on two sides by the bohemian groves, with extensive decks, and landscaping designed for year-round beauty. This unique retreat features a spectacular hot tub/spa for 6 that overlooks the lake. This hot tub is state-of-the-art with fiber optic lights surrounding the entire spa that light up the steam and the water in a variety of different colors for your complete relaxation and enjoyment. The ideal place is for four-season fun as we are close to several mountains for ski weekends and winter retreats. The lake, when frozen, can be wonderful for snow shoeing and/or skating.

Canoe, rowboat and paddle boat are available, free of charge, for rentals. This beautiful home is secluded, yet only minutes drive to the local wineries, Lake Michigan, Union Pier, St. Joseph, Warren Dunes, Grand Mere State Park, Public Golf courses and bicycle and hiking trails and 45 minutes to Saugatuck! The decks have an abundance of outdoor furniture, an outdoor fireplace, and lots of sunshine. We invite you with your group of from 1 to 8 to visit and share in the historic magic. Be captivated by the warmth of 'Sanctuaire'.

Sanctuaire

Ladydoctor Chicago
Review Submitted: October 7, 2007 Date of Stay: October 2007
We just came back from spending a long fall weekend at Sanctuaire. We've coming to Sanctuaire for the last several years since it is so close to our home to Chicago and a relaxing retreat. The website does not do Sanctuaire justice- its much better when you are there! Its stunning.
Also- we've rented vacation homes before and deal with owners/rental agencies who have no clue how to treat its guests. Sanctuaire is run like a Swiss watch. Sanctuaire is very professional and well maintained. I think it is a bargain when you understand everything you are getting- a beautiful home, amazing private outdoor hot tub, and lovely touches for the guests.

Loved it!

Tyler Lennox Chicago
Review Submitted: September 12, 2009 Date of Stay: September 2009
We have stayed at Sanctuaire a couple of times over the past year. It is FANTASTIC. Beautifully appointed in every capacity, top of the line everything. The home is private and conveniently located less than 2 hours from Chicago. We loved the lakefront that you can see from all the windows facing the lake, our private pier with great fishing and boating and long nights with a campfire near the lake. Everything awesome about Southwest Michigan is minutes away. We went to wineries, art galleries, antique stores, hiking, kayaking, lots of farms/farmer's markets. Lake Michigan beach is 5 minutes away. Long, white sand, beautiful beaches.

As Chairman of the largest literary event West of the Mississippi, this is the PERFECT getaway for writers, aspiring authors, and literary types.

The experience will exceed your every expectation. It is fantastic. I highly recommend it to anyone, singles, couples, families. It is terrific! Tyler H. September, 2009

Review Submitted: August 16, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
Dear Mona- - We had a very, very nice time at Sanctuaire. You were right. It is very peaceful and quiet...just the right amount of serenity coupled with convenience. We tried to take in as many of the local events as possible...the Art Fair in St Joe's...New Buffalo, Sawyer, Union Pier, Warren Dunes, various Farmer's Markets, Tabor Hill and Lemon Creek Wineries and the Antique place right down the road. Looking forward to a return visit. Oh, and thanks so much for the bottle of wine upon our arrival....

We spent 10 weeks at Sanctuaire. Beautiful interior-tastefully decorated, Great location, great value, very comfortable to stay in. Its right on the Lake with fishing, swimming and boats! Incredible and awesome hot tub, laundry, kitchen facilities and kayak beach availability were great. Also we were able to book adventures right from the property. We are coming back again very soon in the fall.
