Photos and Description of the Union Pier vacation cottage rental
3 Bedrooms, 2 Full Baths, Sleeps 7, secluded, original and carefully appointed.

Spring & summer in Harbor Country are about enjoying a classic Michigan getaway. Beaches, ice cream, s'mores around the giant firepit. Perusing the shops and antiques stores or just digging into that novel you have been meaning to get to..

Fiddlehead Cottage is named for the thousands of ferns in the gardens & woods. Well appointed in an eclectic cottage style with furniture by Ralph Lauren, Room & Board & more, this 2000 square foot home is tucked into the woods near Union Pier Village -minutes from beaches. The cottage is in a class above what you would expect in a vacation rental.

Equipped with the latest technology including WIFI, HDTV 46' Sony Bravia w/ Blu-Ray & Bose surround sound, premium cable channel lineup & DVD library.

A 5 minute walk to the bakery and shops in Union Pier, just a few more minutes walk to the beach (3/4 mile), close to wineries, great restaurants and antique stores. Private, yet close to everything...

Fiddlead Cottage is a rental home in a different class.

Cottage Features: The first floor features; a large screened-in porch, living room/dining room with fireplace and vaulted ceiling, two bedrooms (both with queen beds) and separate screened-in porch, a full bath and washer/dryer.

Nestled into the forest for privacy and seclusion, the brand new luxurious hot tub has an easy lift cover, 45 therapy jets and your choice of underwater LED lights adjustable at the touch of a button. Seats 5-6 adults. Simply amazing!

The second floor consists of a secluded master bedroom (king bed) with attached full bath (shower). The master has a separate terrace overlooking a mature forest - perfect for morning coffee.

Your vacation home is thoughtfully furnished with custom finishes and furnishings by Ralph Lauren, Room and Board, eclectic European and local antiques, thick towels, custom bedding and high thread count sheets. All interior lighting on dimmers creates the perfect mood.

More Cottage Features: This three bedroom cottage will comfortably accommodate a family of seven. But it’s also perfect for three couples traveling together, or as a romantic and extra-spacious getaway for two.

All this in a private forest setting amongst century old trees wildlife, a bubbling fountain and naturalized gardens. Quiet and secluded, yet minutes to Bud & Elsie's, The Red Arrow Roadhouse, The Whistle Stop and local shops.

The cottage is in the charming town of Union Pier on a private cul-de-sac lane on east side of the Red Arrow Hwy. and offers privacy and seclusion and a safe environment for kids far from busy roads.

Amazing Place To Stay!

This house was such a lovely place to stay! It's modern yet cozy, well maintained, and close to the downtown area. The pictures really don't do this place justice - the ceiling height in the main room was outstanding (20ft+ ceilings) and the space was perfect for dinner and board games by the fire. We also took advantage of the firepit outside. Overall we would definitely recommend this lovely home!

Fiddlehead Cottage was more amazing than we anticipated. The outside is so cute but we were even more pleasantly surprised when we saw the interior. It's decorated so nicely and it was ridiculously clean and inviting. The beds were all so comfortable and the kitchen was stocked with all the equipment we needed. The hot tub had a great location and was very private. Overall our stay was wonderful and it was the perfect place for our Spring Break :)

Fiddlehead is a lovely home with all the amenities you could want. The house was very well maintained and clean. The beds and bedding are plush. The hot tub was clean and provided a wonderful place to relax. We were in the hot tub while the snow was gently falling.
It is within walking distance to Union Pier. We walked to the beach as well but that was quite a hike. Timothy's restaurant in Union Pier is fabulous.
When we arrived there was soft music playing and it felt like home immediately.

We stayed at Fiddlehead for a weekend getaway in October and also for Thanksgiving to host our families. Each stay was wonderful. The cottage is charming with so many thoughtful details. We were particularly impressed with the quality of the kitchen utensils, cookware, bakeware, etc, since we were cooking Thanksgiving dinner there and required a plethora of kitchen tools!

The cottage is located in a very quiet neighborhood, and you feel like it's a million miles away from Chicago (in a good way)! The hot tub is a definite bonus, especially when you are surrounded by the beautiful fall leaves. Also, the fabulous Nani's Cafe is just down the road, the perfect stop for coffee and muffins when it is still open for the season.

Our interactions with Paul, the owner, were very pleasant too. Thank you for sharing your lovely cottage with us!
Owner's Response: Tom,

Thank you for your kind words. It's always great to have repeat guests. We furnished Fiddlehead Cottage with the things we would want to have in an upscale vacation home, including professional cookware and appliances. We find some for some guests, getting away means having the time to spend on recipes and meals as a form of relaxation! (I prefer the hammock).

We are glad you chose Fiddlehead for this occasion and hope to have you return soon.

Anniversary getaway!

5 of 5
Submitted: June 19, 2012 Stayed: June 2012
We had such an amazing time staying at this little piece of heaven for the weekend. We loved the house so much, we wanted to spend as much time there as possible. We spent our anniversary weekend with two of our very best friends, spent time around the fire, in the hot tub and cooked some amazing meals in the fully equipped kitchen. The house was immaculate and the beds were absolutely the most comfortable bed I have ever slept in. My husband and I are on the hunt to find this mattress as it is the best sleep either one of us has ever had! If you plan a stay, plan an extended stay because the weekend just wasn't quite long enough. Loved, loved this place and will definitely be back as soon as time permits!

Springtime weather is unpredictable. We arrived in 80 degree sunny weather, and it steadily dropped to the 40's and rain. Your beautiful woodland cottage catered to the comfort and convenience for my entire family. It's very close to Lake Michigan, galleries, antiques, and the Warren Dunes State Park. When the weather turned ugly, the hot tub and fireplace were welcome distractions.The dining room table was perfect for us to enjoy an evening of laughter and games. No one complained about the beds! Everything was clean and encouraged rest. Thank you for a wonderful place for us to reconnect as a family.
