24 Reviews of Property 228275 in Union Pier, Michigan

Have spent time over the last 3 summers in the New Buffalo and Union Pier area and this house has been the best yet. Great space both indoor and out. What a fantastic yard/deck(s). The house is fully stocked with everything from dishes. glasses and serving trays to paper towels and toilet paper. He even provides wine glass to the local wineries so you can save a buck there as well. Communication was prompt and always informative, he even contacted us and offered to let us check in before the standard 4:00 because he knew the place was clean and ready to go. Location was very central - only a 2 minute drive to the beach (no facilities) and a 10 minute drive to more commercial beaches like New Buffalo and Warren Dunes. If you don't HAVE to be close enough to walk to the beach, this place is for you. It's always a tough call for me and my family deciding on if we want a smaller place with less privacy and walk to the beach or a bigger place where we can hang in the yard without anyone peering in on us and drive... I'm glad we took a chance on this place. Driving down the road to the water was a small price to pay for such a great house/experience.

Cottonwood was fabulous! It was very well kept and the outside deck space was perfect for young kids and dogs to play. Our family had a wonderful stay here. The house is very clean and fully furnished. It was nice to rent a home where such things as detergent, toilet paper, paper towels, etc was stocked. The location is nice too. Very close to the beach and just minutes for New Buffalo. I was very impressed by space provided. We felt like our family was on our own little island at the property. My dog had a wonderful time too! He got to run around the fenced in yard all day long! He, as well as us, were not ready to leave! I would highly recommend Cottonwood for your family vacation destination. It is beautiful inside and out! Thanks Cottonwood!

It was a beautiful house in a perfect setting. It was well appointed inside and out with very nice and comfortable furnishings as well as a large yard filled with luscious plants and flowers. It was very big and there was not an attention to detail missed. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again and I actually wish I could live there all year round.

My partner and I recently rented this lovely house for an extended weekend getaway with friends. We met the owners the week before to get a walk-through of the property, and both were very thoughtful in showing us around the place. They didn't rush us through and answered all our questions. Even though they just had guests that weekend, the house was immaculate. Also worth noting, this house is off the same exit as winery tasting room right (Exit 6).

When we arrived the next week for our stay, the condition was even better, with clean bedding and towels (that were beautifully embroidered I might add). The whole interior is well-organized and welcoming. The entire house is amazing and well suited for a medium to large sized group. The extra air mattresses they provided come with attached air pumps and are better than your typical budget buy mattresses. A few of our friends also opted to sleep on the screened in porch to be closer to nature and reported that to be just as comfortable.

The backyard and deck are simply gorgeous. We lucked out with unseasonably nice weather and spent most of our time lounging on the deck and in the backyard. While big, the back yard has adequate lighting, supplemented by tiki torches, and a lovely fire pit also supplied by the owners.

The kitchen is bright and has everything you need to cook a nice meal. If you worry about bringing the right pot or pan, DON'T. They probably have it there! The owners pay attention to necessary details and provided everything to accommodate a party, including two grills. All you have to do is bring the food.

With so much space and a unique layout, there was definitely plenty of room for all to spread out and find privacy. And to boot the owners are kind and communicative. The neighbors were super friendly as well (we met the ones to the south of the house).

Sometimes the feel or spirit of a place is just as important as the structure itself. This place has that warm inviting feel. We will definitely be renting this house again and you should too!

Our large group, which included several young children, stayed for four nights. We had plenty of room for everyone, and yet the house still felt cozy. The family room has a door, which allowed us to put some of the kids on the floor in sleeping bags without disturbing them. Nothing was overlooked in the kitchen, which had plenty of cookware and enough dishes and glasses for the group. The bathrooms were clean, and the were plenty of towels. The owners were easy to work with and flexible. The only downside was the misquitoes, which were to be expected on such a large, wooded lot. This was our first stay in Union Pier, which was an easy 10 minute drive to the New Buffalo beach and had a small grocery store for last minute items. Overall, we had a great stay.

We've rented Cottonwood for several years now and it is a vacation we look forward to each time! We rent for 5 days every summer and, just this year, began renting it for a winter weekend as well. We are a large group of friends that come without kids, but with dogs--we cook all our meals in the house and eat together at the huge dining room table. This kitchen is great for cooking and we do a lot of it! The house has great privacy (and is set back from the other homes in case you get a little loud now and then) and is great proximity to the town (visit Bud and Elsie's, Frankies, Redamaks, and the little wine store down the street). We watch a sunset on the beach one night and spend the rest of the time on the amazing deck. Quick jaunt to the beach (where we spend all of our days!). I would highly recommend for a winter getaway as well! We love Cottonwood!

We had a blast staying at 'Cottonwood' so much so I added it to my blog providing a 'rave' review on this location http://bit.ly/aZf7Ai ....Check out more photos and a list of things to do. We can't wait to get back.

We've rented many places in the area and this was the most comfortable of all. We actually wanted a place closer to the lake, but once we got there and sat outside in the lovely garden, it was hard to get us to care about going to the lake! The house was clean, it's stocked with everything you could possibly need and very private, The decor was so nice and charming (loved the bunny paintings) and Charlie, our dog loved it too! Not one bad thing to say. Oh, and Tony was great to work with. I hope to rent it again!
