Really nice!

This house was beautiful with an even better view of the lake! You can tell it is an older home but is very well kept. We had an amazing time here!

Great summer vacation

Location was awesome! Easy access to beach with amazing view. House is old and rustic as listed so nothing unexpected. Could use some improvements. Appears to have some updates in decorating and bedding then what is shown in pictures. Beds were comfortable and house was spacious and so was the property. Great family vacation with 10 adults and 2 children.

Perfect Weekend Getaway

The 2023 reviews of the property did not reflect what we found in 2024. We found a well maintained older lake house that had plenty of room for 3 couples. The walk down to the beach was through a steep set of stairs so be forwarned. The grill worked perfectly, towels were available and all we needed was there. The town of New Buffalo is wonderful and very welcoming.

Union Pier

Home location: Excellent- close to neighboring towns and backyard steps to the beautiful private beach. Home condition-a bit tired. We never tried the fire pit nor the fireplace. Only 1 working shower on the first floor (sign on 2nd floor said the 2nd floor shower not working).

Dirty House with a GREAT Beach & View

Beach was great! View was wonderful! Deck surrounding the house needs some TLC, but was a great place for coffee, and conversing. Shower outside the back door was perfect for washing off sand. No air conditioning in some bedrooms - ugh! Washing machine stopped working and no one came to repair it. Sand and dirt in the house when we arrived. Stairs had not been swept or mopped. Sand & dirt under couches in living room and beds in bedrooms. Some covers in bedrooms had bugs on them. Kitchen floor had not been properly cleaned in who knows how long. Kitchen faucet dripped constantly. Bathrooms were not completely clean. Hair was evident around toilets and sink.

The view and beach are great, but the house is not!

The house was not as advertised. The listing pictures were not recent and did not reflect the true status of the home. The bathrooms were not well cleaned or maintained and the two upstairs showers were not large enough for a normal-sized adult to fit in. There were exposed electrical wires throughout the house and a musty, mold smell permeated the entire inside. The kitchen was not well-appointed with necessary utensils and cutlery. The house was extremely dusty and looked like another party had just left- coolers and other items were left throughout the home that should have been discarded by a cleaning crew. The two positive aspects of the house were the close proximity to the beach and there were AC units in each bedroom, so the house stayed cool. I would not stay at this house again due to the lack of cleanliness and the misrepresentation from the listing.

Fantastic location! Accurate to listing; relatively old and could use some updates. Second floor shower was still not working (noted that in a review from last summer and assume it would’ve been fixed by now?) and also had some wifi issues. Overall great stay

Long weekend with the daughters.

Rented this property for a long weekend with two daughters and granddaughter. Has plenty of room for everyone to relax and great access to lovely beach. Close to dining and shopping. Does not have Central Air Conditioning and the main floor portable unit struggled to keep up. The bedrooms each have window units that were adequate. The upstairs bathroom shower was "buggy", so daughters wouldn't use it, and the hot water heater was too small for 3 people. We did enjoy our stay.

It’s all about the private beach!

UP is my hometown. I wanted a home with a small private beach and that is what we got. You share the beach with whoever is next door using the same set of stairs. I knew the house would not be the main reason for choosing, however we were all pleasantly surprised as it’s nicer than the pictures. The bed I slept in was comfortable. One shower (of 3 inside) was not working. We had 6 adults and 4 kids with plenty of room. The kids loved the TV room by the stairs. The beach was more clean than the public beach. Had to remind some folks on the public beach that our section was private. The house sits on an acre of ground and we put up a net for volleyball. Loved the firepit, a natural gathering spot for the family. All in all a great stay!

Location location location!

The location was perfect! We were able to walk everywhere and the beach access was perfect! The house was a little disappointing although the pictures didn’t lie they didn’t tell the whole truth. The downstairs bathroom was great! The upstairs bathroom had wall damage that had been repaired but not painted. The shower wasn’t clean and it was tiny! The comforters were stained or had dead bugs on them in two bedrooms. The kitchen was not clean….dead flies covered the windowsill and sink and counters. The downstairs was huge and open which we loved!

Great setting on the lake. Host does need to address a few things that would make this safer for kids: the stairs to the second floor have wide spacing of the spindles and a child could easily slip through. We resorted to tying ropes along them and chuffing one of our suitcases between the last one and the wall. Also there are no usable closets but each room has a curtained of opening that would be a great closet that are all filled with old bedding, bags of sheets and one had old window frames. For the courtesy of your guests those should all be emptied and hangars on a simple rod would suffice. Loved having all the clean towels. The slider to the side porch is almost unable to be opened . We stored our bikes there and had a real struggle opening that slider. There is a broken sash window in the central bedroom back of the house. There is a screen and storm, but the window needs replacing. There were pieces of aluminum gutter in the front yard hear the outside shower.Plumbing worked great but your water heater is set at 160 degrees which is a scald hazard.the windows in the kitchen are unable to be opened and need repair. We will stay here again as overall it proved the space we needed for a great visit. We have stayed in several older houses in UnionnPier over the last 30 years and this one just needs some repairs, especially the stair banner ster and spindle issue which is a definite fall hazard for children under 5. Washing machine is broken. The kitchen was fine.

Needs lots of work.

Extremely unkept. Smell of mold- particularly upstairs. Needed to do cleaning myself at beginning of the week. Numerous items under the couch (cherry tomatoes, stuffed animal and dirty s socks). Used tooth brush in the bedroom. Poorly stocked kitchen. Very little grass in back- mostly mud. 5 windows would not open at all. (Difficult without central air.) With that said the location was perfect. Shame more time isn’t spent on basic upkeep and maintenance.

House by the Lake

The house is old, but nice. Great downstairs with fireplace, dining area and separate lounge area. Some lights did not work and one of the bedrooms is a bit cramped, but overall a very nice property. Access to the lake is very convenient and a nice experience.

Amazing Location

We really enjoyed our stay in this home. The location is incredible. Stairs right down to an amazing beach. Right down the street from good shops. Location/lot are incredible. The house is pretty worn. Multiple broken doors, paint cracks, no central air, no dishwasher, lots of general wear and tear. But for what we wanted (young family beach vacation) it was great. Overall we really enjoyed our stay!
