Description Description
This dreamy 4BR/3BA getaway is tucked into a quiet spot in the Gordon Beach Association neighborhood, offering a gorgeous PRIVATE beach, peaceful community and close proximity to Union Pier and New Buffalo. Features a light-filled open living area, elegant, yet comfy furnishings, a stone fireplace and beautifully appointed kitchen (marble-top island) and baths (1 w/ walk-in shower). Also has a large screen porch, gas grill + lush backyard. Just minutes to popular SW Michigan attractions!

THE SPACE
Walk in the front door to find a cozy living area with a stone-trimmed fireplace for chillier weather, bookshelves stocked with books and games, and an open dining area with a harvest table that seats 8. Continue into the kitchen that's styled with quartz counters, white oak custom cabinetry and an island with seating for three. Adjacent to the kitchen is a lounge area with comfy seating and flat-screen TV. Out the back door is a spacious outdoor living area overlooking the large back yard. The screen porch is where you'll love to be on summer evenings, listening to the frogs sing and reminiscing about your day at the beach.

Each bedroom is a perfect combo of comfort and style – we use only high-quality bedding and linens, to ensure a good night’s sleep, plus all the furnishings and décor are hand-selected with aesthetic appeal and practical use in mind.

MAIN LEVEL:
Bedroom 1: King bed ensuite
Bedroom 2: Twin-sized daybed with trundle

UPPER LEVEL
Bedroom 3: Queen bed
Bedroom 4: 2 Twin Bunk beds + trundle

The main level primary ensuite has a lovely bath with a walk-in tile shower, private water closet and beautiful custom cabinetry, and a second full bath with a walk-in shower is across the hall. Upstairs has a full bath with a combination tub/shower, plus a vanity and toilet in a separate space, making it easy for everyone to share.

Upstairs also has plenty of play space for younger visitors. A small loft lounge area offers a little couch for relaxing with a book or puzzle, and there is also a Pack ‘N Play and high chair available for the littlest travelers. Laundry facilities and supplies are conveniently located on the main level.

Step out the front door and it's a 5-minute walk to the private Gordon Beach access point, where you can take a long walk hunting for beach glass, enjoy a swim, nap in the sun or soak up a glorious southwest Michigan sunset during any season.

For those looking to explore nature, nearby Galien River County Park provides a serene escape into Michigan's lush landscapes. Hike along scenic trails that meander through forests and along riverbanks, perfect for birdwatching and picnicking amidst tranquil surroundings. Union Pier also boasts a vibrant arts scene with local galleries showcasing the talents of regional artists. From colorful paintings to intricate sculptures and handmade crafts, these galleries offer a glimpse into the creative spirit of the community and provide opportunities to find unique souvenirs.

When hunger calls, Union Pier offers a variety of dining options to satisfy every palate. Enjoy fresh seafood, farm-to-table dishes, or casual fare at charming eateries overlooking the lake. Nearby wineries and breweries add to the culinary experience with tastings of local wines and craft beers.

Whether you're seeking relaxation on the beach, outdoor adventures in nature, artistic inspiration, or culinary delights, Union Pier invites you to unwind and enjoy the simple pleasures of lakeside living.

We loved our stay here! The home was spotless and beautifully landscaped. The open floor plan worked great for a group and we appreciated that the house was stocked with puzzles, games, and books for all. We also loved the layout of the upstairs in particular - the separate bath/toilet/sink area in the bathroom made it really easy to navigate with multiple people. The house was really kid friendly, with thoughtful touches such as high chairs to make traveling with kids easier. There was a great stock of lawn games and beach toys in the shed, and we loved making s'mores over the fire pit. Lastly, we loved the proximity to the private beach (which was gorgeous)- the main reason we came!- and the walkability to Union Pier shops for bakery/ice cream/dinner.

We had a WONDERFUL stay and HIGHLY recommend this property. We had eight people total (two couples, four kids). The kids loved staying together in the bunk bed room. We all had plenty of space; it was nice having a dining table that sat us all for meals. The home was lovely and well appointed with lots to do. The house is approx a 5-8 minute walk from the beach.
The hosts were very responsive to any questions. It was a wonderful weekend away in Michigan. Book this property; you won’t be disappointed!

My family (kids and spouse) and one set of grandparents loved this place! It was in a great location (close to the beach and a playground for the kids) and had a lot of thoughtful items for family fun! Having a pack-and-play and other accessories for small children was a really nice touch! The place was extremely well stocked with a lot of items that are a pain to pack. :) It was extremely clean which gives peace of mind to a parent of a child with food allergies. Highly recommend!

This is my second time in one of Juniper Holiday + Home properties and I continue to be extremely impressed. This is a professional experience — everything is fresh, new, proactive. Place itself is wonderful and open with comfortable beds, beautiful surroundings steps to a private 1000' beach accessible to only the neighborhood association residents. Walkable to quaint shops and very peaceful. Every amenity is provided and very well stocked. Games, fireplace, small little “like home” touches made all the difference. I will only stay at Juniper properties for all SW Michigan visits and have already recommended it to family and friends!

An Amazing rental !

This beautiful property was probably the nicest I have rented. D?©cor and amenities were all very high. Neighborhood was secure and we felt safe. This was a "girls getaway" that was made even more special by being able to stay here. While not on Lake MI, the walk to the beach was easy and the beach was amazing.

We’ve stayed at several places in Union Pier, and this one is the best. Not only new construction, but the thought and quality of the build and decor were impressive! Easy walk to the beach and everyone was comfortable in this beautiful house! My only suggestion would be to figure out how to push more cool air upstairs…but the ceiling fans helped. We loved it!

Wonderful property and location

Beautiful, super clean property! It's open and airy and made for a very comfortable stay. We appreciated all the little details (lots of games and puzzles, activity books and crayons for the kids, gift soaps and branded beverage koozies to take home). The house is a great set up for lots of people (we only had 6, four adults and two kids under the age of 8). It's ~0.3 mile walk to the beach and the outdoor shower is great for rinsing off afterwards.Thanks for a memorable family vacation!

Perfect Home for a Week
VRBO
Our 5yo daughter starting calling this house our “home for the week” and we couldn’t agree more! The house is impeccably clean and well equipped with plenty of towels and every kitchen accessory we could need. On top of that, every room is beautiful, the linens are soft, and there are many thoughtful touches throughout! The kids loved the backyard (the shed is stocked with lots of yard and beach toys) and everyone appreciated that the outdoor shower had hot water! We loved our stay and can’t wait to come back.

This property is just perfect. It’s decorated beautifully with easy access (5 minute walk) to just about the most gorgeous beach in the world. The owners thought of everything. Games, full kitchen, and all the lovely touches one could want. Worth every penny. Also one of the primary bedrooms is on the first floor which made it much easier for my elderly parents to rest easy.
