THE SPACE
“Sumptuous”… “Elegant”… “Rich”… These words come to mind upon setting foot in The Dakota, an exquisitely designed 4BR-2.5BA home nestled on 1½ acres in the serene woods of Union Pier, less than one mile from Lake Michigan’s beaches. Completely renovated in 2014, this stunning property features cathedral ceilings, a Great Room with stone fireplace, Brazilian Cherry (espresso-stained) hardwood floors throughout—with white oak in the bedrooms—and luxurious, yet comfy furnishings in every room.

The spacious kitchen is highlighted by a large granite island, high-end appliances and a stylish bench-seat breakfast nook. A large cozy porch with wall-to-wall windows and fashionable couches, chairs and “picnic table” provides you with great views of the massive backyard and surrounding trees, making it a relaxing oasis to sip coffee or your favorite wine.

Speaking of the backyard, it’s perfect for entertaining, with a fenced, seasonal pool (with outdoor shower and bathroom), a covered wooden deck, outside patio (w/ patio set), eight-person hot tub, barbecue grill, huge lawn and a fire pit.

Back inside, all 4 bedrooms are large, super-comfortable and professionally styled, and 3 have private decks. The Dakota can sleep up to 9.

Primary Suite: 1 King bed
Bedroom 2: 1 King bed
Bedroom 3: 1 Queen bed
Bedroom 4: Twin-over-full bunkbed + trundle that sleeps 3 total

Two bathrooms feature granite-topped double-sinks and tiled showers.

Besides being near the majestic, crystalline sand beaches of Lake Michigan AND some great spots to eat, drink and be merry in Union Pier – as well as its stylish boutiques and quaint antique shops – you’re also super-close to the many popular restaurants, coffee shops, distinguished art galleries and unique shops of downtown New Buffalo! Plus, you can enjoy the countless activities afforded by being a stone’s throw from the region’s largest recreational harbor – including boat, jet-ski, kayak, paddleboard and other watercraft rentals, as well as fishing expeditions and day or evening cruises – and all sorts of woodland, lake and riverside parks with hiking and biking trails galore.

In addition, Warren Dunes State Park is close by, with its 2,000 acres of amazing sand dunes, gorgeous beachfront, wetland trails and extraordinary birdwatching! Many of our guests also relish visiting New Buffalo’s Oselka Park, which has baseball fields, playground equipment and tennis courts. And being so centrally located, there are plenty of nearby fun activities to keep you busy during your vacation, including:
• Multiple Public Lake Michigan Beaches
• Farmers Markets
• Seasonal Festivals
• Local award-winning Breweries
• Local award-winning Wineries and Wine Tours
• Golf courses
…and more!

it was stunning, and the pool was truly the highlight! the yard as well. michigan laws are VERY dog unfriendly so it limited what we could do. also, union pier seems to have zero sidewalks so it was uncomfortable walking anywhere for fear of getting hit. only issue with the house was the door from the kitchen to the sunroom! you had to slam it to shut it, and it never fully felt locked. other than that it was quite literally an amazing place.

We received a text message ahead of time with a link to their site, which contained all of the instructions and details needed for a comfortable and safe stay. Small details like, the perfect temperature, amenities and treats upon our arrival added a nice touch to our experience. The large backyard provided ample space for our entire family to do independent activities comfortably. We look forward to our next stay at this lovely getaway.

We really loved our time at the Dakota. The house is as gorgeous as it looks in the pictures, and very spacious. Theres's plenty of room to spread out, but plenty to gather in, as well. There's also plenty of throughtful touches like board games, laundry baskets and detergent, and and an excess of beach towels. I mentioned in an email that we were visiting for my sisters birthday, and when we arrived, there was a personalized cake waiting for us. It was such a thoughtful gesture that went far beyond anything I'd expect. A few things that I find helpful to know about a place: you'll find all the pots, bowls, and cooking utensils you could need. There were a few baking sheets and even a crock pot. And there's plenty of plates, silverware, and drinkware on hand. Salt, pepper, and olive oil were provided. We had such a nice stay and will definielty keep Juniper in mind for future visits to the area.

Belated Father’s Day Weekend
Stayed here after visiting a couple wineries in the area with my wife, kids and their significant others for a belated Farher’s Day weekend. Beautiful house, pool, backyard fire pit, etc. in a perfect location for our plans. Great communication with management throughout. We visit the area occasionally since there are lots of things to do within a short distance from home. We’ll look for this place every time we’re traveling with our family.

Our whole group really enjoyed our stay here! The hosts were incredibly responsive and let us check in a few hours early. The space itself was also perfect. It was exactly like the pictures, and the space was clean. All guests complimented how comfy the beds were, too! Our only hiccup was that it was a bit difficult to request ride shares, and I’d recommend scheduling ride shares ahead of time just in case you need to be somewhere! I’d definitely choose this spot again next time I visit the area.

"Staying at the Dakota was easy, breezy and fun! There was a welcome gift and travel size body products in each bathroom. The house was flooded with natural light and the skylights in the bathroom were a nice surprise. The kitchen is well-stocked for cooking.

"This is our second time staying here and we love this house! We love to come in the winter and play in the snow. the house is so beautiful and you have everybody you need - lots of kitchen supplies, towels etc. And if you are traveling w kids, they had everything we needed like a pack and play and highchair and kids plates and cups. The team is very responsive and helpful but the house was in pristine condition and we didnÔø?t need anything. We actually walked to the nearby wineries (14 min walk) and to get coffee - and easily popped from town to town.

We stayed here for a weekend trip with friends and the house was amazing! Great location, beautifully decorated, clean, and perfect for two families with young kids. We accidentally left some items at the house and Juniper was quick to respond and help locate and mail the items back to us. Highly recommend this property!

It was fun
The property and home are amazing, very clean with high-end elements. We stayed in late-September and even though it was too cold to use the pool, the hot tub was great and the various patio spaces and fire pit, and fireplace in living room, were nice to enjoy as well. We loved our stay and highly recommend booking this place for a relaxing getaway!

The place is awesome. The hot tub and the yard make this place great. The only downside is the extremely high cleaning fee of 300 dollars and they want you to do a lot of work.

We loved our stay! The house was gorgeous, clean, and spacious with enough amenities that we had just as much staying in as we did going out. The beds were comfortable with great pillows, which you don’t see very often in rental houses. We took full advantage of the hot tub and grill along with the well stocked cooking utensils. The only two pieces of feedback was that the listing said checkout was 11:00 but the host told us it was 10:00. Luckily for us, no one checked in the day we checked out so the hosts were flexible and allowed us a late checkout. Additionally, there was quite a bit of cleaning required on our part as part of the hosts check out process, which felt extensive given that we were also charged for cleaning fees. Otherwise it was a lovely and hassle free stay!

Hi Haley! First off, we are so happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay with us. You were a wonderful guest, and we would love for you to stay with us again. Second, thank you so much for your feedback. We came to realize that 10am was way too early of a check-out time for our guests, so we are in the process of changing the check-out time to 11am. So sorry for the confusion! We are also in the process of eliminating some of the tasks off of our check out list. We definitely do not want to ask too much of our guests and want to make check-out as smooth as possible. Thank you again for your review!

This house is amazing and the communication with the owner was quick and helpful. We loved our stay here. Besides the house itself, we especially loved the heated pool, hot tub, and firepit. The only thing that I would change is how early the check out time is, especially with the checklist of things to do before leaving. Even so this house is a gem and I hope to be back.

Everything about this vacation house is exactly as listed and even better than we could have imagined. The house was beautiful, clean and has all the amenities you need. The heated pool , backyard , hot tub and fire pit all added to our amazing experience. The location was perfect and secluded, but easy access to beaches , restaurants, breweries etc.Communication was seamless and their follow up was very professional. I highly recommend this and you won’t be disappointed.

The host was very accommodating and responsive when I booked the house. Everything you need for a comfortable stay is provided including grill, kitchen appliances, and items for infants. Pets being permitted was a plus. The heated pool and jacuzzi were well worth the stay. They were also kind enough to follow up twice per day and even leave us some welcome treats! Highly recommend.

Really great home. The pool was perfect temperature, and was very easy to cover/uncover. The house was clean and organized, and it was obvious they put a lot of thought into having everything necessary, including stuff for young children which was a huge bonus. They also had a well crafted guest book which highlighted things to do in the area and places to eat.

Lovely home and property
VRBO
We have been renting for over 30 years in this area. This is a particularly lovely home if you don't mind being a little further from the beach. The property was gorgeous with a great patio and porch. It was wintery weather so we didn't get to take advantage of the pool. The interior was beautifully decorated with lots of thoughtful features, the kitchen was well stocked and functioned well, the beds are very comfortable, the linens throughout were very nice, there was plenty of shower and bathroom space for all. My only complaint is that the third and fourth bedrooms didn't accommodate adult couples well. One had a full size bed, and the other bunks. We had three adult couples. If that full-size bed was upgraded to a queen, that would make a difference. The owners have lots of lovely touches around that make it feel homey. Also, it is relatively new and so far it is being kept up nicely which can be hard to do in rental homes that get a lot of traffic. Communication was great with this team. We would definitely stay here again.

We had the best time at Juniper. It is probably the nicest Airbnb I've stayed at in my life ;). We went in the winter and used the hot tub but not the pool. The yard is huge and we spent a lot of time running around outside. Our dog enjoyed it too! They had plates and cups and forks for kids, a pack and play and a highchair. The kitchen was a joy to cook in and the side porch was a great place to work and eat breakfast. We are already thinkng about booking our next Juniper trip!

We loved our time here. Perfect for two families meeting half way between Michigan and Chicago. Beautifully appointed furniture and design. Felt like a star vacation. Loved that they were expecting us with a light on and jazz tunes to welcome us. So many thoughtful touches to welcome guest, even guests with littles, with kids plates and soppy cups. Kitchen is well stocked and we didn’t need to use some of the the things we brought “just in case”

We stayed here for a girl's weekend. The house is beautiful and had plenty of space and bathrooms for 8 girls. The kitchen was the perfect space for hanging out and we took advantage of some winter hot tub time.

We stayed at The Dakota for a girl's weekend getaway in January and it exceeded all of our expectations! The house was incredibly cozy and cute, and CLEAN. There was plenty of space for the six of us and the beds were comfortable. We did a lot of cooking at the house and were amazed at how well stocked the kitchen was. The backyard was large, and we spent a lot of time in the hot tub (perfect for the winter weather). We would love to come back in the summer so we could spend more time in the yard at the firepit and in the pool. Could not recommend this place enough!
