Leo Cottage
It's no surprise that this stunning cottage has been featured on HGTV, and in Lonny, Cottage Living, and Bungalows & Cottages magazines - with its stylishly rustic touches and comfy vibes, the Leo Cottage perfectly embodies Harbor Country’s curated, casual aesthetic. Designed and owned by the sought-after firm of Kate Marker Interiors (whose work has been recognized by Architectural Digest and Luxe Home, and touted as one of Domino’s “20 Designers to Watch”), this home offers the best combination of beauty and comfort in the heart of Union Pier.
THE SPACE
The cottage exterior greets guests with a charming wood picket gate and an award-winning garden featured in Better Homes and Gardens magazine. Upon entering, patterned floors and a charming palette provide the utmost in cottage comfort. Two queen bedrooms are perfectly appointed, in addition to a generous bunk room that sleeps 4. The main bedroom/bathroom showcases a stand-alone clawfoot tub for the kids to bathe in after a day at the beach, or for enjoying some private time with a glass of wine. Vaulted ceilings and rustic exposed beams lend a dramatic aspect to the main living area, while accents of rattan, rope, natural fiber, whitewash, and shiplap contribute to the home's Lake Michigan vacation themes. Perhaps the greatest features of the home are its two wood-burning free-standing fireplaces, one in the front family room and the other in the main suite.
The Leo Cottage kitchen has been updated to include many modern amenities while still retaining a vintage lake house feel, with newly installed kitchen cabinets, appliances, lighting, and faucets. You'll love preparing tonight's vegetables in the generous farmhouse sink! The well-equipped kitchen includes an oversized center prep island with bar stools for entertaining, plus a breakfast area with booth seating. Serve in the gorgeous dining room or extend the options for gathering over meals to the outdoors with a large furnished patio and a well-appointed screened-in gazebo to keep the bugs away.
Guests will also have access to a private hot tub (a great place to unwind), fire pit area, and an outdoor shower to rinse away the sand after a long day at the beach. The Leo Cottage comes with 2 adult bikes and 2 children's bikes for guest use, along with beach chairs and a Ping-Pong table in the garage for some family entertainment. With so much to offer, this home is sure to provide your family with beautiful and lasting memories!

Heart of Union Pier
by KatieBeautiful home in the heart of Union Pier. Close to the beach, local coffee shops, and short drive to New Buffalo. Gorgeous garden and impeccably decorated living space.
*During this stay the property was under previous owner or management.*
Charming
by Houston M.This house is even more charming than it looks online – had everything we needed! Bunk room for the kids, bikes for all of us, Ping-pong table, chairs for the beach! Everything was beautifully decorated, but still felt like we could use it. And we did! Thank you for a wonderful stay!
*During this stay the property was under previous owner or management.*
Great Amenities
by LisaWe have stayed in this part of the Michigan shore for many years and this is a fantastic location - a short walk to a small but lovely public beach area as well as the shops of Union Pier. The hot tub, ping pong table and fire pit amenities kept our sons entertained and the garden area is beautiful and peaceful. The bathrooms are quite tight, but the bedrooms are spacious and comfortable - the bunk room is great for kids of all ages. The cottage looks just like the pictures with lots of designer touches throughout. Thanks for an enjoyable stay!
*During this stay the property was under previous owner or management.*

Romantic Getaway
by David F.We had an anniversary weekend in the Leo Cottage. It's perfect for a very nice romantic getaway. A few more bedrooms than needed for just a couple, but the environment so nice it was worth every penny. Maybe a bit too nice if you have young kids (I would have been worried about messing it up) but certainly for adults and families with older kids or extended-family destination it would be nice. Great decor and comfort.
*During this stay the property was under previous owner or management.*

Adorable
by Shanna D.Unbelievably adorable! The home decorations were amazing. We loved the hot tub, fire pit, and spending time in the yard. Lots of blankets, cute places to sit, very cozy. Walking distance to the water and close to restaurants. Couldn't have asked for anything more! Was a great weekend and look forward to coming back.

by AlexandraFantastic experience at the Leo Cottage! It had been years since we visited the area and the cottage delivered a wonderful time. Absolutely stunning design throughout.
