Perfect Cottage, Perfect Location, Perfect Beach!
About this house rental
Situated in Chikaming Township, this charming house for $411 per night is a great choice for your next break. East of Eden is the perfect cottage for a romantic getaway or a fun-filled family vacation--in all seasons. The cottage has been impeccably restored and has it own private yard. It is a large one-bedroom, with well-equipped kitchen, full bathroom, and a beautiful open air living room with vaulted ceiling and skylights. After a beautiful sunset over Lake Michigan, come back and snuggle up with a good book next to the fireplace. Inside and out, our cottage is the perfect retreat. Nestled amoung 100-foot tall Norway Spruce pines, it is only a block to your own private 'singing sands' beach of Lake Michigan. Union Pier beaches are the softest and widest in SW Michigan! And, it is only a block and a half to great little bakery and breakfast places, coffee and latte shops, unique restaurants and even fine dining. Or you can just stay at the cottage, sit on the front deck, grill your own favorite fare and watch the passer's by. We are centrally located in the heart of Union Pier just off of the main road into town. Easy to get to, and easy to go to other attractions such as the Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore, various seasonal Art Fairs, Fruit Farms, Antiquing, or just 'Heading up the Red Arrow Highway'. **Please note that we do have a 2 night minimum, however in the high summer season we rent mostly for one week increments from Saturday to Saturday. We do try to accommodate as many people as we can. Sometimes in the early weeks or later weeks in the summer we can accommodate less than 7 nights. Please don't hesitate to inquire if we can. Thank you. Keywords: Cottage

East of Eden exceeded expectation in many ways! The fireplace came in handy on rainy evenings. The beach walk was pleasant, and the beach was perfect. Enjoyed waving to people passing by on the deck and walking to Black Currant Bakehouse. Thank you!

This is a great property for a couple and very close to the beach. The owners are wonderful and the directions in and about the property are laid out clearly. We ate at the Red Arrow Roadhouse both nights and it was really great! So was Mario's Pizza!

Great location and a cute cottage! We loved our stay at East of Eden. Close to the lake and you can walk to several of the area restaurants. We were primarily in this area for a visit to the Indiana Dunes National Park but loved the Union Pier area.

House was as expected. Public parking in front can be a little noisy but it was quiet after the holiday. The walk to and the beach were amazing. A little yard work would make the property look a lot better but overall a nice vacation

I cannot say enough nice things about this charming home and location. Much bigger inside than the photos depict. Getting to and from the beach was so easy, everyone is so friendly there. Felt very safe. My children and I watched the sunset each night it was stunning. Will definitely go back next summer!!! Thank you for such a great experience!!!

Immediately we were impressed with the cleanliness of the cabin. The host was very responsive to our questions. Appreciated the wagon to use to take gear to the beach.
The furniture in the unit has outlived its useful life- couch is uncomfortable, the two wicker chairs inside are uncomfortable. It was surprising to us there was no table inside or out to eat at or play games. For a family of 3 we would have enjoyed being able to sit outside on the deck for breakfast.

Great Girls Getaway
This was perfect for our family. Myself and daughters met up with daughter-in-law and her two daughters. We six girls had a great time just lounging at the beautiful, uncrowded beach and hanging out at the quaint cottage in the evenings. We all agreed this needs to become an annual event.

What a great week. I needed some R and R. I stayed with my dog for a few days before
my daughter and 2 granddaughters came at the end of the week for a few days. The beech was a 5 minute walk. They had a blast. What a great way to spend with family.

The cabin was lovely, a little older than I thought it would be but still nice. For my husband, who is a bigger guy, it was uncomfortable - the chairs and the bed. It is a nice place but not what we thought it was going to be.

Another great stay! Cottage is always clean and relaxing. The location is a short 15 min drive to New Buffalo or St. Joseph and the neighborhood is safe and quiet. In town, for this trip, I enjoyed banana bread and great coffee from the Black Currant Bakery; a must try for everyones list in Union Pier. Another nice trip. Will return.

Great for walking enthusiasts
5 minute walk to the beach and nearby shops are 5-10 min away. The beach is gorgeous- soft sand and good view of the sunset. Owners are extremely responsive to questions or concerns. We had a concern the first night and owners were quick to resolve. Murphy bed is very comfortable. Bathroom is next to kitchen, it gets tight if you are busy in the kitchen (no dishwasher) and traffic to the bathroom.

We loved our stay at this property -- it's a quick walk to a lovely beach, there are restauranst and a great farmers fruit stand nearby, and it is a very quiet street. The house is charming, everything works well, and the gas fireplace is particularly welcoming. Thanks!

I had a great week! Nice little cottage. Exactly as described. Close to a very nice beach…lovely walk through the Norway Spruce trees and quaint little cottages. There were 3 adults for a couple of days and that was a bit tight. It’s perfect for one or two adults.
