Description
Summary
This dreamy 4BR/3BA getaway is nestled in the Gordon Beach Association, offering a private beach, peaceful community, and proximity to Union Pier and New Buffalo. The light-filled open living area features elegant furnishings, a stone fireplace, and a beautifully appointed kitchen (marble island) and baths (1 with walk-in shower). It also includes a large screened porch, gas grill, and 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, which is 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 a flat-screen TV. Out the back door is a spacious outdoor living area overlooking the large backyard. The screened 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.

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.

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.

Cozy Escape
The beach is breathtaking even during a winter storm, it's lovely to be so close. The cottage kept us warm, cozy, and comfortable. We cooked all of our meals in the well-stocked kitchen. Lounged together, after meals, on the plush couches in the great room. The layout of this haven was perfect for us - we love a primary king suite on the main floor. Juniper has created a hospitality-first culture - they make it hard to go home.

Great home!
This was our second time at the Greystone Cottage and we loved it just as much. It’s a great layout for two families with kids. Lots of room inside and out + great location. Juniper provides true customer care too. Recommend all around + we’ll be back again!

Perfect escape!
As soon as we walked into this beautiful beach cottage, I knew we chose the perfect house! The decorating is so calm, blue, serene, and new! All the instructions for the home, was in a handy notebook at the desk as you walk in the home. To be able to walk to the beach right down the street and walk to the Black Currant, made the escape so enjoyable! Plenty of beach chairs, puzzles, books were available. Working with Juniper Holiday and Home was easy from the day of booking to the day of departure! Thank you for making this trip possible and I cannot wait to book this again! Patty

Beautiful House!
VRBO
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!

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.

A true vacation!
VRBO
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.
