About this property

Welcome to Edgewater Villa, Nana's Cottage is tucked away from the road in charming Union Pier. You'll find a small cottage community that shares a private beach and a nostalgic ideal of "Simple Lake Living". This vintage cottage has produced cherished family memories for decades and is now available for you to make memories of your own. Listen to waves of Lake Michigan as you sleep, grill on the large open deck, play frisbee in the large back yard, or roast marshmallows by the fire pit. Take a walk down the tree lined path down to the dune to a beautiful private beach. This is a charming and modest vintage cottage. If you're looking for stainless appliances and Pottery Barn furniture, this is not for you. If you want to trade in the electronics for a board game and prefer conversation to TV, Welcome to your Beach Cottage!

Steps to the beach- Literally! This community is build up on a hill above the beach. There are 63 stairs, a combination of old steep concrete and wood. It's very close, but may offer some issues for those with mobility challenges. There is a five day minimum stay June -August.

Great getaway

We enjoyed getting away from the city to the cottage for a few days. The cottage was simple but had everything we needed and then some. The quick access to the beach was the best.

Perfect cottage

Our group of five adults loved this property! It’s a quaint house just off the beach. Close to New Buffalo and walking distance to a small grocery and a couple of great restaurants. We will definitely stay here again!

Perfect holiday weekend retreat

This was a perfect, rustic but cozy cottage. I was most interested in a place that had direct access to a beach where our dog could run around. This was absolutely the best place for that! Not only is the beach beautiful, you can walk for miles on it. We really loved this place.

Great beach getaway

The cottage was great. The location is perfect for going to the beach. Just a few stairs down to a great location on lake Michigan. It had everything we needed and we loved staying there, we just wish we had booked a longer stay. The kids loved it too.
