In a secluded setting, our cottage is surrounded by tall trees and set far back from all roads. It is difficult to find and we like it that way. The master bedroom (with a king-size bed) on the first floor, has a door that opens to a large deck and screened-in gazebo. The adjacent living room has a vaulted ceiling and a wood-burning fireplace. Our fully equipped kitchen with custom cabinets, granite countertops, and stainless steel appliances is located between the living room and cozy dining area with large windows and a patio door that leads to the spacious deck and piped gas grill. On the second floor is the 2nd bedroom with a queen-size bed. This bedroom and adjacent bath are private with views of a huge front yard sheltered by 100-year-old tall trees. The 2nd floor also has a sleeping loft with a queen-size futon sofa that can sleep 2\. All ceilings on the second floor soar to 12 ft. Our deck is equipped with a large natural gas Weber grill and a screened-in gazebo with dining area. There is also additional seating outside the gazebo for a more open feeling. Our deck has an outdoor shower with hot and cold water and a fire pit with even more seating. The setting is private with only two neighbors nearby; one in a single-family home and the other in a cottage identical to our own adjoined to ours. We think our cottage is wonderful, but please keep in mind that this is NOT A PARTY HOUSE and is much too small for a wedding, a family reunion, or a party with a large group of people. Our cottage is only 1,005 sq. ft., that's not very large. Also, keep in mind that we only have parking for TWO cars. We have a SIX-person maximum occupancy, this number includes children. When you first arrive at our cottage you may see other empty parking spaces in our parking area. The parking lot is shared and only TWO of the available spaces are ours. The other parking spaces belong to our neighbors and are NOT ours to give away. At times there may be parking available for a third car, however, it will be necessary to check with our neighbors prior to your arrival. We cannot guarantee a third parking space. Please keep in mind that our absolute MAXIMUM IS SIX PEOPLE, WHICH INCLUDES CHILDREN. Getting back to our beach, it is less than 350 paces from our cottage. Once you walk through the McKinley Beach gate and are at the beach stairs, and it is only 43 steps from the top stair to sand. The stairs are wide, with handrails, and are broken up by two landings--one of them is large enough to have seating for six people. Once on the beach, look around you. You have the magnificence of Lake Michigan in front of you and in back of you, the sylvan charm of a wooded setting. Even though it is a small, public beach, it usually feels private and is one of the loveliest and most family-friendly beaches in Harbor Country. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach loungers - Beach towels ### Ski -

Their AC is awesome and the house always stays cool inside, even on really hot days. The outdoor shower is great for rinsing off after a day at the beach so you don't bring sand in the house. Union Pier is a charming little beach town and New Buffalo is just down the road if you are looking for more restaurants and things to do. Highly recommend! ##### Kate M.

The cottage was fantastic and had everything we needed to make it a great weekend. Next time we are definitely going to stay for longer! Thanks to our gracious hosts Rosemary and Michael for sharing their lovely cottage. ##### Sue M. Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Terri S. Aug 3, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### McKinley Beach Vibe This property was close to the beach and great for walking to other areas of Union Pier. The house was neat and clean and the kitchen offered updated appliances with a handy ice maker. It was perfect for our family of two adult couples and a 4 year old. A bonus is the deck with an outside shower. I would recommend this property! ##### Terri S. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lydia M. Jun 10, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy This is probably one of the most well equipped properties we have stayed at. The property is cute and cozy with great proximity to the quaint downtown and access to the tiny public beach. Rosemary met us at check in to give us a very thorough tour and the keys. Rosemary is so very sweet and left nothing in question about our stay. Would stay again and recommend to others! ##### Lydia M. Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alycia A.

Rosemary is such a kind, thoughtful, and caring host. The cottage is so well-appointed. Location is amazing. Proximity to gorgeous beach (just steps away!) and short drive to Indiana Dunes Natl Park. Communication with hosts was terrific. Loved the outdoor shower, beach equipment, and screened porch. ##### Alycia A.
