About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Elegant 5BR ALL ENSUITE. Assoc pool, private hot tub. Walk to beach!

We are located in the heart of Union Pier and on the lake side of Red Arrow. (approximately 10 minute walk to the beach)

It is best described as a luxurious home with an emphasis on comfort as well.

The property features a main house and an additional coach house just steps from one another in our private gated courtyard.
The main house has 3 bedrooms (all main level) and each bedroom has its own private bath. Two bedrooms are queens and the primary is a king.

The den/tv room in the main has a sleeper sofa as well. (full)

The kitchen is open to the great room and dining area and a chefs dream in that it has a Wolf range and two full dishwashers. You can cook a special meal and still be with your loved ones! There is a gorgeous wood burning fireplace in the dining area and the great room alike.

There is an additional wet bar area that features an ice maker and wine refrigerator.

One of our favorite spots is the screened in porch just off of the dining room that has an additional table for 8, a large flat screened tv, and two sofas flanking yet another beautiful fireplace.

Stepping outside the porch is a STUNNING courtyard with a fireplace and stone hot tub that has a waterfall feature and a pergola overhead with twinkling lights that is truly just magical at night.


Just beyond the hot tub is the charming carriage house that has another 2 bedrooms with private bathrooms. (both queens....one is main level and the other is in the "basement" but the basement bedroom has almost floor to ceiling windows on two sides and is actually a favorite room of many)


There is another sofa bed in the main living area of the coach house.

The coach house also has a sink, refrigerator, and a Keurig to add to the comfort.


The neighborhood is very sweet and pretty small with just about 20 houses.
PLEASE READ>>>> the association pool is gorgeously landscaped and a special spot but we do have some restrictions...renter/guests may use the pool /poolhouse from Sunday night at 5pm-Friday at 2pm ONLY and 10 people from our home at any one time. Holidays are off limits entirely. We have an emphasis on being good neighbors and we hope that you will too. There are many private pools on our street and the pool is usually very peaceful.
The poolhouse has a bathroom and also a ping pong table.


There are a few walkable restaurants and we are also very close to the new bike trail as well as a very short 5 minute stroll to the farmers market on the weekends.

We do have 3 outside security cameras in the front of the property only.


PLEASE read our reviews as they tell the tale as to why you want to book now.
The house is truly so special, cozy and inviting while still allowing much privacy.
Send us any questions! We are happy to help!

Beautiful and spacious

This gem is nestled in the woods a short distance from the lake. The layout is fun and functional. I had a group of 8 but it easily could have accommodated more. The host is the best communicator I have ever interacted with. She’s incredibly thoughtful and gracious. I highly recommend this stay!

Stunning!

You know that feeling when you unlock the front door, step through the threshold, and feel as if you’re home? That is the feeling we had when we walked into this home—warm and invited. The interior is stunning. The layout is perfect for our four couples, although, it is large enough for five couples to feel comfortable and not cramped. The kitchen is equipped with everything we needed and there is access to the washer/dryer. The exterior grounds are deLIGHTful, from the coziness of the seating around the fireplace to the relaxing hot tub. We would like to thank the owners who were so very responsive to our questions and needs. No item of comfort is overlooked by these hosts—down to the surprise left in the kitchen for us! We are excited to make plans to return. Thanks so much.Sherry W.

Amazing property!

We spent the weekend at this property for my sister‘s bachelorette party, we had 14 of us staying at the house and we were all able to sleep very comfortably. The property was clean and beautiful, an excellent place to spend the weekend! Amy was extremely responsive and answered all of our questions very quickly. The directions around the house on how to use the sound system and check in and check out process were easy to understand. We absolutely love this place and would be happy to stay here again.

Wonderful property and host!!!

My family and I enjoyed every moment of our stay at this property. Everything exceeded expectations. We loved the outdoor space including the fireplace and hot tub. Having two houses with each bedroom having its on en suite was really nice. The layout worked well for our family gathering allowing everyone to be together but not feel crowded at all. The kitchen was fully equipped and the amenities added to our comfort. The house was immaculate and it was a quick walk to Lake Michigan Beach. Amy was a wonderful host, very helpful throughout the rental process. Communication was fantastic. We look forward to returning.

This rental property stands out for its comfort and feeling of home. The beds and multiple seating areas provide optimal lounging and restful sleep! The front porch swing was a favorite spot. The home is well designed and the thoughtfully decorated. The separate coach house offered space to spread out, although the five of us would have had plenty of space in the main house. It is a nice walk to the beach, but there is parking available as well. Beach is nice and sandy and the Lake Michigan waves add to the ambience. Communication with Amy was great and she accommodated last minute changes to our schedule. Will definitely be back!

Girls weekend to celebrate 50

This was the absolute perfect weekend!! We had 10 women to celebrate a friend's 50th. This house could not have been more perfect for our girls weekend. Quick drive to wineries and New Buffalo and we could walk to the beach. While we had dinner reservations to go out, we chose to stay in and enjoy pizza, wine and conversation on the incredibly cozy covered porch. The place was decorated and furnished with such great taste. It accommodated all of us so comfortably. I would highly recommend. The host was very responsive to all questions and easy to work with. We will be back.

Beds were very comfortable, linens were plentiful and amenities were just right. The kitchen was fully stocked and there were detailed instructions for things like playing music on the sound system throughout the house and enjoying the beautiful courtyard.

Great getaway

We had a great week here! The house is beautiful, very well maintained, and laid out so that everyone can be together and still have their own space. It's a short drive - or maybe a bike ride - to Townline beach and into New Buffalo. If you're willing to walk a bit, you can get to a very good little bakery (Black Currant Bakehouse) on foot. Communication from the hosts was great and they were very easy to work with. We got a lot of use out of the association pool which is right behind the house as well as the private hot tub. We had 7 adults, 1 teenager, 1 child and 1 infant and didn't feel crowded at all.

Really great house!

Our family of 4 adults and two small children loved this house. Everyone had their own bedroom and bathroom. There was a fully equipped kitchen, screened in porch, beach towels/chairs/umbrella. There were board games and TVs. The front porch has a swing, the back patio area has ample seating. It was just a great place for us to stay. The communal pool was a 2 minute walk, the beach was about a 12 minute walk. Restaurants and grocery were a 5 minute drive. I would rent this house again in a heartbeat. It was beautiful and comfortable, and Amy (the host) was responsive and helpful! Can’t wait until next summer!

You must visit Stone's Throw!

Our family of ten had the privilege of staying at Stone's Throw for Thanksgiving, utilizing the five lovely bedrooms and their respective and well-appointed attached bathrooms. Amy was readily available for questions and was incredibly accommodating and flexible. This property differs from so many I've stayed in due to the thorough planning and meticulous care that has gone into all aspects of the furnishings and upkeep. There were seasonal decorations placed around the living areas, further enhancing the already stunning decor. The kitchen lacked for nothing that was needed to prepare a traditional Thanksgiving feast. There was even a gravy boat and turkey baster! And how often can you actually use the fireplaces in a rental, much less avail yourselves of the woodpile just outside the door? With three dishwashers and a huge supply of glasses, plates, and utensils, there was never a wait for a load to finish. Cold weather and a dusting of snow only served to enhance the appeal of the enormous hot tub, especially at night under the many strands of fairy lights illuminating the patio. I do hope we'll have an opportunity to visit this property again some day!

This is our second time back to the property and just love it. It’s on a quiet tree lined street and the Fall colors were amazing. The property is so elegant and love the cozy feel of a home - beautifully decorated and the beds are so comfortable. Amy, the host, is the best of the best and so communicative. Some of my favorites at the house - screened in porch with fireplace, the kitchen (fully stocked), front porch swing, the beds, and the backyard. Truly a remarkable property and a fantastic location.
