About this house rental
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.

This property is the perfect lived-in and loved lake cottage. Everything is eclectic and feels like staying at someone’s loved family spot. It makes the vibe classic, nostalgic and comfy. The paradise walking path to the beach was our favorite part. Like fern gully in real life. My kids (ages 3 & 5) loved finding bugs and singing to the trees the path is well groomed and honestly magical. The space is easy to get to the lake with kiddos. The wagon offered by the owners was a wonderful gift for bringing everything down to the water —you will still need to carry your belongings down many stairs to the actual beach. All worth it for the private beach feel. We often had it all to ourself. I would not take any stars away for my next comments —more of upgrades that would literally make the spot perfect. An outdoor shower is needed and reduce so much sand. To simplify things with kids a privacy curtain or space outside for peeling bathing suits off while also washing yourself off, would be amazing. Additionally a picnic table would allow easier meal times and a spot to enjoy the outdoor deck. Lastly, I would say a gate that connects to the paradise walkway would be ideal, walking around the trash stinks. Overall, this place is a gem, we will be back and loved our time

Not crazy about the parking, they definitely need to get a new lock on the front foor! It was a struggle to get in the house every time! No dishwasher. Could walk down a trail to the neach, but for people in their seventies, steps down to beach too difficult if carrying items! Town is cute, we did go other places to shop, nice restaurants and bakery close by and Warren Dunes ! Good antiqueing! Dogs enjoyed the walks!
