Experience the distinctive charm and contemporary comfort of The Union Pier Summer House, a unique retreat in the heart of Harbor Country. Originally built in the late 1940s and thoughtfully renovated in 1987, this property channels the essence of the 19th-century boarding houses once popular along the lakeshore. With its Italianate Victorian-inspired architecture, the house features graceful balconies, gingerbread gables, and spacious decks, showcasing the craftsmanship of a bygone era.
 
A 2020 redesign by Hibler Design Studio brought a fresh, modern update to the entire property, which includes five luxury suites. Offering a total of 8 bedrooms, 5 kitchens, and 5 beautifully renovated bathrooms, The Union Pier Summer House can comfortably host up to 25 guests.
 
Each thoughtfully designed suite has a private entrance, is fully furnished, and equipped with luxury linens, modern kitchens, tankless water heaters, individually controlled heating and cooling, and upgraded bathrooms that ensure a sumptuous experience for every stay.
 
The outdoor spaces invite relaxation with a landscaped yard, an outdoor shower for post-beach cleanup, and a fire pit patio area. Whether grilling a meal or enjoying the serene night sky, the setting is ideal for unwinding after a day spent at the beach or exploring nearby attractions.

Gregory Jan 10, 2025

Excellent, cute, warm, small but efficient space. Would definitely visit again, and the host was present when needed, but left us to enjoy our family time. Would definitely recommend The Union Pier Summer House.
