À propos de cet hébergement

Belle retraite du lac Michigan à Union Pier, Michigan

Cette belle maison toute l’année a plus de 2000 pieds carrés d’espace de vie exquis et se trouve à quelques pas des rives du lac Michigan. Conçu dans le style Prairie de Frank Lloyd Wright, il comprend de grands espaces et des pièces latérales confortables. Les portes françaises séparent les espaces de vie et le vitrail accentue les fenêtres. Montez sur l'un des ponts pour profiter des jardins colorés qui entourent cette cour privée d'un demi-acre. Aucun raccourci n'a été pris pour meubler la maison, alliant le confort de Crate et Barrell aux trésors des antiques repaires locaux et des galeries d'art à proximité. Détendez-vous les soirées d'hiver avec douche à vapeur et foyer au bois après le ski de fond ou les visites de vignobles locaux. L'automne propose des pistes cyclables, une cueillette de pommes, des feux de joie et le football de Notre-Dame à proximité. Pilotez un cerf-volant ou jouez à la pétanque sur la plage au printemps et flottez sur un radeau ou un surf dans le lac par un chaud après-midi d'été. La maison est idéale pour passer du temps en famille ou des escapades romantiques en toute saison.

Sports nautiques: Bien que notre famille profite de la vie simple faite de sable et d’eau, nous reconnaissons que certaines personnes aiment faire du bateau. Il y a une marina à New Buffalo, à 8 km au sud de notre propriété, qui offre des quais pour votre bateau. Des jet-skis sont disponibles à la location à Michigan City, dans l'Indiana, et le magasin de bateaux de New Buffalo loue des canoës et des kayaks. Si vous apportez votre propre petit bateau, vous pouvez le ranger dans le dunegrass près du bas des escaliers pendant que vous louez. Nous avons des radeaux, un kayak, des planches de boogie et des jouets de plage pour votre usage dans notre garage.

Hors saison ou plaisir sous la pluie: nous ne sommes jamais à la recherche d'une nouvelle galerie d'art ou d'un magasin d'antiquités à explorer dans le comté de Harbour. La ville de Michigan City au sud a un grand centre commercial pour les clients de votre groupe. East est Three Oaks, connu pour le théâtre Acorn et une nouvelle distillerie, et au nord, Bridgman, qui abrite le parc d'État Warren Dunes et le célèbre «Tower Hill». Ils ont des pistes de ski de fond bien entretenues, des sentiers de randonnée balisés et un toboggan en luge en hiver. Des fermes de pommes et de fruits sont disséminées dans tout le comté pour la cueillette de baies et plusieurs établissements vinicoles régionaux offrent des visites et des dégustations. Il existe des massages et des spas de jour à New Buffalo et des restaurants pour tous les goûts. Vous aurez besoin de plus d'un voyage dans la région du comté de Harbour pour tout faire.

Great Winter Getaway

Warm, welcoming home with amenities like a hot tub, steam shower and big wood-burning fireplace made our stay perfect! We may just make this winter destination a habit!

Guestbook Comment

Spent a wonderful weekend at this private, spacious, comfortable and charming cottage, set in the midst of a lovely English cottage garden. The home is on a quiet street with a gorgeous beach a short walk away. Very well equipped with all the comforts of home ... we loved it and are already planning our return trip!

Beautiful Home

We just returned from a weekend at Mellow Yellow and everyone loved it. The pictures of the house do not do it justice on its actually size. It's quite large and we had a group of 10-everyone had plenty of room to stretch out. We especially loved the openness of the kitchen area and main living area. The sun rooms are gorgeous and peaceful. The deck is large and there's a gas grill that we used to cookout one day. The side yard is beautiful, well maintained and very large for playing games etc! The association beach is beautiful!! It's also a private beach so it wasn't too crowded even on a beautiful summer Saturday. Mary Pat has toys in the garage (kayaks, beach floats, etc) if that's something you would want. It's a short 5 minute drive to town-there's a delicious restaurant at the end of the road called Timothy's if you want a nice night out! The home has truly everything you could need! Mary Pat was quick to answer questions. We all will enjoy the memories we made there!

We missed Mellow Yellow!

We returned to Mellow Yellow for our summer family vacation and had the most amazing time. The house is lovely with plenty of space to relax along with the most gorgeous landscaping. The owners are very gracious and keep the kitchen stocked with everything you could need. We spent most days on the private beach which is only a few blocks away. We can’t wait to come back!

Family vacation in Union Pier

What a wonderful location, property and amenities. Kitchen was stocked with anything you could need, the beds and bedding were comfortable, and the landscaping on the property was beautiful. A short walk to the beach, and they had wagon and some beach toys that made it much easier. The owners were approachable and kind. We didn’t have any issues while we were there, but my impression was that if we did, they would have done what they could to make it better immediately.

Wintry perfection near Lake Michigan

Our family thoroughly enjoyed this home for a winter getaway. From cozy wood fires in the great room, to working (+ bird watching!) in the sun room, steam showers after a winter walk to the lake, or gathering around the big dining table for meals, this home was comfortable from the first moment we walked in. This is the best home we've rented in all the years we've been coming to Harbor Country! We so enjoyed it and the memories we made while here!

Wonderful

We really enjoyed our recent stay at Mellow Yellow! The house was very spacious and clean, lots of room for our party of 6 to spread out. A beautiful yard and large relaxing deck with a gas grill. The neighborhood is quiet and peaceful. Mary Pat was responsive and helpful with any questions or concerns we had. She was very thorough and accurate in her description of the area and property. The house was well stocked and comfortable. The kitchen has plenty of pots, pans, and cooking essentials, but I wouldn't count on spices, oils, etc other than salt and pepper. We traveled with our two sons (2 and 4), there were plenty of sand and water toys to keep them happy. There is an older wagon, which was a lifesaver getting all the toys down to the beach. The beach is a short walk away and was wonderful. It was busy on the weekend, but still plenty of space. Union Pier is a nice area, we loved eating at Nani's and getting coffee at The Black Currant. We highly recommend this area and property.

This was a perfect home for a 4 day girls get away. The house is spacious and has all of the comforts of home. It is a short walk to the beautiful beach to enjoy during the day and for watching the gorgeous sunset in the evening. The home is also a short drive to many fun activities - wineries, shopping etc.

Great property, really fun time.

We spent 3 nights around New Year's Eve here, and we had a blast. Very spacious, plenty of room for a party of eight. Huge yard, nice decks, barbecue. Fireplace with stocked firewood made a big compliment to the already awesome house. Dining area and kitchen are very convenient, everything was well stocked, and we found all kinds of kitchen utensils, appliances, and dishes that possibly needed. The best feature, and to our pleasant surprise was the entertainment system with built in speakers in the ceiling. It could be easily hooked up to a laptop, or another device, and makes for a great party. Overall, excellent stay, and would definitely come back again.

Just Outstanding

Mellow Yellow was just as advertised. Beautiful, well taken care of home. Very clean and easy to live in. My wife and I were there with two of our daughters and their husbands. Plenty of room for all of us, large bedrooms were as advertised and the walk to the lake was about 300 yards. Beautiful beach and within walking distance to a couple of markets. Owners took very good care of this home and the kitchen was well stocked. We went out for groceries but everything we needed for prep work was in the kitchen. Good quality stuff. Deck at rear was large and a great place to sit out. We have done several VRBO sites in the past and while they were generally good, Mellow Yellow was easily the best. Mary Pat could not have been more easy to deal with. Will definitely rent again.

Beautiful home and beautiful area!

The house was in the most beautiful location! So close to the beach and in a beautiful neighborhood. We had a wonderful stay. The only reason I am giving 4 stars and not 5 is because the house was not cleaned when we arrived. However, once I called Mary Pat and informed her of the issue she was very accommodating, apologetic, and ended up making it up to us. I couldn't ask for a better hostess and we will definitely stay here again if we are in the area. It's a great home, and I wish we could have stayed longer!

Charaming, airy house with beautiful landscaping

The house has very appealing architecture, 3 big roomy areas to relax and visit in, including a beautiful sun room. The house is very clean and bright. There are two smallish but adequate bedrooms with a Jack & Jill bathroom in between, and a much larger master bedroom & bathroom. There is a loft with 3 beds for the little ones, although the steps going up to it are kind of like a ladder with steps instead of rungs. We put my two grandsons, 4 & 7, up there and there were no mishaps. It is extremely well provisioned with all the kitchen plates, silverware, pots & pans, etc. you could ever use. This example is followed throughout the house with every drawer containing a pair of scissors, and other odds & ends you might need. Mary Pat is kind and helpful and will respond to text messages promptly. There is a small grocery/general store and a hardware store, etc. about a 10 minute drive away. I don't know if there are other points of interest in the area because we spent all our time at the beach. Overall it is an excellent rental, we had a blast, and I will certainly recommend it to our friends. Dan

An amazing stay!

My friends and I stayed here recently for a girls' weekend and had a great time. The location in Union Pier is wonderful and the vibe of the area is very laid back and friendly. It doesn't seem like a subdivision or develpment of homes, but rather a neighborhood. Also, unlike a lot of rental homes, this place felt very "homey." A lot of nice decorative touches made it special. Take note that to the side of the house there is a half lot of yard for games such as bags, sprinkler, etc. This is great combined with the wrap around porch! There's a sunroom that is newly finished and the hot tub is now outside (pics don't show this, just an fyi). Definitely an improvement to the home. During our stay, unfortunately the hot tub was not working. This was a bummer because it was one of the features that drew us to the home. Owner tried best to see that it was fixed, but we were indeed partially refunded for this. Much to our surprise, the weather was nice enough to beach it most days so we didn't miss it as much as we would have if the weather wasn't as nice. We would definitely consider going back for a future girl's trip! This would also be great for families, too. House was very accommodating for kids. Older kids would love to sleep in the loft space!

Wow!

I rented this beautiful home for a family get-together, and I couldn't have chosen a better rental. This home is gorgeous! The many skylights and windows let lots of natural light in, and allow a great view of the surrounding yard. The interior is very nicely decorated in a casual, eclectic way. The beach is just a short walk away. Our only comment would be to upgrade the t.v. to something a little larger, or possibly put another t.v. in the living room. The t.v. in the family room was a little small for a group of six to watch a movie on. We would definitely rent again!

Annual Ladies' Retreat

From the moment we walked through the front door, we knew that we had found the PERFECT place to spend our annual girls' weekend!! The spacious, open floor plan was ideal for gathering to cook, tell stories, play games, laugh, and reminisce. The bedrooms were tastefully decorated and the beds were very comfortable. The large deck was a terrific place to spend a sunny, spring day. The hot tub was such a wonderful, added bonus after a long day of shopping the outlet malls or enjoying the casino. The hot tub was repaired and in perfect working order. The girls have already been commenting that this is where they want to spend next year's retreat! Thank you Mary Pat for sharing your home with us. And thank you & your husband for repairing the hot tub in time for our stay! We will definitely be back!!

Beautiful Home

My family just spent a full week at this home in Union Pier. It's absolutely lovely, peaceful, and the pictures don't begin to do it justice. The great room with huge harvest table was where we spent most of our time, but the family room in the back of the house was closed off with french doors for the TV watchers. Huge fenced yard, fabulous gardens...everything we had hoped the house would be. There was another review mentioning problems with the hot tub. We found the hot tub to heat up very well and quickly. It is older, and the jets are not as strong, but we enjoyed it none-the-less. The beach is a good couple of streets over from the house and not visible from the house, but we had no difficulty walking back and forth with small children. If you are planning to use the loft for adults, you may want to re-think that. It is only accessed by a very old ladder. Too hard for the adults in our party to get up and down. But for school age kids, or teens, it was just fine. Overall, we'd love to come back again and we had a wonderful, restful trip!!

Qui vous reçoit ?

Vous êtes reçu par Mary Pat Bay

I grew up in South Bend, Indiana and spent my childhood summers with my family renting various cottages in the Union Pier area. My parents had nine children and wanted an area that allowed for a sand walk in to the lake instead of rocks and not too many steps back up to the house at the end of a long day. My life took me to Iowa but I convinced my husband and children that Union Pier was worth the 225 mile drive... one visit and they were sold! We rented the home for 20 years before moving into it ourselves full time in retirement. we now rent only when we are traveling but still love sharing our home and the area with others.

Pourquoi avoir choisi cet hébergement ?

This home offered our family of five children the best of both worlds.. a chance for the children to all be together in the open living room, or enough cozy private areas to get a little distance from siblings when that might be needed... The three girls adore the loft space to spread out their messes (barbies years ago, now clothes and computers) and the boys love the TV room to set up the Wii ( we can close off the french doors and not even hear their chaos :). The little area of "Gordon Beach" is one of the few where many of the homes remain the original cottages from the 40's and with less than 100 homes in the association our beach is almost one of the least crowded in the area.

Quels sont les atouts de cet hébergement ?

The large side yard has been ideal for volleyball and badmitten, bocce, snow forts and even large family parties when my family of origin is able to join us and to revisit their childhood memories. With the Gordon Beach Inn just up the block my siblings and their families book there and we serve large picnic style meals in the yard for all 50 of us... As many of us as can gather at the home every december to celebrate the holiday together... 24 years of that tradition so far...
