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. Each thoughtfully designed suite has a private entrance, is fully furnished, and is 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.
