Escape to Woodland Paradise, a serene getaway nestled on 13 acres of wooded beauty in Union Pier. This stunning property features a main house, guest house, heated pool, kids’ playground, and scenic river access, offering the perfect blend of relaxation and adventure.

Step inside the main house, where vaulted ceilings and an open floor plan create an airy, welcoming space. The living room boasts a cozy fireplace and a comfortable seating area with a TV. The dining room seats eight, with a breakfast nook overlooking the backyard and pool, plus additional seating at the island. The chef’s kitchen is designed for gathering, allowing multiple guests to cook and prepare meals together. The primary suite on the main floor features a king-size bed, a luxurious ensuite with a soaking tub and walk-in shower, and plenty of space to unwind. A half bathroom is conveniently located off the kitchen.

Upstairs, two bedrooms share a Jack and Jill bathroom with a tub/shower combo. One bedroom features a bunk bed with a full bottom and twin top, while the second offers a queen bed. The finished basement provides additional entertainment, including a pool table, dartboard, basketball game, toys, a cozy seating area, and a laundry room with a full washer and dryer.

The guest house offers an open-concept living, dining, and kitchen area with brand-new cabinets and countertops. It features two bedrooms and a full bath with a walk-in shower—one bedroom with a queen bed and the other with bunk beds.

Between the main and guest house, the beautiful heated pool is surrounded by plenty of lounge seating and an outdoor dining area, perfect for al fresco meals. The playground offers a fun space for kids, while the expansive yard and wooded trails invite exploration. The property also includes an electric car charger and generator for added convenience.

Located just minutes from downtown Union Pier, Three Oaks, and New Buffalo, guests have easy access to boutique shops, restaurants, wineries, breweries, and art galleries. Town Line Beach is just two miles away, while Warren Dunes State Park offers hiking, towering sand dunes, and beautiful Lake Michigan shoreline.

Amazing property!
What a great” compound” for a family. Plenty of places to sleep and things to do! Safe environment for all ages. The guest house is wonderful. It has just everything you need. The pool was plenty warm, and there were games and rafts for everyone. Close to town and a short drive to the beach. We will be back.

Truly A Woodland Paradise!
We had a great family vacation at this wonderful property. We hosts welcomed us with a sign, a bottle of champagne, ingredients for s’mores and a giant container of snacks which we enjoyed. The house and guest house are clean, well appointed, and fully equipped. The playground, soccer field and swimming pool were enjoyed by all. We had great weather so we did not have much time to enjoy the pool table and other fun things in the game room. We hope to come back!

A relaxing visit in a lovely, well cared for home
Best welcoming “basket” ever left for us! The Aqua owner met me to check in and thoroughly walk through the property. The listing itself is very exact to what you have for the week. The grounds are spacious and relaxing. Am grateful that I found this place so quickly! I would absolutely stay there again.

An amazing getaway
This home was amazing for our Girls Getaway! The house is perfect for 10 adults. It was the cleanest rental home I have ever stayed in. The welcome package was unbelievable. In all the homes we have stayed at we’ve never experienced anything like that. We spent most of our time hanging out in the kitchen and dining room of the main house having cocktails, playing games and chatting. It was really nice to have the kitchen in the guest house also. The guest house was the perfect location for the early risers as they were able to enjoy their coffee and make breakfast while the rest of us slept in during the early morning hours in the main house. There’s even an office in the main house that was great for a couple of people in our group who had to jump on conference calls. The weather was still a bit chilly but we were still able to check out the beach which was just a few minutes from the house. The grounds of this home are beautiful and there’s so much space for throwing a ball or kicking the soccer ball in the yard. There’s trails to walk in the woods near the river (my kids would love it). Also, the Round Barn and St. Julian Tasting Rooms are walkable from the house although we drove since it was a bit chilly. We enjoyed lunch at Stray Dog in New Buffalo and cocktails at Journeyman Distillery in Three Oaks. Both were just a short drive from the house. There’s so many things to see and do in the area and we can’t wait to return to enjoy the pool, the beach and the area this Summer. Tonya and Henry at Aqua Vacation Rentals were great and answered questions we had in a timely manner. Henry even started the fire pit for us which was a treat since we really weren’t sure how to get it started. We truly enjoyed this home and look forward to returning to explore even more!
