THE SPACE
"Sumptuous," "Elegant," "Rich"—these words come to mind upon setting foot in The Dakota, an exquisitely designed 4BR-2.5BA home nestled on 1½ acres in the serene woods of Union Pier, less than one mile from Lake Michigan’s beaches. Completely renovated in 2014, this stunning property features cathedral ceilings, a Great Room with a stone fireplace, Brazilian Cherry (espresso-stained) hardwood floors throughout—with white oak in the bedrooms—and luxurious yet comfortable furnishings in every room.
The spacious kitchen is highlighted by a large granite island, high-end appliances, and a stylish bench-seat breakfast nook. A large, cozy porch with wall-to-wall windows and fashionable couches, chairs, and a "picnic table" provides you with great views of the massive backyard and surrounding trees, making it a relaxing oasis to sip coffee or your favorite wine.
Speaking of the backyard, it’s perfect for entertaining, with a fenced, seasonal pool (with an outdoor shower and bathroom), a covered wooden deck, an outside patio (with a patio set), an eight-person hot tub, a barbecue grill, a huge lawn, and a fire pit.
Back inside, all four bedrooms are large, super-comfortable, and professionally styled, and three have private decks. The Dakota can sleep up to nine.

About the area
Union Pier, Michigan is a charming beach town and vacation destination situated between the Lake Michigan shore and the Galien River only 5 miles from the Indiana state border. Union Pier, with a collection of neighboring communities like New Buffalo, Lakeside, Sawyer and Harbert, make up what’s known as Harbor Country Michigan. Established by John Gowdy, a settler from New York State, in 1861, Union Pier was initially set up as a sawmill to process timber and ship the material to Chicago. Located only 75 miles outside of Chicago, this area of Harbor Country is nicknamed the “Chicago Hamptons” for its abundance of lakeside retreats and city visitors seeking summer vacation memories. Book a nostalgic stay along the shores of Lake Michigan with a Union Pier vacation.
