About This Home

As of May 2025

Amazing opportunity to own the classic vintage cottage, Bonny Dune, in the heart of Union Pier just 2 blocks from the beach. This 3-bed,1.5 bath, 3-season, cottage has been smartly updated while retaining a true lake cottage feel. This ideal cottage getaway sits on an oversized lot with plenty of room to expand and add additional outdoor amenities. Huge yard for outdoor games with firepit for roasting hotdogs and smores. This has been a very successful rental cottage and can be sold with or without 2025 reservations. Leave your car keys at home. This home is close to everything in Harbor Country and is just blocks away from Union Pier shops, restaurants and beach equipment rental. Can also be sold with most furnishings so you can enjoy immediately and/or keep renting if that's your plan. Some new windows were just recently installed. Shown by appointment only.
