Thank you!The house was nice and clean and the location was perfect on the lake. The hot tub was wonderful, even though the weather only allowed a short time to try it out. The house was very pet friendly with plenty of room for our travel kennel. Thank you again!!

Wonderful Stay - Peaceful & Tranquil

We had a great weekend away at Mona’s lovely property. It is close to great wineries and restaurants, but just relaxing at the house with the lake, fire pit and tranquil scenery is wonderful as well. Hope to come back soon! Thanks for a great stay!

This place was perfection for our family of 5 and pup! The property is something out of a fairytale. The lake, the hot tub, the fire pit and the cozy beds made it a stay that will be hard to top! Very close to some great dog/kid friendly brewery’s and restaurants too which was nice. We’ll definitely be back! Thank you for sharing your home with us Nora! :)

I enjoyed my stay here. The house is nice and has great views of woods and the lake. It is not in Union Pier, but 20-25 mins outside of Union Pier and Benton Harbor. Had a great stay and Mona is super communicative and helpful.

Rustic getaway close to Chicago

This place is absolutely amazing, smack dab in the middle of some of Michigans finest wineries. Mona is very hospitable and very attentive to detail, the lake house is amazing. The decor and well kept property will have you feeling so relaxed and comfortable, my wife and I stayed for Memorial Day weekend and enjoyed ourselves so much we are already talking about going back. I highly recommend this place, you will not be disappointed.

Much needed get away

Highly recommended house in a beautiful setting. The home is quiet, and peaceful. The lake is beautiful and the water is clean. A great place for a romantic get away. Lots to see and do, winery's, national parks and good restaurants. The owner provides great service and great information about the area. I will definitively consider visiting again.

Amazing winter wonderland!

Beautiful winter views and relaxing environment! This home was great! It was well stocked, clean and very comfortable! The hot tub was very clean and had great views of the frozen lake! The owner Nora was very easy to work with and very accommodating! We even had the opportunity to try our hand at ice fishing, which was a nice surprise! Highly recommend! Close to good restaurants, breweries, and wineries!!

Our family of six enjoyed all that Sanctuaire offers. From the cozy beds and relaxing spaces inside, to the dock, boats, hot tub and amazing views outside. The host, Nora, was very helpful and responsive, before, during and after our stay. Pretty much all you need, and more, is provided to make Sanctuaire feel like home, away from home. The thoughtful touches, like soaps, shampoo, extra toilet paper and towels were appreciated. Our dogs did not want to leave, and neither did we. Host even left us a thoughtful note and sparkling cider for our stay. This place is within a mile or more from several great wineries. I loved that there wasn't a shortage of towels, linens or pillows. Host provides free Wifi and coffee too. We look forward to returning to this beautiful house again sometime, for more celebratory moments.

Location

Excellent private location on the lake. Enjoyed taking the canoe out. Within a few miles of some very good wineries. Our dog loved running around on the property. There were several parks where we could take him hiking within a half hour. Our only problem was we could not get several of our favorite TV channels without subscribing to them. However that just gave us more time to read.

Perfect Anniversary getaway

Wish we could have stayed even longer. Good communication with Mona & speedy correction of concerns or answers to questions. Loved swimming in the private lake, or just sitting on the dock. Close to multiple activities of choice, perfect scenery of vineyards & orchirds on the drives. Wish we could have used the upper deck, but understand rationale-- same type of cocerns with my childhood home. Would love to see the addition of a railing on the stairs down to the lake.

Fall Family Peaceful Retreat

Lovely home. Stunning location. We were very comfortable. Well appointed kitchen. Great linens and pillows. Cool woodsy hot tub with changing colorer lights. Fabulous correspondence with owners. Easy check in and out. Highly recommend morning coffee with sunrise on the dock. Note: the upper balcony attached to master bedroom is not accessible - our only disappointment with the property. Perfect for all ages - our group ranged from 25 to 55. Loved the wineries, beaches, dunes, trails and fun shops nearby! Mona is a delightful host and gave us some excellent recommendations for food and fun!

A week of family fun

Had a lovely 7 day family vacation. The oldest 81 and the youngest 9. The location afforded relaxation for everyone. The "Welcome Gift"... a complimentary bottle of wine was a lovely gesture. The house was well appointed, the pantry and spice cupboard stocked. The four seasons room was spacious for dining and family game nights. The beds were comfortable and plenty of towels were provided. The hot tub was clean, the lake calm and peaceful. Beach towels for everyone was also very nice. It was fun to get out in the boat and catch a few fish with my folks and paddling with my son in the canoe was awesome.. Overall... A great time and a great location!

Perfect retreat

I went solo with my dog for a retreat and this was a perfect spot -I look forward to returning with the family. Nestled in the woods in the wine country and central to everything the house sits on a small private lake on an acre and a half lot. It is secluded and quiet. The house is eloquently equipped and could easily support a family of 8. Everything you could do outdoors is considered from fishing to boating to games like horse shoes. The hot tub is spectacular; there is a grand stone fireplace inside and large fire pit outside. The owner considered everything from a thoughtful appointed fully functioning kitchen to a surround sound system. It’s a magical spot. Well cared for. Owner was very helpful.

Please be clear if you rent this property that you will be in Baroda Michigan not Union Pier. It is in wine country and a good distance from the heart of Union Pier. It is on a small tranquil lake. The property is very wooded and pretty but tons of bugs. The host was easy to reach but the listing I saw had a Union Pier address close to Lake Michigan and I found this very misleading. This needs to be fixed.
