Love the decor & very comfy! Everything we needed!

Krystal S2025-08-14

We absolutely loved this house - it was so charming and on a very quiet street. The kitchen was well stocked and the beds were comfortable. We also loved the newly remodeled bathrooms. I think our favorite part though was the backyard and deck. The fire pit was the perfect place to wrap the day… and the swings were such a nice touch.

The Bright Side house was the perfect spot for our family trip to Union Pier. The location is great and the house is very clean and cozy with a well-stocked kitchen.

We (5 Millennial high school best friends) stayed at the Bright Side for a girls weekend and absolutely adored it. The space is highly functional, beautifully decorated, and stocked with books and materials for crafts (!!). It was within ten minutes walk of Union Pier restaurants and shops, and a quick 7 minutes drive from New Buffalo. Would absolutely recommend.

Our extended family enjoyed our stay at this charming home. The window air conditioners cooled the house despite high temperatures, leaving enough windows to open in early cool mornings to enjoy the breezes. Of course, we didn’t spend much time indoors! The nearby public beach is a one mile walk away and the outdoor deck at the house was a great space. We included four children, two age five and two younger. They enjoyed the large backyard and greatly appreciated the toys and art supplies. The kid’s bedroom was very comfortable for the older two, but narrow staircase with no railing was not as accommodating for the younger ones. Kitchen is small but well-appointed. The basement door is tough to open, but just push hard!

They’ve created a darling home to share. Very comfortable for my 6 girlfriends. Lovely outdoor seating. Bathrooms and beds were great, and for once, a vacation home had lots of towels! There is no dishwasher and no access to laundry. Who cares? It’s just great! Roll up your sleeves and wash your dishes old school.
