General Information

Awarded Inn Traveler's 2006 Best B&B/Country Inn on the Waterfront in North America! "As seen in Midwest Living magazine March/April, 2004". The Sandpiper Inn, in Union Pier, is the newest Bed & Breakfast in Lake Michigan's Harbor Country. 20 feet from terraced stairs to our private beach on Lake Michigan, the Inn was designed and built as a Bed and Breakfast 10 years ago. It is an adults only facility with luxurious accommodations including verandahs, fireplaces, private baths, jacuzzi tubs, queen-size beds and spectacular views. A full breakfast is provided to our guests, as well as afternoon snacks. Wine and light appetizers are available on weekend evenings. We are open year round to provide an incomparable opportunity to live the many seasons of the Lake. Beach chairs are provided for warming in the sun, bicycles are available to enjoy the country roads and fall colors, our Great Room fireplaces will warm you after a walk in the wonderland of winter at the Lake, or choose a secluded corner of the Library to spend any cozy afternoon. There is nothing more tranquil than the sun and the water's edge. Come, join us at the Sandpiper Inn and walk the shores of Lake Michigan.
