Michigan ’s town of Union Pier is all about the quiet life. In the 1870s, lumber was the areas chief economic source, and most of it was shipped to Chicago from the Union Pier—hence the name of the town. Restored buildings, antique shops, galleries, restaurants—all can be found along the Union Pier countryside, just beckoning the tired, stressed, traveler to come and enjoy the fresh air and calming community. That’s what so many vacationers found here as early as 1900. Nature surely is bountiful here at Union Pier! The Riviera Gardens is a unique shop, offering perennials, bushes, and unusual trees that will complement your home landscaping. In autumn, visit the Dinges Farm, and choose your own pumpkins—the kids will love that! Does your family enjoy blueberry muffins for breakfast? You can pick the berries fresh yourself at The Blueberry Patch. The Tabor Hill Winery, the Lemon Creek Winery, and the Heart of the Vineyard Winery provide interesting tours, fruit picking and a great lunch! Speaking of food, after a nice nap back at the bed and breakfast, you’ll be ready for a delicious dinner at one of our memorable restaurants. There’s Moxie’s, Miller’s Country House, Brewster’s, and the Red Arrow Roadhouse, just to name a few.
