Comfortable and convenient to the Ludington area

Loved the property because it was roomy and put you at ease. The selection of board games was great, and we enjoyed some of the books as well. The wheelchair ramp was excellent and provided great access. There was some clutter in the house, but this actually helped to make us not so nervous to enjoy it to its limit.

Thanksgiving Trip

Such a charming home to relax in during our trip to MI. Our favorite spot was the long dining table room! We laughed, we cried and we made so many wonderful memories! So many places to sleep! Even took a mini road trip to Canada and the kids were missing this house for two days. We played the SORRY board game every day we were there! The host was extremely quick in replying with all of our questions and very accommodating! Nice location.

About the host

Hosted by Becky Alway

Becky and Rob Alway, along with their two daughters, have lived in western Michigan all of their lives. Like the Reverie Retreat, they also live in a historic home just a few blocks away.

Why they chose this property

The Reverie Retreat was built in 1909 and originally owned by John and Catherine Mack. Mr. Mack owned a general store in Scottville, in partnership with Justus Stearns, one of the most famous lumber barons of the Great Lakes region.

What makes this property unique

The Edwardian style house is one of three "mansions" that were built in Scottville in the early 20th century. The other two homes remain, just a few short blocks away. The Reverie Retreat features five bedrooms, including a master bedroom with a canopy king bed and hot tub in its own private bathroom.
