Excellent fall get-away location!

The cottage has amazing views of Hamlin Lake and everything we needed to make great long weekend! Lots of space, but still feels cozy. Especially loved all of the windows and eating space in the front porch, where we could appreciate the view even when it was a bit cooler outside! The decks are great too. Close to town, but far enough away to be peaceful and relaxing. We would definitely stay here again!

Sibling weekend crew

We had a relaxing great time at this property!! Comfortable beds, the hosts thought of all things that might need when away from home. My only suggestion would be a hammock for the amazing view on the porch!!! We enjoyed and would like to return to the area and use the same home again ! This home helped in making our time away very enjoyable.

Another great stay at a beautiful property

This stay was just as good, if not better, than our first visit in 2022. The renovated 2nd floor bathroom is beautiful, the property is clean and well-maintained and has all of the extra amenities you could ask for (well-stocked kitchen, toiletries, etc.) Our kids (ages 17, 15, 12 and 10) love it too and the view of Hamlin Lake can't be beat. Thanks for an awesome week!

Our escape

We were so happy when we found Meg's house. The pictures don't do it justice. We had such a relaxing time. The home is so cozy, furnishing we're so comfy and so many places to sit with beautiful views of Hamlin Lake. We can't say enough about Meg, since the moment we rented the property she was communicating. We hope we can stay again soon..thinking about some spectacular ice fishing this winter :)

Scott, you were a great guest, and we'd be happy to host you again anytime. While we don't fish ourselves, Hamlin Lake is known to have excellent fishing. We hope you did enjoy the gas fireplace to help you stay cozy and warm. Ludington Park is also known for great snowshoeing in the winter months.

A lovely respite

We have stayed at this charming home before, and came back this time with out of state family members. We all enjoyed the stunning views and visiting with one another on the sun porch. Downtown Ludington is a short drive away, and we also took a few day trips to Pentwater, Manistee and Frankfort. This home is very comfortable and well stocked with towels, toiletries and everything you need for a care-free stay. We highly recommend this beautiful home if you are planning a visit to the area!

My family and I had the most relaxing week here. The view is stunning! Morning coffee on the deck while watching the boats go by and the gorgeous sunsets in the evening are truly peace inducing! The home was clean, spacious and accommodating. Communication with Meg was great. Any questions were quickly answered. Ludington is a fun beach town with much to offer, but we found ourselves wanting get back to the house for games, family dinners and that priceless view!

Three Sisters Reunion

This was our second time to rent this beautiful home on Lake Hamlin that we fell in love with. It is in a quiet neighborhood with great views to the west for spectacular sunsets. Since our first visit the owners updated the upstairs bathroom which added an extra shower. We prepared our own meals and the kitchen was equipped with everything we needed. The owners checked in to make sure we had everything we needed. It is a short drive to Lake Michigan and Ludington State Park where we hiked the trails and walked the endless sandy beach. We will have great memories of our stay and hope to return again.

Family Getaway

This beautiful secluded lake house,with spectacular views, was just what we needed to escape our normal day to day actives. The kitchen is well equipped with quality cookware, utensils, and appliances. The bedding & linens are of high quality & quantity. Both decks are great to enjoy a morning cup of coffee. The front porch provided for a wonderful breeze and a great place to enjoy evening family games while watching the sun set. While our family enjoyed this home in July, we feel it would be just as cozy in the winter with the new fireplace. We would love to visit again as Meg & Frank are wonderful hosts and very accommodating.

Girls weekend

Our hostess thought of every little thing that made our stay comfortable and relaxing The beds were comfortable. We enjoyed the chocolates on the coffee table and the bowl of snacks when we entered. Beach chairs were provided so we didn’t have to pack them. There were throws on all the furniture to wrap up in on chilly nights. The sunsets were amazing There was a birch craft presented by the ladies next door which we loved Nice restaurants and beaches nearby The cottage was beautifully decorated but not fussy. Everything was perfect Our group of 5 has been gathering for 12 years and have stayed in beautiful places up and down Lake Michigan but this is by far our favorite. Can’t wait to return

Great Hamlin Lake Property!!!

Meg was great to work with from start to finish. She repsonded promptly upon the initial booking, and was very responsive during our arrival and check out. The three bedroom house over looks Hamlin Lake with the a great 180 view from the sun room. We enjoyed several meals in the sun room and played lots of euchre ... it was such a great spot to hang out! The beds were comfortable, with clean linens and the house overall was very clean. There is a nice telivsion in the living room with comfortable seating. The kitchen was well equiped and the house has a two car attached garage. We booked five nights and wish we could stayed longer!
