Wonderful property!

This was a great place for our family. We liked being together, but still had separate space for each family with our own bathrooms! It’s close enough to town to enjoy all the activities, but provides a private space to relax. We will definitely be going back!

Great Up North Stay!

We were visiting family in the Ludington area and this place was a great location with all the amenities of a household. Lots of space to spread out and cook meals. Super clean and lake access if you choose off the dock just down the way only 3 minute walk. Cleanest rental that we have stayed in. Would recommend.

Great Weekend Away

Excellent communication and directions from owner both pre-trip and via clear instructions onsite; layout worked well for us as we have teen and adult kids so everyone had plenty of space for the different hours they kept; well stocked kitchen and plenty of dishes for cooking; great sized dining room table for eating in and playing family games; extra wall AC units kept the bedroom temperatures cool on the second floor; would definitely consider staying here again if we are in the area

Wonderful mini family vacation

Great time spent with the family. Each family group had their own level of the house. Plenty of space to spread out. Weather could have been better, but that did not detract from our experience.

Wonderful stay

My family and I stayed here this past weekend and it was great! The house was so clean and it has everything you need and then some! There were 4 adults and 5 kids and there was plenty of room for all of us. The upstairs was perfect for my sister and her husband and their 3 kids under the age of 6. It’s not far from Downtown Ludington and Ludington State park. I wish we would have stayed longer!

What a great place for our annual family get-together!

Perfect “Up North” Cabin

The house is set up perfectly including four bedrooms and three full bathrooms. Accommodations included everything we needed, including kitchenware, games, and grill. The property is private and in a quiet neighborhood. It has enough room for the kids to play outside, including a fire pit for s’mores. It was a quick and easy drive to downtown Ludington.

Perfect for Extended Family

I loed the way this property was laid out, each part of the family had their own space and bathroom so no one felt cramped. There was also a nice large living, dining, and kitchen area that worked well for meals and playing games. Just 15 minutes from town this property was secluded and quiet, but easily available to town, grocery stores, and all the adventures we wanted. Lewis and Amanda were quick to respond when questions came up. We're already thinking about heading back again!

Peaceful cabin in the woods

My family chose to rent this house because it looked spacious and private. It was both! The layout gave everyone his/her own space and bathroom, and the wooded area and private drive added to the cozy feel. The kitchen had everything you’d need for a home away from home. Between morning coffee on the wraparound deck and evenings around the fire pit, we couldn’t have had a better stay. Thank you so much! We hope to return.

Perfect family vacation spot!!

This property was perfect! It was clean, cute, and had a well stocked kitchen with everything we needed. We had 5 adults and 5 kids, ranging in ages from 3-9, and we were all very comfortable. We loved that there were bedrooms on the main, upper, and lower floors so everyone had space and bathrooms. The three king beds were fantastic so adults were comfortable and the kids loved sharing the room. Soft sheets, ample towels and beach towels, and convenient laundry right by the entrance! The outdoor space was wonderful… fun to have a bonfire and also plenty of space for the kids to run around. The location was great - close enough to the state park, the beach, and downtown, but quiet, lovely spot away from city noise. Thank you for a wonderful stay!!

Family Gathering

We had family from the east coast and Rocky Mountain area that met up in Ludington. The house was perfect for our blended families. We also had 2 ASD children with us and we felt that it was a very safe and great outdoor experience for all of us including the kids. The Ludington State Park and beaches in town were easily accessible by car. We ate or prepared all all meals at the house. The new kitchen appliances, great cabinet space and ample small wares made it very easy for preparing all our meals. Amanda and Lewis were quite accommodating and responded very quickly to every inquiring we had.

Hamlin Getaway

We had a great time staying at Hamlin Lake. It is close to fun things to do. We tend to be beach bums and we liked both the state park beach and Stearns Park beach. This cabin is not lakeside, but it is quiet and secluded. The house was very clean and we all had plenty of room (9 of us) when hanging out for the day or evening. We needed more linens, specifically bath towels and wash cloths, as well as kitchen towels, so we had to do laundry daily. We eat in a lot on vacation and there were no convenience items such as non-stick spray or salt and pepper, so you need to bring things with you if you plan to cook. There are not a lot of dishes either so you will be handwashing or running the dishwasher all the time. The only real down-side was not having enough outdoor seating around the fire pit or a patio table and chairs, so we didn't spend a lot of time outdoors like we usually do. All in all it was a very pleasant stay.

Pictures don't do it justice

This property is beautiful. Hard to get an idea of the layout from pics. It is perfect! Large (essentially master) upstairs with bunk room across hall. Another master in main floor and a third in the base area. Along with a full den set up! All furniture was good quality and very comfy. Beds were VERY comfy. Kitchen is beautiful! There were basic needs - dishes, pans, toaster, coffee maker, etc - plus paper items like baggies, foil, and such. This is a no brainer! Perfect place for our needs and surely for yours too! Thank you for such a wonderful accommodation
