Great weekend getaway

Our stay in the home was wonderful. It has so much historical charm and updated nicely. The home was very clean and had everything we needed. The beds where cozy and a nice fenced yard for the dog. I would Definitely return again.

Awesome location

We really loved this spacious, historical home. It worked well and had plenty of room for 3 adults and 3 young children (age 6 & under). We used the kitchen regularly for cooking and found it to be well-supplied with the basic items needed for cooking and baking. We loved the piano on the front porch and my kids spent a lot of time running up and down the two staircases that connect the first and 2nd floors. The property is clean and very close to the downtown, but it is also close enough to the state park to make multiple trips between naptimes. The property owner is responsive and helpful. Really couldn't recommend this charming place more!

Perfect!

This was the perfect home for our extended family vacation!! 9 slept very comfortably and kitchen/dining area was big enough for all 13 of us on the trip to gather, eat, play games & make wonderful memories! The home was close enough for a nice walk into town. The beach & lighthouse were a quick drive or good walk away, and the State park was just a 15 minute drive. We would definitely recommend this home for a perfect family getaway!!

Fun Stay in Ludington

We enjoyed our stay at the Emily Foster House. It was very clean and had enough beds and space for our extended family and dog. It’s made for a great family vacation. While we didn’t do any big cooking, but it seemed well equipped for that. Nice walk to town and a coffee shop.
