Cabin was clean & cozy.We enjoyed having campfires & the hot tub was appreciated after long hikes @the state park.Only downfalls were that the beds/pillows were not at all comfortable & we woke up cold during the night as the pellet stove didn’t seem to keep the upstairs warm. Downstairs was perfect temp.

GREAT CABIN

beautiful home in the woods. Everything was as described. The only negative was the lake across the street was extremely weedy. It did not take away from the wonderful weekend we had. We would love to stay again in the future. Close to downtown Ludington and the beautiful state park that is a must see.

Great place for a family

The house was very clean and well maintained. The hot tub and fire pit were great outdoor activities for both the kids and the adults. The kids also loved playing in the woods around the house. The property itself is very secluded. The area is also great, close to Lake Michigan! Great for a family with a few kids. Definitely recommend!

The cabin and hot tub were nice. But, I made the mistake of placing our bicycles in the unlatched garage which subsequently latched when I closed the door. I apologized for the bad judgment albeit an nonmalicious mistake. I said I would happily pay to have someone come and unlock the door. I was surprised when my credit card was charged not only for unlocking the garage door, but also for additional bogus charges. It was claimed that we had damaged the garage door, but it opened easily when I tried it because it had not been properly latched by the owner. The owner determined that because I opened the unlatched door I should pay additional charges for doing something to the rail. But, the rail must have had issues prior to my opening the door as it had failed to properly latch when the owner closed it. The charges were minimal, but insulting. For those of you who hope to stay here in the future, I hope you have a better experience.

Cutely decorated, well maintained, had everything we needed. We got a lot of rain and had a small issue in which we text the owners and let them know. They were quick to respond and thanked us for letting them know. I would stay here again.

Luxurious Rustic Getaway!

Perfect getaway cabin! Easy to find, and beautifully maintained with all amenities right at your fingertips. Owners very responsive and were available for anything needed. The wooded surroundings were calm and beautiful, and the hot tub was glorious! The cabin is just a few miles from downtown Ludington filled with cool shops, and delicious restaurants. The Ludington beach and state park are close, too, and even though we went off season, we still had a fabulous time walking all over. We had an absolutely wonderful time and highly recommend this cabin to others! :)

Sportsman's paradise

If you like a quiet cabin in the woods (while still being close to beaches and towns) this place is for you. The boys liked catching frogs outside. I liked the hot tub and the Direct TV. Good for a small family. Not much more as the pull out sofa might not be a great night sleep for grownups. The master bedroom was perfect for mom and dad, though. The house had plenty of linens and towels and the owners were VERY responsive with any questions. A good stay without much hassle.

Super Clean and well kept

If you are looking to get away and for a relaxing and beautiful retreat, this is the place! We annually go away as a couple and leave our 3 young kids at home. This was perfect and just what we needed!! So quiet! Close to downtown Ludington and plenty to do! One thing to note, the launch for the kayaks is down the road and they need to be wheeled down which can be a challenge. Also the area of the lake the shared dock was on, was not really an area for swimming but it is perfect for fishing or kayaking. Obviously everyone has different things they like to do but I thought I would mention that because we were expecting something a bit different when it came to the lake access. It was not a problem though! We found plenty to do and everything was perfect!

Hunting Cabin in Mosquito Land

The cabin was OK. Not as clean as I would have liked, cobwebs everywhere! Beds were clean, Master bed was reasonably comfortable but the other full beds were not. Also while talking bedrooms it should be mentioned that there is no door on the Master so no privacy! Kitchen was well equipped but just a few odd glassed and a lot of the dishes were chipped and well worn. Outside was a nightmare, just to enter and exit we had to use a mosquito fogger. There are so many trees and overgrown weeds that it’s mosquito heaven. The trees also makes the cabin very dark, needed lights on all day. There was absolutely no way we could use the outside space, even if we could chairs and deck were dirty! We brought jet skis with us as we were told the lake was close, well not so! Also, there was no way to get a truck and trailer down to the lake, the dock was dangerous and with the reeds there was absolutely no way! We had to drive to another location to launch which was not ideal as we had checked with owner regarding the dock. I would recommend this as a hunting cabin, the lake is full of reeds so not good for swimming or launching jet ski etc and again the dock was dangerous. We spent most of our time in Ludington about 15/20 minutes away, which was beautiful and at another boat slip again about 10 minutes away with a lovely picnic area.
