We absolutely loved the views and the location of this house! Each evening we were entertained by a spectacular sunset and enjoyed seeing the Badger coming and going in and out of port. There were also many deer peacefully roaming the neighborhood. The house was large enough to give all 3 families their own personal space. The fluffy bath towels and higher end toiletries were also appreciated. All family members gave this house a “thumbs up”! Heidi and Wayne were very responsive and a pleasure to work with. We hope to stay here again the next time we come to the Ludington area.

Perfect family getaway

We really enjoyed our stay - our first visit to Lake Michigan and the sunsets around the fire pit were by far the highlight of the trip. The house is very well outfitted with everything we needed to be able to cook during our stay. The beds were very comfortable and my kids enjoyed the ping-pong table downstairs.
