We had a wonderful time at this gem on the dunes of Ludington. So quiet & comfortable, with that added benefit of beautiful Lake Michigan views out every back window. Plus that amazing porch - wow! Thank you so much for sharing your home!
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.
Beautiful location, home has a great layout and would definitely stay there again. We also took part in a lot of what Ludington had to offer and had a great time.
The check in process was easy, the home was beautiful, and the location was perfect. Absolutely loved staying here. Allowed us to be close to family and friends while visiting while still giving us a quiet location to decompress.

Thank you Shanon!!! You were fabulous guests! Have a wonderful holiday season!
Enjoyed the beautiful view of Lake Michigan and the sunsets every night !!! Perfect house and location to gather and make great memories with family!!! Thank you for sharing your home with us .
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.
We had the best time this past week in Ludington. Our house had amazing views of Lake Michigan and plenty of room for our whole family. We can’t wait to visit again.
We love staying here. Owners are friendly, helpful, and make the whole process easy. Their home is beautiful and well taken care of. Nothing beats waking up to the beautiful sunrise.
