Comfy and bright!

We stayed here for our wedding weekend and couldn’t have picked a better place. The home is spacious and open, with high-end finishes and everything you could possibly need. It was spotless, beautifully designed, and the cozy fireplace made it feel extra special. The location is very convenient, and we loved how comfortable and welcoming the space was. We highly recommend this rental and will definitely be back!

Clean and Classy

Coming "home" to Ludington is even better when you have a beautiful place to stay. This tastefully redone home was perfect for our group of 4 adults and one infant. Very clean and well-stocked for cooking our part of the larger family Thanksgiving meal. Beds/linens were comfy (we like mattresses on the firmer side; these felt soft but were super supportive). The fireplace was really nice to have on a colder evening and day, and the rustic touches of reclaimed mantle and bar counter were nice features. Instruction book was very complete with lots of helpful information and recommendations. Would love to stay here again - though I imagine once word gets out, this place will be consistently booked!

This home is a dream come true. It is even better than the pictures. The owners have thought of your every need, from toiletries to a kitchen full of pots and pans and dishes etc. and even put together a binder full of instructions, things to do and see- broken out by categories like food, sweet treats, places to visit, golfing, outdoors etc. They have bikes for you to ride, a fire pit in the yard, and bonus, a deer family that comes and goes thru out the day. We will definitely be back. We met the owner the day we checked in because we were early and he was busy cutting the grass and trimming the bushes. He could not have been nicer. He said they bought the home in 2018, took it down to the studs and redid it, and they did a magnificent job. I would have loved to seen a little book with before and after pictures in the house. Their hard work and attention to detail really makes it a hidden treasure in Ludington. I honestly had not one complaint! 10 out of 10!
Gorgeous house inside and out!

From the minute we arrived we knew this was going to be an amazing family vacation. The owners thought of everything. When grilling the gas went out there was a full tank waiting for us in the garage. The bikes, bags and beach toys were much enjoyed. The location is perfect for walks to town and the front porch was the perfect place for morning coffee and evening drinks. The park nearby was fun for our grandson. When we filled the outdoor trash before trash day the owners took care of it within a half an hour… very attentive to any needs you might have. We will be going back next year for sure!

noisy

Loved our return trip to this place. 2 things that were negative. The upstairs people were up at five am and the kids running from one end of the house to the other. The guest bedroom didn’t have a sheet on it. We will probably return next year but want to be certain upstairs will be empty.

Beautiful Apartment

We loved this apartment, it had literally everything we could ever want and we will definitely be back. It's stunning, and well appointed. The pros: the location, look, feel of the house, amenities, etc. The cons: the beds are a little "bony" meaning you can feel the springs a bit but we still got good sleep, but the mattresses may need to be changed soon. And the upstairs tenants for a couple of days seemed to be getting their steps in at midnight and it's a creaky floor, so you hear every step they took. Next year when we stay, we'll have friends rent the upstairs so we can all be on the same schedule. It was a lovely home. We can't wait to come back!

Had a great time staying here! The house is very nice and conveniently located, only a 5-10 minute walk to most places. They actually have a good amount of kitchen utensils for home cooking. I would recommend this place to anyone looking to stay close to downtown Ludington!

Great location. Well equipped. Super clean. Only a Keurig for coffee, so may want to bring electric kettle. Only downside was the sliding door to the bathroom off of the kitchen...not as private as I like.
