Family Trip

A week in Ludington with family. My sister n brother-in-law stayed with me, another sister stayed at a different property. We all loved this house. The layout, amenities, location were perfect! Very quiet and yet close enough to walk to downtown. Loved it!!

Perfect for quiet and relaxation

So impressed with this well-stocked cottage! Linens were hotel quality, towels were spa-worthy (and plentiful!), and furniture was in great condition. Kitchen was well-organized and full of anything you need including skillets and knives in excellent condition. Like others mention, the departure and arrival of the SS Badger was a highlight everyday! Walking distance to many sights was further than other locations in town, but our family of two adults and two teens were able to easily walk them. The walk was worth the quiet neighborhood! Highly recommend this home for your Ludington vacation!

Perfect for what we needed

House was clean and had everything you would need supplied. Close to walking downtown and right across from SS Badger. Only thing was a larger tree that blocked the view from being able to sit on back porch and watch it, but it was so close to the parks so we went there to watch. If I ever came back would stay there again.

Wonderful! Wonderful!

The home is a little older which gives it so much character. There is the most interesting decor that makes you smile and imagine where did this come from. All modern amenities and comforts of home. A must stay!

About the host

Hosted by Bill and Maria

Mariners Landing evolved as we wanted to share our cottage to those who want the experience a quaint coastal town, with its many events, public beaches, waterfront, and rich history.

Why they chose this property

Mariners at heart, it's our tendency to gravitate to the water; this cottage offered the water's edge, big ships and the luxury of being in a small, walkable community.

What makes this property unique

There are few options for accommodations on the fresh coast of Michigan of what Mariners Landing offers; guests are able to enjoy the picturesque views of the only in-service passenger steam ship, the SS Badger from various places inside and outside the home. The location of this cottage is within walking distance to event venues, museums, parks, marinas, waterfront and all shops, restaurants and breweries in downtown.
