Location: Ludington, Northwest, Michigan, USA (Half Way Between Ludington and Manistee (Upper Hamlin Lake))
Accommodations: Cottage, 1 Bedroom + Convertible bed(s), 1 Bath (Sleeps 5)
Fall and winter fun on Hamlin Lake is right around the corner! The Shadows cottage offers more than summer water sports. The fall colors, wine tasting, fishing and golfing make for a nice weekend get away. If you are a hunter, you can hunt right from your own back door as we are located in the Manistee National forest. SNOW! SNOW! SNOW! Ride your snowmobile right up to the back door or through the many miles of trails in the Manistee National Forest, and just a short ride from the State groomed snowmobile system. Ice fishing, snowshoeing, cross country skiing are also great on Hamlin Lake. Guided snowmobile tours are available. Our cottage is new, with new furnishings and is very neat and clean.

Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 1930
I was raised on Hamlin Lake and have always loved it here. We brought our family to the cottage for every family vacation, enjoying the wildlife, fishing, swimming, walks in the woods, climbing trees, feeding the swans, enjoying a glass of wine by the fire,and the list goes on and on. Now it is time to share this with others.
Why the Owner Chose Ludington
Grandma and Grandpa wanted to get out of the City of Chicago in the 1930's. They summered on the North Shore of Upper Hamlin Lake several times and realized that this is where they wanted to live. When this property became available in the 1930's they jumped on it. We added the vacation rental in 2005, only beginning the rental of it in the spring of 2009.
The Unique Benefits of this Cottage
We enjoy watching the hummingbirds in the morning, sitting on the front porch with our cup of coffee. The lake always offers beauty and entertainment, whether it be fishing, boating, skiing, tubing, or just riding in the pontoon boat to the dunes. All seasons are fun and exciting! Snowmobiling right out our backdoor....who could ask for more! Icefishing, too, is great on Hamlin Lake!

We were so glad to meet all of your family. As you say, the weather wasn't always the best, but the fish didn't seem to mind! See you next year.

Thank you for your input on our cottage. We went right out and bought a new coffee maker, as you said the one we had was so slow! Now your coffee will be ready when you are for hiking, fishing, seeing the sites, etc.!

Thank you for your input on our cottage. You were the first people to stay at our cottage. We went and bought a new DVD/CD player at your suggestion. On your next visit you will be able to use the DVD/CD player with greater ease!
