  • We stayed at the cottage for a fall weekend in Michigan. The cottage was perfect. Very clean with modern appliances and excellent views of the Lake and surrounding forest. We would definitely stay again.

  • We feel very lucky that we found this cottage available to spend the last week of our children's summer vacation (Aug 23-30). Rain or shine, you will enjoy your stay in this very comfortable home away from home. The wireless internet and the new flat screen tv kept us entertained inside while the expansive yard and wonderful views awed us all outside. Thanks for sharing your home with our family and for the happy memories it provided us!!!

  • We stayed in the cottage for a week this summer and had a wonderful family vacation. Ludington and the surrounding area is beautiful and there is much to do. The cottage has been updated and was very nice with amenities (wireless internet and washer/dryer was a bonus). All we brought were our clothes, a cooler and boat gear, the rest was at the cottage. My family enjoyed fishing from the dock, climbing the sand dunes around the corner on Lake Hamlin, tubing, going to Michigan Adventure, campfires, the beach in Ludington and many other wonderful adventures. The owner and property manager were very easy to work with and made sure we had everything we needed for our stay. We will be back!!

  • A charming getaway that will have you coming back year after year. The upper Hamlin Lake setting for this cozy cottage is simply beautiful. We enjoyed peaceful mornings on the large deck overlooking the lake, playing with the grandchildren on the huge grassy yard (also lakefront), and most importantly, we looked forward to our evening campfires (once again, lakefront!) sharing family time, roasting marshmallows and watching stunning sunsets over the lake. What a wonderful respite from the city and tranquil retreat back to nature...we hated to leave this place! The cottage itself is roomy, clean, comfortable and has many nice updates...it provides everything you'll need for a great stay. The owner (who lives out of state) is very nice and good to deal with as was the local property manager. Another plus, we met a very nice couple who live next door...it was great to have such friendly neighbors! Every evening around dusk our family would either take walks or short drives to view deer...believe me, you don't have to travel far...they're everywhere! What a fun adventure for all of us and a great learning experience for the grandchildren! This cottage was ideally located, allowing us many opportunities to visit nearby attractions...the city of Ludington with it's neat little shops, restaurants, lakefront city park and beach (and don't forget to watch the Badger come in each evening on it's return trip across Lake Michigan from Wisconsin!). Other areas not to miss, Ludington State Park (gorgeous park with wonderful beaches and hiking trails), also the Silver Lake Dunes area (south of Ludington) and the quaint little town of Pentwater. There's probably more to see and do...we just ran out of time! What a great area. As you can probably tell, I'm more than enthused about our stay here...we can't wait to return! We highly recommend it.

  • We just stayed at this property this week. We had an amazing time and the cottage was lovely! All the amenities were in place and the location was perfect to be able to enjoy everything that Ludington has to offer! The neighbors, Mr. and Mrs. Miller, were very friendly as was Kevin, the maintenance supervisor. He was very attentive to our needs and checked in regularly to see if we needed anything. I would definitely come here again. Thank you!

  • We truly had a great American summer vacation on Hamlin Lake! We spent a week in June with our twin 4 year olds and their grandparents. The house was very comfortable and the updated kitchen and baths were immaculate. However, the wonderful lakefront deck, lawn, and firepit were where we spent most of our time with nightly barbecues and marshmallow roasts. The dock and boat tie-ups on the sea wall allowed my dad to be out fishing by sun-up. The owner and property managers were great to deal with, very nice, as were the neighbors surrounding the cottage. A great experience - we will be back.

  • Hello, We have stayed at your cottage a number of times in the past three years when it was rented by the previous owner. We always had a wonderful time. We brought our sailboat and also enjoyed the pontoon boat. The yard is spectacular, with a lovely view of the lake.
