The Hideaway of Ludington -- Beautiful Home in Downtown Area

We traveled with our daughter and her family, and rented both the upper and lower units. This worked well, allowing each of us some private space. This is an older home, so don't expect everything to be modern or perfect. It is old, but clean and lovingly cared for.There is some peeling paint in the dining room, but on the whole, the place feels homey and welcoming. We see that the owners have been gradually making improvements, and we were able to relax, spread out and enjoy the place. The main floor kitchen has been remodeled completely, and had everything we needed for cooking. The beds varied in comfort level, there were plenty of pillows and extra bedding supplied as well as towels for the bathroom. If you come in summer, you may enjoy dining in the outdoor patio area.

We couldn't get any of the keys to work, but using the lock box code each time worked just as well. Light switches were hard to locate, and some lights still have the old style pull chain. The upstairs unit has a shower, but it is located in the hall, so stepping out of the shower exposes one to the view of anyone else in the unit.

The location is great, on a quiet street in town. We were within walking distance to the beach park and the pier, and also to the House of Flavors. We were able to park our 3 vehicles off street behind the house.

We would recommend this place to other large groups looking for budget accommodations in Ludington. If you don't mind the fact that it is an older home, I don't think there is a better value to be found anywhere in the whole town.

Great option for a large group staying in Ludington. We were there for a wedding and there was space for a group to gather both in and outside. Very clear directions to get in using key codes. Very clean. Many areas are redone. Bathrooms are old and the claw foot tub/shower is awkward but serviceable. Air conditioners are helpful. Close to everything on foot.

We enjoyed our stay at the Hideaway of Ludington! Our daughter and her husband and their two young children stayed in the upper unit and my wife and I shared the lower unit with our other daughter and her husband. The accommodations were perfect for our needs: lots of room for all of us to gather in the lower unit for meals and games; privacy, comfort, and quiet for each and all of us to sleep each night. 4 blocks to the beach in one direction and 4 blocks to downtown in the other direction made the location ideal for us. The kitchen has been fully updated and worked really well for preparing large meals for our whole gang. There was ample seating, too, for all 8 of us--inside and at the outside sitting/dining area (which was also very well appointed). The bathrooms were funky but very clean. The living room and dining room were spacious and there was plenty of lighting for us to read or do puzzles (some additional lightbulbs would make it even better, though). Our host, Mike, and the local property management folks communicated clearly and well. All in all, we loved staying in this old house--and, the next time we return to Ludington, we would stay there again!

We really enjoyed staying in a place that was clean and very near town and beach. We had plenty of room. Three bedrooms was necessary for 3 snoring sisters.

Loved the quaintness and charm of the house plus the modern updates to the lower level kitchen. Walked to dinner every night in town. Close for ice cream and walks to the beach. Love the new patio and lights they installed since our last stay there for late-night drinks and conversation outdoors. We will be back!
