Located minutes from downtown Ludington. We do not have neighbors immediately to the North of us. There is a dense woods to the north. Good news for big gatherings, we have a tiny home with its own hot tub and fire pit next door to the south that's also available for rent from May-October. It’s about 125ft away and is separated by a privacy fence. We have no neighbors south of the tiny house, but there is a beautiful orchard and woods.
The driveway is shared with a neighboring property. Please respect our neighbors! We like them a lot!
Guests have access to the entire property. Access to laundry room will be provided upon request.
Parking for 10+ vehicles right on the property, plenty of room for the whole group to caravan in. (Garage not included.)
Please, let us know if you there is any way we can help make your stay a little better.
After a long car ride, you finally arrived at your vacation destination along the fresh coast! Leave your bags in the car- you can get those later! Make your way to the back porch, take a minute to breathe in the fresh air, and gaze at the blue waters of Lake Michigan. Over 100 feet of private lakeshore views for just you, your family, and your friends! You all deserve this moment, so take a group selfie, share it with everyone, and never forget it!
When you’re ready, head in and drop off your suitcases in one of the rooms. Each bed is freshly made with clean cozy sheets. All bedrooms come with bedside fans and easy to reach outlets to charge your devices. We provide extra sheets and pillows at your request. There is a nursery with a crib located off the master bedroom. Rock, paper, scissors over who gets the master or just give it to the person you appreciate most!
Outside, you will find multiple games: lawn Jenga, corn hole, Bocce ball, and more. After a competitive game of cornhole, grab a drink and relax on the front porch or the observation deck overlooking the 200ft bluff. The swim spa is massive and has a wide view of the lake. It is kept at 102 degrees during the Fall/Winter/Spring and 80 degrees during the Summer. The spa is like a mini pool with only two seats but room for 12.
In the mood for food? Let the grill master loose at the 4-burner Weber grill. Or head 15 minutes to downtown Ludington and grab a nice dinner at one of the local breweries or restaurants. While in town, take a stroll down Ludington State Park Beach, dip your toes into Lake Michigan, and search for some cool Petoskey stones.
After dinner, gather around the fire pit, roast marshmallows, and share stories while the sun goes down. If it's raining outside, gather around the indoor fireplace, log into your Netflix or Disney+ account, and watch a movie. Still have some energy left? Grab a board game in the game zone and turn on some music!
The early risers will love the coffee and tea bar. Grab a cup of joe and sit in one of the cozy blue chairs facing the lake. This is one of our favorite spots in the house! When everyone wakes up, make some pancakes in the fully equipped kitchen. There are many things to do in Ludington, flip open the guide book if you need inspiration!
Please note, the exhaust vent in the kitchen is inoperable, but there is a large window that can be opened if needed!

We enjoyed our stay at this property and will consider it again for future vacations. The communication from the host was excellent and check-out procedures were very reasonable. Thank you!
This was one of my favorite properties that I’ve stayed at. Everything was excellent and the view was priceless. The beds were very comfortable and the master suite was one of the best that I’ve stated. I would 100% stay here again with my family.
Host were amazing and helpful during check in. House was very well stocked and in amazing shape. We had 10 people and never felt crowded. And can I say the view of Lake Michigan... Amazing
Nice site. Overlook of the lake. Close to beaches by car. Roomy spaces for sleeping. Very responsive host when wifi down and fireplace troubleshoot. There is another very small residence on the property, which made it feel less private as folks came and left. Would be good to list that in the description if it is t there already. Otherwise, well stocked for cooking and very receptive hosts for feedback. North of site is a large electrical grid/power site which takes a little of the quaint Michigan feel away but no notice when at the house or just around it. I’d take walks to the South if that is an issue. Overall was a lovely trip in a well kept home.
This property is beautiful, quiet and isolated, yet only a fifteen minute drive to downtown Ludington. Everything we could have needed was already at the home down to the smallest detail. From the kitchen, laundry room and even the bathrooms, everything we could have needed was provided. We throughly enjoyed our time here. Our stay for five nights with six people was overwhelmingly positive and the following did not take away from our experience but were observations during our stay. The basement level, newly added or renovated is extremely cold with the AC running. The barbecue grill lacked sufficient propane for our stay and was in need of cleaning before it could have been used. Again, all of the positives far exceeded expectations even with check in and check out. I just wish we’d found their direct booking website when planning our stay.
Fantastic home and a great location, right on the water, on a bluff. All of the views and none of the water safety risk for our little guy. The owners were great with prompt responses and we would definitely consider staying here again!
We loved this home. It had everything we needed. Mostly sunny with a day of rain and it didn’t matter because inside is as great as outside. Fawns feeding in the morning was a bonus.
Wonderful experience for our multi-generation family’s week on Lake Michigan! The house, yard, and swim spa were exactly as described. Beach access via Summit Park is just 1.5 miles away and very family friendly with restrooms, playground, & picnic tables.
Excellent views of Lake Michigan and Nice and Quite location
We had a family get-together on the 4th of July weekend Ten people in all, the weather cooperated and we enjoyed the daily magnificent sunset on Lake Michigan Property is clean and on a hill overlooking Lake Michigan very clean property kids enjoyed the backyard and jacuzzi
Overall very good property to relax and enjoy Lake Michigan.
Perfect property when we wanted to escape. House was extremely clean and amazingly decorated. Owners were quick to reply with questions. It was dark enough at night to relax in the hot tub and easily identify the stars and planets.
This place was clean and well organized with labels on everything. The view is absolutely amazing and we had a great time hanging out in the yard during the day and playing the provided Cornhole game. This is the type of property that you do not want to go out and do anything else.
We really enjoyed our stay! The house and views were absolutely beautiful, and it was adequately stocked with everything we needed. The hosts were great to work with and responded very quickly. The only issue we encountered was that there was absolutely no cell phone service at the house, which made it challenging. However, Wi-Fi did work, so that helped a bit. Overall, we had a great experience and would definitely come back and recommend booking this house!
This home was impeccable! Every detail was appreciated. Everything was so clean, stocked and cozy. They have a cute book about the home and local places to visit. Beds were comfy too! The soaker bathtub and hot tub were a really nice addition. Communication was super quick and friendly. Best hospitality I’ve seen in a long time. They thought of every little details for the home and it just made the stay so easy and relaxing. We loved that it’s a close drive into town too. I will definitely be back!!!
This home was one of the most well appointed ones our group has rented. Lots of little touches like extra toothpaste and toothbrushes. Pots, pans, utensils, and dishes were all in great shape and not a cobbled together set. View was amazing, hosts were responsive and provided a lot of great information. The house was as described, but there is a tiny house next door that appears to also be a rental, that house shares the driveway and we missed seeing that in the description.
Great house! Perfect for traveling with family and little ones. So much to do. Loved being right on the lake.

About the host
Hosted by Shawna and Chandler
In 2020 our family shared a dream of staying along Lake Michigan together to enjoy the sunsets and views of the lake. I mean, as a born and raised Michigander, who hasn't had that dream before? We had a difficult time finding a place to rent, so as entrepreneurs, business partners, and family, we decided to become hosts ourselves and created a space to share with you! We hope you and your family have an amazing time during your stay on the lakeshore. Keep us in your back pocket if any troubles arise, and have some fun! You all deserve it.
