The house is exactly as described and pictured and was perfect for our girls trip. Ludington is a wonderful small town and the house is within easy walking distance of the beach, parks, shops and restaurants. It is also centrally located along Lake Michigan and was a great home base for visiting towns from Holland to Mackinac Island. We’re already talking about our next stay here. Mark is an awesome host; very responsive and helpful. I highly recommend this property.

If you like downtown and Stearns Beach in Ludington, this is a great location! It was clean and communication with the owner was superb. The ceiling in the basement is low, so if you sleep down there be aware. The living room is big. We had 7 people and it fit all of us very comfortably. The dining room table was also large. We had a great stay!
