This property has room Air Conditioning instead of a central System. There are three units, one on the first, two on the second. The house was cool upon arrival, but the filter on each A/C unit was unheathily clogged the dust, hair, etc. I cleaned two, so the owner or housekeeper could see what I saw.

We have now been to both their Beautiful well maintained homes! So Happy they share them for others to Enjoy! The 1st time we stayed at Sweetwater cottage but this time the Bunkhouse! We had to pick the Bunkhouse this time around because my 3 kiddos are much bigger now, so we needed more space which the bunkhouse has. It is so Adorably decorated with their artwork touches throughout the house. My boys loved their basement with the couch and dart board added! They were down there a lot in the evening. I Loved the front porch in the morning with my coffee and listening to the acorns fall from the trees! Such a fun sound along with the singing cardinal! The kitchen was also so nice to cook in. Having 2 bathrooms was also very nice! Most importantly I love how clean they keep it! We hope to go back next summer! Can’t wait! Thank you Amanda and Nathan!

Great little cottage in a perfect location. Just outside Ludington and the State Park. We had a wonderful stay and visited the beaches and breweries. Came back to enjoy bonfire and smores. Would definitely stay here again.

We were in town for a Michigan adventure race. It was 6 miles from Ludington State Park which was great for us as that was where the race started. The house was clean and the beds were comfortable. It’s very charming.

Cozy Cottage

Girls weekend. Accommodated 5 of us comfortably! Clean cottage. We had fun shopping downtown and dining and taking in a concert at Stix! Breakfast and ice cream at House of Flavors- the BEST! Sun bathing at Lake Michigan beach was a must!Unfortunately we didn’t have time to use the outdoor patio/grill or fire pit.

Adorable Cottage

This was a perfect location for the "overflow" from my in-laws (who live less than a mile away). The cottage was so adorable and comfortable. The wonderful art was so much fun to look at and we loved the pottery (the in-laws said you make it). We would definatily use this place again if needed.

Quick trip to the beach!

My son wanted to visit the big water of Lake Michigan so we scheduled a quick trip! The weather was iffy the first and last day but managed to pull a sun shiny day for the beach! The house is gorgeous, well equipped and in a lovely area. Thank you for the nice stay!

Great home for getaway

We decided on this home because it looked great in the photos and their dog friendly policy. It was a must for us. This location was everything we needed. Loved the fire pit and their front patio was my favorite for a chance to just sit, drink coffee and listen to the birds. We loved it!

Awsome location!

The house was clean and stocked nicely. We would definately stay again. Only issue we had was the lack of window treatments. The sun shines right in your face bet early in the morning. We hung up a hoodie and towels to fix this while staying there.

Best vacation experience

Sweetwater Bunkhouse is truly home away from home.we felt so comfortable right away even befor we stepped through the door. The setting is gracious, unpretentious, and inviting. We had everything we needed at our fingertips from the kitchen utensils, to linens, to tv remote. The neighborhood and nearby attractions were just right for the rest and relaxation we sought.Sweetwater Bunkhouse and Ludington is the perfect combination.

We rented this place for the Gus Macker tournament…worked out well for that. This is a cute cottage and it was a comfortable place to stay for the 4 of us. There’s only one couch in the main living room so it would be hard for 7 people to relax there comfortably. Renters were very quick to answer our questions and accommodate our needs. I suggest buying or packing wood for the cute bonfire pit. My son had fun with the dartboard in the basement. No dishwasher available.
