We had a amazing time with our fur pups!! Thank you for being a great host. Our fur pups enjoyed going to the dog beach. We got to go see a few of the lighthouses around the area. The house is very close to everything you'd want to go and do in Ludington. The home is very beautiful and spacious as well.

The house is just beautiful - comfortable and clean, with plenty of room. We loved the fenced yard for my sister's dog, and the gate at the top of the basement stairs was fantastic for keeping her separated from my cat. (I imagine it'd be convenient for kids, too. ) Nice and close to downtown Ludington, where my nephew's wedding venue was. Easy check in, and the easiest check out I've ever had at a rental. 100% recommend - one of the best places I've ever stayed, and a really great first VRBO experience for my octogenarian parents.

The home is in a quiet neighborhood with a nice large backyard. The kitchen is large. The clothes washer and dryer are new. There were a few maintenance and convenience items that should be taken care of and we let the property manager know.

This home was perfect for our family group of 11. We cooked two large meals during our stay, and the kitchen was perfect for that. Everything seemed to be new and/or updated. Just fyi, the disposal had to be plugged in and out under the sink to be used. The wall switch would not work without doing that. Great rental, close to the beach.

Location was great and we loved the size of the house for our family. However, there were a few minor things that should be improved. Some towels were no longer white (clearly makeup stains so not owners fault but they should be replaced as it felt a bit odd), there were no blankets on the bed other than the comforter and there was clearly a pet at the home at some point in time as we had hair on quite a few items and found quite a few while there. None of these would discourage my stay, but for a “luxury” house advertised, it didn’t feel luxurious.

This property is wonderful location with three words to sum it up: clean, fresh, and plentiful. Everything you need is provided and you won’t run out of anything or wish for more or extra of something. The owners have all age groups in mind when setting up for guests. It is as pictured- beautifully decorated with little surprise gift extras. Communication with Jason was great. It is a very quiet neighborhood - peaceful. It is pet friendly, but there was no odor of animals nor sign that one was recently there. One of my family members has significant allergies to all cats and some dogs, but he had no reactions to the home environment. Every area, linens, and blankets all smelled clean and fresh to all. The kitchen is prepared for all kinds of cooking. Many appliances available.The outdoor area has been very well thought out and perfect for meals, play, and congregation. I have been to 8 rental vacation homes and this one gets my highest rating.

This is the best facility we have ever used! It started with an effortless check-in process with effective communication from our host, Jason. When we arrived (Large house numbers, easy to see) the facility looked like new. There was incredible attention to detail at every point, from snacks and brochures at the entrance, to games/toys for kids and adults (great for that dreaded rainy day). Numerous tv's were also available. The coffee maker (drip and Keurig) was well stocked. The light switches were labeled so you can make sense of them. The kids especially liked the pool table and air hockey. We used the fire pit in the back yard, which has comfortable chairs for both kids and adults. The beds were comfortable and all the linens clean. Even though we were practically full, there was enough room that people were not on top of each other. All of the decorations were very well thought out. Every room had something that would make us smile. There was even extra swag for our dog! If you are planning a trip to Ludington, you will not find a better place to stay.
