Tons of outdoor area, a comfy living room and 2 bedrooms with a jack and jill bathroom. Kitchen stocked with enough to make meals if thats your thing. Clean throughout, comfortable beds, great sunset views over the water.

Great experience!

The cottage was very clean and smelled wonderful. Everything was there that you would need for a short stay. Check-in was flawless and communication with the host was great. The host was very accommodating for our arrival time as we were unsure when we would be to Ludington. The cottage sits in a cozy little area. Google maps wanted us to turn on a road that did not exist, so we followed the main road around the corner and there was the cottage. We would stay here again. Great experience!

Hamlin Lake Getaway

My husband is an avid fisherman and this cottage was perfect for us to get away and do some fishing and shopping in town. This cottage was perfect for our needs and we had a great time. Will definitely stay again.

Quaint lake cottage, great location

Clean, quaint lake cottage. Had all amenities we needed. Wish we had time to stay longer and explore the area more, but this was a great landing spot for local salmon fishing AND making a college visit/game for a few days. Check in and out was a breeze. Thank you!

Hamlin Lake

Easy access. Cabin was clean and cozy. Spent most of our time outside on the deck looking at the lake. Quiet neighborhood and close to everything. Our only problem was the oven didn’t work. We all enjoyed our stay. Would definitely recommend staying here.

Not what I expected.

We rented after Memorial Day weekend. The cottage was not exactly ‘overlooking’ the lake and the property was actually not well maintained. Lots of overgrowth. The deck was in need of some upkeep and the flower boxes were full of dead flowers. The inside however was great! Beds were so comfortable! Shower drain had a bit of a sewer smell. We did enjoy the sunset as much as we could see between 2 houses across the street. The cottage sits close to the road, up against a steep hillside. Cupboards were stocked with everything you need to cook. Towels were very nice. I probably wouldn’t book again.

A place to sleep

If you’re ok with “ok” on cleanliness and don’t mind the VERY lived in appearance, this place will do the trick for a place to eat, sleep and take a shower. If you imagine yourself sitting on an adorable little deck overlooking a slice of Lake Hamlin, you may be very disappointed. It is in desperate need of repairs and painting/staining. The furniture was filthy and covered in spider webs and all associated ick. There is a very nasty, moldy slimy mess created by the air conditioner draining that greets you just outside the sliding door and next to the outdoor patio table. It did not look like the deck had even been swept off for weeks. Queen bed is very comfortable but linens are low quality and worn. Several lamp bulbs are burned out along with the refrigerator light and while these issues may seem petty, they contribute to my overall disappointment that this potentially adorable, cozy place is not being well cared for. Unfortunately, there was no inspiration for me to take pictures but I wish I had them to share in this post.

Terrible odor inside that took a full day to dissipate by leaving all the windows open and fans on. Every bit of clothing that entered the home carried the same odor until I got home and washed clothes. Hot water pressure was low and cobwebs were everywhere. Up to check in host was responsive.

Nicely decorated cozy cottage. Clean, quiet. Beautiful view/location. If youre looking for rustic lake cottage, this one is for you. Only drawback: very tiny window A/C unit, does not keep up or remove humidity, floors got sticky. Cooler weather would be perfect. Bonus that dog could come, too.
Nice deck with water view
Cottage very close to wooded hill/tall trees.
View from deck. Flowers are nice touch.

This is truly a lake cottage how I remember as a kid. The location is a little bit of a drive from Ludington but nice if you want to be away from the downtown. The cottage was cute and quaint and perfect for our needs. The hosts were responsive to questions

Great Space To Unwind

Location is convenient, house adorable, furniture is a big denim hug. Cozy if its chilly at night - great deck area to get a nice tan. Bed is super comfy with a great view of water. And our favorite- a shower wand! Keurig handy as well. We ordered pizza up the road and had breakfast at Cafe 106. Played pickleball near water plant -nice courts.

Cottage stay

It was okay, but there were pet hairs on the furniture and on the bed. The water didn't taste good, so we had to go get water from the store to drink. The location was nice, but I was surprised by the 100 cleaning fee added on at booking, plus other fees, so it was more than twice as much as listed

Anniversary Weekend

Beautiful view of lake Hamlin, close to downtown Ludington and the state park. Cozy cabin, but not much privacy inside the house. You have to walk through bedrooms to access the bathroom. Check in and out was very easy. We had a lovely weekend!
