My mom, 8 year old son and I stayed here and really enjoyed ourselves. We loved the location and ease of walking to the beach. We walked to town once and it took 15 minutes. Everything was stocked, we wished there was an extra bath towel since there was only two, but we caught the cleaning person and she gave us an extra. The grill was a little old but still worked for our hamburgers one night, the seating area was a plus. We definitely would return! (Misunderstood the bed situation, there is one trundle bed with two twins together and one full bed)

Your reservation was for two adults. When you informed me that you had invited your niece because it sleeps four..I informed you the cottage is small ..it would be a tight fit with three adults. Under house rules we recommend two adults or a family of four. Thank you for your review. Linda

A cozy stay

This was an ideal location to have close access to so many things in the Ludington area! We took advantage of the proximity to the lake; we even walked to the nearby Oriole Field to take in some high school football! I’m not sure we’d want to stay here with two other adults, but it was perfect for the two of us!!

Wonderful family stay in Cottage 6

From check in to check out the process was smooth and communication was fantastic. The cottage was super clean, and just enough space for our family. You cannot beat the location. We enjoyed walking to and from the beach many times. We also walked to town, local free concerts (major bonus), and mini putt putt. I highly recommend staying here! Lots of memories were made with our family.

Great cottage with an outstanding location.

Every inch of the cottage is masterfully laid out and utilized. The Cottage is a open concept but we never felt cramped or in each other’s way. My favorite aspect was the decorations, It reminded me of a Thomas Kinkade painting of cottage life. The amazing beach is a block away and the State Park is less than 5 minutes away. When we return to Ludington we will definitely be back.

Nice little cottage just a short walk from the beautiful beach.

We stayed 3 nights in late August for a little vacation getaway before school started back up. We enjoyed beautiful weather and no crowds whatsoever. Downtown Ludington seemed like it was ready to close up early for the season. But the ice cream shops were open! And the sunsets on the water were gorgeous.

Everything we needed

A very restful and peaceful place to stay for a few days. Cozy, but well thought through in terms of everything one could need or want, with an economical but very creative use of every nook and cranny. The central patio and grills were a nice accommodation to have. Ludington is a very lovely town, at least the parts we saw, and a walk to the lake for beachcombing and sunsets was very accessible. We also enjoyed the Maritime Museum. Thanks to Linda for a very nice getaway!

Ludington Vacay

We really enjoyed our stay at the cottage! It was immaculate and had everything we needed. The beds were very comfortable and the cottage had anything one could need. Linda was wonderful about getting back to us with a couple of questions that we had. The location was prime, with the lake a block away, and often we would ride our bikes or walk into town which was not too far. The area was super quiet at night, which was a plus! We loved the area and look forward to coming back again!
