About this property
Hamlin Lake Southside Sanctuary
Now booking for the 2026 season! Come and enjoy all that Hamlin Lake has to offer at this one of a kind property. Located down a 100 yard private road with 425 feet of pristine sandy lake front, there is no way you will feel crowded. Why "Southside"? This property is arguably the southernmost cottage on Lower Hamlin. What does that mean? Amazing views of all of Lower Hamlin and the famous sand dunes, and a stones throw from everything that Ludington has to offer. Head south approximately 5 mins to downtown Ludington, where you can shop and stop at House of Flavors for an ice cream cone you won't regret. Head west approximately 5 mins (or less!) to Lake Michigan for a marvelous sunset, or to the Ludington State park to hike one of the numerous trails. This place is location, location, location!!! Walk or bike down the road to Sargent Sand's Lost Lake, where you can swim in the warm waters while enjoying the peaceful dunes. Rather boat to the dunes on the northern part of the lake and enjoy the comradery there? Bring your boat and park it at the dock. We provide rubber fenders and have cleats to tie your boat to during your stay. We also have a paddle boat, kayaks, water mat, and different yard games that guests are welcome to. Full disclosure: This vacation property is the lower level of a 3600 sq. ft. lake house with it's own private entrance. There is a locked door that separates the top and bottom level. The pictured patio is the rental's own private patio. The owner visits the property regularly (typically weekends) to maintain it, and occupies the top floor. Rental has air conditioning. The rental was recently renovated in 2021 and is all brand new. If you would like to bring your dog please reach out to us and we can chat!
