A great place to invite family

We used all the bedrooms at one time or another and had various groups of family staying anywhere from all 4 nights to 2. The three levels with some privacy on each were fantastic.

Wonderful property!

This was a great place for our family. We liked being together, but still had separate space for each family with our own bathrooms! It’s close enough to town to enjoy all the activities, but provides a private space to relax. We will definitely be going back!

Great Up North Stay!

We were visiting family in the Ludington area and this place was a great location with all the amenities of a household. Lots of space to spread out and cook meals. Super clean and lake access if you choose off the dock just down the way only 3 minute walk. Cleanest rental that we have stayed in. Would recommend.
