This house had everything we needed for 3 couples to relax and have a fantastic time in Ludington. We especially enjoyed the front porch and back yard because the weather was so nice. Thank you for sharing your house with us.

This was just right for our small family gathering. A couple blocks walk to both downtown & the shore. The house was spotless. We had camp fires in the backyard fire pit and a cookout on the grill. The sunroom was a nice warm spot when it got chilly. Hosts called and made sure we had everything we needed. Nice quiet street with friendly neighbors on our walks!

The host was very communicative and accommodating. He even called to clarify things with me directly to avoid misinterpretation. The house was very spacious and there was plenty of seating for our guests and the items available for use in the kitchen were plentiful. It was only a short walk to the beach, downtown, and the marina. We stayed 2 nights for a friend’s wedding, all of us from across the state. If we were to come to Ludington with a group again, we would choose this property hands down.

Had a wonderful time. The property was well appointed with towels, dishes and everything we needed. The location close to Stearns Beach was very convenient. Everyone enjoyed the stay and we're sorry to go, and hopeful to come back in the future. The only complaint was that the trip wasn't longer - the best kind of vacation. Also, communication with the host was extremely good!

We had a nice time there. The house is very nice. We hung out after an exhausting day in the living room and relaxed. Very comfy sofas. Everyone slelp well in the bedrooms. Mark, the host, responded to my questions quickly. I would recommend staying. The neighborhood was also cute and a great area to go for a walk.

Great location

Great location and stay! House isn’t very toddler proof but there’s so much to do outside of the house that we almost forgot! Everything was very clean and spacious. Beautiful home! Mark was great to communicate with. We ended up breaking a patio chair on accident and he was very understanding. Great host with great communication!
