We had a wonderful stay and would highly recommend this property. From the start, the check-in process was seamless, and communication throughout our stay was excellent. The property itself was clean, well-maintained, stocked with necessities to accommodate a large group and exceeded expectations. One of the biggest highlights for our family was the dedicated space for the kids to play and explore. They stayed entertained while we were able to relax and enjoy the surroundings. The bonfire area and large yard were great spots to unwind in the evenings. The local deer took a sip of water from the lake, the apple blossoms were blooming and the sunsets were gorgeous. This was a memorable getaway that we would gladly return to.

Thank you, Katie! Loved hosting you and your fam! Come visit again!
This property provided an amazing location and a wonderful experience for everyone. The host was responsive and great to interact with. Everything about the house, property, lake, and location was everything we hoped it would be and more.
This place is amazing! Perfect for a few families to come with kids, hang out, and enjoy the lake life. Our kiddos ranging in age from 5-13, girls and boys, loved the themed bunk room. It was great to have a space for kids and adults. The hosts were incredibly responsive throughout our stay in answering any questions we had. We hope to come back!
Everything was exactly as pictured and what we expected. Our kids loved the star wars room and it worked perfect for the 5 of them. The beach was a huge hit with our littles and the older kids spent most of their days on the kayaks or canoe. Harold and Amy were great hosts and were always quick to respond to anything we needed!
Home was spacious. Liked having the screened in porch. Great kitchen table for big group. Kids loved the Star Wars room - lots of space to play and spread out. Very much enjoyed the floating raft.
Our family had an amazing stay here. The house was very clean. The sand on the beach was soft and clean and extended into the lake. The kids had so much fun going on kayaks and playing on the lily pads in the water. The owners were very responsive and check in with you often. Would definitely stay here again!
Property was exactly as stated. Kids loved the star wars room and the beach and lake. It was nice to have the kayaks there as they got a lot of use. Everything was clean and in order when we got there. Would definitely stay there again.
Fantastic property! Huge yard. Very private and quiet. Nice lake with a little beach for the kids. The canoe and kayaks were a big hit. Very cool Star Wars bunkhouse room. Nice kitchen with large picnic style table for family meals and games.
This place was perfect for our party of two couples and 6 kids. The kids loved having their own Star Wars themed space. Harold was a great host who quickly answered all my questions and made sure we had everything we needed.
We had everything we needed! The kayaks and canoe were a hit for all of us. The 5 kids (ages 5,7,9) loved the nerf guns and the Star Wars room overall. Harold and Amy were very responsive and gracious.
We absolutely loved this property! Every view from inside the house is beautiful. The lake was warm and so peaceful as it is very quiet throughout the week. Our teenaged boys loved playing king of the hill on the water mats, kayaking and fishing. The adults also enjoyed kayaking and floating in the water or just sitting with a drink and taking in the views and sounds of the water. The house is beautiful and clean and the beds were all very comfortable! We would love to return in the future! Thank you!!
We really enjoyed the home. The kids loved the Star Wars theme and played it up daily. We were close to Ludington so we were able to go into town for some day ventures and went to the state park as well. It was adequate the 12 of us. We reached out to the owner on 2 occasions and she responded quickly a couple of times and she was right there for us fulfilling our request time at the lake. The children enjoyed all the opportunities that were there for them. Fishing kayaking ping pong badminton.

House was perfect, has everything you need.
The beach was sandy and the grandkids loved their time in the lake, plenty of beach toys available from owners. The lake is picturesque with loons and bald eagle sightings.
The Star Wars room was amazing and enjoyed by kids of all ages, nerf gun battles everyday by grandparents, parents, and grandchildren.
Meijer store close by for the things we forgot.
Plenty of activities nearby-golf, downtown Ludington, county fairgrounds, the Jam Farm, Amber Elk ranch, Country Dairy Farm, Mac Woods Dune rides-so much to do in the area.
We really enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend!!!!
What an unexpected little gem of a place! We could not have had a more wonderful stay. From the beautiful lakeside location to the close proximity to Ludington, to the large greenspace that was perfect for family volleyball, and the cozy cottage that was equal parts comfortable and awesome for the kids – we couldn’t have dreamed up a better spot for a family vacation. This house has every amenity you could want - plenty of games and activities for the kids, kayaks, and a canoe for the lake, a fully decked out kitchen, and tons of the little things that make life a bit easier – towels, linens, soaps, paper towels. Amy and Harold really thought of every last detail and we are so grateful for their hospitality. We will definitely be back!
The photos on VRBO truly don’t give justice to the Star Lodge! Gorgeous park-like secluded setting right on Hackert Lake- an all sports lake. We enjoyed watching a deer family every morning, heard and saw a loon, caught several bass and also kept tabs on the cutest turtle family off the dock.
The cabin inside has been completely remodeled and has every possible amenity imaginable (in the kitchen, for the lake, even provided firewood!!). Beautiful, spacious and might be the cleanest place we have rented in 20 years of renting from VRBO.
The owners were very easy to communicate with yet not intrusive.
The location also allowed us to jaunt into Ludington for meals and to Manistee for a couple rounds of golf.
Highly recommend!
Thanks for sharing your place with us!
For a lake house, this cottage has TONS of outdoor space. Massive yard, visits from some wildlife friends (fawns), fun fishing from canoes and kayaks, shallow sandy shoreline for young kids and large screened in porch make this property a great for a family getaway with a lot of outdoor time.
The Star Wars room is awesome. Great for a group of kids, even if not all of them want to play Xbox or watch TV. Lots of room for many kids activities and games. It’s also nicely isolated from the “adult” side of the house with a big door and some good sound insulation, haha!
All in all - not much to complain about on this one. Great little getaway for my family. This was my kids favorite house we’ve visited in the last 11 yrs or so. 5-stars.
5/5 Excellent
The Star Lodge was the perfect place for our family of 11 to stay from July 15-22nd, 2023. The Star Wars theme in the bunk room was well done, and fun for kids and adults alike. The the nerf guns were a great attraction. There was plenty of room for all of us, and we enjoyed eating together at a table to fit us all. The kitchen was well stocked, as well as linens and towels. The screened in porch housed the grill, and we had a wonderful view of the spacious yard, watching the black squirrels and deer. We gathered almost nightly at the fire pit, and appreciated that the firewood was plentiful. The water at the dock was very shallow, but we were able to dock our boat, and "walk" the boat out to deeper water when we took the boat out to tube or ski. The house and the property were very clean, and the hosts were very kind. Our whole family recommends this property because of the wonderful experience we had!
This property was a beyond perfect! Harold and Amy are the sweetest hosts and were so accommodating and went above and beyond to make our stay feel absolutely perfect. The back yard is like a little private oasis with the most beautiful setting. Our whole family loved swimming, fishing, boating and kayaking in Hackert Lake. The beach area was so cute and had everything we needed. The house was amazing! The bunk room is unlike anything I’ve ever seen. The creativity that was showcased was truly magical. I believe the adults loved it just as much as the kids. The kitchen had everything we needed and the screened in porch was perfect for late night sitting. We had a large group of 8 adults and 4 kids and we were all really comfortable. My husband and I slept in the bunks ans well an our kids and they were honestly so comfortable. The bunk room was large enough that my brother and sister in law brought a blow up mattress and set it up next to their son’s pack in play, but they also could have slept on the futons and would have slept just as good. It was truly the perfect place for our families to come together and enjoy everything Ludington had to offer! We were all sad to leave and cannot wait to come back and stay at the Star Wars Lodge! If you are on the fence about booking this property I would highly recommend to just BOOK it! You won’t be disappointed! The setting is one of a kind and it’s so close to downtown Ludington. Best of all worlds! Thank you Harold and Amy!
Our family totally enjoyed our stay at the Star Wars Home! Needless to say the nerf guns were a hit! We enjoyed the beach and kayaks. The dock was used by the grandkids alot for fishing. Super huge yard was enjoyed by all. House was comfortable and spacious. Well stocked kitchen. Bring your own water for drinking. Limited to one load of laundry per day. Host was quick to respond. We would rent again!!
