Cozy Clean Cottage

We really enjoyed our stay at the Little White Cottage! The place was clean and had everything we needed for our short stay. We appreciated the beach towels and chairs. Location was great, as it was close enough to town and the Ludington State park.

As a visitor from Europe I felt genuinely welcomed and at ease. It was the incredible attention in detail that felt me truly at home . It was the little touches- beach blankest, beach chairs, prepared firewood in grill, marshmellows wood sticks that my stay especially memorable....Best stay among 6 different hotels/ B&B, appartements....

Cute Spot to Stay!

This little cottage was well decorated, comfortable, and had pretty much everything we needed. A little walk to Hamlin lake, a short drive to the state park/beach, and not too deep in the woods lol.It's a good spot for a romantic getaway. Despite the hot weather we've had, the owners had the fans running when we got there and it was comfortable. Nice quiet area, too.

Birthday & Anniversary celebration - perfect place

My husband and I came up to Ludington, first time visiting Michigan. It was so fun! What made it even easier was finding The Little White Cottage. The owner was prompt to reply and the cottage is just as it shows in the pictures. It was the perfect place to get away. Close to Hamlin Lake and Lake Michigan. It definitely gets a 10/10 for cleanliness which is one of my top requirements. It is located perfectly for getting around to different activities. If you’re there you will pass STIX restaurant- give it a try too. Thank you for sharing your home with us. Next time in the area we will definitely reach out again!!

Sweet little spot

We had a great stay at the cottage! So clean, very cute, and perfect size for a couple. The house has everything you could possibly think of (or forget) for your stay. We especially appreciated the beach towels! Super close to the lake and a short drive to town. It felt secluded and the area was quiet. We can’t wait to come back!

Little, but packed with charm

Our stay at the Little White Cottage was wonderful. We knew when we booked that it was small, but it was just the right size for my grandson & myself. It was packed with charm, was comfortable & had everything we needed. I would definitely stay here again.

Nice little place

We had a nice stay at this cottage. Quiet location in a wooded area was peaceful, but it was just a short ride to the state park and to Stearns Beach/Downtown Ludington. Hosts were very communicative, kept us informed of issues and the place was clean and well appointed.

About the host

Hosted by Andrea

Hi - I'm Andrea and welcome to The Little White Cottage! We have lived in the Ludington area for 20+ years and love all it has to offer. Charming downtown with quaint shops, beautiful beach, sunsets, boating, the Ludington State Park and so much more. Although we are not originally from here, moving here was like moving back home.

Why they chose this property

We purchased this little gem for its quaintness and 1940's charm. It has a relaxing atmosphere where you can sit on the porch and enjoy the summer afternoon breeze or an evening by the firepit to roast some smore's and have great conversation.

What makes this property unique

We renovated this cottage in the Fall of 2021 while keeping the 1940's charm along with modern updates. And of course, our main goal is to make cozy and comfortable for our guests!
