We had such a wonderful time during our stay! It was everything we were looking for in a rental. The kids had their own room and plenty of soace to spread out. It was so nice having a kitchen space to prepare food!
Great location, privacy and all the amenities you need. Great location to the beach, downtown and state park. Perfect house for families with little kids.
This is my go to place every single October! I can’t say enough amazing things about it. The property itself is so perfect, the trail to the river is something I do everyday when I am there. I love the patio and fire-pit so much. Rainy days are actually so relaxing and calming to just watch a movie or read. Always looking forward to my next year!
The weather had finally cooled off for a perfect long weekend to enjoy Ludington. Fall in Michigan continues to offer amazing hikes and fishing. The cottage was perfect for our family. The size of the yard was most important for our 3 boys! Everynight around the firepit and running around! The kitchen and house was well equipped making cooking and grilling easy. The canoe was perfect for our sons to go fishing in Lincoln Lake.
Awesome little cottage in the woods. It was stocked with everything you need and more. Owner was great and responded quickly to your needs. The setting was very private and wonderful. Not a house anywhere around you that could be seen.
We enjoyed our stay in this cozy little cottage in the woods. It was lovely walking the path through the woods down to the river and then being able to kayak to Lincoln Lake. The cottage is just a few minutes away from town and the state park. Check in and out were simple and Bernadine was quick to answer any questions.
This cabin was wonderful! It was peaceful and nice and quiet set back in the woods. There was so much room for the kids to run free and the fire pit was a hit! The only thing that could make it even more perfect is maybe adding a little window air conditioning unit. Otherwise 100/10! We will definitely be back again!
Very clean, simple, met all our needs, but mostly we loved the privacy!!! The cabin was surrounded by woods on a 5 acre lot with a cute trail through the woods leading to Lincoln lake, equiped with kayaks availible for guest use!!
