About the host
Hosted by Nathan Grubich
We have lived in Ludington for sixteen years. We moved here from out east and have absolutely fallen in love with the area. We enjoy all that the area has to offer and prefer our feet wet any chance we get. The luxury of having both Lake Michigan and Hamlin Lake at our finger tips allows us to do just that. Depending on the season and the conditions we are able to enjoy either lake with our family. We own a small business in downtown and are just so lucky to be a small part of the evolution of Ludington. The downtown has so much to offer both locals and visitors it makes time spent in Ludington truly one of a kind.
Why they chose this property
We fell in love with our cottage because of the layout and family space. We love the large dining room for family meals or entertaining friends. The covered porch is the sweetest spot at the end of the day. Looking out at Hamlin Lake and watching boats and kayakers come and go through the south bayou is pretty sweet.
What makes this property unique
Hamlin Lake and the South Bayou area set you back in time a little. It's truly nestalgic yet close enough to downtown and all the amenities it has to offer. The drive to the State Park is beautiful and picturesque and not but 5 miles away. Whether you're playing in Hamlin or Lake Michigan it's all in the neighborhood. When you visit you'll see all there is to love. #PureLudington!
