À propos de cet hébergement

Falconhurst: cachette boisée rustique sur le lac Hamlin

«Falconhurst» était le nom que la famille suisse Robinson a donné à leur maison dans les arbres. . . un point de vue qui a servi de base pour des aventures. Notre chalet est élevé sur une falaise à l'ombre sur la rive ouest du lac Hamlin. Au-dessous du bluff se trouve l'une des rares vraies plages du lac, où l'eau peu profonde, non encombrée par un brise-lames, s'approfondit doucement sur une longue distance à un rythme progressif. Derrière le chalet est l'une des plus hautes dunes de sable de la région des Nordhouse Dunes et Ludington State Park.
La majeure partie de la rive ouest du lac Hamlin fait partie du parc d'État. En effet, c'est de l'autre côté de la rue et on peut se rendre au barrage du lac en 30 minutes environ. . . C'est un quartier calme mais remarquablement proche de Ludington pour un film de jour de pluie ou un sundae à la House of Flavors.

Il y a trois chambres, la pièce avant donnant sur le lac a une reine. BR # 2 a deux singles et BR # 3 a des lits superposés. Un «roll-a-way» supplémentaire et quelques lits bébé sont dans le placard. Nous avons également ajouté un lit pneumatique de taille standard. Une grande terrasse à l'avant offre un endroit ombragé / relaxant pour surplomber le lac. Le porche grillagé est un autre endroit pour se détendre et il y a une balançoire où, en tant qu'enfants, nous avons passé de nombreuses heures.

Les équipements incluent la télévision par câble, une cafetière, un lave-vaisselle et un four micro-ondes. . . ainsi qu'un poêle et un four bien sûr. Le coin salon comprend des canapés, une cheminée et une table. Pourtant, le principal avantage est la relative solitude près du lac et du parc d'État. NOUVEAU POUR @)!(: Buanderie avec laveuse et sécheuse.

Falconhurst est un chalet rustique sur une colline surplombant le lac. Si vous avez des problèmes avec les escaliers, Falconhurst n'est probablement pas un bon choix. Falconhurst est un excellent choix pour les familles avec des enfants d'âge scolaire. C'est un chalet sur un lac à côté des dunes de sable avec de grandes randonnées non loin de la porte, donc Ffalconhurst est favorisé par les familles ou les couples actifs en plein air.

The cottage was just as described. It was rustic yet comfortable. The location was nothing short of amazing. We enjoyed the beautiful calm sandy bottom beach and the calm pocket of water for boating and water sports. The view was beautiful and overall had a very relaxed calming vibe. The adults and teens had a wonderful time.

2nd stay

This was our second time staying with our family at Falconhurst and it was even better than the first. Our 3 and 5 year old loved the private beach and the Sandcastle children’s museum. We loved seating on the deck and sitting around the fire pit at night. The bathroom and shower room remodel was perfect and very convenient with having such a large family. We are so thankful to have the opportunity to stay again and make so many family memories.

Perfect location

A very long overdue family vacation with just the our family. This location was absolutely perfect in every way. Secluded, on a no outlet road, across from the state park with gorgeous sand dunes, it’s own private beach yet less than five minutes from some of the best and yet least used beaches I’ve been to in MI. Could not recommend this location and host more.

Besides the steps (50 up to cottage and 50 down to beach), Orkin Pest Control visiting twice in one week (had to close windows on hot days), flies and mice at night time in cottage, and needing one more box fan (no air conditioning) this is a great cottage on the quiet side of Hamlin Lake (5000 acre lake) with a sandy beach. Easy walk into Ludington State Park. Swim at beach. Kayaks and Paddleboards for exploring the water. Nice fire pit on the beach. Plenty of room for family of 5 adults to find time to play together or read separately.

Hi "M" . . .Thanks for the review (I think). Since you did not call or contact us during your stay, I guess this response is intended for those considering Falconhurst and visit reviews here: 1- In general, VRBO owners WANT you to be happy so, if you find you are not, give them a chance to help. (email/text/phone). Airing issues here is kind of complaining with no chance to provide a solution. 2-Falconhurst IS on a ridge - this is noted (even highlighted) in the description and pictures. Its not the highest on the ridge nor is it the lowest. The step count is not accurate and an exaggeration but, yes, it is not a place for someone who has issues with steps; 3-Falconhurst is in the Michigan woods. Full disclosure for those who may not be aware, deer ticks are a "thing" in Michigan. We have Orkin spray once a month and anyone considering a woodsy Michigan place should require this. I only got billed once - not sure why they would come twice in your week but I will find out. OK - safe travels.

Nice Hamlin Lake getaway

Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this unique property located above Hamlin Lake and just a few miles from our favorite Lake Michigan beaches. The house has several sleeping options, an awesome deck overlooking Hamlin and a nice private beach with fire pit. We enjoyed using the kayaks and paddle boards provided and the grandkids took several hikes across the road to the dunes. If you’ve a stargazer check these out at night! Thanks for providing such a nice location for our annual Ludington vacation!

Great getaway

We enjoyed our stay at Falconhurst very much. The house was very charming and had a lovely "up north" feel. It was close to town but the property itself was secluded. I was hesitant to book this site initially because of the comments regarding the bathroom and shower, but I'm so glad we decided to stay there. Yes, the shower is small, but it is comparable to a shower in a camper. We found it very doable and it did not affect our stay whatsoever. We had a great time and I would highly recommend staying at Falconhurst.

This cottage is rustic, yet it has everything that you need to be comfortable. The beach is perfect for the kids to play in the sand. The water is shallow and clean. It is in a quiet and private setting. Took some day trips to Ludington State Park which is beautiful. The kids went on adventures on the dunes across the street. We had a wonderful week, and we hope to return next year. Thank you for sharing your cottage with us.

My sister and I stayed the week with our families. There was plenty of room for the 8 of us. The cottage was very spacious. It was well stocked with kitchen supplies as well as bedding and towels. It was very clean. The free firewood was a nice perk. We enjoyed the kayaks and paddle boards. The lake was great for fishing and tubing. It was very close to Lake Michigan and downtown ludington.

Such a great week!

We have traveled to many VRBOs around Northern Michigan and this was definitely a favorite! We loved the location with the proximity to the State Park as well as the town of Ludington. My three young boys especially loved our “private” dunes across the street as they made us make the climb almost every day. We always love staying in older cottages and this one did not disappoint. It was spacious and yet cozy for our family of five. It had everything we needed for our stay and the laundry was a nice bonus too. We will definitely be back! Thank you Eric and family for sharing your home with us.

Family escape

Escaped city life for a week on Hamlin Lake. The property is as described, a cabin, with some nice amenities. As noted, the lack of AC is not an issue, lovely breeze from the lake and shade from the trees. Loved the kayak and SUPs, (brought our own life vests). Easy proximity to Lake Michigan beaches and downtown Ludington for daily excursions is a huge plus. Explored the trails and dunes across the street, wish we made more time for that. Only note for future guests is that the driveway is not paved so we had quite a bit of sand in our vehicle by the end of the week to vacuum out when we got home. Overall a great week Up North.

Perfect Vacation Stop

Cabin is much larger than pictures portray. Very clean. There are lots of stairs but we had no problems and didn’t see it as an inconvenience. We were nervous about the bathroom due to reading past reviews but we felt as though it was perfectly fine. Shower was plenty big and we enjoyed that the shower was separate from the actual restroom especially with 7 people. We loved the private beach and deck. It made for the perfect “slow down” vacation. We also enjoyed that it was not a far drive from town. We enjoyed local coffee shops and playgrounds. The Sandcastle Children’s museum was a huge hit with our toddlers. Everything we wanted to do we were there in 10/15 minutes. Owner answered all of our questions and made it simple to book. 10/10 recommend.

A Wonderful Spot to Create Family Memories

My husband and I and our school-age daughters spent a week at Falconhurst and loved it! We had not been to Ludington / Hamlin Lake before but hope to return. The cottage was appointed with everything a family were to need. It was cute and comfortable with lots of room. The surroundings are beautiful--between the quiet, sandy beach, and the towering pines and lovely woods, the location can't be beat. The dunes across the street were incredible--we climbed them many times and watched the beautiful sunsets over Lake Michigan.......that was a highlight of our stay. The homeowners were very conscientious and helpful. Our only suggestion might be to offer a DVD player for rainy evenings. Thank you for helping our family create lasting and happy memories! It was a pleasure to stay at your unique cottage!

Relaxing in the trees

The cottage was a delight. Trees out every window, lake with a sand beach down the stairs off the deck, forest and dunes just across the street. It's the sort of place where stress melts away as soon as you arrive. My friends and I had a lovely time playing in the lake, climbing the dunes, sleeping late in the comfy beds, hanging out on the deck listening to birds and the lake, then wandering into town for provisions and meals out. The cottage was perfectly comfortable, filled with everything we needed, and located in a spot that felt like it was away from the world while being super close to every outdoor or city amenity we wanted. Our host was quick to answer any questions, and the cottage was well stock with a full kitchen and all sort of niceties like throw blankets for cool evenings, USB ports on the night stands, and lots of information about things to do and see in the area. We had a delightful time and hope to go back soon!

Location!

Property is in the perfect location. On a beautiful lake with private beach. Sand dune climb across the street was amazing, hiking trails down the street. Smaller inland lake 2 minutes away and Lake Michigan access within 3 minutes, not to mention very close to downtown Ludington. Appreciated all the water toys- kayaks and paddleboards and lifejackets provided. The wrap around deck was amazing to sit out on and view the lake and listen to the waves. (Just wish the overgrown weeds could be trimmed as they obscured the view of the lake, did not look like picture in listing). As mentioned in the listing, the house is definitely "rustic", would have given 5 stars if not for the bathroom accommodations. We can deal with small bathrooms, but bathroom practically not functional. Walls are particle board in which smelled like mold. Shower was so tiny could barely turn around and toilet was so close to wall, would likely think about renting again if not for the bathroom. Overall though had a great time!

Well, the bathroom IS small and spartan to be sure . . .but its a lake cottage in the woods and the john is typically not a place to spend much time - and the price is on the lower half. That said, "mold" is strong language and caustic in its own right. We made a special trip and interrupted current guests to check (would have been kind to actually call our cust sat manager on this) . . .anyway, no mold. I have secured a contractor for the end of the season . .new pics this winter. For anyone reading this, if a VRBO someone provides a phone number for customer sat and you don't use it, well then using a word like "mold" is less than fair and kind of malicious. Well we had a massive fail on communication-but it does take two. Have a good summer.

Nice place for famlies

Falconhurst is a nice old cottage. If you grew up with a cottage you will appreciate the simplicity of being there. Beds were comfortable and the cottage was clean when we arrived. There is a newer laundry room which was very convenient. Hamlin lake is beautiful and is great for fishing or relaxing. The beach area is great for kids and by 1:00 it is mostly shaded so your not baking in the summer sun. The one thing to know is the bath and shower ares are quite small. My daughter was staying with us and she is 7 months pregnant. The bathroom was just not useable for her and difficult to use if your tall. We ended up having to rent a hotel room which was a large additional cost which was not planned. If planning a stay i would request pics of those areas maybe even with a person in the room so you can make an educated assessment of whether it will work for you. I'm sure for most its fine but for my taller family is was an issue. Overall though the cottage is a great place to stay and having the beach, if you have children, is a big bonus.

Best Michigan Summer Rental!

My husband and I and our two boys (3 and 6) stayed here for over a week over 4th of July and had various family members and friends stay with us as well during our trip. The location of the house is amazing and photos don't do the property justice. It is the perfect, most idyllic lake cottage. The beach is enormous and paddle boards and kayaks are provided. With two energetic boys, this was a dream come true. The lake is very shallow so I had no hesitation letting the boys swim on their own. They played for hours in the water and on the beach while we could relax watching them. There is a fire pit which we roasted marshmallows at many nights. You are next to the Ludington State Park and have access to the dunes across the street. The location could not be better. The bathroom has been updated and it works wonderfully, I appreciated the fact that the bathroom and shower were separated as well. Eric was the most accommodating and responsive host I have ever encountered. He was there to answer any questions we had. If you are looking to rent a quintessential Michigan lake cottage, this is your place. It truly was one of the best vacations we've ever had and we made wonderful memories there. Highly recommend for families especially those with younger children.

Charming lake house in awesome location for outdoor activities

We had an amazing week at Falconhurst. It had all the rustic charm of a little old cabin in the woods with all the fun of being right on Hamlin Lake & the Ludington dunes (trail to the top right across the street). We climbed the dunes several evenings after dinner to enjoy the sunset over Lake Michigan. We really appreciated the provided kayaks. They made for some great exploring of the lake and the canoe trails. The big family room table provided plenty of space to eat together and to play games at night. We totally loved the rustic style and we’re happy to read the history of the cottage and imagine the memories that have been made there over the last 99 years. The lack of a/c was not a big deal as the temps went down nicely at night and there are many fans provided. The bathroom being divided into a separate shower room and a toilet room was very helpful. We had 7 adults/older teens and didn’t have a problem. Yes, there are a lot of steps getting in to the cottage as well as to the lake, but that was very clearly written in the description and we were ready for the extra workout to work off all of our vacation meals and desserts. If you’re looking for a modern & pristine condo-like space, this place is probably not for you. If you are looking for a historic, charmingly rustic lake cottage in the woods, you will be at home at Falconhurst.

OMG Holly - It gives our whole family such joy to see others enjoy Falconhurst - and adventure in the lake, the trails, and the dunes like we did as kids . . life before cell phones and TV'. A CNTL-ALT-DEL reset for a busy life. Thank you.

À propos de l’hôte

Hôte : Eric H

Image de profil de l’hôte
This cottage was built by our great-grandparents after they arrived from Sweden. It has been the center of great family outings and get-togethers. Many updates throughout the year but it still maintains the beautiful view and access to a beach that is great for kids-of-all-ages

Voici pourquoi l’hôte a choisi cet hébergement

Located on "Piney Ridge Road", Falconhurst overlooks SW lower Hamlin Lake . . .it is not far from town but yet a world away. With a giant sand hill across the street (100 feet away and 100 feet high?), it is just a special place for summer adventures.

Voici ce qui rend cet hébergement unique

There are exceptionally few places on Hamlin Lake that have a true sandy beach where you can wade in and gently get into deeper water. Even fewer across the street from the sand dunes..
