We visited this amazing cottage for 4 days with family. The communication with the owners throughout was fab and the cottage had everything we needed . In fact I’d say the kitchen is stocked better than my own at home!!
We loved watching the sunset whilst enjoying a beer & warming up by the fire pit in the garden. Did some amazing walks in the nearby ludingnton state park & a day trip over to holland. We were all super sad to leave at the end of our trip & would highly recommend visiting here for a relaxing lakeside break !
Thanks rose & lew
What a great vacation retreat! The kitchen has absolutely everything you need to prepare meals. The kitchen cabinets are clearly labeled with their contents.
The beds were comfortable. It was a plus to have ceiling fans in the bedrooms and kitchen. The property is ideal if you have different age groups because it has two separate living and dining areas. Kids could be watching a movie in one room while adults are playing cards for example.
It was wonderful that we were able to bring our pontoon and dock it at the property. There was also room to park our trailer. The owner suggested two public launch sites. We chose the south one which was a mistake. You have to drive the boat under two bridges that are close to each other to get to Hamlin Lake. I guess the water level was a little high because the bridge scraped up our boat. We couldn’t fit all the way under it and were unable to turn around.
The property has beautiful views, a nice large lawn, firepit, gas grill and lots of outdoor furniture. We enjoyed fishing off their dock and watching mink run across the lawn.

Had an excellent stay for a family vacation. Great house, very clean and well maintained, amazing lake view, close to Ludington and surrounding areas. Hosts were excellent and very accommodating, will definitely stay here again.
We really enjoyed our 2023 Ludington family vacation in this home. The location was great for a beautiful view of the lake and for sunsets. Lots of room to relax in the two spacious living rooms and everything we needed in the kitchen. Already looking forward to next year.
We loved the property! It was the perfect size and location. Would highly recommend. Thanks Lew & Rose!

Why they chose this property
We have been visiting Ludington and Hamlin Lake for over 20 years and fallen in love with Lake Michigan and Hamlin Lake. There are lots of outdoor activities to keep kids and adults busy. While friends went to the heat of Florida we chose the beautiful scenery and cooler weather of Ludington.
What makes this property unique
Beautiful views of Hamlin Lake and the Sand Dunes. The State Park access is directly across the Lake from the House. Can't beat the sunsets over the State Park and Dunes.
