GREAT CABIN

beautiful home in the woods. Everything was as described. The only negative was the lake across the street was extremely weedy. It did not take away from the wonderful weekend we had. We would love to stay again in the future. Close to downtown Ludington and the beautiful state park that is a must see.

Great place for a family

The house was very clean and well maintained. The hot tub and fire pit were great outdoor activities for both the kids and the adults. The kids also loved playing in the woods around the house. The property itself is very secluded. The area is also great, close to Lake Michigan! Great for a family with a few kids. Definitely recommend!

Spiderwick

Not a great first impression. Weeds in the flower area, lots of spider webs around property and some inside. Dead bugs in door frames. They had kayaks but to get them to the water would be tough with the gravel road and hills.Hot tub nice.

cabin getaway

The house was cute and the location was beautiful, although a little farther from town than we had thought. There was plenty of room to park our boat and launch at nearby ramps. The only disappointment was the hot-tub which was not very clean, so we did not use it like we had planned.

We loved our time at the Arrowhead Cabin, the pictures do not do it justice! So beautiful inside and outside. If you like to cook, the cabin is perfectly stocked. The hot tub was great after long days of hiking and beach. The Ludington area is so beautiful with so much to do, I would definitely stay here again and recommend.

A peaceful, private getaway

This A-frame cabin had everything we needed - nothing more and nothing less - for a quiet week away to enjoy the beautiful scenery and outdoor fun that Michigan has to offer. The private location, while off the paved road in a peaceful spot in the woods, was a great jumping off point to get to many interesting towns and lakes. The host was very attentive and kind and provided everything for a comfortable stay. We wouldn’t hesitate to return for another visit!
