Eminence is defined as a high, lofty place, an elevated land area, a piece of rising ground.

There are four bedrooms, including two master suites, both with king sized beds and full bathrooms. The master suite on the main floor provides direct access to your own private sitting area on the back deck overlooking the lake, inviting you to the day’s first cup of coffee. In addition to the suites, there are two other bedrooms, one with a queen bed and the other with four twin beds, which share access to the homes third full bathroom on the upper level.

A Slice of Heaven

Before I talk about the house and property, I commend the ease and promptness of communication with Heidi, the home owner. She was pleasant and helpful with all questions and communications. The home was clean and nicely decorated. The back wall of the home was all windows, giving you a beautiful view of Lake Michigan, no matter where you were on the first floor. The beds in all of the bedrooms were comfortable and lent to very restful sleep, especially if you opened a window and listened to the waves hitting the beach.the kitchen was well stocked with flatware and cookware. There was a nice sized fire pit surrounded by Adirondack chairs and there were Duraflame starters supplied to make starting a fire very easy. We enjoyed two evenings of fires with a beautiful view of the moon reflecting on the lake. We had visitors daily from a brood of deer that seemed to live nearby. The drive to Ludington was a short 10 minute drive. So, grocery stores, drugstores and restaurants as well as shops and galleries were nearby. All of those things lead to a fantastic vacation on the shore of Lake Michigan. We highly recommend this wonderful property and are grateful to Heidi for sharing her home with us. All of those things lead to a wonderful

beautiful getaway

we stayed for my mom's 70th birthday. It was a beautiful home with a beautiful view. The house was great. It was clean and well stocked with what is needed in the kitchen. There were goodies like local treats in the kitchen and soaps for the bathroom. The firepit was great. We spent a lot of time outside. We used the grill. The beds were comfy. The beach close by was lovely, and when we went we almost had it all to ourselves. It was off-season so it was challenging at times to find shops and restaurants. Hosts were very helpful in that regard. It was a great stay; sure we'll return.

Perfect family getaway

We really enjoyed our stay - our first visit to Lake Michigan and the sunsets around the fire pit were by far the highlight of the trip. The house is very well outfitted with everything we needed to be able to cook during our stay. The beds were very comfortable and my kids enjoyed the ping-pong table downstairs.

Perfect Place to Stay in Ludington

We are a group of 3 middle-aged adult sibling and spouses/significant others, no kids. We enjoyed being 10 minutes from everything in downtown Ludington, yet far enough away to feel private and at a "get-away". The owners are great to communicate with and made good on all they advertised. We all felt it was clean, very comfortable, well-appointed throughout, beautiful yet casual. When not in town we like to hang out and socialize. The comfortable couches, large dining table, spacious, cobweb-free waterfront porch and of course the large firepit gave us plenty of options to chill and chat. There is also nook-spaces to have a little solitude or private time. Lake Michigan provided a beautiful scene all day and night. Watching boats, the local ferry to Wisconsin (Badger), ships, ducks and gulls, gorgeous sunsets and morning fog, and even an awe-inspiring lightning show one evening. Even the wildlife was great. We had a couple deer mosey through the backyard early one morning and dozens of dragonflies buzzing around the backyard eating what few mosquitoes existed during the afternoon. We travel a lot and are ones who will say when something is bad or not up to our standards. Eminence exceeded our standards and made our family gathering perfect in all the ways a location can. We all highly recommend it.

Disappointing

Property had a ring camera on the back porch that was not disclosed to us beforehand. The camera made noise every time we passed it saying we were on camera. Disappointing because we mostly hung out in the backyard and now we know we may have been watched the whole time. Hosts admitted to us after the fact that they were unaware the camera's notifications were turned on. Hosts also charged us $50 after the fact an additional tip for their cleaner on top of the cleaning fee paid at the time of booking.

Wonderful stay at this lovely home!!

From the moment we opened the front door we were all delighted with this beautiful home! Every room is welcoming and decorated to give a cozy feel. It was very clean and well stocked with all we needed. It was so peaceful to sit on the softly lit back porch in the evening or around the fire pit overlooking Lake Michigan from the bluff. There were 10 of us in our family and we liked having plenty of room and tables for games inside and out. The location is perfect, and we visited Ludington, Pentwater and Hart which were all nearby. Heidi is a wonderful host and got right back to us with any questions. We all loved our stay at Eminence and hope to come back again!!

Eminence, a perfect description of the property/home!

Eminence is a gorgeous, beautifully decorated, well appointed and clean home with a very welcoming feel! Heidi is an excellent communicator who responds kindly and quickly to any questions you may have! The Meylan family’s property has amazing views of Lake Michigan! We spotted the Badger coming in and going out several times! Over our numerous trips to Ludington we have taken just about every cruise the Badger has to offer and enjoyed all! Viewing the fireworks from the Badger is very fun experience! Our favorite places to eat in Ludington are Stix and Jamesport Brewing! We would recommend going on the earlier side of meal time, especially if you have young children with you, as both places can get quite busy…at least that was true over the Fourth of July holiday weekend.

We Love Eminence

I think this was the fourth time we’ve visited and we are never disappointed. The house is immaculate and the views are beautiful. If you need something to do, restaurants and activities are a short drive into town. My kids (8 and 11) love staying here and list Eminence as one of their favorite places. Winter is a special time to visit because it’s so peaceful and relaxing with snow flurries, the lake, and visits from deer… it almost feels a little magical. Also… the owners always add extra touches. I was obsessed with the goat milk bar soap this time. Can’t recommend this house enough!
