Cozy Clean Cottage

We really enjoyed our stay at the Little White Cottage! The place was clean and had everything we needed for our short stay. We appreciated the beach towels and chairs. Location was great, as it was close enough to town and the Ludington State park.

Cute Spot to Stay!

This little cottage was well decorated, comfortable, and had pretty much everything we needed. A little walk to Hamlin lake, a short drive to the state park/beach, and not too deep in the woods lol.It's a good spot for a romantic getaway. Despite the hot weather we've had, the owners had the fans running when we got there and it was comfortable. Nice quiet area, too.

Birthday & Anniversary celebration - perfect place

My husband and I came up to Ludington, first time visiting Michigan. It was so fun! What made it even easier was finding The Little White Cottage. The owner was prompt to reply and the cottage is just as it shows in the pictures. It was the perfect place to get away. Close to Hamlin Lake and Lake Michigan. It definitely gets a 10/10 for cleanliness which is one of my top requirements. It is located perfectly for getting around to different activities. If you’re there you will pass STIX restaurant- give it a try too. Thank you for sharing your home with us. Next time in the area we will definitely reach out again!!

Up North Fall weekend

We had a great stay at The Little White Cottage. So nicely decorated and exceptionally clean! Our son loved the little snack options left for us! Great location between the town of Ludington and Ludington State Park. Quick drive to see the sunset, which we enjoyed each night! Also enjoyed the lovely fire pit! Host was quick to reply when we asked for assistance with heat. If we stayed longer than a weekend, we might have found the lack of kitchen counter space more tricky (we eat most our meals in) and the low water pressure in the shower more difficult if trying to get off sand/sunscreen. Would definitely stay again!

Sweet little spot

We had a great stay at the cottage! So clean, very cute, and perfect size for a couple. The house has everything you could possibly think of (or forget) for your stay. We especially appreciated the beach towels! Super close to the lake and a short drive to town. It felt secluded and the area was quiet. We can’t wait to come back!

Great Little White Cottage

This property is well situated, close to Stearns beach, downtown, and the State park/Hamlin lake. It is very cozy and well equipped. The bed was comfortable and the sleeper was reported as comfortable by our 5 and 7 year old kids. We love visiting Ludington and this relaxing place added to the fun we had, making everything easy.

Peaceful Little Spot Outside Ludington

We really enjoyed our stay here! The space is very cute with all sorts of great design touches. We had two little ones with us (2 and under) and there was enough space to fit both portable cribs in the bedroom. The kitchen and bathroom were small but had everything we needed. The host was very friendly and prompt in all communication. I would absolutely rent this place again, but a few things I wish I would have known first with kids: The only way to get into the unit is down a few metal grid stairs. Totally easy for adults but a little tricky for young kids/strollers. The front living room has no curtains or shades so there isn’t too much privacy anywhere but the bedroom/bathroom and in the summer the it gets light very early. The unit also does not have any A/C. We were able to stay pretty cool with the fans running but this is just something to keep in mind if you need to sleep cold. Ultimately we really enjoyed this spot! We think you would like it too!
