Almost Perfect
Three couples stayed the weekend at this property in town to attend a wedding celebration on Hamlin Lake. It was wonderful except we were looking forward to the hot tub as noted in the listing. There is a jet tub in the master bath, but we were disappointed not to find a hot tub.

Beautiful home, perfect for a group
We had our immediate familt stay including my parent's, sisters family and my own and the house accommodated us perfectly. The kids loved exploring the "big house" and going on bike rides and the adults enjoyed laughs around rhe kitchen and dining room tables

A great place
The house is lovely with kitchens and bathrooms superbly modernized and fabulously equipped, plus there are in house laundry facilities. There were so many extras that made our stay extremely pleasant and comfortable. I'm not convinced that it would sleep 12 comfortably, but six of us did fine. The outdoor area is excellent, and we spent a lot of time there. The location is ideal for walking, the street is quiet, and we really couldn't have asked for more. I highly recommend.

Family reunion 2024
Loved the kitchen. Great selection of DVD for the kids. Had fun on the bikes especially the tandem. Upstairs was a bit quirky and hot but we eventually sorted it out. Nicely decorated and the location was perfect

Spacious house, perfect location and great host
House was lovely with efficient use of space. My sister and I stayed with our families, including 5 teens, and everyone was comfortable. House has such quaint classic features but kitchen and bathrooms are fully updated and quite spacious. Location is central and walking distance to several shops and restaurants. Host was responsive and helpful! I highly recommend.

Home sweet Ludington
As soon as we drove up to the house and saw all the details and Halloween decorations we knew it would be a fantastic stay! Shane has everything in the house you would need; coffee bar with creamers and sugars to choose from, a fully stocked, gorgeous kitchen, with everything labeled for ease of use, and a beautiful skylight! The outdoor space was perfect to relax on and let the dogs play, and the living room perfect for cuddling up to relax after many long days of hiking. Every TV has remotes velcroed to them so they are easy to find! The bar and living room were stunning and Shane even gifted us with a bottle of wine to enjoy during our stay as well as popcorn and many coffees, teas, and hot chocolate to drink! The bedrooms were spacious and comfortable with spacious showers, a jacuzzi tub, and lots of towels along with showers stocked with the essentials. The house is merely steps away from many restaurants and areas to explore, and a quick drive to the beach and Ludington State Park for lots of hiking. This house was an absolute gem of a find and I cannot thank Shane and Little P more for allowing us to stay there for a much needed respite from every day life. Shane was kind enough to let us bring our four dogs who go everywhere with us, and that is nearly impossible to find in a travel home. We adore Ludington and cannot wait to be back!
