Great place!

This is a great place for a small family. It’s wonderfully clean and cute. It’s very close to the lake, the local market, and the Main Street area of Ludington. Stacy was easy to communicate with to exchange keys and get some area highlights. The porch is awesome to relax and read a book especially since the street is pretty quiet. Overall it’s a great place for a laid back summer trip.

Cleanest VRBO I've ever seen!

My family and I have been staying in VRBO-like properties for over a decade - throughout the US and in several European countries. This property was far and away the cleanest we've seen. The hosts were easy to reach, welcoming and provided great information for perfect family vacation days. It is located within easy walking distance to town or down the street to the Ludington city beach & light house. We were worried about not being right on the lake, but loved having easy access to all the charm of Ludington. The only problem I can document is that my ice cream obsessed child discovered just how close we were to House of Flavors and we "had" to eat it every night on the way home. :) We had a great stay and plan to return!

This is a hidden gem!

This cottage sort of fooled us at first----it's in a neighborhood, but within mostly short walking distances of everything, which Ludington has a lot of! The cottage is a true "cottage" and it literally looks new inside and out. While it is small, the ceilings and doors are quite high so you never feel cramped at all. The bathroom and kitchen both will surprise you....very nice! The neighborhood is very quiet and safe too.
