Fun on The Bayou
My family and I stayed at Maggie's for 5 days and had a wonderful time. We found the house to have a nice cottage feel to it, and it was well supplied with incidentals for our use. We cooked our meals using the spacious kitchen and barbecuing on the grill.The view is incredible with great outdoor space for games and relaxing. We will be back next year for sure.

Family vacation at the Hamlin Lake house
My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property. We loved the amazing decor and woodwork in the home. It was very clean and cozy. The lake was inviting, and the home includes a private dock. The property manager was very nice and responsive. Check in and checkout were easy.

Peaceful family getaway
Maggie’s on the Bayou is a charming cottage on Hamlin Lake Bayou. Great time catching fish right off the dock—I can still hear the delighted squeals from our grandsons as they reeled them in. So much fun!
Maggie’s is clean and neat and so wonderfully decorated. We enjoyed relaxing on the patio and watching the grandkids play on the beautiful lawn leading down to the water.
I would recommend this to someone with a family who just doesn’t want to spend vacation nights in a typical hotel room! Ludington has so much to offer and Maggie’s is just a few minutes from downtown, state park, children’s museum and many more restaurants and attractions.
