Absolutely beautiful house! Excellent location. Clean and well-furnished!
This house was built in the late 1800s and is absolutely beautiful. There are a/c units throughout which kept the temperature comfortable. The beds were comfortable and we had plenty of room for our extended family. You can’t beat the location!

Great place, perfect location, fun times!
The DG house was a great place to stay for the whole family! Plenty of space, lots of historical charm, walking distance to all the fun Ludington has to offer. The host was very easy to get a hold of. Beds were comfortable. Living and dining spaces were great for the whole family to gather. Two fridges makes it easy to stock up on food. We had one issue with the grill and the grill was replaced the next day! Awesome! The AC at the property is not central air, but window units. One of the units had a problem, and the kitchen got a bit warm. But this was a very minor issue and the only negative. We would absolutely consider staying at the DG house when we return to MI (hopefully sooner rather than later). Thank you!
