You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Beach across 1 Street! Location at it's finest!

Enjoy it all...a super clean, relaxing and enjoyable home that is only 1 street away from the beach! Treasure your time with making memories in a quiet neighborhood that is surrounded by vacation amenities. Cross one street and you will be at the City Beach known as Stearns Park. Mini Golf, concessions, volleyball nets, pier, and light house, along with a skate park and playground encompass the beach area.

5 walking blocks away is the downtown area which is known for shopping, restaurants (Indulge at House of Flavors Ice cream shop and restaurant- famous for countless flavors and smiles), Sand Castle Children's Museum, Library, Bike Shop & Rentals, Marina & Playground.

All aboard...Cruise Lake Michigan S.S. Badger Carferry from Ludington to Wisconsin daily. Go for the afternoon or overnight. Some travelers bring their vehicle on the carferry while others step on board. Conveniently located only a couple blocks from downtown, all within walking distance of this rental.


Relax indoors or out in this well kept 4 bedroom home. Peek a boo views of Lake Michigan from the kitchen, downstairs and upstairs west bedrooms. 2 bedrooms on the main level and 2 upstairs. Fresh linens provided for use in the home. Listen to the waves sitting in the yard or view the majestic sunsets. Cross the street to go fishing and savor a late night dinner on the grill!

Guests you will love the size of this yard! A lot of properties do not offer the size and layout of this entertaining sized yard especially with trees and open sunny space. It is hard to believe your in the city. Cool and comfortable in the shade part of the yard and sunny and bright in the other part of the yard. Regardless of where you are enjoying it there is plenty of room to sit and play! Relax on the patio that has spring chairs (like rockers) or sit in the adirondack chairs while roasting marshmallows otherwise, sit near the back door for a shaded conversation or perhaps in front of the house to watch the deer across the street (they do visit our yard too).

If you are Flying into Michigan here are a few options nearby:

1. Grand Rapids Airport (GRR) : This is located in Grand Rapids, MI It is about 1.5 hours
south of Ludington. This airport offers the most options for flights.

2. Muskegon Airport: This is located in Muskegon, MI. It is about 45 minutes south of Ludington. Their are less flight options but is is closer.

3. Traverse City Airport: Located in Traverse City, MI. It is about 1.5 hours North of Ludington.

4. Coming from Chicago? Amtrak train will depart from Chicago and stop in Grand Rapids, MI and Holland, MI. Both cities offer Budget and Hertz Car Rentals. Regardless of which city you depart from it is about 1.5 hour travel time to Ludington via car. Holland Amtrak station unloads passengers downtown Holland which is an award winning downtown community. It is landscaped with beautiful flowers, free standing brick fire pits, great shopping, an array of clean restaurants, and a splash pad for the kids! This opportunity to travel via Amtrak would allow you to stretch out visit the downtown area and check in at 4:00 or after.

We liked that there was room to spread out. We cook most of our meals and we found everything we needed. It’s within a short walk to the lake and most places in the downtown area. We definitely hope to stay again!

Solo
I spent most of my time this weekend as a solo in the cottage as my teens had a 3 on 3 basketball competition in the area. Town was busy because of it, and this cottage was our relaxing retreat away. It was so peaceful watching the deer and little fawn nibble across the street. I am a bit embarrassed to admit that I fell asleep in the Adirondack chair listening to the birds in song. The house was clean, well appointed and had more room than we needed. The host was kind and left me good coffee which was a God-send after the journey. The street was a little crazy with Gus Macker 3on 3 ball going on (lots of turn arounds in the drive and people looking for parking) but I would assume there would be very little traffic on a normal week. The night time beach walks were my favorite time. The fish were jumping, sunsets amazing and the images of the bagger passing the lighthouse brought me back to my youth. This is Not a wheelchair friendly cottage, but the second floor made my kids feel like they had their own hang out. Possibly a place for a grand parent to bring teen grand children for a week. Plenty for teens to do in walking distance. I travel for my job and stay a lot of places, this cottage was nostalgic, and what you would expect from a historic neighborhood….better than a hotel choice. Hope we are lucky enough to book again next year.

Very nice and cozy! Excellent Customer Service too!
Stacy was INCREDIBLE to work with. There's zero doubt that her first priority was us being happy with our stay. Only one thing of note... When we arrived, there was a slight odor of what smelled like cat urine, which, as we all know is VERY difficult to get rid of. It wasn't completely overwhelming, but it was there, several of us commented on it. BUT, it wouldn't stop me or my friends from staying here again. Overall - it was a GREAT experience in a wonderful house with a great location and an incredible 'Host'.

Convenient and Quaint
Convenient to beach (1 block walk, might need a wagon for beach stuff) and town (4 block walk to the beginning of shops etc.). House was clean and comfortable. Would be nice to have table lamps by the beds. Some furniture and the kitchen are showing their age, string pull light in pantry was a throwback. Last step in basement has a higher rise than the rest- be careful. Chipmunks and deer were a cute surprise in the neighborhood.

The place is literally a block away from the beach! Althoigh the weather was not on our side during our stay there was lots of other things to do around the area. The state park is also a beautiful place to visit that is not very far away as well. The owner was very communicative about everything. Really easy to talk with as well. Would love to go back there again.

Great location
The location of this house is wonderful. The amenities seem like they’d be great for a family. Though the house has a tub, it is not functional and does not hold water for a tub. I wish that information was provided ahead of time. The house has a dishwasher and washer/dryer, but soap wasn’t included. The house requires no shoes to prevent sand on the hardwood floor, which makes sense; however, there is no hose outside to rinse before coming inside. The host called multiple times before our stay, and knew we would be traveling with young children. When we arrived, every surface had glass decorative objects and faux or live greenery and vases. The house would be great for adults traveling together, but very young children may not be best for this house.

Stacey was amazing. We booked at the last minute due to a recent traumatic event that changed our plans. We absolutely love Ludington and were so pleased with our stay. My grandchildren loved the house. They claimed their rooms and made themselves at home. It was one street away from a beautiful beach. The neighbors were very friendly. Stacey provided hot chocolate and s’more supplies for us. We were also provided wood for our nightly backyard fire. It was a wonderful stay that helped to heal our hearts. Stacey is a very kind and genuine person.
