Not what I expected.

We rented after Memorial Day weekend. The cottage was not exactly ‘overlooking’ the lake and the property was actually not well maintained. Lots of overgrowth. The deck was in need of some upkeep and the flower boxes were full of dead flowers. The inside however was great! Beds were so comfortable! Shower drain had a bit of a sewer smell. We did enjoy the sunset as much as we could see between 2 houses across the street. The cottage sits close to the road, up against a steep hillside. Cupboards were stocked with everything you need to cook. Towels were very nice. I probably wouldn’t book again.

Great Space To Unwind

Location is convenient, house adorable, furniture is a big denim hug. Cozy if its chilly at night - great deck area to get a nice tan. Bed is super comfy with a great view of water. And our favorite- a shower wand! Keurig handy as well. We ordered pizza up the road and had breakfast at Cafe 106. Played pickleball near water plant -nice courts.

Cottage stay

It was okay, but there were pet hairs on the furniture and on the bed. The water didn't taste good, so we had to go get water from the store to drink. The location was nice, but I was surprised by the 100 cleaning fee added on at booking, plus other fees, so it was more than twice as much as listed

Anniversary Weekend

Beautiful view of lake Hamlin, close to downtown Ludington and the state park. Cozy cabin, but not much privacy inside the house. You have to walk through bedrooms to access the bathroom. Check in and out was very easy. We had a lovely weekend!

Easy access. Cabin was clean and cozy. Spent most of our time outside on the deck looking at the lake. Quiet neighborhood and close to everything. Our only problem was the oven didn’t work. We all enjoyed our stay. Would definitely recommend staying here.

Quaint lake cottage, great location

Clean, quaint lake cottage. Had all amenities we needed. Wish we had time to stay longer and explore the area more, but this was a great landing spot for local salmon fishing AND making a college visit/game for a few days. Check in and out was a breeze. Thank you!

For some reason didn’t receive check in information until I had to call VRBO at time of check in and get info. Otherwise, it was a rustic cabin across the street from Hamlin. Clean and quiet. Owner was accommodating to allow me to stay additional night. No concerns

A nice place for a small family to stay. Good location for Hamlin lake and lake Michigan. We had a little issue when we first got to the rental but the owner came out quickly and did everything he could to remedy the problem.

Cutest lake house

I stayed here with family to go fishing in Ludington for the weekend. This home had all the essentials and it was just a quick drive to the lake. The beds were very comfortable and the view from the patio was the cherry on top. Daryl was very accommodating and communicative. We look forward to staying here next year!

Beautiful cottage convenient and comfortable

We have a family of four and we found our stay very comfortable. We had plenty space, made ourselves a nice dinner and really enjoyed our sleep and stay close to the Lake and many beaches and activities. Wish we could stay longer. Highly recommend this place.

Cozy Cottage

My friend and I stayed at the cottage for an overnighter on our way down to Holland, Michigan. The cottage is clean, adorable and well-maintained. We enjoyed the deck and the views of the lake across the street. We even had an Eagle come and visit us! We are definitely going to be staying here again.

Mother Daughter getaway

This little yellow house was a welcomed retreat to me and my 80 year old (very active!) mom. The location on Hamlin Lake is ideal. Quick drive into Ludington for food, shopping, walking. Across the lake is the Ludington State Park, which is lovely. Try to find the Lost Lake Loop trail- it’s a beautiful hike! Ludington locals were the friendliest peeps I’ve ever met! We had a wonderful time, and will return in the future. Thank you!
