My stay at the Cartier Mansion in Ludington, Michigan, was a delightful blend of historic charm and modern comfort. This beautiful neoclassical mansion, dating back to the early 1900s, is a true gem in the heart of Ludington. The rooms were incredibly comfortable, with luxurious bedding and thoughtful amenities that made our stay truly relaxing. Jenna and Chris Simpler, the innkeepers, were exceptional hosts, displaying warm hospitality and catering to our every need with genuine care and attention to detail. Their passion for preserving the mansion’s rich history added a special touch to the experience. The breakfasts were a highlight, featuring creative, locally sourced dishes that were both interesting and delicious. However, for lighter eaters like myself, it would be great if they offered a continental breakfast option alongside the multi-course gourmet spread. Overall, the Cartier Mansion is a must-visit for anyone seeking a unique, history-filled getaway with outstanding hospitality. I highly recommend it and look forward to staying there again.

Our stay was wonderful. The Chris and Jenna were fantastics hosts. Breakfast was delicious and we loved that it was made with locally sourced ingredients. The history in the home was tastefully displayed and maintained the authenticity of the home. The bed in our room was very comfortable, bathroom had lots of towels and necessary items (shampoo, condition, body was, lotion, hair dryer), the hallway kitchenette made it easy to enjoy coffee/tea/snacks at anytime of day. We look forward to returning!

Great place to bring your loved one to relax!

As soon as we booked, we got a phone call to confirm our travels and check for dietary restrictions which I do have so I appreciated that. We got offered a complimentary upgrade for our room and it was so beautiful and cozy! The whole property was beautiful and decorated so nice for the holidays. Water and chocolates and coffee in our room along with robes. A fireplace added just a nice cozy touch! The breakfast was amazing and we will definitely be back to bring my in laws!
