Exactly what we needed

Our group of four stayed here for our annual week-long fishing trip and the place fit our needs perfectly. It is fairly close to some of our favorite fishing spots yet only minutes from shopping, gas, etc. It was clean and well organized. Communication with the host/owner was great and finding out that he is also a fisherman was a bonus. Recommended!

Weekend getaway

Our family and friends enjoyed a long weekend. The house and location were great. It was close to downtown Ludington and Ludington State Park. The house was better than the picture and description showed online. I would definitely recommend this property to anyone looking for a place that makes you feel like you are at home.

Nice place

Pros: close to beach, quiet, clean, wild turkeys in backyard, easy to find, nice open kitchen, property management was responsive Cons: listing said access to private beach but no instructions how to get to it, well water stinks like sulfur, toilet flushes slow, pricing was higher once all fees added, listing said one thing on vrbo while instructions said something else e.g. check in and out times

Quaint and Comfortable

We love Ludington. This is the first time we rented accommodations vs. using a campground or hotel. The home is a couple of miles out of the city proper. It is on a busy street with no sidewalks, but is situated on a big lot, so kids or pets have room to play away from the street. It quiets down overnight. The outside deck is nice. It’s a compact, older, smaller home, and the owners have done a good job keeping it clean and updated with quality materials. We felt like it was someone’s Summer home vs. a rental home.

We had a key question for the game room. Called the host. He answered right away and was courteous and helpful. The fire pit was a great hangout and everything worked in the house. Water pressure could have been better, but 4 grown men showered daily with no issues.

Perfect location! Close the water. House was immaculate and cozy. Perfect for families. Due to weather, we were unable to utilize the fire pit, however we enjoyed staying in and playing games. Hans & Kate truly have a beautiful home and ensure that you have everything you need to make your stay enjoyable. Highly recommend and will definitely be back! Thank you, for providing my family with a wonderful home for my family to create many memories.

Loved the cottage but not on a main road

The cottage was clean and fully stocked with everything we needed. The only issue is that the road is very busy being on a main road. The kids were not able to ride their bikes. Everything else was perfect.

Great cottage with a PERFECT location!

I can't say enough about how wonderful this place is!! It's clean, well maintained, and it's obvious that the owners have put a lot of work into making this a cozy & welcoming place. My family has stayed here a couple times and it keeps getting better! An outside shower has been added and the deck is the perfect shady, post-beach hang out. Speaking of the beach, the location is outstanding! It's a 3 minute drive to Ludington State Park which has several pull-out areas to access the beach. It's an easy 10 minute drive into Ludington itself which has all kids of cute shops and great restaurants. Overall, can't wait to come back!

No communication/horrible beds

I needed to speak with the property manager and emailed numerous times along with calling and no response. Every single bed in the house had to have been at least 20 years old and had no support. The description in the listing said the was a/c and when we arrived there was the tiniest window unit in the kitchen to cool the entire house which was 3 bedrooms so we roasted the entire time unless standing in the kitchen. Definitely very disappointed in this location. The plus is that it was very close to the ludington state park and sand dunes which were very quiet and peaceful

Adorable house 2 min from Lake MI!

Such a cute place!! Updated and clean. Spacious enough for our group of 6. Super cool shower outside to wash off the sand before coming in the house. Nice deck with lights and a big fire pit outback. Would totally recommend!! Only drawback is there is one window AC unit in the kitchen so the living room gets warm by the evening but we opened the windows at night to try to cool it off. Also it’s decorated SO cute! You can really tell someone worked hard on this! Only 5 min from Ludington state park. Loved it. Thank you!

Lawn needed mowed and tree needed trimmed.

We loved the inside of our house. Did not expect a window A.C. unit kept kitchen and dining room cooled other rooms were a little stuffy. Needs at least one more unit. Would have been nicer if lawn would have been mowed and tree by lane was trimmed. We liked the area and plan to visit again. Thanks for getting our big dog approved to stay with us.

Nice house and location

Nice house and decorated very cute. Could tell a lot of the amenities were new including the towels, sheets and pillows. Was in a nice location. Only a short drive to Sterns Beach and the downtown area or to the state park. The only negatives we encountered at this house was the back, main door dead bolt lock didn't seem to work which we were unhappy about and I found a bowl of leftover food in the microwave that the last residents but of forgot about and the cleaning people didn't find. Other than these two minor issues I would recommend staying at this rental.
