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

Great place, location & amenities

Tons of outdoor area, a comfy living room and 2 bedrooms with a jack and jill bathroom. Kitchen stocked with enough to make meals if thats your thing. Clean throughout, comfortable beds, great sunset views over the water.

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!

Hamlin Lake

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!

Place was great.I spent only time to sleep & change clothes. No toilet paper to be found.

If I'm ever in need for this area again I would return & check for tp. I would love to just enjoy the place.

Hamlin Lake

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

Weekend getaway

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.

Hamlin Lake Getaway

My husband is an avid fisherman and this cottage was perfect for us to get away and do some fishing and shopping in town. This cottage was perfect for our needs and we had a great time. Will definitely stay again.

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!
