Good location, house was an older house which I liked. 6 and 9 yo grandchildren with us, perfect for the four of us. Nice back yard, fire pit, quiet neighborhood. Nice to walk to beach and to get ice cream. Everything was clean, no smell of pets. Thank you for letting us use your house!

2nd Stay here just as perfect as the first!

Great family home for the teens, kids, and pets! We walked everywhere and enjoyed the dining and beach trips. We drove to kayak at nearby parks; played disc golf at several courses; visited nearby cities, too. Wish we could have spent another week as everything was perfect. We will definitely stay here again!!

We stay at Vrbo homes regularly and we truly enjoyed our stay here! The location is perfect! The home is well stocked for those who cook at home. The accommodations were very comfortable and perfect for 4 adults 2 kids (13 & 16) and a dog. We loved how welcome they make you feel with a pet. We enjoyed the backyard for a fire pit and cornhole, as well as the front porch during quick rain spouts.

Great house in perfect location

I can’t say enough positive things about this property. It’s a charming and comfortable historic home a short walk from the city beach, the marinas, and all the shopping and dining Ludington has to offer. I have to say this was also the best appointed private rental we’ve ever experienced. Anything we needed was there (and that includes dog stuff)! Speaking of dogs: The backyard is fully fenced and very secure. You might just want to keep an eye on high jumpers.

This house has everything you need for a getaway. Walking distance to downtown Ludington, the park and the beach. We especially liked the fenced in backyard so our dog didn’t have to be tied up. Enjoyed the fire pit.

Great Place!

The property was awesome. Very close to downtown and the water. Had great 'hangout spaces' within the home and also out back near the firepit. They provided a firestarter and pack of logs -- THANK YOU!! -- for us to use while we stayed. It was very clean and had very clear instructions of how to be a good citizen while staying. Thanks for letting us stay in your awesome property

We truly loved this home, and everything about it. It was super clean and comfortable, and had everything we could possibly need. To be able to stay somewhere like this with our two fur babies means so much to us. The location is great, in a peaceful neighborhood and close to everything.

Fantastic Ludington Stay

The house was spotlessly clean. The communication with the owner was easy and any questions were answered immediately. It is very pet friendly. The backyard is completely fenced. The beds were very comfortable. Everything worked. The location to downtown is excellent. The neighborhood is clean and quiet. We would not hesitate to stay here again.
