About this property

Weekly, summers- 2 night minimum rest of year.
This vacation home sits on a grassy 4 acre lot with beautiful views of Lake Michigan, both from the front yard- overlooking the Hydro Power Plant inlet, Pentwater and Silver Lake Sand Dunes, and the back yard 170 ft bluff - with views of the Ludington Lighthouse.
The back yard is tiered down to the wooded bluff- a great place to string up your hammock, or enjoy the patio furniture- and is teeming with wildlife ( deer, birds, red fox, bald eagles all frequent the property) The newly redone covered deck houses a large Weber Grill.

Feeling adventurous? Take a hike down the bluff on the rustic switchback trail to access the private, sugar sand beach! Take a walk along the shore, take a swim, or take the paddleboat out into the sheltered, shallow lagoon.
Don't want to work that hard? Take the short 2.5 mile drive South to the Summit township park- with a playground, tennis courts, pavilion, bathhouse and beach- or North to the Buttersville Beach. Stop in for a visit to the White Pine Historic Village on your way.

Plenty of space for the whole family

We celebrated the holidays with our family at this property. That means 9 adults, 3 teens, and 3 children. All except one of the adults stayed overnight and everyone was very comfortable. There was plenty to do. The kids and adults alike had fun with the pool and foosball table. The host left lots of board and card games. Everyone had a great time! We were there in the winter, and didn’t have enough time to really take advantage of the beach, hot tub, or fire pit. Maybe next time. Our dog had fun watching for deer and other wildlife out the windows. Beautiful view of the lake. We would definitely stay here again.

Very good overall

The location was perfect with the most breathtaking views of Lake Michigan from the backyard.The bluff stairts were easy to go down but a good workout coming back up .The lake was beatiful.The fireplace on the backyard was amazing we really enjoyed it and also the gas grill where we cooked mostly .Enough space for the kids to play outside.Very quite and private area. It was close to some amenities that we wanted to do.Outside overall was more than i was expecting.Back inside we had enough space for all of us.The beds on three bedrooms not very comfortable,we all complained of back pain waking up in the morning.Bathrooms including the toilets and shower /and shower tub need major updates.they were not looking good.They charge a cleaning fee but i hope they use it for good in the future but it was so dusty under the beds ,on all bedrooms as well and the floors needed a good mop and clean .Kitchen had everything you need to cook or use but we bought and use the disposable ones.Good selection of coffee and tea was another thing that we liked .I would book in the future just for the views and for the outdoor space and the lake ,not for the inside .

Best family vacation!!

We had such a great time! The view was beautiful. We spent most of our time down at the private beach. We went up and down the hill multiple times a day. Yes, it was a workout, but it made the beach that much better. We all feel more in shape after the week. Our 2 year old was able to climb some of the stairs herself, but we had to hold her most of the time. Our 6 and 8 year old had no problems. The hot tub was so amazing! The house was loaded with stuff and was very homey. Grateful for all of the towels. We met Kerry and she was very nice. The homeowners had a family emergency so we didn’t feel the need to bother them (I hope he is doing alright.) We couldn’t figure out how to press play on blue ray player. The remote didn’t work, we tried replacing the batteries, but were stuck on the movie menu screen. Also the grill didn’t work well, it seems like the regulator was bad, it only let out a small amount of propane. None of that mattered, but I figured I’d let you guys know. Thank you for everything!!

Birthday, Beach and Beyond

The house is perfect for family groups coming and going. I rented this property for three weeks and many people visited me while back in MI where I am from. The kitchen is equipped with everything known to Ina Garten. There are plenty of towels for bath, beach and hot tub. We had s’mores every night around the perfect fire pit. But, the view and beach are the things to applaud. The privacy is extraordinary from the porch to the yard and you have hundreds of feet of private beach. The White sand and clear water, sunny days and sunsets were exactly what we ordered. Yes, the hill from the beach was a trip but the young people took it as a challenge and 3 minutes 40 seconds was the time to beat. At 78, I moved slower at about 15 minutes, but managed it once a day. I considered it my regular workout and felt good about that. Kerry and Ron were delightful and accommodating and made all the details easy. Ludington is a fun little town but we rarely left the beach and the view. There is a fabulous “Fresh Fish” market 2 miles away. It was a sad day when I had to leave.
