The lake view from the house is stunning! House was fantastic for our family vacation, and Shawn and Naomi were highly responsive throughout. The house was also very well stocked with everything you’d think you may need and more. We hope to stay here again!
Perfect LDW with extended family. This house is amazing. Super clean, so well appointed with everything from kitchen supplies to beach toys and all in between. Every amenity you could think of! Tons of games inside and out to keep everyone entertained. The pool and hot tub were a highlight. Highly recommend this home! It was a perfect stay and we will be back!
We had an incredible family vacation at this stunning property. The house was the perfect set up for our family of 14 with plenty of room, many amenities for countless fun, and amazing views. This tops the charts for our annual family vacation stay!!!

A group of a dozen or so friends has done an annual trip for 12 years and this is the nicest property we’ve stayed at. Great views, awesome beach & pool, clean house, well-stocked, comfortable for everyone. Highly recommend!
We just finished our stay here for a week, we have a large family with 5 granddaughters- we rent houses often and I will say without question this was the best house we have ever rented! It was set up and stocked like no other! We were all so impressed with the quality of the house, beds, towels, pool, hot tub, beach toys, paddle boards, I could go on and on.First rate rental, beautiful scenery, quite location and great sunsets! Rent this house, you will be glad you did.!

Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re thrilled to hear our home was the best rental experience your family has had. Knowing the house, pool, hot tub, beach toys, and paddleboards all helped make great memories for your 5 granddaughters means the world to us.
We’re so glad you enjoyed the peaceful location and those incredible sunsets over the beach. We take pride in keeping everything—from the beds and linens to the kitchen and outdoor spaces—ready so guests can simply relax and enjoy.
We’d love to welcome you and your family back for more beach days, pool time, and sunset views anytime!
We had family come from all over the US to this residence. The property, view and hospitality were best in class. The house was able to fit our large family comfortable and the views were stellar. We would definitely stay at this residence in the future.

Linda and her family are a great group! we highly recommend them to all host.
We do hope you choose to stay with us again.
Thanks so much Shawn and Naomi
Nothing but amazing things to say about our stay! The house has an amazing view of Lake Michigan and a well groomed path to get down to the beachfront. The hike back up is strenuous, but not long. Make sure to bring everything you need the first time, so you don’t have to make a second trip up. Plenty of space on both floors of the house to comfortably fit everyone and the bedrooms are tidy and clean with the upstairs ones having a great view of the Lake. Shawn and Naomi are very responsive leading up to and throughout the stay. I would gladly stay here again.
Our family had an absolutely incredible time. More than enough space for our group of 15. House was clean and as advertised, communication with owners with prompt and easy. We will definitely be returning.

Thanks so much
Shawn and Naomi
This was our family’s second stay here and it was so wonderful. Shawn and Naomi have thought of everything to keep at the house which makes traveling here each year so easy and convenient. They are amazing hosts. The house fit our 22 person family with no issue and was very spacious. We can’t wait to go back!
Enjoyed all the beautiful shades of blue water. The beach sand and the shallow clear water is worth the walk down. The sunsets were an event every night. BEST VACATION EVER!
What a fantastic week in Ludington! The house is everything we hoped it would be -- and more. Perfect for larger family gatherings (we had 10 adults and 5 kids for the week).
Plenty of room, tons to do, the heated saltwater pool was an excellent change of pace from the beach.
Absolutely recommend this property. Shawn and Naomi (and Ashley) are great hosts!

This incredible lake house has it all. Gorgeous views, great pool, well-appointed kitchen, quiet bedrooms, stunning master baths, spacious living rooms. I want to go back!
Absolutely stunning!! The house was gorgeous and the hosts are just great. The kids had so much fun at the pool and the beach was so beautiful and peaceful. The house had everything we could ask for and more. It’s a short drive to downtown Ludington from the house, which is a really neat beach town. Loved everything about this trip and would go back in a heart beat!

The house was amazing our only complaint was the 100 steps down to the beach, but that wouldn’t stop us from renting it again.

Hi Terry,
thanks for staying with us, The stairs do give us some exercise. I think climbing them earns me a beverage!
I hope you enjoyed the new 6 chase lounges at the beach.
