About this property
The Hideaway of Ludington - Beautiful home in the downtown area
The Hideaway has been welcoming visitors looking to 'spread out' and relax on their vacation to this quaint town for years.
Our home was built in the 1800's and has stood the test of time and brings repeat visitors back year after year. We're located in a quiet peaceful neighborhood just 2 1/2 blocks from Ludington Avenue (the main street of Ludington) and just five blocks from the marina, lighthouse and large public beach that makes Ludington famous.
With its large size our home is great for large and extended families or friends looking to get together. Need a smaller unit? Contact us for details on renting just the upper or lower unit. We'll be happy to talk to you and explain these options.
Downstairs features lots of room with three bedrooms (king, queen, double), a spacious living room, formal dining room, large kitchen, laundry room and bath making it perfect for families, extended families or groups of friends.
The upper level consists of an eat-in kitchen, living room, bath, king bed in the master bedroom and a second bedroom attached to the master that consists of four singles beds and room for sleeping bags or air mattresses. This is perfect for couples, couples with small kids, or friends looking for an affordable way to enjoy Ludington.
Each year, visitors leave comments about their stay in a book for them to leave their memories. One thing is certainly true: the saddest part of the trip is when it is time to go. They love their stay in our home and enjoy the many wonderful options that are in walking distance to them: downtown and its shops, restaurants, bars and antique stores, the public beach, the lighthouse, and marina. Visiting the State Park is a seven mile beautiful bike ride with the water on one side and sand dunes on the other.
With an ice cream store and downtown in walking distance, kids love the ability to seek-out adventures or a scoop of ice cream on their own.
Each morning and evening, you'll hear the Badger car ferry sound its horn and if there is a bit of fog in the early morning or late at night, you'll listen to the sound of a lighthouse letting ships know where it sits.
We hope you'll enjoy your vacation in about as relaxing a place as we believe you'll find anywhere.
Sincerely, Mike, Maureen and our children Michael, Matt & Kevin

Wonderful stay, house was clean and comfortable with plenty of room for our family trip. Lots of restaurants and shops nearby as well as great spots to enjoy the outdoors.
Could not have been more perfect!!! Host went above and beyond to make sure we had an amazing experience. In addition, this is the cleanest str I’ve ever been to- and this house is huge
Had a great stay in Ludington. The house had everything we needed. What we liked best was the location. We took several family strolls to downtown, the marina area, and the Lake Michigan beach front, all just a few minute walk. We also took the opportunity to ride bikes from the house up to the State Park. We will definitely try to get back next year.
Perfect location for a summer get away! The house is as promised with plenty of supplies including dishes, cookware, towels and more. Nothing fancy, well worn and loved with plenty of comfy beds, eating areas, smart tvs, room ac units and sitting areas. Ludington is amazing with beautiful beaches, playgrounds and shopping within walking distance. We had a great week
This home was just perfect for our friends to gather for a long weekend in Ludington for a wedding and reception. Neighborhood was friendly and the home was within walking distance from downtown shopping and food!
Our family was in the TNT demo derby at the Mason County Fairgrounds for the weekend! The hideaway was perfect for us the location was great and the house fulfilled all of our needs! Mike was great to work with!
My friends and family came into Ludington for a wedding and the Hideaway was a perfect place to house a larger group. The location was fantastic with it being a short walk to downtown and the beach. I would highly recommend staying here.
