Comfortable house!

My family and I had a great stay at this home for a lovely weekend. Within walking distance to shops and restaurants. Lots of extra space and thoughtful “extras” available such as toiletries and seasonings. Would stay again and hope to be able to next year!

Cozy home

The home was very quaint and cozy. Check in was a little confusing because there were 2 lockboxes at the door entrance, with one not working and had not been removed. Once that was figured out, there were no issues. We loved the screened in porch and spent most of our time when we were at the house there.

Family Friendly and Great Location!

We were so thrilled to have found this great location in Ludington for our family! So close to everything in town and the beach, this charmer was convenient and a good fit for us. The home has had some renovations and so I would imagine updates are in progress. No air conditioning, but many fans provided to help beat the occasional hot day. We especially enjoyed the double rocker, screened in sunroom and outdoor patio! We hope to return and look forward to seeing how the property evolves over time. Thank you for hosting our stay!

Amazing 👏

I had a great time, so did my family too. Including the family dog Loved the place. Walking distance from downtown. Very clean and great amenities. Only wish They had air conditioning. When I went 80°+ Improvised, I went and bought four box fans. Open all the windows. Turn the ceiling fans on. A lot more comfortable. Definitely would stay again!!!

Quiet getaway just blocks from downtown Ludington.

We chose this home for our two-day visit to cap off a Michigan camping trip. The house was airy, charming, and in a quiet neighborhood. We walked over to downtown for meals but would have enjoyed using the kitchen (which had all the necessary equipment and utensils, not something we take for granted in a vacay rental). It was an easy walk to the city beach and the sunsets did not disappoint. Michael and Michele were very responsive with the few questions we had, and the guest instructions were clear and straightforward. Definitely hope to return for a longer stay sometime soon.

Great place and location and would book again

Group of 6 stayed over for July 4, which was two nights. Lovely place in a fantastic location by downtown. I have some picky people in our group, and everyone was happy with it. Hot tub was a hit. Reasonable walk to the beach. Home is well stocked with what we used, so toiletries, towels, and dishes/utensils. Didn't cook anything, so can't comment on that. Ceiling fans everywhere and some floor fans to help with no AC; the fans worked well. Host was a very good communicator. Would book again workout reservation.

We were not able to relax

The first evening we arrived we got locked out. The door unlocks from the inside, which we did before stepping out to enjoy the patio before calling it a night. When my friend and I went to go back inside, it was locked. Thankfully I had my cellphone with me and called the hostess. She had a friend come over and let us in. It all only took about 1.5 hrs and could have been worse. The next day we both planned on sleeping in but got awakened at 8 or 9 by a young man knocking on the door who claimed he cares for the garden patio and asked if he could use the bathroom. It was very hot during our stay and there isn’t air conditioning so I wasn't prepared to answer the door in my summer nightie. When he left, he left the gate wide open and my dog got out and started wandering the streets, took 15 min of running barefoot (in my robe!) to find him and get back inside the yard. This was very unsettling and could have ended terribly but thankfully didn’t. The next day Orkin showed up knocking at the door. I hadn’t checked my phone the night before but the host had messaged that they would be here. Again, the inside of the house with windows open all night was 80 and I was not planning on greeting anyone at the door. He ended up spraying the outside and after texting with the host she asked to allow him to come back later that day to get inside to spray the basement. The next day awakened early again by the mowing company. I did not enjoy my stay, was not able to relax.

About the host

Hosted by Michele Katz

Host profile image
I am a mother of three sons who is now retired. I am offering up my lovely Ludington home which I have owned now for 19 years. I first came here as a young woman in 1971 and that's when I fell in love with Ludington. Now it's my great pleasure to share my home with you so maybe you can make your own memories here.

Why they chose this property

I wanted to be close the beach on Lake Michigan while also being a stone's throw from downtown to walk to House Of Flavors or one of the many tasty restaurants in town.

What makes this property unique

It was originally built in 1892, but I have made my own upgrades and additions to the house since I first purchased it 19 years ago. This is a great place for a modest family or a group of friends to have an enjoyable vacation getaway.
