Hamlin lake

Such a magical place. Enchanting winding woods road and a serene view from the lakeside deck. Stunning sunsets and starry nights. Super quiet cottage from the inside, with comfortable furnishings and well stocked kitchen. Downtown Manistee and Ludington for dinners. Nordhouse Dunes Wilderness area and Lake Michigan @ Manistee area for some spectacular views of Lake Michigan. Morning fishing on Hamlin Lake with great success. A wonderful time was had by all!

Secluded get away

We had a wonderful stay. The house is well appointed with everything you need. Beds are comfy and front porch is great for morning coffee. The doc was perfect for our 19 ft boat with bumpers built in to protect the boat when waves are rough. This end of the lake is remote with some weeds, but also a little more protected from wind. The boat launch is about 30 minute drive but only about a mile across from the house. We were able to leave the boat in all week. It's about 35 minutes to Ludington. Last 5 miles you are on dirt roads getting back to the house, but they are well maintained. We loved the privacy and would stay again. Sharon was very responsive with all my questions. Fantastic house!

Fabulous house

We needed a place that was pet friendly and had at least 3 bedrooms with beds suitable for tall people. We also wanted to be very near or on Hamlin Lake. This place was perfect. It had all the items you would expect to find in your own home.

Lakelife!

We loved our stay! The property was clean, well-equipped, and right on the lake. We all had a wonderful time cruising the lake, hiking in the woods, kayaking, and hanging out by the campfire. We got to see some wonderful sunsets and Sharon was so attentive when we needed her. The cottage itself boasts wonderful lake views, 2 porches, and a bevy of books and games. We didn’t need the AC on this trip, but it was nice knowing it was there. I really can’t complain about a thing.
