About this property
Lakefront Escape on Lakeshore Drive - Sleeps 6+
Located directly on scenic Lakeshore Drive, this exceptional lakefront home offers a rare opportunity to experience the best of Ludington. Just steps from the award-winning Stearns Park Beach, the property provides immediate access to 2,500 feet of soft, white sand and sweeping views of Lake Michigan.
The home features three well-appointed bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and a spacious loft with seven additional beds—ideal for large families or group getaways. Two fully equipped kitchens and two comfortable living areas offer flexibility and convenience, while two expansive patios and a private yard create the perfect setting for outdoor dining, relaxation, and lakefront enjoyment.
From the living room, guests can watch the historic SS Badger ferry arrive and depart, all while enjoying the fresh lake breeze. In the evenings, gather around the firepits under the stars or take a short walk to downtown Ludington to explore local shops, restaurants, and the iconic House of Flavors.
Centrally located near Ludington State Park, Hamlin Lake, and miles of scenic biking and hiking trails, this home offers easy access to outdoor adventure and natural beauty. While it feels like a charming beach town retreat, you're just 10 minutes from modern conveniences including Meijer, Starbucks, an AMC movie theater, and more.
This home is more than a place to stay—it’s a place to create lasting memories in one of Michigan’s most beloved lakeshore communities.
*** Other Details to Note ***
This home offers a unique and flexible layout—perfect for couples, solo travelers, or smaller groups who may not need the entire space. The property can be separated into two private rentals, and if you're not interested in booking the full house, we’re happy to offer the “back” portion as a standalone retreat. Please message us for availability relating to front, back or the entire house.
This private section includes:
- A cozy, air-conditioned bedroom
- A full kitchen and bathroom
- Dining and living room areas
- A private back patio with grill and outdoor seating
- A bonfire pit for relaxing evenings under the stars
It’s the perfect setup for a romantic getaway or even a peaceful “vacation from your vacation” (though we doubt you’ll need one).
Whether you're looking for a quiet escape or a more intimate stay, this option gives you all the charm of Ludington with just the right amount of space.
Parking Note:
The east parking spot is reserved exclusively for guests staying in the back unit. The two west parking spots are designated for guests renting the front/main portion of the home. Please park accordingly to ensure a smooth and respectful experience for all guests.

About the host
Hosted by Katelyn McInnis-Bennett

Born and raised in Michigan (go green!), our family cottage has been the heart of our story for 41 years. It’s where we’ve celebrated weddings, welcomed new babies, and marked milestones across four generations. This home has gathered not just our family, but friends and guests from near and far—drawn by the quiet magic of Ludington and the warmth of this place.
There’s something timeless about a fresh Lake Michigan breeze with your morning coffee, a walkable town full of charm, and Caribbean-soft sand just steps away. From bonfire nights and late swims to House of Flavors ice cream runs and grill-outs under the stars, this cottage has been the backdrop for countless stories.
We’ve quietly hosted families and friends for years, and now we’re opening the doors a little wider—ready to share this place with others who value connection, simplicity, and the kind of memories that linger. We take pride in Ludington, in legacy, and in the joy of slowing down to appreciate what matters most.
Come experience our favorite place on earth. We’d love to welcome you.

Why they chose this property
Right across from the beach and steps from downtown, our cottage is perfectly placed for memory-making. Watch the Badger from the window, stroll to the lighthouse and marina, grab ice cream or dinner in town, and enjoy mini golf, shops, and miles of shoreline—all within reach. It’s the kind of spot where every moment feels easy, special, and worth savoring.
What makes this property unique
Unlike most rentals, this isn’t just a place to stay—it’s a place with soul. Four generations of stories live here, and you can feel it in every detail. Steps from the beach, downtown, and the marina, it’s perfectly placed—but what makes it special is the legacy, the warmth, and the way it invites you to slow down and savor. It’s not just a vacation—it’s a memory in the making.
