About this property

Parkview Cottage #9 Sleeps 2- Only 1/2 block to the Beach

Sleeps only 2. 1/2 block from Lake Michigan beach, lighthouse, 4th of July fireworks, skate-park, and pier.

Parkview is a non-smoking campus. Smoking is not allowed on the premises.
Starting in 2026 we no longer allow children. Pets are also not allowed and only adults over the age of 25. If you are a larger person, please do not rent this cottage, as it may be to small for you!

We have also eliminated stays during the Gus Macker basketball tournament, usually during the father's day weekend.

House Rule: No EV Charging or Storage Allowed (Indoors or Using Indoor Outlets)

Please write me a note describing your party if you decide or are thinking of renting from me. This is my mid size cottage with a kitchenette. One burner cook-top, smaller fridge, kitchen sink with plates, toaster, microwave and 5 cup coffee maker.

This cottage sleeps 2 in 1 full bed. If you have stayed here before we have eliminated the trundle bed, so it no longer sleeps more than two. I like to make sure guests are not surprised about the size of the cottage, shower and other accommodations. Clean and comfortable with decks, gas grills. Linens, towels, cable and Wi-Fi provided. One half block from Lake Michigan beach, lighthouse, 4th of July fireworks, Skate park, and pier. Pickle ball courts just one block away.

Cozy Cottage, AWESOME location!

This is a gem of a cozy get away cottage in Ludington! Literally just steps from the beach, and was a perfect location for family members who were needing a location to rest between the fun outdoor events planned in Ludington each day of our stay. I hope to return in the future and will recommend this location to friends!

Nice cozy cabin a block from Stearns Park.Quite areaSet up like an efficiency as 1 room and a bathroom. For my husband and I it was the right size as we utilized both beds. It would have been a tight fit on one bed which is probably full size.He supplied toiletries in the bathroom . Plates,coffee cups and utensils to enjoy breakfast.One more chair and table would be nice so we could enjoy coffee outside our door . Borrowed from the neighbors .Ester the flower lady next store brought me a vase full

Lovely cottage close enough to walk to the beach

We stayed in the efficiency unit of this set of cottages. They were built in the 1930s and have a lot of charm. There is a large courtyard with picnic tables and grills for sharing larger meals, but also we walked to most of the local restaurants.

Girls Weekend

AMAZING location near beautiful Stearns Beach and the State Park. Quaint & clean cottage with all the necessities and amnenities that suited our needs perfectly. We even enjoyed an afternoon on the main deck area grilling out. Best of all was communication with Jeff. He was very quick with responses to our questions regarding parking and SUPER helpful with an accidental lock-out. Lovely gentleman even stopped by to check on us!! We cant wait to come back next summer with additional family members. Thank you!

Perfect little cottage

Cute and clean, the cottage was just as advertised. It was just right for my sister and I to spend time together and at the beach. We easily walked to the beach from the cottage as it was just 1/2 block away. Jeff is a terrific host. Plan to rent there again in the future.

Great location

First of all the property is 1/2 block or across the street from the beach. The cottage is small, but very clean and has everything you need. Bring your bikes to explore the amazing neighborhood and downtown, otherwise you can walk or drive to where you need to go. This is the absolute best place to vacation!

CUTE BUNGALOW AND GREAT SPOT!

This little bungalow is nestled in with about a dozen tiny houses/duplexes, some a little large and some very small. One block walk to the Stearns Park Beach which is right ON Lake Michigan in downtown Ludington. Clean and neat, although very 'rustic' and not fancy at all, but with all the amenities. Appreciated having dish soap, small bar soaps, plenty of towels.

Small cottage life

This cottage has a very comfortable double bed and a pull out daybed. A small table with two chairs to eat at. A small kitchen with a induction hot plate for cooking and a microwave. It does have a fireplace although we did not try it as it was in the summer. The shower is small for me but is very adequate. We enjoyed our stay. The beach is literally one block away and is beautiful. We may stay again.
