Lucy's Loft

We had a very positive experience staying at Lucy's Loft. The owner Joyce was very welcoming. She even baked us some cookies when we arrived. The property was very clean and inviting. Plenty of space for a family. The property was conveniently located to both Hamlin Lake, Ludington and Lake Michigan. We also enjoyed having a firepit to use if we wanted to. All in all, it was very nice to stay. We would definitely like to stay here again the next time we around the Ludingtopn area.

Spring Fishing Trip

This has been the perfect spot for our first fishing trip of the year. The house is very clean and has everything we need for a comfortable stay. Having a dock to park the boat is extremely convenient as well. I would highly recommend Lucy's Loft to anyone looking to explore the Ludington/Hamlin Lake area.

Perfect place for a weekend getaway!

This is our 2nd time staying at Lucy’s Loft and we love it. It’s clean, comfortable, and Joyce is so easy & nice to work with. The location is perfect for access to downtown Ludington, shopping, parks, and the beach. We tried some new restaurants this time that we enjoyed but it’s also nice to have a place to make some of our own food if we like. We’ll definitely be back to Lucy’s Loft!

Great little getaway

It was a couples getaway and we had a wonderful time. Great to spend time in nearby Ludington and also just hangout at the property. Joyce was a great communicator from the start and so friendly on property. The fire pit is technically at her backyard but you would have never even known she was home. Hamlin lake is beautiful and we know we could have stayed several more days. We are keeping this on our list for a return visit!

Nice stay on Middle Bayou

Our cottage at Hamlin Lake was clean and welcoming. Joyce our hostess had fresh cookies waiting on the table for us. She also met us right away and gave us a tour of the property and parking. We had a dock to park the boats and kayak from. It was a relaxing week. Very close to the state park and lots of beaches. Would recommend Lucy's Loft.
