We totally enjoyed our stay at this property! It was peaceful and quiet but close to anywhere you needed to go. We enjoyed the fire pit on a chilly night and took long walks along the water front. We used the binder with recommendations for restaurants which was very helpful. Overall it was a great weekend trip!

Hamlin Lake Getaway

My husband is an avid fisherman and this cottage was perfect for us to get away and do some fishing and shopping in town. This cottage was perfect for our needs and we had a great time. Will definitely stay again.

This is truly a lake cottage how I remember as a kid. The location is a little bit of a drive from Ludington but nice if you want to be away from the downtown. The cottage was cute and quaint and perfect for our needs. The hosts were responsive to questions

Beautiful cottage convenient and comfortable

We have a family of four and we found our stay very comfortable. We had plenty space, made ourselves a nice dinner and really enjoyed our sleep and stay close to the Lake and many beaches and activities. Wish we could stay longer. Highly recommend this place.

Nicely decorated cozy cottage. Clean, quiet. Beautiful view/location. If youre looking for rustic lake cottage, this one is for you. Only drawback: very tiny window A/C unit, does not keep up or remove humidity, floors got sticky. Cooler weather would be perfect. Bonus that dog could come, too.
Nice deck with water view
Cottage very close to wooded hill/tall trees.
View from deck.
Flowers are nice touch.

Weekend getaway

A nice place for a small family to stay. Good location for Hamlin lake and lake Michigan. We had a little issue when we first got to the rental but the owner came out quickly and did everything he could to remedy the problem.
