Beautiful property and amazing sunset views! The beds were comfortable and Meg was a wonderful attentive host! It was also a great location for the Ludington area. I would definitely recommend this property!
My family had an awesome time at Hamlin Lake in this beautiful home. My 2 daughters, son spouses and grandkids just loved the view and excellent accomodations. I cant say enough about this beautiful property and the ease of the rental process. Would recommend to anyone.
Beautiful home and sunsets. Great location for beaches and other outdoor activities. Spent most of weekend in windowed on three side sunroom as it was a wonderful room to gather together with my family.
We had a relaxing great time at this property!! Comfortable beds, the hosts thought of all things that might need when away from home. My only suggestion would be a hammock for the amazing view on the porch!!! We enjoyed and would like to return to the area and use the same home again ! This home helped in making our time away very enjoyable.
This stay was just as good, if not better, than our first visit in 2022. The renovated 2nd floor bathroom is beautiful, the property is clean and well-maintained and has all of the extra amenities you could ask for (well-stocked kitchen, toiletries, etc.) Our kids (ages 17, 15, 12 and 10) love it too and the view of Hamlin Lake can't be beat. Thanks for an awesome week!
My family and I had the most relaxing week here. The view is stunning! Morning coffee on the deck while watching the boats go by and the gorgeous sunsets in the evening are truly peace inducing! The home was clean, spacious and accommodating. Communication with Meg was great. Any questions were quickly answered. Ludington is a fun beach town with much to offer, but we found ourselves wanting get back to the house for games, family dinners and that priceless view!
Thanks for making our stay a wonderful one, Meg!
This was our second time to rent this beautiful home on Lake Hamlin that we fell in love with. It is in a quiet neighborhood with great views to the west for spectacular sunsets. Since our first visit the owners updated the upstairs bathroom which added an extra shower. We prepared our own meals and the kitchen was equipped with everything we needed. The owners checked in to make sure we had everything we needed. It is a short drive to Lake Michigan and Ludington State Park where we hiked the trails and walked the endless sandy beach.
We will have great memories of our stay and hope to return again.
We had a fabulous stay, enjoying the proximity to the state park dunes and trails. The big glassed/screened porch overlooking the lake was delightful. And sunsets, amazing every night!
The property is beautiful and our family had a wonderful time. Meg was very helpful with suggestions of what to do in the area and offers to help if there was anything we needed. Views from the deck are priceless. Thanks so much for the perfect vacation!
This Lake House is a hidden gem! The views are stunning! This is a quiet spot, with lots of charm. Our family was very comfortable here and we hated to leave. Will defiantly be returning.
The cottage has amazing views of Hamlin Lake and everything we needed to make great long weekend! Lots of space, but still feels cozy. Especially loved all of the windows and eating space in the front porch, where we could appreciate the view even when it was a bit cooler outside! The decks are great too. Close to town, but far enough away to be peaceful and relaxing. We would definitely stay here again!
The location could not be better! Gorgeous views of lake Hamlin and excellent proximity to all the great things Ludington has to offer! House was clean and comfortable. We greatly enjoyed the sunroom, especially on rainy days. Meg was very accommodating and responsive to all questions.
Home was great with a wonderful view of Lake Hamlin. Sitting up high on the cliff we were able to enjoy the beautiful sunsets and activity on the lake without all the excess noise. The property was quiet, which was something we were looking for in a vacation spot. The house was well stocked, very clean and owner supplied good instructions on use of everything in the home.
Really enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend it!
Absolutely beautiful home with the best view. Spent most the time on the deck, overlooking the water. Just a short walk to the dock where we rented a boat for the day. The owners were great to work with and answered every question . I highly recommend this place. I hope to be back soon!
We were so happy when we found Meg's house. The pictures don't do it justice. We had such a relaxing time. The home is so cozy, furnishing we're so comfy and so many places to sit with beautiful views of Hamlin Lake. We can't say enough about Meg, since the moment we rented the property she was communicating. We hope we can stay again soon..thinking about some spectacular ice fishing this winter :)
We have stayed at this charming home before, and came back this time with out of state family members. We all enjoyed the stunning views and visiting with one another on the sun porch. Downtown Ludington is a short drive away, and we also took a few day trips to Pentwater, Manistee and Frankfort.
This home is very comfortable and well stocked with towels, toiletries and everything you need for a care-free stay.
We highly recommend this beautiful home if you are planning a visit to the area!

This beautiful secluded lake house,with spectacular views, was just what we needed to escape our normal day to day actives. The kitchen is well equipped with quality cookware, utensils, and appliances. The bedding & linens are of high quality & quantity. Both decks are great to enjoy a morning cup of coffee. The front porch provided for a wonderful breeze and a great place to enjoy evening family games while watching the sun set. While our family enjoyed this home in July, we feel it would be just as cozy in the winter with the new fireplace. We would love to visit again as Meg & Frank are wonderful hosts and very accommodating.
Our hostess thought of every little thing that made our stay comfortable and relaxing
The beds were comfortable. We enjoyed the chocolates on the coffee table and the bowl of snacks when we entered. Beach chairs were provided so we didn’t have to pack them. There were throws on all the furniture to wrap up in on chilly nights. The sunsets were amazing
There was a birch craft presented by the ladies next door which we loved
Nice restaurants and beaches nearby
The cottage was beautifully decorated but not fussy. Everything was perfect
Our group of 5 has been gathering for 12 years and have stayed in beautiful places up and down Lake Michigan but this is by far our favorite. Can’t wait to return
Meg was great to work with from start to finish. She repsonded promptly upon the initial booking, and was very responsive during our arrival and check out.
The three bedroom house over looks Hamlin Lake with the a great 180 view from the sun room. We enjoyed several meals in the sun room and played lots of euchre ... it was such a great spot to hang out! The beds were comfortable, with clean linens and the house overall was very clean. There is a nice telivsion in the living room with comfortable seating. The kitchen was well equiped and the house has a two car attached garage.
We booked five nights and wish we could stayed longer!
What a lovely time we had at this home. Perfect location near the lake and yet we didn't want to leave the property. While it was just adults escaping reality for a fee days, it would be perfect for families as well. Beautiful views and those beds and linens, quite dreamy.
