Beautiful and charming home in the best location! We loved swinging on the front porch in the mornings and evenings watching the boats in the marina. You can walk and bike to basically anything (beach, dining, shopping) from the house. It was a great vacation!

Very nice place, easy to find, good location

My first time booking with Vrbo, went pretty well. The property was very nice, clean and had a lot of extra considerations (games, cooking and dining supplies).Check in and out was easy and the property manager was communicative.

Nice quiet house with awesome outside deck to hangout

It was very clean on the inside of the house. My dad is handicapped so the stairs were a little difficult but managed. I thought there was a room and bathroom downstairs but, only bathroom is upstairs and rooms. Could've been my mistake reading about the accommodations. Other then that enjoyed the stay!!

Ludington stay

The house is very clean. The interior has been updated, so kitchen, bedrooms, bathroom are all nice and modern. The kitchen had a coffee maker for both Kcups and drip, which was nice. Cabinets were outfitted with all manner of cups, plates, etc.Nice big screen TV in the lower level. All three bedrooms and the bathroom are on the upper level.The home is literally a 2 min drive to the Badger ferry, which was a good thing for our trip.The owner was very attentive, and responded to requests immediately. She even offered up a bunch of recommendations for local attractions and restaurants. We ended up taking one of her recommendations and eating at the Sportsmen's Restaurant. The pizza was delish!We would recommend this home for a place to stay, especially if you intend to take the ferry.
