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.

The perfect place to destress!
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!

A lovely respite
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!

Our escape
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 :)

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

Great Hamlin Lake Property!!!
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!

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!
