The property was convenient to the car ferry dock. The young lady who checked us in did not have a lot of knowledge of the surrounding area when we asked questions about where to go to find things (like local gas stations or a car wash).

Stayed at the property for one night to go fishing in Ludington area early the next morning. Prices were very reasonable online, there were no hidden fees when booking through Travelocity. Upon my arrival, i arrived late, no worries, I called ahead of time and the owner thanked me and said someone will be available when I arrived. Easy check in process, the attendant was very friendly. Upon entering the room, I was very impressed. Very clean, good smelling room ( not over powered by chemicals) quiet surrounding. I usually don't sleep well my first night away from home, but here, I fell asleep within minutes. I left the key card on the TV stand because I left very early and was overall very impressed with the accommodations. Would definitely stay here again my next time in Ludington.

Spacious, quiet, clean, comfortable beds. There was plenty of hot water for the whirlpool tub. The “fireplace“ produced plenty of heat. I would go here again!
