A very cozy and simple place, with a very low maintenance check in/out process. It was nice to be away from a crowded area, but also a close distance to a grocery store. We enjoyed our stay!
We were unable to make our trip due to a last minute family issue, but the host was wonderful to deal with and we definitely want to book it and enjoy the beautiful property and location.

Cottage in the woods
Such an adorable place, be prepared for no wifi although when booking you will receive a message to contact the owner for WiFi there is none. Amenities were nice, plenty of sleeping rooms. Lots to do in the area.
This was our second year staying in this beautiful cottage for the blessing. Very peaceful setting to get away from it all! We will be back next year!❤️
Very secluded and up to date cabin close to everything! Owners was very responsive and accommodating! Highly highly recommend. The stars at night was phenomenal to see! Not too many bug either which was surprising being surrounded by woods. Will look to book again in the future!
House was clean and comfortable. I would note that the bunk beds are twin beds, as we assumed they would be queen sized based on the description of how many the house would accommodate. I would say 3 adults or 2 adults with 2 children would work best. House was cozy and easy to find; set back from the highway for privacy and a beautiful property. Owners are so kind and easy to communicate with. We would stay again!
Really nice location and experience but would be great if it had internet
Everything was great and very relaxing. Close to Pere Marquette river and only a little over 40 minutes to Lake Michigan. Very cozy and nice wooded lot. Absolutely zero cell phone reception so would be nice if internet was provided so my partner could work remotely without having to go to Baldwin library. However, if this is not a problem and you want to go off grid, it is a very nice place. Also, would be good to have printed directions for checkout as we were unsure of what exactly was expected as get a stripping bed or starting laundry. Thanks for the relaxing vacation!
It was a perfect place for our family to unplug and unwind. Check in was a breeze and everything was as advertised.
We have AT&T cell phones and reception was limited. There is also no WiFi. We loved it!
We played games and just hung out as a family.

Comfortable Getaway Near the Lake
My husband and I enjoyed our stay here for a long weekend. The bed is comfortable and overall it was a positive experience. Apparently I did not read the listing closely enough and I did NOT realize there is no WiFi available here, so that is just something to keep in mind. The location is great, we were walking distance from the L lakes and we had a great time.
We've stayed here before and we were happy to return. Clean, comfortable, updated & modern yet keeps the cabin "feel". Well stocked. Nice large lot, privacy, room to enjoy the outdoors. Cellular data service in the area seemed minimal so remember to download whatever you may need. You are up North, so enjoy the great outdoors. Phone and text worked fine. Perfectly located to the canoe/kayak rental and grocery store. We like to kayak the Pere Marquette at least once a year and would definitely stay here again.
Nice and convenient for daily activities and coming back just to relax without any distractions from neighbors we would encounter staying in hotels. Hancock house was nice and clean with essentials for cooking/sleeping/showering with a very spacious yard. Thank you.
Property was very nice and clean. Only thing to be aware of is that there is one queen bed and then twin bunk beds. Listing gave the impression of two queen/double, but one is a fold out couch. Very nice place though!
My fiancė and I came north for the fall colors . We would stay here again! Very nice and clean, well equipped, queen bed was comfortable. Nice large yard and walking down the dead end road was a pretty walk. Conveniently located.
My family and I had a wonderful time at WLB. Communication was easy and the owner was quick to respond if we needed anything. The house was super spacious and so well appointed. Towels, seasonings, blankets, soap, bandaids, you name it. Renea the caretaker filled huge pitchers of water before we arrived which was nice considering we had a 3 and a half hour drive and were parched upon arrival. The beds were very comfy and the house had lots of windows to let in the sunlight. The lake was beautiful, quiet, and the water was nice and clean. The best thing of all may have been the 3 eagles which hung out with us the last 2 days. Right near the dock and in the tree! We would 100% visit again :)
Group of friends wanting a place close to Ludington but far from the hustle and bustle. Perfect for what we needed. Location is convenient right off the main road, but tucked away surrounded by trees, which is perfect for an outdoorsy group.
One of the best properties we’ve stayed at. It was hot when we got there, but we cranked up the loud AC window unit for 10 minutes, and used the ceiling fans to keep us cool for the rest of our stay.
The only thing keeping us from giving a 5+star review was the completely ROACHED and unusable outdoor gas grill. All 4 of the dinners I planned were going on the grill, but I never even fired it up. Needs to be replaced.
Need ice trays for the freezer,too.
