Wedding guest stay
We were in town for a wedding and absolutely loved our stay at this property. It was the little things that really attributed to an above and beyond stay. The coffee and accessories were my favorite touch. If we are ever in the area again we will be rebooking our stay here! Lovely property. Thank you!

Cozy Ludington stay
This was a cozy little house on the north end of town. Although we stayed here over New Years Eve the house is conveniently just a few blocks from Lake Michigan and less than 10 minutes from the state park. Downtown is close by, about a three minute drive or 15 minute walk if you’re up to it. The house itself is clean, up to date, and well maintained. The hosts are very responsive as well. It was a great stay.

Family vacation
We stayed here with our family, kids ages 2-8. It was just the right place to come home to after being gone all day. We liked being able to have a yard, our boys played baseball and bean bag toss lots! It was close by to everything, so we could run home quick if we had to grab anything we forgot. The front porch is lovely for our morning coffees!

Conveniently located and very clean and comfy
The cottage was just as described in the listing and in photos. I echo other reviewers in that the cottage was very clean! It is very well maintained. The beds are comfortable. There is a nice sitting area and fire pit in the backyard that we enjoyed. It's a nice quiet neighborhood and a short drive to plenty of activities - the downtown area of Ludington, the beach, the state park, etc. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend this cottage!

Lovely Cottage
It was very quaint with a modern touch, and clean. There was a welcome basket of treats and a note. Had everything you would need as a guest. Our family has been camping at the State Park for over 45 years but we had to make some changes and were happy with our choice.

wonderful little cottage in a beach town
This cottage has everything you need for a stay in the wonderful beach town of Ludington! Check-in was a breeze. My son and husband walked to the beach but I would say it’s more drivable than walkable for everyone especially littles! It was stocked with plenty of supplies and we loved to have the games for game night. We will recommend this for others or come back in the future.

Nice but small
We were very comfortable with the house- it was clean, close to town and beach and well stocked. I have to say that I think it's best for 2 to 3 people and not for anyone tall (61/2 foot ceilings. There is little storage space and we used the smaller bedroom for our clothes and toiletries.

Exactly as advertised!!
Cozy Town Beach Cottage was perfect for our short getaway. It was comfy, CLEAN, cozy, and quiet. Its convenience to the beachfront, walking trails and local restaurants was ideal for us. The host was wonderful! There was a problem with the cable (local outage - not the host’s fault) and she responded immediately and stayed in communication until it was resolved. VERY HELPFUL!! We had a great time in Ludington!!

Perfect cottage for a week stay in Ludington. Far enough away from the main strip to be quiet at night, but close enough that getting to the beach, restaurants and shopping was easy.

SWEET LUDINGTON COTTAGE
My sister and I came to Ludington to attend our brother's wedding at Little Sable Point Lighthouse. The weather was gorgeous for the entire weekend. The cottage was lovely and plenty of yard to have outdoor activities. We strolled around the town of Ludington, just a few minutes away from the cottage. Lovely shops and restaurants to choose from. My husband and I are hoping to take a trip up this way in the late summer, early fall. I would definitely stay here again, if available. Sheila and Trais Dolan were wonderful hosts and Sheila was available to us throughout our stay.
