Ludington Lakeside Oasis

About

Enjoy stunning sunsets from two decks or the four-season sunroom.  After a day of recreation, gather around the fire pit at night, or curl up in front of the gas fireplace and large, smart TV in our newly remodeled living room. Don't miss out on this spectacular and fully- supplied lake home in a park-like setting.

Our home sleeps 6. The master bedroom has a new king bed and bedrooms two and three have queen beds.   There is a sofa bed with an air mattress in the sunroom.   All bedrooms are upstairs and include high quality linens, plenty of pillows, and comfortable mattresses.  There is a new remodeled bathroom with shower upstairs and another bathroom with shower and washer/dryer downstairs. The kitchen is well-stocked with appliances, utensils, supplies, and cooking essentials. The dining room includes a breakfast bar and a 6-person table.

 OUTDOOR SPACE

There is a gas grill and table that seats 8 on one deck which is adjacent to the dining room and kitchen. The second deck in front of the sunroom is perfect for relaxing throughout the day but is a spectacular place to enjoy the sunset over the lake and the beautiful dunes and woods of Ludington State Park. Walk down our private stairs to enjoy the peace and quiet of Long Skinny Park along Hamlin Lake.

Hamlin Dam is an excellent spot for catching salmon in the fall.  Our driveway is big enough to accommodate two cars and a boat.  There are both private and public boat launch minutes from our home. 

SUMMER

In the summer, with miles of sandy beaches, picturesque sunsets, outdoor adventures, excellent fishing, and boating opportunities, the whole family will have plenty to do.  The area has over 28 miles of sandy shoreline. Looking for something a bit more adventurous? Set sail on Lake Michigan or attend one of the local events and festivals.

Hamlin Lake offers terrific summer recreation, including swimming, boating, tubing, and fishing. You will find beautiful sand dunes and sandy bottom swimming. Climb the dunes for a magnificent view of Hamlin Lake and Lake Michigan. Hamlin Lake touches the Manistee National Forest on the north.

The public beach and free parking at Ludington's Stearns Park has been the recipient of numerous awards and recently USA Today named it as one of the Top 51 Great American Beaches, representing the #1 beach in Michigan. Stearns Park has well-maintained restroom facilities, groomed sands, and beautiful views and downtown Ludington is only a few minutes walk. The Lake Michigan beaches at Ludington State Park are a 5-minute drive from our house.

WINTER

Imagine yourself sitting by the fireplace while watching snowfall after a day of outdoor activities. You will find cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, and fat-tire biking along snow-covered trails. Ludington hosts the biggest New Year's Eve Ball Drop in West Michigan and a winter beer festival featuring some of the state's best beers.
