Fantastic property!
Review Submitted: July 15, 2009
Date of Stay: June 2009
We rented this property with my entire family (grandparents and 3 couples with a total of 4 kids), 12 people total. We all had plenty of common space to interact, play, eat, cook, etc. But we also had our own private (well furnished) spaces to get away to as well.
The adult foodies in our group enjoyed the gourmet kitchen with six burner stove, granite island, etc. The kids loved the game room, generous yard and giant sandbox by the house.
We made a daily trip down to the beach, but the large amount of stairs (300+) made this a bit of a challenge for the small kids (backpacks worked great!).
Nearby Ludington is a cute little town with shops, a small children's museum and a wonderful waterfront park (great playground for kids). We also enjoyed hiking and renting paddle boats and canoes in Ludington State Park (a 20 minute drive). The state park also has paved bike paths, but we (the adults) chose to ride our bikes out on the less traveled country roads. The nearby reservoir is an interesting thing to see (walking distance).
In the evenings we enjoyed family dinners at the giant dining room table, watching the sunset and campfires in the fire pit.
The main floor laundry facilities were a wonderful addition; we went home with mostly clean laundry!
During the reservation and pre-trip process, the owners responded quickly to our inquiries, were always professional and left many 'extras' at the house for us, including a 'Folder of Fun' with brochures and maps to lots of local attractions. The house does include dial-up DSL and satellite TV for when you must be connected.
I would recommend the property to others and we look forward to vacationing there again!
