About this property

Sweetwater Boathouse: Waterfront

Sweetwater Boathouse is a quaint home with a gorgeous view of and access to The South Bayou on Hamlin Lake. Perfect for a couple or a small family looking to sit lakeside and have a bon fire or fish from our dock for that night’s dinner. The main bedroom is on the first floor along with an efficiency kitchen and full bath. Second bedroom is ground level where you are able to walk out to the lake.
The Boathouse is all within walking distance to our two other Sweetwater Properties so if your party is big enough you could rent all three! Just like our other properties The Boathouse is appointed with an eclectic mix of furniture and one of a kind local artwork. It is 5 miles from Downtown Ludington and 5 miles from Ludington State Park. But once you get here and lay in the hammock or sit in one of the Adirondacks you may not want to go anywhere.
Come and enjoy the view, the lake and the overall experience of Sweetwater Boathouse on the South Bayou, Hamlin Lake.

Much needed relaxing weekend
The boathouse was the perfect setting for a relaxing weekend getaway. I absolutely loved the outdoor area and the quaintness of the house. It was close to all the activities we were looking to do and the property owners gave us some great suggestions on where to go for dinner and we found their suggestion about their favorite trail and it did not disappoint. They were prompt to answer any questions and I would definitely stay here again.

Fisherman's Perfect Rental
Staying in the south bayou keeps you sheltered from wind/waves. There's a seawall with cleats, a dock, and a smooth bottom place to beach the boat if desired. The tunnels under the road will fit most fishing boats. There's a bait shop a sand wedge away, and marine fuel just under the bridge. Can leave boat in the water all week. Kids can catch bluegill and small bass right from the seawall. Great fire pit area. Private on both sides of the back yard as well.

Adorable little waterfront cottage
My husband and I wanted to explore the Ludington area for our anniversary. This cottage was perfect for the two of us. Very well appointed with charming finishes. The outdoor area was lovely and included paddle boat, kayaks, hammocks, docks and fire pit which were all a bonus. Honestly no reason to leave the space. Amanda and Nathan were so sweet and accommodating, check out their artwork in town if you have a chance at the Red Door Gallery. We would 100% return with our families. Love Ludington!
