Photos and Description of the Ludington vacation house rental
3 bedrooms, 1-1/2 Baths, Sleeps 9 (with roll away)

Our lakefront home provides a perfect place to leave your worries behind. Fish, float, swim, eat and enjoy sunsets in our tranquil country setting, then take a short ride to Ludington or Pentwater to enjoy the amenities of these quaint towns. Our home is much more than a place to sleep between excursions on your vacation. Many guests find that our home *is* their vacation and spend days just on the property. The only complaint is that the stay was 'just too short!'

Ludington is a popular destination because of its incredible beaches, quaint downtown, 1800's architecture and the amazing small town feel. You won't mind the long line for ice cream at the House of Flavors, because you feel like a part of something much bigger than yourself. You will marvel that so many people come out each day to see the Badger come and go, and as you walk the pier at sunset you will be planning your return trip and making a mental list of who you will bring along.

Standard Ammenities: We try to provide you with everything you need to have a worry-free vacation! Linens-- Included, Towels -- Included, Dish Soap, Laundry Soap, Trash bags... Included! The four watercraft are all included. We do not expect you to clean the toilets or windows-- we do that!

The kitchen is fully equipped with Kitchen Aid pots and pans and Cuisinart cutlery. We have cookie sheets, casserole dishes, measuring cups, a mixer, a blender, a toaster, etc..

The satellite has dual tuners and a DVR. You can watch different things upstairs and down or record one thing while watching another.

The Lake: Hopkins Lake is about 1 mile long and 1/4 mile wide-- 80 acres or so. There are 41 steps down to the water's edge then the beach gracefully falls into the lake with no drop-offs until it is well over your head. We provide life preservers for young and old. The lake bottom is sandy, with a layer of plant debris that is a bit weird between your toes (it is a lake, after all). The water is clear and you can see the bottom for over ten feet when the sun is shining. It can get a little murky if you thrash around enough. The lake has no public access, which makes it a very quiet lake. The fishing is great-- bring your own pole and tackle, and you will find bass, perch, bluegill, pike and bullnose.

Very peaceful

Review Submitted: October 4, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
Our family of six enjoyed a wonderful long weekend at the Canfield’s home this summer. It was truly a home away from home – and so much more restful! When we walked in, hungry and tired, we found snacks on the table and a note welcoming us. All weekend we appreciated the special little touches they left. We loved being able to boat around the lake in the different crafts provided. We spent most of our time at their house or on the lake, but we did spend an afternoon on the beach at Ludington State Park about 15 minutes away. The city beach looked really nice, too, but we wanted something a little more private. The State Park beach was beautiful – clean and quiet – a pleasant surprise since we live near the cloudy waters of Lake St. Clair in the southeast part of the state. It was so nice to be away from the hustle and bustle of the big city. People were very friendly, and it was fun to see little roadside stands out in front of people’s houses on the road to town. We even bought some maple syrup from a family that made it! Our stay was a special time for our family to relax together and we hope to visit the Canfields again.

Owner's Response: Thank you for your kind words! We have been overwhelmed by the courtesy that all of our guests have shown taking care of the property and their very kind comments in our guestbook and reviews on HomeAway. This was our first year renting-- Our expectations and even our hopes have been vastly exceeded by the treatment shown us from our guests. Since we are not able to use our property, we truly appreciate having guests who so enjoy it!

A Lovely Week, A Great Deal!

Review Submitted: August 31, 2011 Date of Stay: August 2011
Great time at the lake! The house was roomy, bright, clean and filled with everything you need, including dishes, charcoal briquettes as well as gas in the gas grill, condiments in the fridge, and laundry detergent for the washer! We loved the Fooze-ball combo table, the pool table, and the exercise equipment in the basement. We had fun in the row boat, and our dog loved chasing sticks in the water. A great view of the lake from all 3 decks. Great star-gazing too! It's really a great deal with all the little comforts and extras. We also had a great time exploring Ludington and Pentwater.

Perfect Get-away!

Review Submitted: July 19, 2010 Date of Stay: July 2010
My family and I had a wonderful week at the cabin. We were first-time renters and anxious that all would go well, so many horror stories out there. Happy to report that the descriptions and photos provided for Canfield Cabin are very accurate. Everything was clean and included many extras that really allowed us to sit back and enjoy our time there. For example there were lots of towels, condiments in the refrigerator, dish and laundry soaps, lots of dishes/pans, etc. Also the mud room was so handy to be able to keep all our golf equipment and beach stuff in, keeping the inside areas clean. Wish I had one at home!
We spent many days at nearby beaches, fishing on the lake with the boats provided, golfing, and especially relaxing on the deck with its wonderful view and nice breezes. Only one rainy day but we just headed downstairs for a couple of pool games and watched a DVD. Mostly took advantage of the kitchen but did love the PMSteamers restaurant in town.
My favorite part about the property was the layout. We have a 3 year old and also had a 4 year old and 9 month old visit us. The deck spaces are gated in various areas allowing the kids to run virtually free while providing some limitations. The downstairs area gave them lots of inside room to spread out their toys away from the grown-ups. And there is a half door that can be closed on the main floor to the stairs leading down that allowed us to let the baby crawl around freely/safely. A great setup for families with children!

Owner's Response: Yet again, our guests do a better job of describing our place than we do ourselves! We never considered the 'half door' to be a feature, since our kids are all grown-- but thanks for pointing it out. We hope to never have a "horror story" as we want nothing more than create a terrific and memorable experience for our guests. We did have a water leak last week that flooded the back corner of the basement and we thank our affected guests profusely for their patience while we straightened it out :-)

Wonderful Getaway!!

Review Submitted: June 13, 2010 Date of Stay: June 2010
Spectacular views of the lake! There's no better way to start the day than looking out the many windows overlooking the lake. We enjoyed our perfect vacation at the Canfield's; fishing, boating, kayaking, grilling, hanging out on the decks. My son caught a 25" pike and 18" large mouth bass. Even on the rainy days, we were completely entertained with the games in the house (pool, foosball, table tennis, watching tv.) I think the kids had the most fun just running up and down the stairs! Within minutes of Ludington State Park sand dunes and miles of beach along Lake Michigan.
We will definately be back and recommend to our friends and family.

Owner's Response: Wow, it looks like this guest describes our place better than we did ourselves! We love making our house comfortable and God does a great job of providing the wonderful setting. Our 2010 season is off to a great start and we look forward to a summer of new and familiar faces!

Fall Getaway Weekend

Review Submitted: November 10, 2009 Date of Stay: October 2009
The Canfield Cabin was exactly as the website described. They provided everything we could have possibly wanted or needed for our weekend. Their home is clean and beautiful. So many thoughtful special touches and flowers in every room. The lake view was breathtaking on our October weekend morninings. It was truly a home away from home and we found it very hard to leave. I will definitely recommend this home to our friends and family. Thank you, Doug and Shelly, for a perfect getaway weekend!

Owner's Response: We truly strive to provide a comfortable and memorable experience to all of our guests. These guests in particular left us an amazing photo of the lake in our guestbook that we love to look at. Thank you for the positive review and thank you for staying with us!
