Photos and Description of the Ludington vacation house rental 3 bedrooms, 1-1/2 Baths, Easily sleeps 9

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!' The house is available all winter too, with unspoiled and stunning winter beauty. Bring your snowmobile or skis and explore the country or setup shop ice fishing. See more information and a link to our dedicated website below!

Ludington is a popular destination because of its incredible beaches, quaint downtown, 1800's architecture and the incredible 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.

Further details for this vacation house rental in Ludington, Michigan

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.. If you would expect to have it at home, we have tried to provide it here too! Please let us know if we have missed anything during your stay! 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.

The Area: We are just 10 minutes from Ludington beaches, and about 15 minutes from Pentwater. Both towns offer great shopping, dining and charter fishing. Ludington has major shopping like WalMart, Meijer, Lowes and Walgreens. Michigan Adventure is about 45 minutes South, Silver lake dune rentals is about 25 Minutes South, and the Little River casino is about 40 Minutes North.

Very peaceful

Applecrisp Southeast Michigan
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!

Fall Getaway Weekend

Travelers from downstate Farmington Hills, Michigan
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!

Nice vacation home

L.A. SE Michigan
Review Submitted: July 20, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
We just returned from a 5 day stay at this location. It was absolutely lovely with many home touches that we enjoyed. The home is spacious and very comfortable. There is much to do at the cottage but also 10 minutes away in Luddington. Michigan Adventure is 30 min away. The fishing was great, use of the boats was very fun for the children and us. The view is great and it is a very quiet lake.
Shelley and Doug were very easy to reach for questions and had the house set up well for our visit. We hope to return again next vacation!
