Great lower unit of a charming two unit home next to the Ludington Municipal Marina and walking distance to beach, harbor, downtown and boat launch. Ideal for the fisherman in the group. This is a 2/2 with a living room and dining room that seats 6. There is a second floor separate apartment listed as The Dock House-Upper (listing 4813469). This cottage has a large deck in the back and a large front porch to sit out and watch the Badger come to port. The cottage is fully furnished with a washer and dryer, freezer in the basement, cable TV, WIFI and a full kitchen with everything you need for cooking.

So much to do and see just blocks away. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach nearby ### Ski - Close to skiing ### Internet - Available in the house: WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Freezer - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Spices - Stovetop - Toaster ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided - Sofa bed ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shower - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Living room ### Entertainment - DVD player - TV with cable channels ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Dock - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washer/dryer ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming dogs only - One pet total (up to 50 lbs per pet) ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In the city center - Near a hospital - Near the marina - On a lake - On the waterfront ### Things to do - Birdwatching nearby - Casino nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Jet skiing nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Sailing nearby - Sledding nearby - Swimming nearby - Water skiing nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - Fire extinguisher ### General - Garden - Unit size: 1,068 square feet ## Similar properties ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/92000000/91170000/91169900/91169816/e96cff63.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Upscale luxury home just a few blocks from beach Ludington - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 10 Exceptional 36 reviews CA $210 CA $520 total includes taxes & fees Nov 10 - Nov 11 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-10&endDate=2025-11-11&selected=91169816&PinnedHotelID=91169816&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Smart TV](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/34000000/33570000/33565900/33565850/c72b0d03.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### The Dock House - Upper unit next to the City Marina Ludington - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 9.2 Wonderful 41 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-08&endDate=2025-11-09&selected=33565850&PinnedHotelID=33565850&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![2 bedrooms, free WiFi, bed sheets, wheelchair access](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/95000000/94690000/94686600/94686583/d66401ee.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Mitten Flats #4 - 1 Block to the beach!
