Nice Fit

Quaint and comfortable for our needs. Brian was an excellent host and communicator. The deck was a little scary for us, but it held up just fine.

Great location

We loved the town and the apartment. We have lived in an attic apartment before so knew what to expect with the sloping ceilings. The only real challenge was for a man peeing standing up. The stairs look like they were recently rebuilt so they were fine. We enjoyed having coffee on the small deck. The location can’t be beat. Easy walk to beach and food.

Love Ludington's Dock House

Perfect location for our weeks stay: walking distance to the beach, parks, downtown shopping, restaurants, and taverns. Also, a short ride to the State park. Our first time to Ludington, and we loved it. Friendly folks, beautiful beaches, amazing sunsets, good food and drink, and very dog freindly. Our host Brian, was most accommodating. Checking in with us before, during and after our stay to make sure all our needs were met. The house was fully stocked with everything we needed and more. The front porch was the daily gathering point for the start and end of each day. Would highly recommend this charming vacation home.

Nice location

The property on the 2nd level has many outdoor steps to reach it. Although, it looked as if it had been mainly replaced, the railings were not sanded and both my husband and I had splinters in our hands from it. The property manager was responsive and when we complained about something, he fixed the problem and refunded one night stay.

Quirky and quiet

This apartment had a fabulous location - close to the marina, the beach, and the downtown area with restaurants and shops, however, the street itself was quiet. The steps to the unit were quite narrow and the ceiling height in the apartment was low in places which might be awkward for some. The kitchen was well stocked (although we couldn't find a corkscrew!) and the owner was helpful and responded quickly to questions. The Dock House made for a quiet and convenient place to stay in Ludington.

Someone needs a contractor

Great location for sure but to get what is asked per night someone needs to fix all the flooring where carpet exists and really upgrade the exterior steps/deck. It's obvious that an unskilled carpenter worked on it without using a tape measure. The screws weren't flush with the wood. The screen door needs replacement, the siding needs reapair and the condition of the grounds was messy. It's obvious that the owner is squeezing this lemon dry!

This was not what was expected unfortunately especially for the cost. Communication came with directions for lower unit to get in, though we had rented upper, code didn't work for either with the directions provided and couldn't get hold of the host. Finally got into the lower, started to unpack then was told to move to the upper. Moved everything again. The upper did say slanted ceiling - WOW no one over 5 5 should stay there. It was awful for 6ft spouse, the floors were so uneven and in bedroom the worst. Bed was so bad we came home a day early. Best thing was the location, we got in many walks in by the water. The lower unit looked much nicer, not sure what the price difference was. Would not recommend the upper unit. If you aren't going to be available to answer calls as a host then have backup number for the person that is available to answer if there are issues is our recommendation.

Great location, older property

Really like the location of the property. didn't expect that it was a unit built into an attic with very steep stairs. The air conditioner in the family room was great, bedroom was ok, but kitchen was warm with no air conditioner in the middle.

Perfect Location!!

Unique property that my five year- old granddaughter stated was "cute & perfect" for us! The bed & bedding was really comfortable, which for me, is most important to sleep well after all of the daily activities. The place was really clean with plenty of bath towels and well stocked kitchen. The carpeting could use some cleaning and the stairway/deck outside doesn't seem safe, especially for small kids, with wobbly railings and some springy deck boards. It might also be helpful to note that parking for the upper unit is accessed from the alley behind the unit. But you cannot beat this location! We walked almost everywhere and the area is absolutely beautiful and surprising quiet. There is so much to do and see that we wished we could have stayed longer! Thank you so much!

The Dock House was exactly as described. Does have slanted ceiling but did not impede the function of the house. The stairwell is slightly steep, width of step slim.

Great location and small property

Place was clean and very well appointed. There are 2 flights of stair to climb to get to the property, and they are a little steep and small in some cases however if you go slow shouldn't be a problem for most.

Can’t beat this location!!

Great location central to everything. Very clean. The stairs up to the second level were a little scary. Very steep and very high. You definitely have to be in shape and mobile to get all your luggage up them. Also this is NOT a property for tall or large people. We hit our heads many times on ceilings. This is in the description but wow, it was super sloped ceilings. Would not rent again but not a bad place at all!!
