  • Welcome to the Little White Cottage!

    Relax and unwind in this charming, newly updated 1940s cottage near Hamlin Lake and the South Bayou. This cozy one-bedroom retreat blends vintage character with modern comforts, making it the perfect home base for your Ludington getaway.

    The cottage features a comfortable queen bedroom, a full bathroom, a fully stocked kitchen with a gas range, and a cozy living room with a sofa sleeper, Smart TV, Wi-Fi, books, and board games. Step outside to enjoy the covered patio, grill, and fire pit—perfect for morning coffee or evenings spent roasting marshmallows under the stars.

    You’ll be within walking distance of boat rentals, ice cream, and beautiful sunsets over Hamlin Lake. Downtown Ludington, the beach, and Ludington State Park are all just a 10-minute drive away.

    Planning a beach day? We’ve got you covered with beach chairs and towels. Staying in? Curl up with a blanket and a movie or gather around the table for a game night.

    The cottage comfortably accommodates 2 adults. You’ll have the entire cottage to yourself, along with two dedicated parking spaces located behind the cottage next to the white garage.

    Please note:

    * No smoking inside the cottage.
    * Due to the stairs and layout, this cottage may not be suitable for guests with mobility challenges.
    * Bringing a small fishing boat? The South Bayou boat launch is just 300 feet away.

    We look forward to welcoming you and hope you make wonderful memories at the Little White Cottage!

Nice little place

We had a nice stay at this cottage. Quiet location in a wooded area was peaceful, but it was just a short ride to the state park and to Stearns Beach/Downtown Ludington. Hosts were very communicative, kept us informed of issues and the place was clean and well appointed.

Great Little White Cottage

This property is well situated, close to Stearns beach, downtown, and the State park/Hamlin lake. It is very cozy and well equipped. The bed was comfortable and the sleeper was reported as comfortable by our 5 and 7 year old kids. We love visiting Ludington and this relaxing place added to the fun we had, making everything easy.

Sweet little spot

We had a great stay at the cottage! So clean, very cute, and perfect size for a couple. The house has everything you could possibly think of (or forget) for your stay. We especially appreciated the beach towels! Super close to the lake and a short drive to town. It felt secluded and the area was quiet. We can’t wait to come back!

Celebrating first weekend of retirement

This very sweet cottage was perfect for our weekend get away. It is cozy, well decorated, and comfortable. The only issue we had was the bed was pretty uncomfortable and my husband slept on the couch the 2nd night as a result.

Little White Cottage

This was a perfect size and location for us. Absolutely spotless (makes me want to clean MY house) with everything needed appliance-wise and for throwing together a quick dinner. Very quiet neighborhood which was important for us given we like to be largely disconnected, enjoying some peaceful reading and "being" time. The only issue we had was with the comfort of the mattress which we had issues with but that's subjective. Very definitely would rent again.

Up North Fall weekend

We had a great stay at The Little White Cottage. So nicely decorated and exceptionally clean! Our son loved the little snack options left for us! Great location between the town of Ludington and Ludington State Park. Quick drive to see the sunset, which we enjoyed each night! Also enjoyed the lovely fire pit! Host was quick to reply when we asked for assistance with heat. If we stayed longer than a weekend, we might have found the lack of kitchen counter space more tricky (we eat most our meals in) and the low water pressure in the shower more difficult if trying to get off sand/sunscreen. Would definitely stay again!

Birthday & Anniversary celebration - perfect place

My husband and I came up to Ludington, first time visiting Michigan. It was so fun! What made it even easier was finding The Little White Cottage. The owner was prompt to reply and the cottage is just as it shows in the pictures. It was the perfect place to get away. Close to Hamlin Lake and Lake Michigan. It definitely gets a 10/10 for cleanliness which is one of my top requirements. It is located perfectly for getting around to different activities. If you’re there you will pass STIX restaurant- give it a try too. Thank you for sharing your home with us. Next time in the area we will definitely reach out again!!

Mom Weekend Out

This cottage was everything we needed for a beautiful weekend of relaxation and to recharge our batteries. We celebrated a birthday and the homeowner even left a couple birthday cupcakes in the fridge for us as a check-in surprise. The attention to detail here was perfection, the cottage is so cozy and comfy. Everything was clean, gorgeous decor, and such a nice outdoor area for morning coffee and late night adult beverages. The proximity to the beach and downtown area was amazing, just about anything was within a 10 minute drive. We cannot wait to come back again! Thank you so much!! :)

Peaceful Little Spot Outside Ludington

We really enjoyed our stay here! The space is very cute with all sorts of great design touches. We had two little ones with us (2 and under) and there was enough space to fit both portable cribs in the bedroom. The kitchen and bathroom were small but had everything we needed. The host was very friendly and prompt in all communication. I would absolutely rent this place again, but a few things I wish I would have known first with kids: The only way to get into the unit is down a few metal grid stairs. Totally easy for adults but a little tricky for young kids/strollers. The front living room has no curtains or shades so there isn’t too much privacy anywhere but the bedroom/bathroom and in the summer the it gets light very early. The unit also does not have any A/C. We were able to stay pretty cool with the fans running but this is just something to keep in mind if you need to sleep cold. Ultimately we really enjoyed this spot! We think you would like it too!

The space is small but well laid out and very clean! The host was accommodating and responsive, the surroundings were quiet, and location was great! Within a few miles of downtown Ludington as well as Ludington Stare Park. Recommended for adults partners traveling for a few days, or maybe a very small group of friends. Thanks for everything!
