This cottage was comfortable and in a great spot for watching lake activities.We caught our biggest amount of perch and blue gills from the shore of the cottage.There’s nothing better than a fresh fish fry on Hamlin lake.Using the TV’s was the only quirky thing we encountered, besides the outside shower which my father-in-law and husband used all week. Really enjoyed the location. Evening walks, pontoon ride, games, fires, dune visit, fishing, shopping, eating and time with family amazing vacation ##### Jamie K.

Everything that we could want was there and we will likely return. Our only regret is that we chose a week early in June and the weather was horrendous.

Great deck, fire pit and boat hoists. The inside of the main house is much smaller than it looks online. It could also use a good cleaning. Lots of spider webs and dust in corners and floors just felt sticky. The bunkhouse was much newer and smelled fresher. The kitchen was packed with lots of owner things so there was not room to store our food and supplies. Kids had lots of fun in the boathouse as it was there own space to hang out in. Overall it was a fun family week with lots to do in the surrounding area. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Virginia Q. Jun 6, 2024 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Bunkalow The various options for sleeping and activities offered at the location was exceptional. There were games, canoe, fishing boat and outdoor games offered. The lawn and lakefront footage was large and gorgeous. The kitchen was well stocked with pans and all that was needed. There was a large gathering area with a variety of seating to allow for all to get together in and outside. The amount of options for seating outside on the deck were amazing. The firepit had lots of chairs to enjoy conversation while relaxing. The dock and lift were excellent and sturdy. What a gem to have at a lake! The were a great supply of towels and a washer and dryer to accommodate any needs. Having a shower in the restroom inside and one outside allowed for options depending on the needs of those staying. There were directions for the property on the fridge which were helpful. A book (binder) would be great to have specifics for using the TV , where to purchase firewood and any other suggestions for a wonderful stay would be a great addition. The 2 separate buildings for sleeping arrangements were a positive addition for when you have a combination of families and bedtime routines. Overall-a great facility for a combined family vacation! (We were the first of the season and the owner will be doing a deep clean for future visitors). ##### Virginia Q. Stayed 7 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### George S. Sep 20, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great Vacation Rental This property has one of the best outdoor setting properties out of 200 rentals in my life time. It has really high quality outdoor furniture, two umbrellas, and plenty of room for cornhole, bocce ball or freisbe. Great outdoor lighting as well so you can find it if you do night boat cruises. His place can accommodate 5 boats as well with an electric lift for pontoons. The best part was I asked if he had refrigerator in any houses other then the main house and he said no.... He put one in at my request great customer service. I asked if he had adequate lights on the deck and he added Edison lights. He is one of the best communicators almost instant after a text and he aims to please his clientele. One last thing never buy wood from a gas station for 5 dollars a bundle regarding bonfires. He offers a service that brings three times the wood at 1/3 the price and they put it right next to the bonfire with a cover over it in case of rain. Andrew is many cuts above as a host.

Great yard and location on upper Hamlin. We go with a family group and everyone had a great time. We had an issue with the boat lift and the bunkhouse water heater when we checked in after 4 PM but the owner was quick to respond and had people out to address the problems the following morning. Looking forward to a return trip if it fits into our schedule next summer. ##### Brent S.

The two locations were fantastic. This property was well stocked and every day was a joy! ##### Jodi G. Stayed 10 nights in Jun 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mike W.

We had all of the amenities we could ask for and the boat lift was the icing on the cake. Would definitely book again! ##### Mike W. Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jeremy S. Sep 15, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great location This property has a great location. There is plenty of space for a large family and the kids to bring some friends along. If you have a boat, the is a large seawall that you can tie off to and a boat lift (I didn’t try the boat lifts). We were able to easily come and go (on the boat). There was ample parking for large vehicles and a boat trailer. The cabin was located about a 10-15 min drive from most stores and restaurants. There is a party store that makes food and has bait only 5 mins away. (They have most everything you’ll need) The cabin was clean and spacious. The only negative is if you are bringing a large group, there is only (1) indoor shower (there is an outdoor shower attached to exterior of garage). There are also 2 half baths. Only 1 indoor shower was not an issue for me, but could be for a large group. I really enjoyed this home and will certainly rent it again in the future! ##### Jeremy S.

The location is great and trips to stores in Ludington didn't take very long. Easy route to the city as well. Many nice eateries downtown and a small restaurant on the lake as well. Lots of space overall and accommodated the 7 of us just fine. I sent a list of a few items for recommended repairs at the end of the season as we left and he appreciated the information. We are very likely to return. :) ##### Joe G.
