Vista Villa INN

8/10 Good
"We've stayed at the Villa Vista once before, and liked the location- on the main street, Ludington- so it's a nice walk through several residential blocks to shops in the heart of town, and on to the shore of Lake Michigan. It's a simple, vintage "mom and pop" motel; clean, with all the basics- microwave, fridge, coffee maker (glad to have decaf offered). A good value, just after Labor Day. I'd prefer outdoor lawn furniture outside each door than an interior chair, wood-with-upholstered-cushion. Other than that, it was quiet, clean, safe and all we needed for an overnight in this charming lakeside town."

"The cabin was nice. Had a hot water issue which can happen to anybody. That was not a problem and Emily got back with us in timely manner. We really did not care for the location of the cabin because it would have been difficult for us to get the kayaks to the lake and back as we thought the cabin was closer and easier access to the lake. We unfortunately was not informed about the kayak rack at the dock until we had already left to go home."
