The room was clean, staff was very nice, the pool and hot tub were also very clean. Really enjoyed how close to the Lake and downtown area, like 5 min drive at best, along with several places to eat nearby . Great place to have a quiet getaway.

We loved the charming setting and how most of the rooms were tucked away from the road. The grounds were clean, the grass was well maintained, and the pool/hot tub were very clean and inviting. Would stay again if in the area!

The pool was clean. The Gazabo is a nice, quiet place to relax. Very safe and comfortable place to relax yet still close enough to the city beach to enjoy the sunshine and sand too.

The property is well maintained and has adequate electrical outlets for recharging a variety of devices. The simple continental breakfast was perfectly adequate and the front desk assistant was great to recommend "House of Flavors" for dinner. Looks like a well-established and renown ice cream shop -- which it is -- but serves great food at reasonable prices.

Well appointed room. Was quite impressed with the quality of the property. I could park my car directly outside my room. Quiet location, yet close to everything. Will definitely be my go to spot when visiting Ludington.
