Why you will love staying here (from past reviews):
*Location and Atmosphere: Guests love its location right on Hamlin Lake and describe it as a charming and cozy little cabin with a retro, kitschy decor and a cozy vintage atmosphere.
*Amenities: Reviewers appreciate the amenities, noting that it is well-stocked for cooking and comfortable living. The shared facilities on "Vacation Lane" are highlighted, including the small sandy beach, playground, and fire pit.
*Lake Access and Views: A major draw is the lake view from the screened porch (often noted as the best on the block) and the availability of kayaks for use on Hamlin Lake. The sunsets from the dock are also frequently mentioned.
*Suitability: It's considered perfect for a small family or a couple's getaway, and guests note the convenience of being a short drive to downtown Ludington and the Ludington State Park.
