Located on the shore of Lake Michigan, Windswept is a large summer vacation rental home with a private beachfront.

Not 'near' or 'across from' or 'access to' the beach. This is the real thing, YOUR private beach ready for swimming, beachcombing or night bonfires.

There is no cliff - just spill out the front door and you're at the beach.

Spend time hiking out onto the south breakwall to watch the Lake Michigan carferry S.S. Badger approach at sunset. Chances are a southwest breeze will stir up the surf, providing the best night's sleep you've had in a long time.

Windswept is family-owned with four bedrooms and one-and-a-half baths. It is a summer cottage in Ludington, Michigan on a peninsula between Lake Michigan and Pere Marquette Lake.

Enjoy the people, activities and relaxed pace of Ludington, Pentwater and Manistee. Take advantage of the golf, fishing, antiquing, swimming, sailing, horseback riding, beachcombing, fairs and all the best Western Michigan has to offer.

    We had a great week. Weather was great. Great view of the water from the deck to watch the sunsets.

    Excellent location on Lake Michigan with view of the beach off back deck and your own beach area. Four bedrooms and 2 baths accommodates a good sized family and has everything you truly need. Owner was easy to communicate with and responsive.

    Having spent over 40 summers at family cottages now gone, this was the next best thing. The house isn't fancy; it is as a Michigan summer cottage should be. It was clean, spacious and the views and location are terrific. The picture on the site of the beach is a little outdated, as the beach is much smaller (clear sand versus dune grass, that is), but it still was lovely. No complaints. We hope to return year after year.

    It was nice to stay at a beach front cottage where you could tell the owners took great pride in. It was clean and well kept and it had a real beachy feel. The water was high this year so we didn't have much of a beach but that is Mother Nature's fault. Overall, everyone had a great time and we will definately think about doing it again next year. Thanks for a wonderful time!

    My eldest son suggested we spend more time together...my two sons, their families and me...9 of us in all, from SE Michigan, Pittsburgh, PA, and S Arizona. Windswept is perfect, PERFECT!!! ON THE BEACH of Lake Michigan. Beautiful sunsets, Fires in the firepit on the beach each evening ... great for S'mores and mountain pies, and warmth to watch the sunsets, games provided, even a piano. We flew kites, enjoyed walking along the shore to a public beach, going into the lovely town of Ludington, and looked forward to BADGER two times a day, adults and children alike watched for this ferry leaving for Wisconsin, and returning. Did we have rainy days...yes, and I was amazed that we all remained happy, not allowing a few drops of rain hinder our relaxation and excitement and joy. We enjoyed eating in and out on the deck overlooking the dunes, the lake, the lighthouse, and again the sunsets. There are also several beach chairs provided. We wanted for nothing the concenus from all was to return again...and we will.
