Access to the Lincoln river by way of a woodchip defined path through the woods!

    This was a lovely home to stay in. Our family loved the surroundings of the beautiful property. The house is set back off the road which is great. There’s a beautiful path to the lake and kayaks to enjoy! Everything was clean and bright and just right for us with kids. We’ll be back!

    We enjoyed this property and our first time in Luddington. The owners were so wonderful about communicating with us. Check in and out was so easy. The property was nicely cleaned and stalked with essentials. It is so quiet and peaceful, but also near all of the things. The beautiful path back to the river was such a wonderful walk. Our family found there was too much to do and not enough time to do all the things, so we are hoping to come back again soon. We would recommend this property to anyone!

    This property was great to recharge and connect with nature. The property was amazing with the trail that leads you to the dock. We were able to catch multiple fish on the lake and use the canoes and kayaks. The house was clean and perfect for just what we needed. Would highly recommend.

    This is my go to place every single October! I can’t say enough amazing things about it. The property itself is so perfect, the trail to the river is something I do everyday when I am there. I love the patio and fire-pit so much. Rainy days are actually so relaxing and calming to just watch a movie or read. Always looking forward to my next year!

    The weather had finally cooled off for a perfect long weekend to enjoy Ludington. Fall in Michigan continues to offer amazing hikes and fishing. The cottage was perfect for our family. The size of the yard was most important for our 3 boys! Everynight around the firepit and running around! The kitchen and house was well equipped making cooking and grilling easy. The canoe was perfect for our sons to go fishing in Lincoln Lake.

    We enjoyed our stay in this cozy little cottage in the woods. It was lovely walking the path through the woods down to the river and then being able to kayak to Lincoln Lake. The cottage is just a few minutes away from town and the state park. Check in and out were simple and Bernadine was quick to answer any questions.

    This cabin was wonderful! It was peaceful and nice and quiet set back in the woods. There was so much room for the kids to run free and the fire pit was a hit! The only thing that could make it even more perfect is maybe adding a little window air conditioning unit. Otherwise 100/10! We will definitely be back again!

    This place was absolutely perfect! So clean, private, and full of adventures! The only complaint I would have was finding the property. It is not marked by the road, and when arriving later in the evening it was difficult to find. Google maps took us to the driveway before this one. Other than that simple inconvenience, we couldn’t be more pleased with our stay! The host was extremely kind and responsive. We hope to visit again soon

    Our 2025 trip is our 7th time staying here. It has become tradition. This is a wonderful place for families because it offers privacy, parameters and yet freedom for kids (including kids with unique needs) while being close to lots of wonderful things. Our family has been here across several seasons, and all offer unique experiences. The trail to the river offers peace and perspective. And each time we go there are (little and big) upgrades. Great communication from Bernadine. We make it an annual event.

    This is my fifth year staying at the cottage and it’s definitely my favorite place ever to vacation. It’s the perfect location, charming and has everything you need. The walk to the river is so pretty, watching the deer everyday come into the yard is always something I love. The weather was amazing, it was great being outside all afternoon. Already looking forward to next year.
