Sweetwater Cottage on channel of Lower Hamlin Lake

This is our third year staying here. It never disappoints!Already looking forward to next year!

We really loved the home and the property. Quiet little area on the canal, which we were able to use our Kayak and pontoon boat. Campfire at night, which was delightful.

We had a great stay as usual. We rented a couple of times and always enjoy our stay. This year we discovered the small lake within walking distance of the cottage. It had warmer water and a nice sandy beach.

Very nice place.

Check in process is very easy. The house has everything you need. We love being so close to the state park.

We love staying at this location every year

Very clean and peaceful location. We had a great stay! Adding a Keurig would be a nice add

Property was very clean and quaint. The neighborhood is extremely quiet (almost too quiet). We brought our pontoon and we're able to launch it nearby and dock it at the house which was awesome. Home was extremely well equipped and we brought so much stuff we didn't need too. Our only complaints are that the left patio door going to the sunroom is almost impossible to close and the 2nd bedroom mattress is (in our opinion) extremely hard. If you do plan on staying with your boat. Make sure to talk to a local about the inlet area to the channels as it is EXTREMELY stumpy for a big portion of the main lake at the south end. The advice I got was after leaving the channel, stay very tight to the east for a good 100 yards, then it clears out. We would stay there again without hesitation.

The VRBO site wasn't easy to communicate with the host. The Property was very clean except the oven. Great color & weather for this time of year. We would stay again.

Cottage felt bigger and more open inside even than the pictures. The backyard is beautiful and fire pit was great. The canal is sheltered from wind and waves so great if you want to keep your boat in the water all day/night. Would recommend!

The Sweetwater Cottage was everything as advertised. Our host quickly answered our questions before our stay. The location is very nice, just a few minutes from Ludington State Park, and close to Stearns Park for great sunsets.

This was a return visit that did not disappoint. The atmosphere, cleanliness, and the quietness did not disappoint. We are already planning 2025's visit.

We chose to stay here after Labor Day & found that it was very quiet and a great place to relax. The kids played in the sand constantly while my husband & I sat nearby on the lawn. The house was clean & check in/check out instructions were clear. The house was also stocked with essentials we needed or may have forgotten like coffee & sugar, plastic baggies, hair dryer, etc. The house is just a few minutes from great restaurants, parks, museums, and downtown Ludington. We did a little bit of everything during our stay and really enjoyed it. There is plenty to do at the property if you want to stay in, too: beautiful yard to enjoy, games, puzzles, TV, etc.

We had a great time at the Cottage! It is a very short canal ride to the beautiful Hamlin lake! We were pleasantly surprised by the short walk to the beach! A state park beach in a “gravel pit” like lake. We didn’t even know existed! The last road you can take before the prettiest lakeshore in Michigan. We will most definitely be staying here again!

My family stayed at this rental for 5 nights and it was just perfect for our little getaway. Even though it's not really within walking distance to beaches/downtown area, the drives are short and the neighborhood is very quiet and peaceful. The rental itself was also great. Very clean, fully stocked with anything you might need, very happy with our stay.

This was my family’s second year staying here. The house is very clean and cozy. Great amenities. The host is easy to get a hold of. The neighborhood is quiet. And the location is perfect for the state park. There’s only good things to say.

This was our second stay. The house is very clean and contains everything would need for your stay. We enjoyed the quiet neighborhood and the off the beaten path location. The location is close to many beautiful beaches, the state park, Lake Hamlin and a great DOWNTON area with restaurants and shopping. We will stay again for sure.

It was our second anniversary and this place was just a fantastic stay. It was gorgeous and even better than we could have thought it to be. Would definitely stay here again.
