Falconhurst: Cottage on lake near town and dunes!

Besides the steps (50 up to cottage and 50 down to beach), Orkin Pest Control visiting twice in one week (had to close windows on hot days), flies and mice at night time in cottage, and needing one more box fan (no air conditioning) this is a great cottage on the quiet side of Hamlin Lake (5000 acre lake) with a sandy beach. Easy walk into Ludington State Park. Swim at beach. Kayaks and Paddleboards for exploring the water. Nice fire pit on the beach. Plenty of room for family of 5 adults to find time to play together or read separately.

Nice spot on Hamlin lake. We had a wonderful time. There is a lot of steps to and from the cabin. It's a great place to unwindfrom everyday hustle and bustle.

This was our second time staying with our family at Falconhurst and it was even better than the first. Our 3 and 5 year old loved the private beach and the Sandcastle children’s museum. We loved seating on the deck and sitting around the fire pit at night. The bathroom and shower room remodel was perfect and very convenient with having such a large family. We are so thankful to have the opportunity to stay again and make so many family memories.

The cottage was just as described. It was rustic yet comfortable. The location was nothing short of amazing. We enjoyed the beautiful calm sandy bottom beach and the calm pocket of water for boating and water sports. The view was beautiful and overall had a very relaxed calming vibe. The adults and teens had a wonderful time.

Beautiful, rustic property. Our kids LOVED the beach and paddle boards. Eric was very responsive when we reached out with questions. Thank you for a great trip!

We had a great vacation! This cottage has everything you'd need. I loved the water being right in the back. We had access to 2 stand up paddle boards & 2 kayaks. We enjoyed ourselves & definitely would go back back.

Our family had a great time on Hamlin. Super cottage, great beach, great location. Wonderful.

My husband and I and our two boys (3 and 6) stayed here for over a week over 4th of July and had various family members and friends stay with us as well during our trip. The location of the house is amazing and photos don't do the property justice. It is the perfect, most idyllic lake cottage. The beach is enormous and paddle boards and kayaks are provided. With two energetic boys, this was a dream come true. The lake is very shallow so I had no hesitation letting the boys swim on their own. They played for hours in the water and on the beach while we could relax watching them. There is a fire pit which we roasted marshmallows at many nights. You are next to the Ludington State Park and have access to the dunes across the street. The location could not be better. The bathroom has been updated and it works wonderfully, I appreciated the fact that the bathroom and shower were separated as well. Eric was the most accommodating and responsive host I have ever encountered. He was there to answer any questions we had. If you are looking to rent a quintessential Michigan lake cottage, this is your place. It truly was one of the best vacations we've ever had and we made wonderful memories there. Highly recommend for families especially those with younger children.

We enjoyed our stay at Falconhurst very much. The house was very charming and had a lovely up north feel. It was close to town but the property itself was secluded. I was hesitant to book this site initially because of the comments regarding the bathroom and shower, but I'm so glad we decided to stay there. Yes, the shower is small, but it is comparable to a shower in a camper. We found it very doable and it did not affect our stay whatsoever. We had a great time and I would highly recommend staying at Falconhurst.
