The Hideaway has been welcoming visitors looking to 'spread out' and relax on their vacation to this quaint town for years.

Our home was built in the 1800's and has stood the test of time and brings repeat visitors back year after year. We're located in a quiet peaceful neighborhood just 2 1/2 blocks from Ludington Avenue (the main street of Ludington) and just five blocks from the marina, lighthouse and large public beach that makes Ludington famous.

With its large size our home is great for large and extended families or friends looking to get together. Need a smaller unit Contact us for details on renting just the upper or lower unit. We'll be happy to talk to you and explain these options.

Downstairs features lots of room with three bedrooms (king, queen, double), a spacious living room, formal dining room, large kitchen, laundry room and bath making it perfect for families, extended families or groups of friends.

The upper level consists of an eat-in kitchen, living room, bath, king bed in the master bedroom and a second bedroom attached to the master that consists of four singles beds and room for sleeping bags or air mattresses. This is perfect for couples, couples with small kids, or friends looking for an affordable way to enjoy Ludington.

Each year, visitors leave comments about their stay in a book for them to leave their memories. One thing is certainly true: the saddest part of the trip is when it is time to go. They love their stay in our home and enjoy the many wonderful options that are in walking distance to them: downtown and its shops, restaurants, bars and antique stores, the public beach, the lighthouse, and marina. Visiting the State Park is a seven mile beautiful bike ride with the water on one side and sand dunes on the other.

With an ice cream store and downtown in walking distance, kids love the ability to seek-out adventures or a scoop of ice cream on their own.

Each morning and evening, you'll hear the Badger car ferry sound its horn and if there is a bit of fog in the early morning or late at night, you'll listen to the sound of a lighthouse letting ships know where it sits.

We hope you'll enjoy your vacation in about as relaxing a place as we believe you'll find anywhere.

Sincerely,
Mike, Maureen and our children Michael, Matt & Kevin

    The home is large and very comfortable, plenty of common space to enjoy with family. Terrific communication experience with the host, and easily walkable to the beach, House of Flavors, and Ludington shops. The upstairs is essentially a connected small apartment, so there's additional privacy for some guests, if needed. Be aware that the upstairs shower is outside the bathroom, and the second dormer bedroom is accessed through the first bedroom, so a little less private than you might expect. Would recommend that level for a single adult or a couple, with or without small kids. All in all we had a wonderful week in Ludington staying here, and will rent here again if given the opportunity.

    It was a good stay but Needs to be a little more handicap assessable. Or noted in the listing. Needs to be advised that 4 of the beds are back in the attic and it’s hard for tall people to get through the door. The bunk beds in the first floor bedroom needs to be noted they are not for adults.

    Had a great stay in Ludington. The house had everything we needed. What we liked best was the location. We took several family strolls to downtown, the marina area, and the Lake Michigan beach front, all just a few minute walk. We also took the opportunity to ride bikes from the house up to the State Park. We will definitely try to get back next year.

    Perfect location for a summer get away! The house is as promised with plenty of supplies including dishes, cookware, towels and more. Nothing fancy, well worn and loved with plenty of comfy beds, eating areas, smart tvs, room ac units and sitting areas. Ludington is amazing with beautiful beaches, playgrounds and shopping within walking distance. We had a great week

    Enjoyed our stay over the 4th! PERFECT outside patio with yard and side porch. The location was extremely convenient and walkable for our family ranging from stroller age to older adults. Minor things to note include: house is not on central AC but does provide multiple window units and fans. The upstairs bathroom is an interesting set up but did the job. Hosts were SO kind and accommodating, easy to communicate with, and hospitable.

    We enjoyed an excellent week in Ludington here. Great walkable location. The host gave timely and clear check in instructions and checked in when we briefly lost power. Downstairs portion of house has been mostly updated with comfortable beds and furniture, a nice kitchen and bathroom. Upstairs portion is less updated. Notably, the shower is in a hallway with no privacy which was an issue. No stopper in tub which made baths difficult. A small but nice backyard and paved quiet alley provided play space for 4 active boys. The table and chairs in the backyard were nice and shady in the afternoons for cocktails and dinner. Very walkable to downtown, and beach, although we found Ludington less busy than expected for our end of June vacation and usually drove to the beach… Stearns beach and our favorite Buttersville beach. A day trip to hike at Ludington State Park and fishing off the deck at the marina were a hit as was the putt putt across form Stearns beach and walking to the lighthouses. Also recommend eating at Jamesport Brewery…outdoor games while you wait, and the new Perch Restaurant on Hamlin Lake with great views. A wonderful family stay.

    We were looking for a place that would be convenient for golfing in Baldwin, Ludington and Manistee and this place fit the bill in fine fashion. It was walkable to many good eating establishments and a fine brewery in Ludington. The place itself was very comfortable, super clean, had 2 bathrooms, and very safe and convenient parking. We will certainly be back if the opportunity arises.

    My family and I stayed at the Hideaway for a long weekend this fall, just to get away. We rented both the upper and the lower units so there was more than enough room for 9 adults and 2 young children. It was also the perfect location, a couple blocks from downtown Ludington, walking distance to Lake Michigan, and less than a 30 minute drive to Manistee. There was a well stocked kitchen, which was great because we ate almost all our meals at the house. We would love to stay here again if we visit Ludington in the future!

    My family and I stayed here went in town for a family wedding. The host was extremely detailed and the posting was very accurate! The house was the perfect set up for my little family, my brother and his family as well as my parents. My two kids loved the bunkbed room, and even though it was right by one of the side doors and the kitchen area, the house floors and doors were very quiet and nothing ever woke them! That was a big bonus for us with so many people in and out during the weekend! It is a very convenient location as it is in walking distance to the beach, as well as to plenty of restaurants and shops. If ever we need to stay in Ludington again, we would definitely stay here!

    The house was clean, we only stayed in one bedroom and the bed was comfortable. The living room was a great disappointment the chairs and couch were well worn and very uncomfortable; we had to bring dining room chairs to sit in. There is an upstairs, that not realized we didn’t need to rent also, but really isn’t good for a rental itself. There has been updates made but there are things that need repaired

    We visit Ludington for our annual family vacation and we had a great week! Location was fantastic & the house was perfect for a large group (6 adults and 4 kids 1-7 years old + room for more!). Everything was as described in the description- we had a great week and hope to return again in the future!

    We had 5 adults with 3 children staying in the house, and 4 other family members would drop in during the day (living in Ludington somewhere else), and there was a space for everyone. Gathering aroung the table for meal in the back of the property was wonderful! And it really very close to the lake, downtown ,et cetera. Very satisfied!
