We loved our stay at The Sweetwater Cottage! Nestled up on a hill with views of Hamlin Lake! Close to the state park and downtown Ludington made for a wonderful stay! We’ll be back! Thank you!

Should have shower bar in bathroom.
Handrail to laundry is not stable.
Backup batteries for clocks and remotes should be provided or checked between rentals
Overall the property was very nice. Thought there was more of a water view. We would stay there again.

I literally could have packed my clothes and toothbrush to stay there. The home is a beautifully decorated coastal cottage with hardwood floors, bead-board and shiplap. We are campers so we are used to bringing everything with us. You needn't do that at Sweetwater Cottage. The kitchen is fully furnished with everything you could possibly need. The beds are comfortable with a variety of pillows from firm to fluffy. There are nightlights throughout. They have a bench seat just inside the door with a boot tray underneath for sandy shoes and hooks above for your bag as you come and go. The living space is comfy and cozy with 2 sofas. The dining table is built for a crowd with two very long bench seats. The shower has great water pressure and seemingly endless hot water. There are chairs around the fire pit as well as low sand chairs that we took to the beach. The area is quiet and we were able to sit outside each night for a fire. No noisy neighbors, and a wooden fence for some privacy.
It is an older cottage so the floors are a bit uneven in places but it truly adds to the charm.
If I could give future renters advice I would say to bring an extension cord. As with any house, the outlet isn't always where you need it to be. Also the water is extremely hot which I fully enjoyed, but if you have littles you'll want to make sure they don't turn it up when they're in there. All in all I couldn't recommend this home highly enough. You'll have to check it out yourself.
Thank you for allowing us to stay! We enjoyed it so much.

First trip to Ludington. Great beaches / parks. The cottage has a lot of vintage charm. Tastefully decorated. Spent a lot of time on the covered deck (lake view, shaded by mature trees, blooming foliage all around). Loved the huge dining table (able to work on a puzzle with room to spare for meals). The kitchen is well-stocked (had everything we needed to cook the meals we planned). Slept well (comfortable mattresses and window A/C units). Made good use of the washer & dryer. Nice, big fire pit. Thanks for letting us bring our dog. Would stay here again.

My husband & I have stayed at Sweetwater Cottage a few times. It’s quaint, clean, well-appointed and in a great location. Bonus is that it’s dog friendly in a very walkable neighborhood.

Sweetwater cottage is a comfortable cottage with artistic touches. We enjoyed the covered porch and could sit out there well into the evening. Having a washer and dryer is a definite plus. Owners were very helpful and have a beautiful store (The Red Door) in Ludington.

Going home
Absolutely loved the cabin it was perfect for our family. Very cute and homy. Loved coming home again for the first time in 17 years. Got to see our very elderly grandparents 🤗😍❤️

This was our second stay at this cabin. We went to Ludington for the first time last year and enjoyed it enough to come back again this year. The Sweetwater cabin is in a great location, within minutes of the beach and downtown. The cabin has everything that we needed and the description of what is there is accurate. We will be coming back again next summer, which I think says it all.

We had a great time exploring the Ludington area while staying in Sweetwater cottage. It is very nicely decorated and very clean. The beds are comfortable. The front porch is a great place to hang out outside. The owners were very responsive when I had a question. We used the access into the Lower Bayou around the corner for our paddleboard. Rode my bike out to Ludington St Park. Did a beautiful trail in Ludington St park and Nordhouse Dunes. Ludington is super cute town - recommend Jamestown Brewery.

Fantastic stay at the cottage! Everything you need to make meals. Great covered porch which we used often. 10 minute drive to the hikes at Ludington State Park, and 10 minute drive into town for restaurants, breweries, groceries etc. Definitely will be back!

I wished I would have stayed a few more days… this was my favorite out of the 3 places I stayed at during my vaca. Super cute and quiet area. The only thing I would suggest is to mention it is directly on the corner and the driveway is the 1st on the left when you pull onto the road (I cannot remember the cross street lol). It was a little difficult to see the address, but I am also very directional challenged lol!

Lovely decor. Conveniently located. Super comfy beds! Great cabin-esque amenities (porch for morning coffee drinking, fire pit for starry nights). A nice place to unplug. Highly recommended.

Quaint, Quiet and much too Quick that our Wonderful week went by at Sweetwater Cottage! Close to everything… Downtown Ludington, Beaches and Sand dunes! We had such a Good time! We Loved the large dining table to accommodate friends for dinner that were camping near by! We are a family of 5 and felt the cottage had enough space never feeling like we were on top of one another! I so Loved the porch swing! Every morning I was a Happy :) camper, swinging and enjoying my book sipping my morning coffee in a gorgeous mug handmade by the Owner herself Amanda! The floral one was my favorite! Perfect handle and rim! The cottage (as you may have already read a few times) is decorated so nicely with their own artwork throughout the house! Beds were pretty comfortable, but I suggest to bring your own pillow for added comfort. And Finally, do be prepared to cook a few meals at the cottage in the next few months, (August through September) since a lot of the restaurants are Very low on staff. As a result, there are long wait times! So Go early to dinner, Be patient if going late or Cook in the cute blue and white kitchen! The kitchen is well stocked, however bring your own cutting board, sauté pan and cookie sheet, theirs are quite worn out!! The home is a little but rickety since it is old… the floor is not very even so be careful walking! But overall we Loved our stay at this Adorable cottage! Hope you choose this Lovely cottage too! You won’t be disappointed!
