Such a magical place. Enchanting winding woods road and a serene view from the lakeside deck. Stunning sunsets and starry nights. Super quiet cottage from the inside, with comfortable furnishings and well stocked kitchen. Downtown Manistee and Ludington for dinners. Nordhouse Dunes Wilderness area and Lake Michigan @ Manistee area for some spectacular views of Lake Michigan. Morning fishing on Hamlin Lake with great success. A wonderful time was had by all!

We had a wonderful stay. The house is well appointed with everything you need. Beds are comfy and front porch is great for morning coffee. The doc was perfect for our 19 ft boat with bumpers built in to protect the boat when waves are rough. This end of the lake is remote with some weeds, but also a little more protected from wind. The boat launch is about 30 minute drive but only about a mile across from the house. We were able to leave the boat in all week. It's about 35 minutes to Ludington. Last 5 miles you are on dirt roads getting back to the house, but they are well maintained. We loved the privacy and would stay again. Sharon was very responsive with all my questions. Fantastic house!

We needed a place that was pet friendly and had at least 3 bedrooms with beds suitable for tall people. We also wanted to be very near or on Hamlin Lake. This place was perfect. It had all the items you would expect to find in your own home.

We loved our stay! The property was clean, well-equipped, and right on the lake.
We all had a wonderful time cruising the lake, hiking in the woods, kayaking, and hanging out by the campfire. We got to see some wonderful sunsets and Sharon was so attentive when we needed her.
The cottage itself boasts wonderful lake views, 2 porches, and a bevy of books and games. We didn’t need the AC on this trip, but it was nice knowing it was there. I really can’t complain about a thing.

Hamlin Lake Hideaway is PERFECT for anyone looking for peace, quiet and relaxation. Just a 10-15 minute drive from both Nordhouse Dunes (great hiking) and Lake Michigan Recreation area. Far enough away from Ludington area that you feel secluded (that's what we were looking for), yet also close enough (15-20 min drive) for a day trip or if you need something.
3 kayaks provided...2 solo and 1 tandem, a very nice touch as this portion of the lake is perfect for it. Plenty of outdoor seating for relaxing. Fire pit and Weber grill provided as well. Outstanding views of the lake, with nature all around you.
We will definitely be back!

The Hamlin Hideaway is a lovely home. It’s very peaceful . The porch was the best place to hang-out. Beautiful view onto the lake. Sharon was super easy to work with before & during our stay.

Lovely home with a great lake view!! The home was perfect for my husband & I, two teenaged boys, and our dog. Well stocked and very clean. All the furnishings were great too.
The dock in the water was great for the boat we rented for the week. The boys loved fishing, tubing and just going for boat rides.
The home is on the north end of Hamlin Lake where the water is calmer which was nice for the boating. It is situated nicely on the lot for sitting out on the back deck and watching the lake life.
The only complaints would be the long gravel road you have to take to get to the property and the lake view could be a lot better if they took out a couple of trees. Otherwise very impressed!! We had a great time and are already talking about when we can go back.

we stayed a week here at the "hamlin lake hideaway", my husband and myself, his daughter and her husband, and two grandchildren, 10 + 13, and all of us absolutely loved it. the home is very well designed, and very nicely appointed. i was a bit concerned as to how much the "daylight level" would resemble a basement and it was a non-issue, it was a lovely. we also packed cleaning supplies and other misc being that towels are not provided, we were afraid it might be a "stripped down" rental - it was not. we rented a pontoon boat for the week from barnhardts and kept it at the dock. we saw deer and wild turkeys on the property, we enjoyed hiking through the nordhouse dunes wilderness area to lake michigan. we went into ludington for dinner (luciano's has great salads and pizza), and to the state park. not only was the property beautiful, sharon was also a breeze to work with. (the only spot for improvement would be to include laundry facilities).
