The Hideaway of Ludington - Beautiful home in the downtown area
About this house rental
Nestled in Ludington, this attractive house for $160 per night is a great option for your next trip. 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 Keywords: House

The house was wonderful! The cleanliness was spot on and the beds were actually comfortable. Great location close to downtown and the beach, but not so close to have a lot of traffic. We will definitely make this our first choice when staying in Ludington.

This is an older home but very well done and SPOTLESS! Plenty of room, and very well stocked. We loved the back patio. Seating for 10 and pretty lighting. The kids loved the bunk bed and the upstairs “fairy room” as our granddaughter called it. Super comfortable. Obviously great location. This is the perfect house for a family or friend gathering!

Location is convenient to restaurants in town and a half mile walk to lighthouse. Rental mattresses are OK-several could use replacement. Kitchen has plenty of dishes and utensils, but no wine glasses.

Our family really enjoyed our stay here! We had a 3 year old and it worked well for young kids, plus grandparents. We loved that we could walk downtown and to the beach right from our house, the not needing to drive everywhere was awesome. Owner was super easy to reach and made our stay really great. We would definitely recommend!

Great value for the price. Plenty of room for our family. The house did smell musty in a historic house kind of way and allergens were high. I could only spend a few minutes at a time inside. The yard was lovely and a perfect place to relax in. The bed in the front bedroom was comfortable in a worn-in kind of way, but the queen bed in the next room was all springs.
Note that amenities like coffee and shampoo are not supplied. Definitely not a deal breaker, but worth knowing.
Location was perfect! Thank you for a lovely stay!

TLC. Great location! We already rebooked for next year

Just a quick weekend stay for my wife and I. The house was far bigger than we needed, but that’s a good thing. The house is walking distance to all the downtown restaurants and shops. A quick drive to the State Park and Jack Pine campground and your on the trail to Big Sable lighthouse. If you haven’t made that hike, you should. Easy hiking with a bit more difficulty if you include the shipwreck. The patio was set up for hanging out and there was a variety of board games available. The main floor shower is beautiful and the updates are nice. Mike was good to work with through the booking process.

The house was very clean and well maintained for its age. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes and utensils. There were plenty of towels and blankets available. The location is walking distance to downtown and the waterfront. It is an old home with steep stairs to the upper level and deep tubs. This wasn't an issue for our group, but may be for someone with mobility issues.

Very much enjoyed our stay. We had family in for a wedding so it just made more sense to get a big place than hotel rooms! Only bummer is that the online it said 2 kings and one Queen/full and then the rest were twin. This was true however the Queen/full was so hard that no one could sleep on it. There were more than enough twin beds but then we had to split up some spouses. Other than that, the place was great for the price Clean, nice big open kitchen.

The house was clean with well equipped kitchen. A few more small bowls for nuts or cereal would be helpful, plus noting there is NO ice maker! Being an older building, it has many quirky things. Parking is in the back with surfaces being wet/muddy and uneven, plus awkward entrances. Granted our group consisted of 5 women 75+ years olds, so navigating up and down stairs inside and out, one needed to be mindful. The mattress in the bedroom off the living room area could stand being replaced. It was loud and crunchy sounding, like made from straw. All the appliances worked well and I certainly appreciated the promptness of communication with the owner! Probably better suited for younger people.

The house is in the best location of Ludington. It is in the center of town with quite neighborhood. The house is quite old but the host keep it quite clean. The only point should be considered is they don't have a central AC so it might be a little hot in the summer upstairs. But we are fine because our vacation is in Fall.

We so enjoyed our week at the Hideaway! This spacious property is clean and well-kept with two fully-stocked kitchens, a working washer and dryer (which we used a lot!), comfy furnishings, plentiful beds, air-conditioned bedrooms, and that historical charm that only a 140-year-old home can offer. Our kids loved exploring the place and playing hide and seek in the many rooms and plentiful hiding places. The location gave us quick access to the local restaurants, playgrounds, and a mere 20-minute drive to Ludington State Park. The owners are responsive and helpful to boot. We'd highly recommend this house if you're looking for a place to spend your vacation!

Very pleased with the property and the property manager. The price was not terrible. Location of house was on a very nice street. If it had a covered patio, it would have been perfect.

We had a great time in Ludington with our adult children! We find it so hard to all get together at the same time and meeting centrally here worked great! House was clean and had everything we needed In the kitchen! Only thing I wished I would have packed was a scissors to cut the bacon open and a serrated bread knife as we had fresh bread to cut, and it may have been there I just didn’t see it! 😂. There were Lots of towels in the bathrooms! We rented both halves of the house and the upstairs was a quaint little apartment with the extra beds we needed. It is a short distance from the downtown area, easily walkable. Would stay here again! A++++. Thanks so much for sharing your home with us!

We stayed at The Hideaway for a wedding in Ludington. The property was clean, well stocked and was located close to downtown restaurants, shops, the Pier Lighthouse, and the wedding venue. Comfy beds, old victorian house with lots of character, and a wonderful staff to work with- We thoroughly enjoyed this rental!

My friends and family came into Ludington for a wedding and the Hideaway was a perfect place to house a larger group. The location was fantastic with it being a short walk to downtown and the beach. I would highly recommend staying here.

Lack of air conditioning..... hot inside and uncomfortable. Portable AC unit in bedroom (only AC unit in entire downstairs) extremely loud.
Inside needs updating and some TLC. Kitchen was the only room updated in this house. Matresses should be replaced.
Glad we did not have to use the upstairs.

We stayed here for a weekend during a pickleball tournament with our daughter, her husband and 4 kids. Mike was amazing to work with. They also do not have strict clean up instructions like striping beds and doing laundry before you leave. It was much appreciated with having to get all the kids packed up and out the door.
Location - perfect! Halfway between town and the water. Easy walk to the House of Flavors (a must visit place if you are in Ludington!)
Home - the house is 125 years and full of original charm. Please do not expect it to be new or have the appearance of a spotless new home. Both king beds were comfortable, but the linens were a little tattered. Our grands LOVED the upstairs bedroom with 4 beds and they could all stay together “like a sleepover”. Furnishings were definitely not new, but comfortable!!! Hands down the cow stool was the favorite of all the kids. This is an awesome layout if you have are a family traveling with grandparents. Our kids/grands took the upstairs and we had the main floor. Made for very peaceful morning for us ;)
Overall - It was exactly what we expected. A great place to stay for the weekend. I would highly recommend :)
Thanks for a great stay!!!
