Cozy Lakeside Cottage, North Shore, Upper Hamlin
About this cottage rental
Located in Hamlin Lake, this lovely cottage for $161 per night is a fantastic option for your next break. Come enjoy our like NEW cottage nestled in the Manistee National Forest on the north shore, sunny side, of upper Hamlin Lake. As you travel down the last 5 miles of the wooded gravel road, you won't see any houses, just an occasional deer, opossum, raccoon, porcupine or squirrel. Nature at its finest. The cottage was built in the 1940’s and has been totally renovated/updated inside and out. The furnishings, cabinets, appliances, linens, etc. are all like new and are still very neat, CLEAN, disinfectected after each visitor, and well maintained. You will enjoy a panoramic view of the entire upper lake and awesome sunsets over the dunes right from your deck or the shore. Fishing is great right off the 40 ft dock where you can also tie up your boat. Removed mid September. Boating, swimming, skiing, hiking, wine tasting, and other fun activities are waiting just for you! There is also a shared lakeside firepit. Lake Michigan is minutes away for an afternoon picnic or swim. Golfing at some of the state's finest courses is close by. Or, for those who like more physical activity, bring your bikes for riding on the miles of trails in the National Forest. Or, if you prefer, bring a good book to read while sipping on your favorite beverage in a lounge chair by the lake! If you are looking for 2 cottages in close proximity (200 feet apart), this cottage sleeps 2 adults and The Shadows on Hamlin Lake #1 sleeps 3 adults! (See VRBO listing #236973.) Great for friends and/or families who like to vacation together but sleep/stay in different quarters. It all awaits you at The Shadows on Hamlin Lake #2. We live on the property, adjacent to this cottage which is approximately 20 feet from the waters edge. Because it is so close to the lake, we provide you with a garden cart to take your belongs to the cottage, as you cannot drive to your back door. You may hear the water lapping on the break wall or on the attached boathouse wall. For some this may be a relaxing, soothing sound. For others……. Cottage is located 5.5 miles down a gravel road. Children 16 years and older welcome. NO ANIMALS/PETS. No contact checkin but available by cell 24/7. Keys on kitchen table, door unlocked for your arrival. Keywords: cottage, lakeshore, lakeside

Loved the place, exactly what I was looking for. Tucked in the peace of the Manistee National Forest you'll find this quiet gem. Great views of Hamlin Lake, a cozy cottage to relax and unwind, and not to far from all that Manistee and Ludington have to offer. Hosts were excellent and I look forward to returning. If you're into woods, water and quiet, it's perfect.

Cute little boat house with everything you need for a great getaway on the lake. Clean and very well stocked in all areas. From chairs and tables outside to TV and fully appointed house.
Owners were very helpful with the lay of the lake and the best places to fish and Sun. Also hiking trails near the house and a short drive to the fantastic lake Michigan.

This is a beautiful, spotlessly clean cottage with an extraordinary view of a small lake. The hostess, who lives on site, is a delightful person whose kindness and sincerity will further add to your stay.

We had a wonderful stay at The Shadows. The view was wonderful, the hosts were kind and helpful, the dock was easy to access and tie up to, and the parking was closer than what we envisioned. We definitely would stay here again.

We enjoyed our stay and loved the view of the lake. It is close enough to Ludington State Park that we were able to spend time hiking and going to the beach. Also close to town. Hosts are excellent would definitely go again.
5.0
2nd time at the shadows … first time in the cottage closer to the lake - absolutely wonderful. Some of the best relaxation we could have asked for - evenings at the firepit, days on the swing and listening to lake splash against the dock. We found this listing during the pandemic and desperately craved the peace and tranquility in spite of having the flexibility/freedom to fly to a vacation destination . We made the 6hr drive from columbus,OH because Deb and Mark’s place is just that comfortable, relaxing and exactly the dose of unplug we needed before the summer officially ends.
yes it is remote, absolute safe and they have already thought of everything. Just bring your groceries, your clothes and willingness to unwind.

We have stayed at the Shadows in the past
The house is great for 2 people but can accommodate 4. Very clean and comfortable. The location is close to Nordhouse dunes that has great hiking . We went into Ludington and Manistee, both great towns with State parks. Deb and Mark are helpful and friendly. Enjoyed the Adirondack and zero gravity chairs, lots of shade and sun on the property. Good for boating or kayaking. Would recommend this VRBO to anyone

I must highlight the cleanliness and comforts of the house. The place is a beauty absolutely recommended.

Peaceful & Gorgeous View
The 5 mile gravel road is well worth it for this view. We brought our kayaks and it was a perfect place to paddle. My husband loved that he could fish right outside the cottage doors. The owners live close by but were very good about giving us space and privacy, yet responded quickly when we messaged them with questions.
We enjoyed the puzzles and games provided (Uno, Yahtzee) on the rainy days!
Well stocked kitchen where we made the majority of our meals (get groceries before you come, the nearest grocery stores are about 30 mins away).
Not having a washer and dryer was the only downfall but we were able to hand wash the things we needed and hang them on the clothesline provided for outside drying.
We would definitely stay again and will recommend to friends !
