Very relaxing, clean and cute cottage. Love staying in the area for summer vacation.

The listing is accurate. Nice place overall with good dining and living space. Location is great to get into downtown Ludington, the State Park, and Lake Hamlin. Great place to stay.

The Sweetwater Cottage was perfect for our family! The location was great and the cottage was well equipped for our needs! Will definitely stay again.

Thanks for a great place to enjoy our time in Ludington. We are a family of 3, and this place had everything we needed and was just the right size for us. Thanks!

This property is clearly loved by its owners. It was comfortable, well-equipped, and beautifully decorated with artistic details. We plan to return!

Owners are very responsive. The place is very clean and well appointed. Beds are comfy. Nice residential neighborhood. Easy drive to great parks and beach. Fully recommend.

Great time for my daughter and I to unwind, catch-up and experience the local sites in Luddington.

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.

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.

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.

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 🤗😍❤️

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.

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 enjoyed the clean, spacious, well thought out and artistic touches. Thanks for a nice getaway! 😊

Great property and perfect location. It was an enjoyable winter getaway

Very cozy, soft lit well put together Farm style beach house.

Oh what a wonderfully prepared property. Loved the surrounding area. Very satisfied.

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.

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!

The cottage is just as described. Very cute and clean. Great location with lake views. Owners were very responsive to emails. We loved our mini vacation.

The house was very spacious and clean. I loved the unique art everywhere and the wonderful outdoor seating areas. I had breakfast and coffee on the porch each morning - a true paradise. Thanks for everything!

Very comforting cabin. Beach town feel and only minutes from downtown. Great place

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!

Sweetwater cottage is artistically charming, cozy & comfortable. We loved the tree canopied sunsets from the porch. This is a fabulous find for any family.

Great location, had everything we needed. Super clean and comfortable.

We recently spent a week at this cabin in mid-June. It was a very good stay and I would gladly do it again. I don't have anything to add that hasn't already been mentioned by previous guests, but I'll run through our experience. The property is elevated and overlooks Hamlin Lake. This gives a pleasant view from the deck/porch. I found the rocking chair to be comfortable. The cabin was clean and stocked with the essentials. The kitchen was large enough to be able to prepare meals and contained most of the odds and ends. From previous experiences in cabins, we now travel with a good frying pan and a cutting board, which I would recommend to others, as well. The large dining room table was useful. The beds are in good shape; slightly harder than we have at home but a comfortable sleep. The bathroom is big enough although there wasn't much storage inside for cosmetics and such, so we ended up using the linen closet just outside of the bathroom and running back and forth for cosmetics. The outdoors was nice, with plenty of off street parking, a gas grill, picnic table, and fire pit with chairs. The downtown area of Ludington has some decent shops, ice cream, and a number of restaurants. A few restaurants have closed, many have restricted hours or closed days, so I ended up making a spreadsheet of what was opened on which days for which meals. The two brew pubs were probably our favorite; the Q Smokehouse was very good, but carry out only. The city park beach is great and not far, then the state park was close by, too. The state park charges $9 per car per day if you aren't from Michigan. Many people park their cars on the side of the road on the way to the state park and access the beach that way. So, it was a great trip and I would recommend both Ludington and the Sweetwater cabin to everyone. If given the choice, I would do it again exactly the same way. Hopefully, we will be back next summer.

We spent nearly three weeks at Sweetwater Cottage in late October, early November. The cottage was everything we expected and as advertised. Super charming, and well appointed. We even had a few nice days during our stay to sit on the front porch—which turned out to be great feature of this property. Reliable internet/WiFi service made working remotely (as needed) seamless. Great to have access to laundry, outdoor fire pit, a gas fired grill, and well equipped kitchen. The cottage is located in an area that encourages long walks along the lake and at the beautifully managed and maintained nearby state park. Can’t wait to return. Our Norwich Terrier loved it as well. Thanks, Nathan and Amanda.

This cottage had all the amenities of home. We loved the porch overlooking the bayou. It is attractively decorated and very clean. The Ludington State Park and Stearns Beach/downtown Ludington are less than a 10 minute drive. Lots to see and do. Look forward to staying here again in the future.

We had a wonderful time staying in this home for three nights. It is located conveniently near downtown and Ludington State Park. It was clean and stocked with everything we needed to be comfortable. Charming and homey.
