This was our 3rd year staying here. We enjoy every minute of the place. Easy walk to the beach, watching the Badger come in and out and close to many attractions.

We loved the location, but, the house itself needs a few things "fixed". Kitchen bathroon hot water faucet doesnt work. Living room bathroom faucets too short for sink that is there, hard to wash hands. Front steps and handrailings need repair. Stove's bottom panel hanging off. We loved the location, but the house needs some TLC.

Wonderfully sandwiched between the beach, marina, and downtown, we could walk anywhere we wanted to go. Cute historical home with the charms and quirks of an older property. We loved it! Good value, easy check in and out. We didn't really need to communicate with the owners bc we had what we needed. My only observation is that the master bed is a double, not a queen, if that makes a difference. We saw it listed as both in different listings. Ludington is beautiful and we felt welcome and at home in the Dock House.

I had been hearing about Ludington from two different friends who had been visiting Ludington for 60+ years. Ludington didn’t disappoint! Charming people and town. The Dock House was a perfect location, clean, neat and the owner was very responsive when needed. Everything the description indicated!

We enjoyed our stay. The home is very interesting with some vintage decor. It is in a beautiful setting a few blocks to the beach & the marina. My husband liked watching the Badger come in from WI. I loved walking the neighborhood. All of the crab trees were in bloom-so pretty! Hope to be back.

This property is ideally located within the city. It was an easy walk to downtown, the city marina, and the city beach and park. The lower part of Dock House is definitely themed for the lake and contained everything we needed. It was just two of us, and although it contained beds for 5, we think it would seem small unless kids made up some of that number. We cooked for most of our meals and there were pots, pans, utensils, and dishes for everything we made. We hope to be back!

Our family of 5 stayed at The Dock House for 3 nights while in town for a wedding. Had everything we needed for our stay. Loved walking the dog by the marina or along the shore where we could see the lighthouse. Walking distance to great food and shops as well. This house has old charm, but still provides the needed conveniences. Would stay again for sure. Great communication- from my inquiry prior to booking our stay, through our departure. Had a little hiccup with access upon arrival and Brian was on top of it right away. Thanks for a great experience! Hope to see you again in the future.

Very clean and great location. Familiar with property and noted that is becoming a bit dated. Also there was no cooking basics such as salt/pepper oil etc for preparing meals. Ate out little more than usual for our stays at vaca rentals. Always fun to visit Ludington and the location cannot be any better

Wonderful house in a great neighborhood. Great location with easy walk to beach and downtown. And we were able to see and hear the Badger go out and come in daily which my kids loved. Already discussing next years vacation. And the booking process was simple.

The view and location = 5 STARS!

We initially intended to head out of town to ride ATV trails but found the house so comfortable and convenient we spent more time in town than planned. Watched the parade from a block away and fireworks from the front porch. Was blessed with enough space for a couple games of cards with friends as we waited for the fireworks. Would recommend and may rent again.

The location was great, we could walk to the beach, the downtown, the marina, all within 4 blocks or so from the house. We love historic houses like this, & it had about anything you might need to prepare a meal or cook on the grill, just bring your food.

Great Location.

The words 'casually elegant' seem to best describe the Dock House - a blend of old and new, period pieces with modern touches. The house was Clean, Comfortable and Close to everything - the waterfront, the downtown area and, most important, the ice cream shop! Thanks to Brian and all who were a part of making our stay in Ludington so enjoyable.

This was a perfect location for us--close to the marina, pier, and downtown. The house needed a little bit of work, but the owner confirmed that he would give those areas attention. This is not a fancy house by any means, but it was comfortable, clean, and worked well for us. The outdoor porch was a big bonus too--we sat out there every evening!
