Ludington House | Falconhurst: Cottage on lake near town and dunes!

3 Bedroom House in Ludington

"Exceptional" quiet/rustic cottage on Hamlin Lake near Ludington! Perfect for kids-of-all-ages who like the outdoors.
'Falconhurst' was the name the Swiss Family Robinson gave to their home in the trees . . . an overlook that served as a home base for adventures. Our cottage is on a bluff amongst the shade on the west shore of Hamlin Lake. Below the bluff is one of the few true beaches on the lake, where the shallow water, unencumbered by a breakwater, gently gets deeper over a long distance at a gradual pace. If you like to frolic and play in the water (or learn to swim), this is the place! 4 kayaks and 2 SUP's are on the semi-private beach for further adventures, Behind the cottage, just west, is one of the highest sand dunes in the region of the Nordhouse Dunes and Ludington State Park. Kids of all ages LOVE the run down - and differ on the climb up! ;-)
Most of the western shore of Hamlin Lake is part of the state park. Indeed, it is across the street and one can hike to the lake's dam in about 30-40 minutes. . . .it is a quiet area yet remarkably close to Ludington for a rainy-day movie or a sundae at the House of Flavors.
There are three Bedrooms, The front room overlooking the lake has a queen. BR #2 has two singles, and BR #3 has bunks. An extra 'roll-a-way' and a couple of cots are in the closet. The Living Room leather sofa is a full-size-bed foldout. . A large deck on the front provides a shaded/relaxing place to overlook the lake. The screened porch is another place to relax and there is a porch swing where, as kids, we spent many hours.
Amenities include Internet TV with your streaming service, a coffee pot, dishwasher, and microwave . . .as well as a stove and oven of course. The living room area has a couch, a fireplace, and dining table for 6-8. Still, the major advantage is the relative solitude near the lake, the semi-private beach, and state park. Laundry room with washer and dryer is in the basement. Yes! there is a pier on the beach for those with a boat. (LEFT side looking out east)
Falconhurst is a rustic cottage on a hill overlooking the lake. If you have trouble with stairs, Falconhurst, is probably not a good choice. Falconhurst is a terrific choice for families with school or pre-school age children. It is a cottage on a lake NEXT to the sand dunes with great hikes not far from the door so Falconhurst is favored by active outdoorsy families or couples or those who just want some quiet and want to wake up to the sound of waves on the beach. Please carefully review the sleeping options/arrangements to make sure it is a good fit for your party.
Also, Falconhurst is on a bluff not far from the cooling influence of Lake Michigan. We seldom wish we had air conditioning. Like most cottages on our side of the lake, there is no electric A/C. Fans are provided and, again, seldom needed. This is an old-school cabin with many updates.

Summary: We had a great vacation! This cottage has everything you'd need. I loved the water being right in the back. We had access to 2 stand up paddle boards & 2 kayaks. We enjoyed ourselves & definitely would go back back.

Summary: My husband and I and our two boys (3 and 6) stayed here for over a week over 4th of July and had various family members and friends stay with us as well during our trip. The location of the house is amazing and photos don't do the property justice. It is the perfect, most idyllic lake cottage. The beach is enormous and paddle boards and kayaks are provided. With two energetic boys, this was a dream come true. The lake is very shallow so I had no hesitation letting the boys swim on their own. They played for hours in the water and on the beach while we could relax watching them. There is a fire pit which we roasted marshmallows at many nights. You are next to the Ludington State Park and have access to the dunes across the street. The location could not be better. The bathroom has been updated and it works wonderfully, I appreciated the fact that the bathroom and shower were separated as well. Eric was the most accommodating and responsive host I have ever encountered. He was there to answer any questions we had. If you are looking to rent a quintessential Michigan lake cottage, this is your place. It truly was one of the best vacations we've ever had and we made wonderful memories there. Highly recommend for families especially those with younger children.

Summary: We enjoyed our stay at Falconhurst very much. The house was very charming and had a lovely "up north" feel. It was close to town but the property itself was secluded. I was hesitant to book this site initially because of the comments regarding the bathroom and shower, but I'm so glad we decided to stay there. Yes, the shower is small, but it is comparable to a shower in a camper. We found it very doable and it did not affect our stay whatsoever. We had a great time and I would highly recommend staying at Falconhurst.

Summary: A very long overdue family vacation with just the our family. This location was absolutely perfect in every way. Secluded, on a no outlet road, across from the state park with gorgeous sand dunes, it’s own private beach yet less than five minutes from some of the best and yet least used beaches I’ve been to in MI. Could not recommend this location and host more.

Summary: Escaped city life for a week on Hamlin Lake. The property is as described, a cabin, with some nice amenities. As noted, the lack of AC is not an issue, lovely breeze from the lake and shade from the trees. Loved the kayak and SUPs, (brought our own life vests). Easy proximity to Lake Michigan beaches and downtown Ludington for daily excursions is a huge plus. Explored the trails and dunes across the street, wish we made more time for that. Only note for future guests is that the driveway is not paved so we had quite a bit of sand in our vehicle by the end of the week to vacuum out when we got home. Overall a great week Up North.

Summary: We have traveled to many VRBOs around Northern Michigan and this was definitely a favorite! We loved the location with the proximity to the State Park as well as the town of Ludington. My three young boys especially loved our “private” dunes across the street as they made us make the climb almost every day. We always love staying in older cottages and this one did not disappoint. It was spacious and yet cozy for our family of five. It had everything we needed for our stay and the laundry was a nice bonus too. We will definitely be back! Thank you Eric and family for sharing your home with us.

Summary: Cabin is much larger than pictures portray. Very clean. There are lots of stairs but we had no problems and didn’t see it as an inconvenience. We were nervous about the bathroom due to reading past reviews but we felt as though it was perfectly fine. Shower was plenty big and we enjoyed that the shower was separate from the actual restroom especially with 7 people. We loved the private beach and deck. It made for the perfect “slow down” vacation. We also enjoyed that it was not a far drive from town. We enjoyed local coffee shops and playgrounds. The Sandcastle Children’s museum was a huge hit with our toddlers. Everything we wanted to do we were there in 10/15 minutes. Owner answered all of our questions and made it simple to book. 10/10 recommend.

Summary: This cottage is rustic, yet it has everything that you need to be comfortable. The beach is perfect for the kids to play in the sand. The water is shallow and clean. It is in a quiet and private setting. Took some day trips to Ludington State Park which is beautiful. The kids went on adventures on the dunes across the street. We had a wonderful week, and we hope to return next year. Thank you for sharing your cottage with us.
