Ludington Cottage | Hamlin Lake Southside Sanctuary

3 Bedroom Cottage in Ludington

Now booking for the 2026 season! Come and enjoy all that Hamlin Lake has to offer at this one of a kind property. Located down a 100 yard private road with 425 feet of pristine sandy lake front, there is no way you will feel crowded. Why "Southside"? This property is arguably the southernmost cottage on Lower Hamlin. What does that mean? Amazing views of all of Lower Hamlin and the famous sand dunes, and a stones throw from everything that Ludington has to offer.
Head south approximately 5 mins to downtown Ludington, where you can shop and stop at House of Flavors for an ice cream cone you won't regret. Head west approximately 5 mins (or less!) to Lake Michigan for a marvelous sunset, or to the Ludington State park to hike one of the numerous trails. This place is location, location, location!!! Walk or bike down the road to Sargent Sand's Lost Lake, where you can swim in the warm waters while enjoying the peaceful dunes. Rather boat to the dunes on the northern part of the lake and enjoy the comradery there? Bring your boat and park it at the dock. We provide rubber fenders and have cleats to tie your boat to during your stay. We also have a paddle boat, kayaks, water mat, and different yard games that guests are welcome to.
Full disclosure: This vacation property is the lower level of a 3600 sq. ft. lake house with it's own private entrance. There is a locked door that separates the top and bottom level. The pictured patio is the rental's own private patio. The owner visits the property regularly (typically weekends) to maintain it, and occupies the top floor. Rental has air conditioning.
The rental was recently renovated in 2021 and is all brand new. If you would like to bring your dog please reach out to us and we can chat!

Summary: We enjoyed our stay at the South Side Sanctuary. The hosts were very friendly and helpful. The house was comfortable and spacious. It had a great location, on Hamlin lake just outside of the Ludington State Park and close to many other attractions. I highly recommend the South Side Sanctuary for your next Ludington visit.

Summary: We had a wonderful stay. We had our children and grandchildren come during the stay. It was great location for all ages. The nearby State park and closeness to Lake Michigan beaches for play and sunsets was perfect for the older kids. Hamlin lake where our lovely house was located was perfect for the smaller kids to swim and play. Fishing was fun on the lake for our fisher folk. Our hosts were absolutely wonderful and helpful during our stay. They are there on weekends in their upstairs residence but we didn’t find them intrusive and they were lovely to visit with. We had at different times just 4 adults and 2-4 children there each week. Our accommodations were spacious. With only one bathroom we just had to be creative but we didn’t find it a problem as we were all family. The kitchen was well equipped as we all cook….I always travel with my own knife. Ludington is close by and we had fun adventures exploring there. Shuffleboard in the park was fun for all ages. We played golf on a great course 5 min away and tennis and pickleball in town. It was a wonderful getaway and hope to return.

Summary: This property worked perfectly for our family of 6 adults and two young children. We enjoyed both the proximity to the State Park beaches and Hamlin Lake right outside the door. The host was very helpful both before and during our stay. Everything we needed to enjoy a beach vacation was here.

Summary: We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and took advantage of all that was offered, inside and out. An added bonus was the close proximity to the hidden lake across the road. The Petzol dots are very helpful and those cinnamon rolls were delish! Thanks for sharing your little piece of paradise.

Summary: The Petzolds were excellent hosts, sharing their recommendations for things to do in the area and even bringing us cinnamon rolls for breakfast one day! The rental unit had everything we needed to be comfortable. The view is beautiful on the water. It's close to town but in such a nice, quiet area. We were in town for a wedding, so unfortunately didn't get to use all the outdoor amenities, but we'd definitely stay here again!

Summary: We really enjoyed our stay . The home and yard were beautiful with a great view of Lake Hamlin. The location was ideal as it was close to Ludington Stat Park (best State Park we have seen) and close to town as well. Tom and his wife and family were all very nice and helpful. We would reccomend it to anyone.
