There is a grill if you want to fry up some burgers for lunch as well as a fully stocked kitchen. Evenings can be spent at the firepit where you can roast marshmallows, tell stories and make memories. Going to the beach? Beach towels and chairs are provided. We do have two bikes available, just let me know and I can have those ready for you. If it is a rainy day, snuggle up on the couch with blankets a movie or a good book. Games more your thing, we have those too! Set it up in the living room on the coffee table or dining table and let the competition begin!

Up North Fall weekend

We had a great stay at The Little White Cottage. So nicely decorated and exceptionally clean! Our son loved the little snack options left for us! Great location between the town of Ludington and Ludington State Park. Quick drive to see the sunset, which we enjoyed each night! Also enjoyed the lovely fire pit! Host was quick to reply when we asked for assistance with heat. If we stayed longer than a weekend, we might have found the lack of kitchen counter space more tricky (we eat most our meals in) and the low water pressure in the shower more difficult if trying to get off sand/sunscreen. Would definitely stay again!

Sweet little spot

We had a great stay at the cottage! So clean, very cute, and perfect size for a couple. The house has everything you could possibly think of (or forget) for your stay. We especially appreciated the beach towels! Super close to the lake and a short drive to town. It felt secluded and the area was quiet. We can’t wait to come back!

Great Little White Cottage

This property is well situated, close to Stearns beach, downtown, and the State park/Hamlin lake. It is very cozy and well equipped. The bed was comfortable and the sleeper was reported as comfortable by our 5 and 7 year old kids. We love visiting Ludington and this relaxing place added to the fun we had, making everything easy.

Peaceful Little Spot Outside Ludington

We really enjoyed our stay here! The space is very cute with all sorts of great design touches. We had two little ones with us (2 and under) and there was enough space to fit both portable cribs in the bedroom. The kitchen and bathroom were small but had everything we needed. The host was very friendly and prompt in all communication. I would absolutely rent this place again, but a few things I wish I would have known first with kids: The only way to get into the unit is down a few metal grid stairs. Totally easy for adults but a little tricky for young kids/strollers. The front living room has no curtains or shades so there isn’t too much privacy anywhere but the bedroom/bathroom and in the summer the it gets light very early. The unit also does not have any A/C. We were able to stay pretty cool with the fans running but this is just something to keep in mind if you need to sleep cold. Ultimately we really enjoyed this spot! We think you would like it too!

Celebrating first weekend of retirement

This very sweet cottage was perfect for our weekend get away. It is cozy, well decorated, and comfortable. The only issue we had was the bed was pretty uncomfortable and my husband slept on the couch the 2nd night as a result.

Mom Weekend Out

This cottage was everything we needed for a beautiful weekend of relaxation and to recharge our batteries. We celebrated a birthday and the homeowner even left a couple birthday cupcakes in the fridge for us as a check-in surprise. The attention to detail here was perfection, the cottage is so cozy and comfy. Everything was clean, gorgeous decor, and such a nice outdoor area for morning coffee and late night adult beverages. The proximity to the beach and downtown area was amazing, just about anything was within a 10 minute drive. We cannot wait to come back again! Thank you so much!! :)

Little White Cottage

This was a perfect size and location for us. Absolutely spotless (makes me want to clean MY house) with everything needed appliance-wise and for throwing together a quick dinner. Very quiet neighborhood which was important for us given we like to be largely disconnected, enjoying some peaceful reading and "being" time. The only issue we had was with the comfort of the mattress which we had issues with but that's subjective. Very definitely would rent again.

Nice little place

We had a nice stay at this cottage. Quiet location in a wooded area was peaceful, but it was just a short ride to the state park and to Stearns Beach/Downtown Ludington. Hosts were very communicative, kept us informed of issues and the place was clean and well appointed.

Lovely stay, quaint cottage. Patio setup lovely to enjoy outdoors in the shade. Even though no AC, didn't need it; the couple of fans worked great at circulating air. A few minutes away from the beaches, Ludington, and state park.

Cozy it was

First, the host was very responsive with all communications. The cottage was very tranquil and cozy. We sat by the fire pit and read. We wandered over to Big Sable. This was a battery recharge and the Cozy Cottage hit the spot.

About the host

Hosted by Andrea

Host profile image
Hi - I'm Andrea and welcome to The Little White Cottage! We have lived in the Ludington area for 20+ years and love all it has to offer. Charming downtown with quaint shops, beautiful beach, sunsets, boating, the Ludington State Park and so much more. Although we are not originally from here, moving here was like moving back home.

Why they chose this property

We purchased this little gem for its quaintness and 1940's charm. It has a relaxing atmosphere where you can sit on the porch and enjoy the summer afternoon breeze or an evening by the firepit to roast some smore's and have great conversation.

What makes this property unique

We renovated this cottage in the Fall of 2021 while keeping the 1940's charm along with modern updates. And of course, our main goal is to make cozy and comfortable for our guests!
