an old resort on the lake, well kept and amazingly well maintained by the couple who own it. My visit was the last week of the season, and so it was rainy and a bit dreary.. Perfect! raining the first day, cloudy the second and sunny the third! I took a sound bar to play music and a couple iPads which kept us completely entertained, and even though wireless was offered, we used my phone services for data with no problems. If I can come back I will, and their knowledge of the area was invaluable since I was here as a little kid.. I remembered some things and some were changed or gone, as they often are. the State Park is a few miles away, and the lighthouse (restored) is one of the hikes nearby.. Because it was a bit chilly, I would have a fan next time, since it would be nice in summer, it would have spread the heat from the heater in the middle of the living room.
Family visits yearly and it's a great place for all our reunion shenanigans. Pontoon boats available for rental along with other amenities including fire pits, grills, volley ball net, etc. Cabins could do with a little better maintenance as we did hear of some issues, but we had multiple units in use and heard of no major foreseeable problems. Although my immediate family did not stay this time we hope to have one for next year.
Very pleasant stay, we enjoyed the proximity to the state park and being able to fish from the property. My only recommendation is to bring some bottled water, the tap water is fine for washing, etc. I found it unpleasant to drink, make coffee or tea.
Nice view of the lake from our cabin. They have kitchens with a stove, pots and pans, and a full sized refrigerator. The owner was nice and very accommodating. They have boats for rent and the lake is big. Not far from the Ludington state park.
Have not stayed yet but reserved. Very friendly and helpful couple, let us tour the grounds and rooms. Looking forward to our Lafe front cotage.
We stayed May 18 left May 20th we were there for the motorcycle rally. What a great place to stay the only thing I didn't like was the WiFi wasn't that good. But all in all a great place to stay will highly recommend.
Just spent memorial weekend here with my fiance and some friends. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a cozy place to stay while in Ludington. Perfect location less than 5 minutes away from Lake Michigan and Ludington State Park. Only a 10 minute drive away from downtown Ludington. The cottages are a little dated but the kitchen comed stocked with everything you need to make your meals, which is nice. There wasn't a TV in our cabin which really wasn't an issue as we were out adventuring most of our stay. Also really appreciate that they were pet friendly, it was great to be able to bring our dog along on our adventures with us.
Our second year, and we love it. This will be an annual vacation. Perfect place to take my family. Grandchildren loved it, too. We stayed in a cottage. Looking out a window to see the lake is amazing. Bonnie and Mark are very nice and helpful. I would highly recommend Peaceful Acres Resort. Beautiful!
