Ice fishing getaway

This property was great for a group of friends for a weekend of ice fishing. The property was very nice and the house fit our needs perfectly! The host was easy to communicate with! The only thing that would have made it better was if the hot tub was available during the winter!!

Excellent Getaway!

We had a wonderful time staying at this beautiful house and property! The pool was everything we wanted and more, the hot tub was an excellent place to soak and enjoy the view of the lake. The house was beautifully decorated and very clean, beds were comfortable too! The house was nice and centerally located, we were able to get out and enjoy a couple rounds of disc golf, went to the beach, and enjoyed Stix! The host was incredibly understanding and easy to communicate with, she made the whole process easy. All in all, it was a wonderful time and we are so thankful we had a beautiful place to enjoy our vacation!

Wonderful accommodations

We absolutely loved staying in this home! It was very clean and cozy and had just the right amount of space, full bathrooms, and sleeping accommodations for our large group!. The pool and hot tub was an added bonus and our kids enjoyed swimming everyday! The location is perfect and there is plenty of parking for cars and boat trailers. We look forward to staying in this home again next year!

Perfect getaway

Property was well equipt with all our needs! Added bonus for the ice maker! Brooke was a great host and went above and beyond for our family. We came up to celebrate our parents 50th wedding anniversary and it was plenty big enough for all 10 of us adults! Cottage is located on a quiet dead end road. Beautiful view of the lake. Not far from beaches or town. Sunset at Sterns beach was amazing! If you're looking for a little day trip, I highly recommend driving m22 up to sleeping bear dunes, glen arbor and leland. The drive is amazing itself! We would definitely stay again!

Great for a family weekend!

We enjoyed staying here. It's a really cute house with a very well-equipped kitchen and plenty of bathrooms and towels. The pool was lovely, as was the hot tub. Really appreciated the ice machine and all the drink cooler space. We used the grill, oven, and dishwasher, which all worked great. Enjoyed the fire pit on the deck and also the kayaks. There were quite a few games and things to pass the time during the Sunday morning rain. The only problem we had was the extremely limited parking, so do try to carpool as much as possible. This was a lovely home and we thank you for sharing it with us!

Great Stay!

We had an awesome time at this gem on Hamlin Lake. The pool, the location, the fishing, and the owners responsiveness to any questions or needs were all great. The neighbors on one side apparently do not appreciate people driving down their portion of the road, but other than that, everything was excellent! We would definitely come back!

2024 Family vacation

Host was responsive to every text sent. The property was as we had expected. We enjoyed the pool and hot tub. This property does not have a beach, but the kids had a blast catching fish off the pontoon boat we anchored to the seawall. There were fruit flies in abundance when we arrived (maybe due to the fruit tree out front of the cottage?), but for us it did not detract from the time we had on Hamlin Lake! Thanks, Brooke! We'd love to come visit, again!

Perfect for Family of 3 generations

We loved our week at Hamlin Lake! The swimming pool sold us when we booked 12 months ago. And we used it every day. Loved having kayaks. Hot tub was a bonus. Enjoyed meals on both lakefront deck and street side patio. Perfect for our family of 11. We definitely would return!

Plenty of space and a great view

We stayed a week at this property and enjoyed it! Brooke was incredibly kind and responsive. About a 15 min drive into downtown Ludington. Our week was unseasonably cold (in the 50s) and cloudy so we didn’t take full advantage of the pool/lake, but saw many out on Hamlin lake braving the chilly weather for successful fishing. House was clean and very well stocked. Beautiful hikes nearby at Ludington State Park and Manistee National Forest.

Hamlin Lake Fun

The home was very nice with an updated kitchen and baths. The inground pool,hot tub, and kayaks were a great addition to this vacation home with a wonderful location right on beautiful Hamlin Lake. One of the 6 bedrooms is very small . . .more like a large closet. The air conditioning consists of one unit in one window. The downstairs could get pretty hot at times. Brooke was great to work with! She was responsive and on top of any questions and issues that came up. We would love to come back again.

Family vaction

We had some issues with our stay. There was only one TV that we could get to work and the channel selection wasn't very good. The internet was terrible. We had to keep resetting the router. We weren't able to use the pool the first 3 days that we were there because the pool cover was not working. The pool was one of the reasons that we picked this rental. There should be more than one trash container. We filled it up and then had to fill it up again after the trash was picked up. There were several that were able to fish and enjoyed the fishing. It was good to spend time with family.

Very disappointed

The area was great, but the house itself was terrible. It was very dirty; dust and spiderwebs everywhere along with stains on the sheets, towels, carpets, and covers. We had to go out and buy new sheets, towels, and slippers because everything was old and filthy. They advertise that there is 6 bedrooms but in reality there’s only 4 because 2 of them are the size of walk-in closets with no fresh air. We had to waste a lot of our vacation time cleaning the house and shovelling snow preventing us from parking and accessing the grill. They advertise several amenities such as the fireplace and hot tub but then, after arriving, we received a list of rules stating that we cannot use them. The checkout time in the house rules was earlier than listed on Vrbo. On top of this, the owner tried to blame us for her unkept house.
