Spent the day in Ludington seeing the various sights and shops. Waiting for the SS Badger car ferry to take us across Lake Michigan. We were able to stay in the room above the office which offered a deck area with a deck table and chairs. Comfortable and enjoyable in watching the sun set over Lake Michigan. Coffee make in the room was a nice benefit. Our family enjoys a great cup of coffee, and while the coffee they provide is okay - we ended up getting some better coffee. It was great. This room is the closest to the road, which did seem to be a bit noisy at times due to traffic. But it wasn't that bad at all. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We checked out the indoor pool, but never used it since it was nice, sunny, and warm during our stay - and we were able to enjoy Lake Michigan. The room was clean, everything worked, and we appreciated the clean and fresh smell and atmosphere. Beds were comfortable and we really enjoyed our visit. If we ever end up in Ludington again, I will be quick to revisit this place. I highly recommend this to anyone with a family.

My biggest problem with this place is that the beds were very clearly not cleaned. There was hair…read moreall over the beds and underneath the sheets before we had gotten in them.

They are fully equipped for cooking your own meals but there is also an amazing restaurant on the property. Our cabin was named Sunrise and the first morning I happened to wake up in time to enjoy the kitchen suddenly become flooded with a bright yellow glow! The cabin was very spacious, with a good sized living room, nice big shower and plenty of space around every side of the king sized bed. It was situated with lovely views of the lake from two sides of the cabin. They have pontoons available to rent and though I have been to Hamlin Lake many times over the years, I had never enjoyed being out on the water in a boat. It was a real treat! The whole resort was well maintained and in top notch condition.

We had just taken the ferry from Manitowoc, WI and landed safely in Ludington. I promised my wife…read morethat I would find her a special place to stay for our last two nights of our "vacation with no destination." I jumped on The Yelp while we were waiting on our car to be driven off the ferry and one of the first places that popped up was this, what appeared to be lovely, Bed and Breakfast, The Inn Bed and Breakfast of Ludington. I placed a quick call, they had availability and Kathy, the Inn Keeper invited us to stop by and take a look - before we said that we would stay. When we arrived about 3 min later, we were welcomed by Kathy with invitations of coffee, crackers and snacks, before we said we would stay. We saw truly lovely furniture and decorations trout the lower level that made us feel like we were back in the early 1900's. We were escorted up the grand staircase to our choice of rooms. (We were there a little off season and it was not busy). Every room we saw was meticulously decorated and had our own air conditioning controls. We stayed in the "master suite" that had a large wood buring fireplace, that worked, and the section of the house that had a turret. (This was my wires favorite). Every room had its own bathroom, tv (we did not use it much the room was too nice). In the morning when we awoke to the yummy smells of Bacon and eggs being prepared for us and the two other couples that were staying there, we went downstairs and were treated to taste, and enjoy, those yummy smells. We made new friends and talked about all manner of things before we started our excursions for the day. Kathy was a superb hostess and directed us to where to eat and gave us the entire history of her home and how they continue to make the Inn of Ludington better and more enjoyabe, if that is possible. Ludington has a few B&B's, many motels and a few hotels. For the price, location, and most importantly the service, I don't know why anybody would choose to stay anywhere else. Our next trip up to the area will likely involve a stay here.

Makes anybody want to spend a night there. The prices are extremely fair and the people who take care of you at check in are over the top accommodating. We arrived on a motorcycle and the lady who checked us in gave us a bag of clean towels to wile down the bike. If you ride you will appreciate this gesture Rooms are nice and clean have separate shower and tub ( at least room 16 does) Plenty of free parking convenient too downtown and the Badger ferry across lake Michigan This is a great motel too spend an affordable and comfortable nights stay or more as your plans call for while in the Ludington area

Pulled into the parking lot @ 6 on a Saturday night and found it empty. Hmm. The office was dark…read moreand unattended. Started to wonder what we were in for. But, someone came quickly once I rang the bell as the sign told me to, and we were checked in quickly and efficiently. The room was small but clean. The bathroom had been recently refurbished, though the tub drained slowly. Bed was comfy and while the heater was loud it kept us toasty on a chilly October night. My main complaint would be the lighting. The switch by the door turns on a small light over the table. There are lamps you turn on by hand on the chest of drawers and over the bed, but no light over or near the sink outside the bathroom. Not really convenient if you need to shave. Not a bad place if you need to stop for the night (and by morning the parking lot was no longer empty), though if I were here longer I'd probably look for someplace with larger rooms and a few more conveniences.

"Of Coal, Rain, and Quiche: A Ludington Tale" We arrived in…read moreLudington not by car, not by plane, but by coal-fired steamship, like true 19th-century tycoons. The mighty S.S. Badger chugged us across the the Mishigami in a puff of glory and airborne soot, leaving us feeling like industrial-age aristocrats -- if aristocrats wore raincoats from Target and clutched their luggage like damp raccoons. As we disembarked, the skies opened with the enthusiasm of a Shakespearean tragedy. Ludington greeted us with what meteorologists refer to as "a gentle mist" and what the rest of us call "a relentless downpour." Naturally, we had to walk. Uphill. In the rain. To The Lamplighter Bed and Breakfast, which at that point may as well have been the mythical city of El Dorado. Upon arrival -- soggy, windblown, and questioning all life choices -- we were met by Dan and Jen, the B&B hosts who are either actual angels or have taken an advanced course in hospitality sorcery. They didn't flinch at our drowned-rat appearance. Instead, they welcomed us like old friends returning from sea. We half expected a butler to emerge. Our room? A cozy, clean, charming haven complete with a fireplace. We stared at it for twenty minutes like cavemen discovering fire for the first time. It was warm. It crackled. It whispered, "Go get cocoa downstairs." In the morning came breakfast. Let me just say: if Dan and Jen ever start a brunch religion, we're converting. The food was spectacular -- fresh, flavorful, and clearly prepared by someone who has stared into the soul of an egg and understood its purpose. One bite of their homemade goodness and I briefly blacked out from joy. Dan and Jen do not merely run a bed and breakfast. They curate a full journey. You arrive wet and cold. You leave warm, dry, nourished and wondering how much property goes for in Ludington.

Believe me, we will be back for a third stay! Melanie, the owner, is such an amazing host. She goes out of her way to make you feel special. From the moment you walk in to the moment you leave, you will feel like royalty. When we first arrived, she presented us with warm cookies, a beverage of choice, and a small jar of local homemade jam. She then showed us around the place and walked us to our room. Our room was very clean and there were snacks in there also. Although the rooms aren't huge there is plenty of space for sleeping and each room has it's own bathroom and shower. But by far, it's the breakfast and all day sweet treats that please people and bring them back. For breakfast, Melonie makes egg dishes, potatoes, bacon, sausage, and many sweet dishes. She also has a variety of fruit, juices, coffee, and tea available. She takes special requests and is sure to meet any food allergies/tolerances. Melanie also bakes throughout the day. While we were there she provided us with fudge, cookies, dessert bars, lemon squares, cheesecake, and more. There is also a variety of ice cream flavors available in the fridge - serve yourself. To top it off, she has a small refrigerator full of beverages available at all times and she won't want you to leave empty handed. When we checked out, she said be sure to grab a beverage to go! I really don't know how Melanie, Chuck, and Chris manage the place and make all the scrumptious food. On top of that they renovate and keep up their beautiful flower gardens. Check out my photos. If you are anxious about the idea of a bed and breakfast, this is the place for you!! There are many seating areas for eating and you do not have to make small talk with strangers - unless you want to. You pick your time for breakfast and Melanie makes sure everything is ready then. Not only that but she keeps your coffee full with a smile. Thanks for everything, Melanie, Chuck, and Chris. We will be back!

My thought processes was where can I go within driving distance with Bentley(my fur-baby), hike and take in beautiful sunsets on the beach.... After a short search Michigan and Highway 31 Cabins checked ALL the boxes! The airbnb hosts Charlie and Andra were great! They responded within minutes to my messages, gave detailed/easy to understand directions to their location and instructions on how to enter the cabin along with where to park(all very much appreciated!)... the area is super cute, half circle of cabins, complete with a fire pit. Once inside everything looked up just as pictured on their Airbnb site; no surprises. My favorite part was the information binder with "insider/local" tips, love exploring the hidden gems to local areas. Lots of amazing sites to see within a reasonable distance. Pictured below are a few of the places I explored during my stay. I'm not telling you where I went... you'll need to book Highway 31 Cabins for the inside scoop. They put a lot of effort in on mapping out locations(all in the information binder); I'm not just going to give it away... ;) The entire process from booking, checking in and out was seamless; overall a great experience!
