House Details

Kitchen
The Kitchen is fully equipped with a full-sized range, refrigerator and microwave, coffeemaker & grinder, and toaster. There are full sets of cookware and utensils, dishes, glasses and flatware. We provide paper towels, coffee filters, and paper napkins. Condiments, other paper products, and food are hit and miss as left behind by other guests. Trash should be separated for recycling. The trash pickup is on Monday, so the recycling bin and outdoor garbage can will be out by the mailbox. It can be windy: be sure the trash can lid is secure. A description of recyclables is in the entry porch.

Living/Dining room
Vintage Ficks-Reed furniture and antique oak dining table compliment the main room of this charming house. There are lovely oak floors throughout the house. The living area is equipped with a small TV/DVD, stereo with CD player, and telephone 231- 843-7135 (local calls and credit card calls only.)

Bathroom
The bathroom is equipped with a tub/shower combination. There are no laundry facilities at the cottage. We will supply 4 sets of towels (bath/hand/face), not to be used on the beach. You must bring your own beach towels.

2 Bedrooms
The east bedroom has 2 double beds; the west bedroom has 1 queen-sized bed. We provide a full set of sheets, blankets and 2 pillows per bed. When departing, please strip the beds.

Sun porch
The enclosed/screened porch that lines the lakeside of the house is where most people spend their indoor hours. It has comfortable seating and a table for 6 and shelves of books and indoor/outdoor games. Enjoy!

Outdoors
There is lovely large yard with plenty of outdoor furniture and a table for eating. We have a charcoal grill with newspaper startercan and utensils. There may not be any charcoal, so you may want to bring some with you. Our new stairs to the beach
provide easy access to our 125’ of private beach. You will want to bring beach chairs and any toys, etc that you use on the beach.
Especially for bird-lovers - We have plenty of bird feeders strategically placed for optimal bird-watching! Depending on water levels, there are usually about three miles of walkable beach from the Ludington channel to the Pump Storage Facility. With limited public access to the area, the beach is quiet and secluded. A public boat ramp is half a mile north on Lakeshore (behind the Pere Marquette monument).

Nearby
About 10 minutes north on Pere Marquette Road is a large well-stocked supermarket, and the fabulous Orchard Market for produce. Other stores (Meijers, Wal-Mart, etc.) are along route 10. Downtown Ludington has shops and restaurants. We especially like Lucianos for great Italian food and pizza. To the south, Pentwater is also a lovely town. Check the drawer in the
kitchen table for more local information. And drive carefully at dusk, the deer are plentiful.
