"Exceptional" quiet/rustic cottage on Hamlin Lake near Ludington! Perfect for kids-of-all-ages who like the outdoors.
'Falconhurst' was the name the Swiss Family Robinson gave to their home in the trees . . . an overlook that served as a home base for adventures. Our cottage is on a bluff amongst the shade on the west shore of Hamlin Lake. Below the bluff is one of the few true beaches on the lake, where the shallow water, unencumbered by a breakwater, gently gets deeper over a long distance at a gradual pace. If you like to frolic and play in the water (or learn to swim), this is the place! 4 kayaks and 2 SUP's are on the semi-private beach for further adventures, Behind the cottage, just west, is one of the highest sand dunes in the region of the Nordhouse Dunes and Ludington State Park. Kids of all ages LOVE the run down - and differ on the climb up! ;-)
Most of the western shore of Hamlin Lake is part of the state park. Indeed, it is across the street and one can hike to the lake's dam in about 30-40 minutes. . . .it is a quiet area yet remarkably close to Ludington for a rainy-day movie or a sundae at the House of Flavors.
There are three Bedrooms, The front room overlooking the lake has a queen. BR #2 has two singles, and BR #3 has bunks. An extra 'roll-a-way' and a couple of cots are in the closet. The Living Room leather sofa is a full-size-bed foldout. . A large deck on the front provides a shaded/relaxing place to overlook the lake. The screened porch is another place to relax and there is a porch swing where, as kids, we spent many hours.
Amenities include Internet TV with your streaming service, a coffee pot, dishwasher, and microwave . . .as well as a stove and oven of course. The living room area has a couch, a fireplace, and dining table for 6-8. Still, the major advantage is the relative solitude near the lake, the semi-private beach, and state park. Laundry room with washer and dryer is in the basement. Yes! there is a pier on the beach for those with a boat. (LEFT side looking out east)
Falconhurst is a rustic cottage on a hill overlooking the lake. If you have trouble with stairs, Falconhurst, is probably not a good choice. Falconhurst is a terrific choice for families with school or pre-school age children. It is a cottage on a lake NEXT to the sand dunes with great hikes not far from the door so Falconhurst is favored by active outdoorsy families or couples or those who just want some quiet and want to wake up to the sound of waves on the beach. Please carefully review the sleeping options/arrangements to make sure it is a good fit for your party.
Also, Falconhurst is on a bluff not far from the cooling influence of Lake Michigan. We seldom wish we had air conditioning. Like most cottages on our side of the lake, there is no electric A/C. Fans are provided and, again, seldom needed. This is an old-school cabin with many updates.
Located in Ludington, this vacation home is on the beach. North Breakwater Light and Big Sable Point Lighthouse are local landmarks, and the area's natural beauty can be seen at Lake Michigan and Ludington State Park. Port of Ludington Maritime Museum and Ludington Waterfront Park are also worth visiting. Jet skiing and water skiing offer great chances to get out on the surrounding water, or you can seek out an adventure with hiking and hunting nearby.
