2nd Stay here just as perfect as the first!

Great family home for the teens, kids, and pets! We walked everywhere and enjoyed the dining and beach trips. We drove to kayak at nearby parks; played disc golf at several courses; visited nearby cities, too. Wish we could have spent another week as everything was perfect. We will definitely stay here again!!

Ludington getaway.

This house has everything you need for a getaway. Walking distance to downtown Ludington, the park and the beach. We especially liked the fenced in backyard so our dog didn’t have to be tied up. Enjoyed the fire pit.

A wonderful place to stay!

We truly loved this home, and everything about it. It was super clean and comfortable, and had everything we could possibly need. To be able to stay somewhere like this with our two fur babies means so much to us. The location is great, in a peaceful neighborhood and close to everything. We can't wait to return to A Place For Paws the next time we are in Ludington! Thank you for such a nice place to stay!

Ludington getaway

Good location, house was an older house which I liked. 6 and 9 yo grandchildren with us, perfect for the four of us. Nice back yard, fire pit, quiet neighborhood. Nice to walk to beach and to get ice cream. Everything was clean, no smell of pets. Thank you for letting us use your house!

Pawfection

We stay at Vrbo homes regularly and we truly enjoyed our stay here! The location is perfect! The home is well stocked for those who cook at home. The accommodations were very comfortable and perfect for 4 adults 2 kids (13 & 16) and a dog. We loved how welcome they make you feel with a pet. We enjoyed the backyard for a fire pit and cornhole, as well as the front porch during quick rain spouts.

Millie Mae

We stayed at the property to celebrate my wife’s birthday. The kids enjoyed their first vacation with Millie, our Golden Doodle, who felt at home staying here. The home was well appointed for humans and pets where we felt comfortable both inside and outside. The property was walking distance to town and the beach.

Great Place!

The property was awesome. Very close to downtown and the water. Had great 'hangout spaces' within the home and also out back near the firepit. They provided a firestarter and pack of logs -- THANK YOU!! -- for us to use while we stayed. It was very clean and had very clear instructions of how to be a good citizen while staying. Thanks for letting us stay in your awesome property

Great house in perfect location

I can’t say enough positive things about this property. It’s a charming and comfortable historic home a short walk from the city beach, the marinas, and all the shopping and dining Ludington has to offer. I have to say this was also the best appointed private rental we’ve ever experienced. Anything we needed was there (and that includes dog stuff)! Speaking of dogs: The backyard is fully fenced and very secure. You might just want to keep an eye on high jumpers.

Love staying at this house

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is our second year staying here. I can’t say enough good things about the cleanliness, comfort, amenities, and location of this home. It’s a wonderful house/place for us and our two Golden Retrievers, in a quiet neighborhood with a great vibe. Some nice updates to the bathrooms since our last visit too. It has everything we need, feels like home, and is close to everything in town and the lake. Nikki is one of the best property managers I have ever worked with. Once again, we cannot wait to come back!
