Spring Fishing Trip

This has been the perfect spot for our first fishing trip of the year. The house is very clean and has everything we need for a comfortable stay. Having a dock to park the boat is extremely convenient as well. I would highly recommend Lucy's Loft to anyone looking to explore the Ludington/Hamlin Lake area.

Lucy's Loft

We had a very positive experience staying at Lucy's Loft. The owner Joyce was very welcoming. She even baked us some cookies when we arrived. The property was very clean and inviting. Plenty of space for a family. The property was conveniently located to both Hamlin Lake, Ludington and Lake Michigan. We also enjoyed having a firepit to use if we wanted to. All in all, it was very nice to stay. We would definitely like to stay here again the next time we around the Ludingtopn area.

Perfect place for a weekend getaway!

This is our 2nd time staying at Lucy’s Loft and we love it. It’s clean, comfortable, and Joyce is so easy & nice to work with. The location is perfect for access to downtown Ludington, shopping, parks, and the beach. We tried some new restaurants this time that we enjoyed but it’s also nice to have a place to make some of our own food if we like. We’ll definitely be back to Lucy’s Loft!

Quaint little cozy cottage that I'd stay in over & over!

It was a very memorable time that really gave me & my family the break we needed. The cottage was great to be at in it's own little spot with fishing off the docks or a fire pit for a fire if u got the time. Would definitely recommend it to anybody for a nice quiet vacation. The owners seem like really nice people who also try to make you feel right at home. Wonderful place to go!
