1 Bedroom Cottage in Free Soil

Come enjoy our cottage nestled in the Manistee National Forest on the north shore, sunny side, of upper Hamlin Lake. The cottage has well maintained furnishings and is very neat, CLEAN and disinfected between guests. You will enjoy a panoramic view of the entire upper lake and awesome sunsets over the dunes right from shore. Docks come out mid September, but you can tie to breakwall. Ice fishing is great right out in front of the cottage. Snowmobiling out your back door is also possible. Skiing, hiking, wine tasting, wildlife viewing and other fun activities are waiting just for you! There is also a lakeside firepit for your enjoyment on those cold winter nights and lots of stars to see. Lake Michigan is minutes away for even more fall and wintertime adventures. Or, for those who like more physical activity, bring your cross-country skis or snowshoes for the miles of trails in the National Forest. NO PETS. NO CHILDREN UNDER 16 YEARS OF AGE. If you would like or are ready for peaceful, quiet surroundings, this is the place for you. It is so quiet here in the winter, you can hear the snow landing on your head! This cottage sleeps 3, who are at least 16 years old, and is fully equipped for your every need. It all awaits you at The Shadows on Hamlin Lake. We live on the property, adjacent to this cottage which is approximately 200 feet from the waters edge. We keep the driveway plowed, but due to the hills coming down to the cottage, you may need four wheel or all wheel drive during winter months.

Summary: The property was exactly as described. The location is kinda secluded, so "running to town" is a little bit of a distance. The property owners were wonderful. They communicated extremely well and were helpful with many things. The fishing was decent. To bad we couldn't control the weather.
Amy F. Jun 10, 2025 11:48:30 PM
Summary: We were thoroughly impressed by the property's private location in the woods, offering a beautiful view of the lake. The hosts were incredibly friendly and responsive. We highly recommend this property and intend to book again in the future.

Thomas P. Apr 28, 2025 03:34:01 AM
Summary: Was just a weekend trip I have no complaints
Noel H. Apr 7, 2025 05:16:47 AM
Summary: Charming 1-bedroom, 1-bath rustic apartment-style cabin—perfect for a solo getaway or a couple’s retreat. The space is clean, cozy, and simply furnished, with comfortable seating and a relaxing atmosphere. The private balcony offers a lovely view of the lake, making it an ideal spot for morning coffee or a quiet evening.The kitchen comes stocked with essential cookware, dishes, and glassware, but you’ll need to bring all your own ingredients aside from salt and pepper. The bathroom is spacious, though the shower itself is on the smaller side. Note that the rental is not handicap accessible.The location is fantastic—just a 5-minute drive and 30-minute hike to the dunes and beach. The nearby national forest adds to the peaceful, nature-filled experience. The host was extremely communicative and helpful, always available when needed but respectful of privacy. Firewood isn’t provided, so be sure to bring your own if you plan on enjoying the fire pit.Overall, a quiet and scenic escape for one or two guests. Highly recommended—I’ll definitely be booking again.

Summary: This was an absolutely beautiful stay! Wish the weather has been better but the cottage and setting were stunning. No detail forgotten. There was even a cart available to gather firewood from the property. These hosts are A+

Summary: Very nice house. Super clean and had everything we needed. Love the lake view! It was very cool to see 2 foxes the first morning. The sunset was beautiful as well.
Angel T. Sep 22, 2024 07:50:17 AM
Summary: Nestled in the woods, but the cottage itself self has a beautiful view of the lake. Our nightly bonfires with the sun setting off the water was amazing. The property owner was very attentive and informative. My boyfriend and I look forward to returning soon.
Mike P. Sep 9, 2024 11:10:38 AM
Summary: My wife and I both thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The property is perfect for a quiet weekend getaway. The sunsets over Lake Hamlin were gorgeous. You can also easily spend time in downtown Ludington or visit the state park easily. Both are only a short drive away
