"Breakfast unfortunately was not our cup of tea since it was all very Asian based food. It would be great to have other more normal breakfast options as well. And also it would be nice to know ahead of time what they are serving so we could have made a choice to go or not and not waste the food. Only complaint, everything else was absolutely wonderful!!! We really enjoyed the fire pit and Carson!"

Tucked along Lake Michigan's eastern shore, Free Soil offers peaceful hiking trails through Manistee National Forest and fishing spots at nearby Big Sauble River. Families can enjoy summer berry picking at local farms or take a short drive to Ludington State Park for swimming and lighthouse tours.
We only stayed one night, as we were catching the Badger ferry early the next morning.
Everything at the property was great,
Lovely room and bathroom, and our hosts were so nice.

The Ludington House is old, swanky, and incredibly classy! Be advused that the house has no built-in AC. We were there during a freak heatwave, which made the rooms a little uncomfortable, though the staff provided us with air conditioners in the rooms. The whole building is a marvellous example of late 19th Centruy design, with lots of interesting and quirky rooms! The owners of the House were very friendly and accommodating, and also made us some of the best breakfasts that either of us ever...

A brilliant place to stay, very friendly staff and a brilliant breakfast. We took the attic room
as a family of 4 and it was just what we needed as a stop as part of a road trip.
