Our stay at Summers Inn in Ludington was great! The rooms were exceptionally clean and welcoming. The staff was very friendly and accommodating, and the garden space in the back was very relaxing. Breakfast each morning was wonderful, especially the quiche…delicious! Although the bathroom was a bit small, the rooms were great.

We could bike anywhere we wanted from this property-to mountain bike trails, to Ludington State Park and beaches, to downtown and to Buttersville Peninsula. We also liked that it was at the beginning of the historical homes walking route. The beds were very comfortable and the surrounding gardens, koi pond and library were a nice feature.
