The Fresh Coast Inn at Ludington

We love this bed and breakfast so much that we’ve kept coming back year after year! The hotel and rooms are beautiful, the breakfasts are yummy and filling, the staff is kind, everything is clean and cozy, and it’s located only 1/2 a mile from downtown! We especially appreciated that last fact this past weekend when we ended up being without a car due to a crash, and we were able to still finish off our vacation with some fun times by spending the day walking to the beach and downtown no problem. The Fresh Coast Inn has kept their prices VERY reasonable, allowing us to come back again and again for weekend trips. We’ve stayed off-season in December too for even lower rates, plus beautiful Christmas decor! The hotel offers beautiful vintage vibes + all the modern accommodations, like temperature control, fridge, tv, etc. We always look forward to playing Mario Kart (my husband plugs his Nintendo into the large tv) before bed! Also some of our favorites places to visit in Ludington while we’ve stayed at this hotel are Stearns Park, The Ludington Lighthouse, Big Sable Lighthouse, ALL the galleries including My Happy Place and Rod and Brad Reed Photography, Backstage Games, Sister Bees, HumaniTea, House of Flavors (ice cream flights!), and more!

The breakfast was absolutely delicious and provided a wide variety of items. The best part of my stay was the outstanding service provided by the woman who greeted me at check-in. She was very helpful, kind and accommodating. She even helped push me out of a stuck in the snow situation in the parking area. I don’t recall her name unfortunately. She’s an outstanding employee!

The home was beautifully decorated with vintage items and the rooms were clean and comfortable, but what stood out the most was the wonderful staff and the excellent breakfast!!

We stayed in the attic of this quaint old home with a group of 6 people. The room could accommodate us all comfortably and the breakfast was large and delicious. We felt like we were having a sleepover at grandmas house all tucked in little corners of the attic. There is no typical front desk so we were greeted by a note with all our instructions included. We were also able to have breakfast delivered up to our room on trays which made all the teenagers happy they could sleep in a little longer. Ludington beach is just down the road and the perfect place for a sunset picnic dinner.

What a fantastic location so close to downtown and Stearns Park in a neighborhood full of spectacular homes! The breakfast was just amazing as advertised, my kiddos and I were beyond ourselves with the delicious cuisine, tailored for us with generous portions. The anytime snacks and beverages was an extra bonus and the vibe was so cozy as the house, our suite and the garden are just so beautiful. We didn't want to leave we were just so cozy and the rainfall showerhead and stream room was perfect to relax after a day on the big lake. We are already planning our next trip and will stay again without a doubt!
