Wonderful B&B experience
Beautiful B&B with very congenial, welcoming hosts. Room (the Cassatt room) was small but comfortable and nicely decorated as pictured on the web site. Everything was clean and well-maintained. Room was well-lit with comfortable bed and pillows. No refrigerator but a refrigerator was available outside the room. Coffee, tea and snacks available at all times in the dining room. Delicious breakfast prepared and served on the patio by the host. The Inn was located in a quiet residential area.
Wonderful B&B experience; I would definitely stay here again.

we had a very relaxing and wonderful stay at the lamplighter. The inn is beautiful clean and quiet. It is located so close to town and beaches. Dan and Jen were warm and welcoming the moment we walked in. We stayed there for two nights. The homemade breakfast was superb. They also have tea, coffee and cookies for guests 24 hrs. It is a perfect place to stay when you visit Ludington. You won't disappointed. Thank you, Dan and Jen for letting us to stayed in your beautiful home.
