What a charming old house to be able to enjoy for an evening. The upstairs fit the whole family and breakfast in the morning was wonderful! We felt like royalty in a castle, sleeping in the turret, and the little touches, attention to detail everywhere, and friendly staff were all just incredible. For our next trip to Ludington, we will definitely be checking here first to see if there's room at the Inn!

Probably the cleanest, most well organized unique place we've ever stayed in. We arrived late and left before breakfast service to catch the ferry, but staff was super responsive over text. It took me a second to realize the coffee for the coffee maker was in a lovely little glass jar and was probably the best in-room coffee I've had in the US. Also really loved the Roku TVs. Hope to be back at a time when we can enjoy the rest of the property.

The inn was full of old world charm. We enjoyed the spacious room #2 with king sized bed and newly remodeled bathroom. Using the fireplace created a cozy atmosphere. The room was very clean and comfortable. The staff was very friendly. The breakfast was plentiful and delicious. Parking is conveniently located just outside by the yard area, which looked so nice, but did not get to experience, due to weather. Thank you for the wonderful accommodations! We hope to return!

Our stay at The Fresh Coast Inn was excellent. The space was clean and cozy with a lot of thoughtful touches. You can tell the owners care about making it a good experience. It’s in a great spot close to downtown Ludington and the beach. Communication was smooth, check-in was simple, and breakfast was awesome. We would definitely stay again.

Convenient to the Lake Michigan Car ferry. We missed breakfast as we were leaving early to catch the ferry, but a continental breakfast was provided - boiled eggs, cheese, yogurt and an assortment of cold cereal and oatmeal as well as coffee and tea. Our room was comfortable enough with a small private bath. Off street parking was provided. If you like to sleep in dark rooms bring your eye mask. Street lights keep the room rather bright all night. Overall a good option.
