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.

This is a thoughtfully renovated classic motel. Breakfast was very good, out performing other hotels on our journey. Only problem was the noisy air conditioning unit.

I've stayed here many times, and I keep going back. Clean rooms, great breakfasts, friendly and helpful staff. I feel very much at home here. And, if you're taking the ferry to Wisconsin, it's close and breakfast is served early enough to accommodate travelers leaving that early.

We are so very impressed with Summer's End Inn. It is a very short walk from downtown Ludington. We had a picnic dinner and played games in the garden. The sound of the water flowing into the coy pond was so relaxing.

This was my second stay at Summers Inn. It was just as nice the second time as it was the first. Only difference was this time it was more expensive most likely due to Labor Day weekend. While it is a very quaint spot and good walking distance from town I’m not sure I’d pay a hefty price for it again.

It's a excellent place for adults as we have stayed here multiple times and will again. My only complaint is that the pillows in our room were hard and flat. We'll bring our own next time just in case.

The secret garden with the koi pond was nice and the breakfast was great. Unfortunately the window treatments did NOTHING to block out the light from the parking lot nor the headlights.
