Great place to bring your loved one to relax!
As soon as we booked, we got a phone call to confirm our travels and check for dietary restrictions which I do have so I appreciated that. We got offered a complimentary upgrade for our room and it was so beautiful and cozy! The whole property was beautiful and decorated so nice for the holidays. Water and chocolates and coffee in our room along with robes. A fireplace added just a nice cozy touch! The breakfast was amazing and we will definitely be back to bring my in laws!

Jenna and Chris give you the 5-star treatment. It starts before you arrive and continues throughout your stay. Our room was amazing and the location just makes it better.
The breakfast was gourmet, with a variety that you would not expect.
We will definitely stay here again next time we head to Ludington.

Quick getaway to Ludington - Cartier Mansion
We did a quick midweek escape to Ludington and loved our stay at the Cartier Mansion. The building is a 1905 gem and the owners, Jenna and Chris do a lovely job of keeping the property in top shape. Nice breakfast and some really nice dining options in Ludington. The town has a number of terrific Victorian homes that make for nice walks in town. When you go, try to catch the lighthouse at Ludington State Park, a short drive north of town. We will definitely return. Nice job Jenna and Chris!

Beautiful property, but if you are looking for the "personal" B&B touch, this may not be the property for you. Owners seemed too busy to offer that personal touch, as there are several rooms here. Breakfast was wonderful.
