If you are looking for a stunningly beautiful place where you can find perfect comfort relaxing with a good book all day or out on an amazing adventure on the lake, this is your place. Each cabin is unique and comes with it's own history. We stayed in one of the more vintage cabins and found it totally charming and... More

Thanks David, We enjoyed having you at Ludlow's. You have described perfectly our intention of having individual, unique and historic cabins. No two are alike and our goal is to have our guests experiences become part of each cabin's history. Thanks again have a great winter. Paul Ludlow More

Yes, my kids (3 girls) bring it up about once a week, "when do we go back to that place on the island again". I say, "you mean Ludlow's!" and they shout, "YES"! We had a wonderful 5 night getaway with about 20 friends!! There are so many activities to do for all ages. The cabins are comfortable and all... More

My husband and I got engaged at Ludlow's and we've been coming back ever since, now with our two year old daughter. It's a beautiful location, the cabins are modern and comfortable, but without question, what makes it the best is the service.

We stayed in the Dreamcatcher "treehouse," and it certainly was like a dream! It was the perfect vacation getaway for our annual girls getaway! We enjoyed the beautiful views from the four balconies, enjoyed wonderful meals together in the well furnished kitchen ( with a grill just off on that level's balcony), and explored all that the island and Lake...

We stayed at Ludlow's for a week as part of a family reunion. The setting is perfect because they have a variety of cabins to accommodate different living arrangements and the guest popluation is low so you feel you have the island pretty much to yourself. Despite the fact that Ludlow's is nearly always fully booked all summer, they were... More

I've been visiting Ludlow's for one week each year since 1984. A friend and business assiociate introduced me to this wonderful place. In the early years it was a bunch of guys fishing non-stop. For the past ten years or so I've taken the family -- wife's nieces, their husbands, their kids and wife's sister. You just couldn't find a... More

Cabins are great, island is unbelievable. It's just stunning. Can't wait to go back. Will make this a yearly trip. Our son loved it too. Not too big into fishing but it was still just perfect.

Me, my hubby, and our westie like to go to the north shore in the Fall.....this year we had decided to try something different, Lake Vermellion. After some research, we decided on Ludlows. It was beyond our expectations. Like my title says...stunning. Great fishing, beautiful views from the cabin, and total peace and quiet. Lovely....simply lovely. Oscar, our westie, was... More

I have been booking with Ludlow's for may years. The owners are hands on day and night. The staff is professional and courteous as well. Cabins are very comfortable and first rate. I've been just about everywhere, and I keep coming back every year to Ludlow's.
