Waterside Resort & Boat Rental 3298 North Lakeshore Drive, Ludington, MI 49431

"What could've turned into a weekend getaway from hell was very enjoyable thanks to the guys working here. They went way out of their way to accommodate us and help in every way possible. My truck broke down with boat in tow right as we arrived there. Not only were they helpful in trying to diagnose my issues Mike took our boat and launched it for us while we figured out what to do with my truck. The cottage we rented was small but very nice and clean. They literally have everything there you need to include healthy servings of ice cream. We will definitely be back next year! A+ customer service!!"

"Was our first time fishing Hamlin Lake on a boat. Great prices for a fishing boat rental! My dad and I were able to get 4 species and 8 fish in the boat. We had no game plan and was just nice to relax, ended up a total success and learned a lot. Abe was also helpful for us, gave a few pointers and totally made our day. Go fish! Next time we’ll be back and after some giants"

"We love this place! They are very family friendly, kind and courteous. The boat rental service is reasonably priced and the boats are very well cared for. The renovations that have been made to the rooms and the store are so refreshing too! We will definitely be going back."

"We rented two different pontoons on two separate days and each time the experience was great! The boats were clean and in good working order. Brian, Mike and Liz were professional and friendly. Brian was very thorough in his safety check. Also, they are the only marina on lower Hamlin which sells gas for the boat. We will definitely rent from them again."

"We had a great experience renting a boat from here! My family and I planned our boat ride at the last minute and they were able to accommodate! They hooked us up with a great running boat, poles, bait and tackle! This was our first time visiting Hamlin Lake and it was very beautiful! We had some tasty ice cream before taking off from the cute store. The owner is super nice and made our day out on the lake a memorable one! Thanks again for everything! We really appreciate it!"
