Children and Ludlow's

Many of us grew up in a time when we could roam our neighborhoods, our city streets, go to the local community center, the corner grocery store, and play anywhere without a concern for safety. Today, few of those things seem possible with our children. Ludlow's is a special place for children. Our private island provides the opportunity for children to once again roam freely exploring our pathways, having fun in our playhouse, climbing the large rocks and fishing from the shore. Kids can come to the lodge, go to the game room, and get a snack from our pantry on their own time and at their own pace. Only registered guests are allowed on our property. People interested in visiting the resort are welcomed, but always accompanied by a member of our staff. Come to Ludlow's where your children can be free to explore and be kids again.
