Top Notch

I normally do not give anything a 5 star rating because there is always room for improvement. But I have to say I do not know what else the owners could do to make this any better! Very clean, comfortable beds, well stocked kitchen, lots of games and books if you have children. The neighborhood is nice and quiet, Plenty of room to park a boat by the garage. Just an all around nice property.

Linden Guest Cottage

The Linden cabin was everything as advertised. Very clean, and conveniently stocked with anything you might need to make you feel at home. Close to town, but a quiet neighborhood. Many pluses, plus the owners had blueberry muffins there as a warming welcome. Will definitely stay with them again.

Great Cottage

We loved the hominess of the cottage down to the afghan on the back of the chair. It was fully equipped including amenities we might have forgotten. The cottage had lovely landscaping and was surrounded by a wooded area. We found Ludington to be very friendly. Our stay couldn't have been better and we would recommend it to anyone.

Peaceful Neighborhood

Very comfortable feel. Our hosts thought of everything! The kitchen and bath were well stocked and there were extra linens if needed. There was a helpful printed guide to the home, with instructions for checking out and the location of things light flashlights, and how to operate tv. The cornhole set is gorgeous, we had fun playing that and sitting outside in the shade.

This was the best vacation cottage we have ever stayed at. Everything was clean and new looking. The location was quiet with a great yard and firepit. All amenities were provided. We would love to stay there again next year.

Linden Cottage Getaway

Wonderful place to stay -- would give it 10 stars if I could. Pleasant little cottage with a great location, quiet place in the woods but still fairly close to Ludington. Wonderful welcome in the form of delicious muffins left for us! The cottage is extremely well-supplied, with typical items (paper towels, soap, toilet paper) as well as unexpected thoughtful things (first aid kit, dog biscuits for our pooch, laundry soap and dryer sheets, spices, books, toys for kids, the list goes on and on). Our hosts were responsive, answering texted questions promptly. Overall an awesome place to stay. We would certainly stay here again!

Happy from Ohio

This was a great place to stay! The owners left muffins in the kitchen. They thought of everything to make our stay comfortable and like home. The owner even contacted me to say that a few of my belongings were found in the driveway. She was happy to mail them back to me! Very pleased and would stay again

Great little getaway house

This house was perfect for my me, my husband and our dog! We have been to ludington before and it’s one of our favorite vacation spots and this house was perfect for our stay! It was nice and clean with everything we needed, including some delicious bakery style cinnamon rolls! This place is in the perfect location where sterns park (our favorite beach) is less then a 15 minute drive, along with the shops and restaurants! Cannot say enough good things about our stay, will definitely be booking again on our next trip.

Exceptional!

We love staying here and it’s why we keep coming back! This was our 3rd summer vacation here and it never disappoints. The house is always very clean and welcoming. The hosts are amazing and made sure we had everything thing we needed. They even warned us about a strong thunderstorm storm coming through overnight and how to be prepared. It was very kind and thoughtful.

Delightful Cottage

We stayed 6 nights. The cottage is well stocked, clean, remote (in the woods) with lots of deer roaming around. Very close to public small boat launch. Communication with host was fast and courteous. We took our small dog and all went well. Large deck with gas grill. We would stay there again.

Great Ludington home base

House and property were clean and well equipped. We only ate out once and used the kitchen for breakfasts and dinners. Owners supplied everything one could hope for. We used the outside firepit each night, and even the wood was supplied.

Nice accommodations and overall experience

The property was exactly as presented. It was clean and inviting. There was so much attention to details and little extras like a welcoming couple of muffins (yum!), lots of condiments and supplies on hand, and lots of suggestions on places to eat and things to do. Dawn checked on us to be sure all was going well. We completely enjoyed our stay!

Very quiet and private

There are other houses/cottages all around, but it was a really, really quiet place. Loved that about the place. A little bit out from Luddington, which I wasn't expecting, but only a short drive. Saw deer, turkey, and chipmunks wandering the neighborhood.

A great getaway

Needing to be in Ludington for business on a Monday and Tuesday, we rented the Linden Guesthouse for the Saturday and Sunday prior to create a nice weekend getaway. The cottage, location, and the weekend were all perfect. It was a great alternative to the normal business trip accommodations!
