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!

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.

Absolutely wonderful! Cozy, comfy and clean

Linden House was exactly what we needed for a fun week up north! It was very clean and felt like home with all the nice touches that the owners provided. It was a great place to relax after a long day at the beach or the park. I’ve been visiting the area my whole life and this was the nicest rental place we’ve ever stayed!
