A gem!

The house was perfect for us! 5 adults, 6 week old baby and our dog. Well equipped kitchen for cooking, great spaces so we could spread out - porch, deck, sunroom and yard. We could walk to Lake Michigan as well as a wine bar. We are already talking about going again! Thanks to the team who were so responsive- Donna Sue and her husband.

Summer Getaway

Great accommodations for a family. Near beaches, attractions, children's museums and trains. This home was very comfortable for a family adventure. We especially liked the screened-in porch for dinners and just to relax. Our pet cat also enjoyed the porch to watch the deer, chipmunks, and birds. It was a great trip.

Lots of family space, great well stocked kitchen. Short walk to nice fruit market. All the beach toys, chairs and towels we needed. Plenty of shade, house stays cool. Convenient walk to dunes, 5 miles to a great beach. Our third year at this house, we’ll be back!

True Michigan get-away

What a wonderful property and location this was. Easy walk to Warren Dunes. Found good pickleball play nearby. Home had everything, even for the 3 weeks we were there we didn't have to buy any paper products. AC worked fine when we needed it. Hosts very communicative whenever I had questions. Would absolutely go back there again.

Nice house, great neighorhood, misleading ad.

Ad says 4 bedrooms "sleeps 10" which is not true. It has 3 bedrooms and a den with pullout couch - for which there were no sheets, pillows or blankets. The blankets eventually found smelled bad. After leaving, we were accused of moving furniture around and leaving food "everywhere." This is simply not true. We totally emptied both refrigerators and left only that food already in the cabinet when we arrived. New appliances were great but no soap was provided for dishwasher. Guests should be told to bring their own. Finally, we were accused of staining the living room and hallway rug. We should have taken pictures upon our arrival to show that the stains were already there. Unfortunately, it was a "he said, she said" situation so i just paid the extra cleaning fee and consider it a lesson learned. One final thought - the accusations came after the host said she personally inspected the house on Sunday following our departure on FRIDAY! Thats 48 hours after we left. As they say in the legal profession, there was no chain of evidence linking my family to the "mess" we allegedly left. This is all moot. We will not be returning to the Linden House.

Great Family Get Away House

The house was just right for our Family Get-Away Weekend. Enough rooms for each family to have their own room. The walk to the beach each morning was perfect for the group to take the dog for a good walk. Spent time at breweries and wineries in the area. Also, spent some good family-time in the screened in porch.

Perfect location, lots of room and pass to local beach a huge bonus.

Beautiful quiet location. Master bedroom is amazing. Screened in porch was perfect and big. A huge plus. I will definitely be back. The pass to Waco Beach was a great bonus. A beautiful beach that is so easy to get in and out of and very peaceful.

Truly perfect house for a beach getaway

We spent two weeks at the Linden cottage--and truly enjoyed the house and the area. It was more of a "working from another location" than a true vacation, but we all took advantage of the house's amenities and proximity to Warren Dunes. It was a lovely walk to the beach and great biking. The screened porch was our favorite part of the house. Lots of room for us to spread out, well-stocked kitchen, and the owner was fantastic to work with.

Memories!

Loved being able to come back here and stay at Maggie's Linden House. This was my family's 5th visit here. You cannot beat the location, and the beds are even better then I remember from the last time. Thank you for allowing us to stay at Linden House!

Kind of like a home!

Our second year staying here. It feels like coming home. It's comfortable and spacious. The grandkids LOVE the tire swing and we would have been out there all day if it was up to them! It is somewhere clean and well-appointed, not somewhere you can unwind. Many games of Euchre and bottles of wine on the back deck! Thanks Tom and Maggie!

House is older than it appears in the photos

Maggie was wonderful to work with but my family and I were underwhelmed by the house. It is in need of much work and much of it is not just cosmetic. We will not be returning to the Linden House.

Cozy cottage!

We had a blast staying in this cottage! We were a group of 7 (5 adults and 2 kids) and there was plenty of space for all of us. Big kitchen where we prepared most of our meals. Screened porch was nice. We definitely put the 2 grills to work! Bedrooms are a good size with comfy beds. TV room is cute, with the only TV in the house- probably a 30 inch. Place is a bit old but it adds to the charm. Will stay here again.
