Perfect, cozy haven a few blocks from beautiful downtown Summerville. The grounds are gorgeous and the home is quiet and very charming.

Beautiful Summerville

Over all we enjoyed our stay. We were somewhat surprised by the small space. Could have used a second comfortable chair as the rocker was pretty but not at all comfortable. Also there was no hot water to the bathroom sink. We appreciated Linda's caring attitude with us and the other guests that included prayer. Enjoyed the pool and property very much. Gorgeous!

Summerville break

Linda and Enola were wonderful hosts. Everything was just as I expected and more so. It was a lovely touch when we arrived to find the welcome coffee and bread! The grounds were beautiful and we will be back at a later time of the year next time so we can experience them in full bloom.

Picturesque & Cozy

The grounds were beautiful. The house was a historical treasure and reminded me of the home I grew up in. The king bed was a dream and the train whistling in the night was charming. The resident cat, Mr. Earl Grey won my heart and he is quite welcoming. I loved the location and everything about my stay.

A winter escape!

My husband and I traveled to Linwood to escape the cruel Indiana winter and to visit my daughter who lives in the vicinity. What we didn’t expect was to find the most beautiful, relaxing vacation spot we have ever experienced. We are definitely planning a return trip thanks to our gracious hosts and their oh so efficient property manager. Thanks once again Linda,Peter, and Enola! Mike & Mary Ann Beard February 20, 2020
