About Linda or Abe Thiessen

My name is Linda. I am married to Abe Thiessen for 8 years now! We have 2 beautiful daughters! Amelia and Grace! We currently live in Charlevoix, MI.

Linda or Abe Thiessen purchased this house in 1987
Why Linda or Abe Thiessen chose Harbor Springs

I bought this house when I was 20 years old. It's been in the family since my Grandpa built it. When I had to move to Charlevoix for work, I didn't want to sell the house. We decided to turn it into a vacation rental. We don't have a lot of money. We are not trying to 'make' money off of it. We just need it to pay for itself in order to keep it! We like to keep the price down so EVERYONE can enjoy Harbor Springs! Although Harbor Springs is known for it 'money', we'd like to keep it affordable so average people can vacation too!

What makes this house unique

The location is everything! Our house is located just 2 blocks from down town. Located behind the Holy Childhood Church, you can faintly hear the church bells in the morning! Close enough to town to walk to dinner, church and the beach. Yet far enough out to be quiet and relaxing!

Charming, clean and great location in Harbor Sprin

My wife, 15-month-old daughter and pug thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Harbor Springs. The house is perfect for a small family, with everything you need for a vacation. A short walk or bike ride away is downtown Harbor Springs with wonderful shops, restaurants, beach, etc.

The home is very clean, with laundry, dishwasher, microwave, etc. to really make it feel like your home away from home. Linda was also extremely helpul! We plan on staying there again in the future!

Pleasant Stay

We enjoyed our mid-week stay. property was close to many points of interest. Very quite and comfortable. Nicely landscaped with just about everything you need close at hand, The big plus for us was being able to bring our pets. With the exception of the lawn service mowing the grass at 7:30 AM on Wednesday morning, and waking us up, everything was wonderful.

We stayed here for a few nights immeddiately after labor day. The pictures on the website do not do justice to the cottage. It is so much nicer and roomier than in the pictures. The cottage was spotless when we got in. We loved the spacious bathroom and the back bedroom. The master bedroom is really spacious and that was a treat! Ample closets, kitchen shelves...everythings was thought out well. We liked the layout of the cottage...it worked perfectly for us. The kitchen was stocked with everything one could possibly need. The garden in the side was a very inviting place to have breakfast or just lounge around.
We really enjoyed our stay and my husband must have commented atleast three or four times that we need to come back to the area, and to the same cottage. And the cottage is reasonably priced.
Thank you for letting us bring our pets and sharing your cottage with us.

We had a wonderful time in Harbor Springs and at this cottage. It was just what we were looking for -relaxation!!!! We walked into town every morning, cute little town. Everything about the listing of the house was accurate. The house is now blue not tan like shown in the picture. Thanks for letting us stay, we would stay here again.

Nice Cozy Place

This house is a nice cozy place for 2-4 people and is very dog friendly. Description of property was accurate. Kitchen had everything you might need and the outdoor barbeque grill was excellent. Location was close to downtown and we walked everyday to the dog beach. Linda and Abe, the owners, provided excellent service. Will rent again the next time we travel to Harbor Springs.
