Guest Raves & Reviews: Discover What Our Visitors Have to Say!
Linwood House is beautiful and tranquil, set in serene Roberts Creek. Mark and Heidi hosted us for our small foundation retreat and it was the perfect place for us. They were very responsive to our needs and went out of their way to accommodate us. The landscape is beautiful as well, with the beach and small cafes very close-by. Mark recommended a catering company Nomadic Kitchen and they were excellent, also 5 STAR. This was our second year at Linwood and we will definitely return again. – Andrea C.
