Plenty of space at Linden Cottage. Built circa 1840. Restored and modernized 2019-24. Home is a Greek Revival, New England style farmhouse with attached barn. Nestled in old Plaistow Village, in a safe, secure location near town hall and police station. Property has two connected, separate homes, and a large barn. Your accommodations are fully furnished. 4 bedrooms, 2 baths. 40 minutes to Boston. 20 minutes to Seacoast Beaches. A calming, spacious environment to unwind and be your best self.
This home is a historical preservation award winner. The exterior has been thoughtfully restored to its original condition, while the interior was completely redesigned and renovated to highlight antique charm, while also creating a modern, comfortable, energy efficient space.
The property has two separate homes that are connected by a 10 foot wall. The front home is a fully furnished rental. The rear home is owner occupied. There is minimal to zero noise transference from home to home.
We like to be flexible in how guests can use the space. Check-in is anytime after 3 pm. Base nightly rates are for parties of 6 or less. Add $25 per night for both guests #7 and #8. Dogs are welcome with a $50 canine guest fee. We can also provide a crate for your dog, if you need to leave an unsupervised dog in the home. Parking is very spacious for 2 cars, slightly tight for 3 cars, and quite tight for 4 cars.
The house is rich with antique and historical character and makes for a very nice sleep, but don't confuse it with new construction. The floors creak and will never be level, and it's one of those projects where there are unfinished details, some of which may never be completed.
Also beware, there is noise. The property is 5 doors down from the police station, and 2 blocks over from the train tracks. You will hear police and fire sirens from time to time, and the Northeast Amtrak rolls through the village daily. Traffic can be moderate during certain times of the week.
Over the next two years, there are additional projects that will be completed on the barns, landscaping and rear house. Because contractors are busy, and construction is weather dependent, we can't dictate exactly which days, and which times there will be workman on site. If we have construction underway during your stay, please make us aware if this is a problem for your so we can make additional accommodations.

We all loved Linden Cottage during our stay! It was very well cared for and the attention to even the smallest of details was incredible. Our host was generous, and we would love to come back again. Thank you!
Super cozy with special touches in books and decor. Great condition, kitchen is very well equipped and bathrooms were updated clean and even had little toiletry items in case those were forgotten.Check in was a breeze and host was super responsive yet gave us our space.
We absolutely LOVED staying at Linden Cottage! The hosts were incredibly welcoming and we immediately felt at home. We were in the process of moving from Texas to New Hampshire and they made the transition so smooth. We will be recommending the to family that wants to come visit!
We felt so welcome at Linden Cottage! Liz is an amazing host. Not only was she incredibly responsive if we had a question, she was accomodating and flexible to our schedule. She also decorated the house for the holidays so that we felt like we were celebrating at home.

Fantastic accommodations! Very clean, well maintained space, comfortable beds, open floorplan, TV with literally 3000 stations, easy access parking right near the door, excellent communications from hosts, well equipped kitchen. A
Kitchen very well appointed. Bathrooms were updated and had some provided toiletries. Laundry area and supplies available. Comfy beds, furniture cleaned and relaxing. Pet friendly. Quiet, safe neighborhood. Host is very communicative and close by if you need anything.We visited for a wedding. The property is located within 30 minutes of everything so it’s a good base of operations if you’re running around the area. We will be back, love the area and thanks for having us.
This property and the owner were terrific! The property was beautifully renovated and decorated. It was spotlessly clean, every ammenity was provided and was very comfortable. We will be choosing this property the next time we are in town!
Great house great location. Perfect for using as a homebase for local exploration or staying in while it rains. Easily one of the best rentals I've ever been in. We had 7 adults and it never felt crowded.
Wonderful! I highly recommend this property. So clean, cozy and comfortable. Liz was a fantastic host and thought of everything. Left yummy snacks and a thoughtful basket in the bathroom with extra supplies if you forgot anything. One thing that was a welcome surprise was there is a bedroom located on the first floor. A great help for someone who has any mobility issues or bad knees. You don’t have to go upstairs!! Would stay there again in a heartbeat. Loved it.
We were in town for a family wedding, and Linden Cottage was a nice home base for our part of the group. We really enjoyed the local park with the kids. The house had everything we needed and the renovations were beautiful!
My family loved spending the weekend at this beautiful, well-equipped home in Plaistow. The home was clean, cozy and beautifully-decorated. Liz was very accommodating and responded to all messages immediately. Highly recommend this home!
This cozy, charming & lovely decorated cottage surpasses expectations. The host was exceptional with communications & supplying very thoughtful amenities throughout the house. Location near everything we wanted to visit in New Hampshire, Massachusetts & Maine.
Great space - perfect for family of 4 (kids are 3yo and 6yo)
Liz went above and beyond with this space and our stay was great. Beautiful space, well laid out and perfect for kids. Exceeded our expectations - and then some.
This is the second time we’ve stayed at Linden Cottage and it was just as awesome and charming as it was the first time! Liz is amazing, so sweet and attentive, and the house immediately feels like home when you walk through the door. We cannot recommend this property enough!!

Thank you for being amazing guests, come back anytime!
By far one of our favorite places we’ve ever stayed at! The house is beautiful, clean, so many amenities and of course the historical element was a plus. Liz is the best host I’ve ever come across and we truly felt at home. She was so kind and reliable, if we’re ever in the area again would definitely come back! We had such a wonderful stay!
Liz the owner was very accommodating after I accidentally booked the house a weekend earlier than I meant. The house was also absolutely gorgeous and spotless!
