Quaint Cedar Shake Cottage. Stunning Views of Maple Lake. Pet-Friendly!

Welcome to our Paw Paw getaway. Our family has enjoyed Paw Paw for decades and has decided to share that joy with others.

Tucked away past the dam you will find the Paw Paw Cottage. A quaint cedar shake 2 bedroom, 1 bath cottage with a large yard and dock. This cottage is perfect for a small family or couple that wants to just get away and relax. Breathtaking views of the sunrise over Maple Lake pierce the east facing windows. Steam rises from the lake as the Blue Heron makes his usual fishing stop at the end of the dock. Morning fishermen troll along the lakes edge and disappear into the cove. Enjoying a fresh cup of coffee while taking in all the sights is simply joyful.

For the adventurous soul there are 2 paddle boards of differing lengths and 2 kayaks in the garage. They are very easy to use and will provide a fun and relaxing time on the water. Also available is a lily pad float for the kids and a small inflatable boat. Don't forget to paddle to the island and walk along the sandy shore.

Nearby we have the famous St. Julian Winery. A family tradition dating back many decades. I would recommend a tour. And a wine tasting! :)

A little over 30 minutes away is the town of South Haven. One of the most beautiful beach towns in all of Michigan. Highly recommended!

And you can always visit a fresh produce stand or blueberry farm.
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned cottage, featuring a kitchen with a refrigerator and an oven. There's a private patio. A Smart television and a DVD player are provided for your entertainment, while complimentary wireless internet access keeps you connected. Conveniences include a microwave and a sofa bed.
Take in the views from a garden and make use of amenities such as barbecue grills.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

Excelent Host/Excellent Accommodations
This is an excellent place to stay! The cottage was very clean and well-supplied with everything I needed. Property and local information was readily available and in plain sight. There are movies and books also available for enjoying. I was there during a snow storm, and the drive and walks were all cleared early in the morning. Even the neighbors are friendly here!

We enjoyed our stay at the cottage with the wonderful view of the lake. Quiet and peaceful just minutes away from wineries, breweries and restaurants. The cottage was cozy for us and the dogs, while we had snow during our stay would be a great place to come during the summer.

The property was just as described! What quaint cottage with beautiful views of Maple Lake. It had everything that we needed. It was very thoughtfully appointed and even included everything for our furry friend! Simple, clean and comfortable! The location was also great as we went sightseeing to nearby South Haven and Holland. The Kal-Haven trail was just up the road so we had a nice walk. What a great place!

This was our 3rd stay at this cottage. Really enjoyed the upgrades since our last stay. New deck and slider door, new smart TV’s, new washer and dryer and new couch and chair. Love the fact that this property is pet friendly! We have family in the area so this location was perfect for our visit with them!

A Beautiful Getaway
We came to stay for an extended weekend to celebrate our anniversary with our dog. It was the perfect stay. The house is well furnished and included extra amenities for your dog(s) as well. The house was very clean. Being right on the lake was beautiful and made for great mornings sitting on the deck looking out over the lake. There was good restaurants in town and great hiking trails all within 20 minutes. I would highly recommend this location and would come stay again!

Perfection!
This was such a wonderful and surprising find for us. We needed a place to stay for the weekend for a birthday celebration in nearby Kalamazoo. To start, the cottage is the cleanest rental we have ever stayed in. Very tastefully decorated and has all the amenities one would need. You just can’t beat the view of the lake. The location is nice and we were able to walk our dog in the park close by each morning. It was convenient and fun to visit the little town of Paw Paw. It is in close proximity to Kalamazoo, and South Haven if one wants to venture out for a day trip. LaCatina, Red Dog Root Beer Stand are just a couple of the restaurants available.We ate pizza on the deck and watched the ducks and swans swim by. We savored the little time we had just to sit by the waters edge and enjoy the serenity of it all. Unfortunately on this visit, we didn’t get to spend much time at the cottage due to the birthday festivities in Kalamazoo. We sure hope to get back there for a full fledged vacation. Hands down, we would recommend this home for a delightful stay.

This property is clean and has everything you need to relax and unwind. The deck overlooking Maple Lake was a great place to read a book and enjoy a glass of wine that was purchased at the near-by wineries. Plenty of restaurants and things to do in the area.

This a very nice cottage. The lake views are beautiful especially in the morning. Had a great time kayaking the lake and a bonfire in the evening! Dog friendly with fences on each side to keep them in the yard. Great place will book it again in the future.

This was our second time staying there and we had a great time with our two dogs. The yard is nice and big with plenty of room to play. My husband had fun fishing every day and caught (and released) many fish. We used the paddle boards and the lily pad almost every day.

The property is beautiful. It's the best location on Maple Lake. The neighbors on either side of the cottage are very friendly and generous.

Maple Lake
We had a great time in PawPaw! The cottage was in good condition, comfortable and is located on a pretty part of the lake. The lake was surprisingly calm and quiet allowing us to use the kayaks multiple times. A short paddle directly across the lake took us to Maple Island which is a park, and through a culvert we were able to access Ackley Lake. It was a short drive (half hour) to Lake Michigan where we enjoyed a day of rock collecting and visiting the lighthouses. Check in/out was easy. Bart was very prompt to respond to us when we had a question. The only negative was the ceiling vents were really dirty. Especially the kitchen. The kitchen was well stocked and we enjoyed having such a beautiful view of the lake from both the dining table and living room. The living room furniture was worn and not real comfortable, but we were on that lovely deck most if the time, so no big deal for us. We plan on going back. It was a great set up for us!
