Great little place by the lake!

The house was super clean, and included some nice amenities such as yard games and fire wood too. Would definitely book this again next summer.

Adorable cabin

We had a wonderful time in this cute cabin in the heart of it all! A previous review had noted the cabin needed a “little TLC”. While that is true, it was spotless and in the prime location for a wonderful weekend away! Would stay again!

We had great long weekend at this cottage. Having two full bathrooms was a big plus, and the kitchen is very well-supplied with glassware and dishes. Very clean and comfortable. We would stay again!

Cozy cottage with lots of history

We had a wonderful time. The house is cozy and has lots of character. It has a pretty location and we enjoyed the fire. Only suggestion: it's in need of a little tlc.

This lake house is in a great location. We fell in love with the little town. However, it is not a top-of-the-line rental.. It met our basic needs for a weekend in Michigan for family wedding, but I’m not sure I would book again. It was pet friendly and we loved being able to take our little Sparky on his first vacation.

Great Cottage

Cottage is actually nicer than it appears on the site! It was clean, charming and comfortable. And, one of the extra lovely bits was that there is NOT a huge "to-do" list that they ask you to complete when leaving. Highly recommend!

Best vacation stay ever.

This cottage was an amazing location to paw paw lake and to St. Joseph/South Haven, etc. The place was immaculately clean, comfortable beds, fully stocked kitchen and shower. Amazing hot water and water pressure was excellent. Host was quick to respond and we had no issues when we stayed. We would most definitely stay here again. Wanting to book again for next summer! Such a gem of a place. Thank you!

Good location for a long weekend

Enjoyed being close to lakes. We kayak at little paw paw lake twice. Nice clean home close to stores and restaurants. Had an issue with leak from a storm and Nick sent someone over right away to inspect. It was very important to us that we can bring our dog and Nick is very accommodating thank you Nick.

Family retreat

We came for a memorial service all the way from Florida. The home was just as listed. It was a great place for 5 adults and 3 kids to stay. There were some yard toys that the kids enjoyed having access to. The firpit was also a great way to enjoy some family time. Overall we really enjoyed the home and the experience. I hope to be back again in the future!

I rented this house for overflow guests who could not fit in my home on the lake. I only drove by but never went inside as I was kept too busy that weekend. I was told the beds were comfortable and things were clean. The only complaint from them was the coffee machine required pods which they didn’t have so we’re unable to make coffee in the morning. I would suggest a regular coffee maker be swapped out for the pod style.

Overall great stay

The property was very nice, vintage little home. Lots to like and appreciate. Things of note: the home was closer to a busy road than I had assumed. It was still quiet inside. The only lake access nearby is a fire lane across the street. It's rocky and shallow there, so not great for fishing. The house had window air units that had trouble keeping up on our hottest days. The sunroom bedroom got pretty warm. Overall, we had a really great stay. The communication with Nick was great and always swift.
