Welcome to our newly remodeled and enlarged (2007), year round, completely furnished lake view home. Rekindle the romance... gather your friends for a harvest festival and celebrate life... or just get away for a long romantic weekend. Celebrate that special occasion... a promotion... a milestone birthday... a special anniversary...
This lovely... romantic... 3 bedroom home, is equiped with high quality furnishings and antiques. The home is located on one acre of well maintained grounds with mature trees, a perennial garden and a one acre pond.
The large Great Room has a 12' cathedral ceiling, a large stone (gas) fireplace, solid oak flooring, ceiling fan, new plush sofa, love seat rocker, lazyboy style recliner, entertainment center with CD, DVD, VHS, cassette tape, turntable, a video and musical library. The Great Room has views of the lake and backyard.
The large Master Bedroom has a 12 foot cathedral ceiling with ceiling fan, his and hers closets, a brand new memory foam-pillow top Queen size bed and plenty of dresser space. The large Master Bathroom has a Jacuzzi, custom tiled shower with rain head, separate toilet closet and his and hers sinks and vanities. The Master Bedroom opens onto a large deck overlooking the scenic back yard and pond. In season... fall asleep to natures gentle sounds from the large pond and wetlands area.
The second bedroom has a Queen size bed and the third bedroom has a fold out sofa hide-a-bed. The second full bathroom is close to both bedrooms.
The kitchen is equiped with a refrigerator, electric stove, microwave and is complete with cookware, cutlery, dishes, toaster, electric can opener and coffee maker. Our home is the perfect getaway from the busy city.... a lake house atmosphere in a romantic setting.
We are located just off Paw Paw Lake in Coloma Township, between St Joseph and South Haven. This area is very quiet, especially after Labor Day, and is perfect for a couple (or small family) that wants a nice quiet, relaxing "get away" from the every day stresses of life. The Master Bedroom/Master Bathroom w/Jacuzzi is perfect for a couple... Our home is a great place to spend a week, or a few quiet days, relaxing and enjoying your honeymoon.... The Great Room is very cozy and conducive to romance with the beautiful stone fireplace, cathedral ceiling, beautiful hardwood flooring and comfy furnishings.
The Coloma/Watervliet area is in the heart of Michigan's fruit rich region along the shores of Lake Michigan. In the spring, stroll along the shoreline and see the flowers in bloom, stopping to browse at unique shops along the way. In mid to late summer, and early fall... visit the many area orchards that offer a variety of fruits and vegetables. Pick your own peaches, apples and pumpkins and take a hayride through an orchard at Harvest Festival time. Winter time offers snow skiing, ice skating, cross country skiing and other cold weather activities... Or, just cozy up to the Great Room fireplace and relax.
Nearby Coloma and Watervliet offer local dining, movie theaters, antique shops and small town charm. Unleash your adventurous spirit and take a short drive on scenic Lake Michigan Circle Tour Highway, M-63, hugging the Lake Michigan shoreline, north to South Haven and south to St. Joseph. There you will find good food, live music/theater, unique shops, museums and art galleries. Each town has individual charm with it's own lighthouse, boat filled harbor and unique attractions -- an experience you will not soon forget!
Short term rentals only.

Thanks for the memories. My High School friends celebrated our collective 60th birthdays here, and it was the perfect place for us. We enjoyed the cottage, the town and Lake Michigan in general.

David, We enjoyed our time here to the fullest. Our only regret is that we must leave today. You cannot imagine the love and laughter that took place here. We feel so blessed that the four of us still have this bond of friendship that goes back to Jr. High. God Bless you and future guests at this home. Sincerely, Sue.

David, your house was the perfect place for me and my three High School friends to celebrate our 60th birthdays. We could not have found a better place. Also thank you for going out of your way to show us how to light the fireplace. It was good to meet you. You were so nice to deal with during the entire rental process. We will be back. Jackie

Thank you for the use of this beautiful space! We had a wedding rehersal in the Great Room - due to the rain. We made all our wedding floral and had our hair and make up - as well as dressing our Bride. I washed towels and sheets, they are folded in the laundry! Thank you again - all was lovely!

David - Thank you so much for your help throughout the rental process. You were amazing. The house is beautiful. We watered the porch flowers for you. We also pulled the citronella candle you had and replaced it with a new one, it would not light correctly. We hosed off both decks for you and did our best to scrub the deck and picnic table.We also hosed down and srubbed the patio furniture as best we could. We figured it was the least we could do for your hospitality. Suggestion, need a larger coffee pot. I hope we have an opportunity to do business again in the future. Finally, many thanks for opening your home to us, it made the stresses of wedding coordination much more comfortable. Beth
