Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2008
Kathy and I have always enjoyed remodeling single family homes and this property is no exception. We started renovating with our first home in 1985 and enjoyed the work and the results. After leaving the corporate world in January 2008, we dove into our previous hobby full time and formed Virgil Investments, LLC in 2009. Our business model is based on the idea of "Quality Homes for Quality People."
Why the Owner Chose Watervliet
Friends of our told us about Paw Paw Lake and we found a home that needed some updating but was in excellent shape and had views of the lake. We decided to take on this project and offer a furnished seasonal rental during the summer and a short term rental off peak. The peak season for SW Michigan is June through September and off peak is October through May. We have enjoyed meeting people from all over this great country and sharing this property with them. We have had a lot of positive feedback and expect many of our customers will come back each year.
The Unique Benefits of this House
Quiet family neighborhood with public access near by and private beach area and boat dock. We plan on offering the option of a deck boat and a small fishing boat in 2010 for our visitors to enjoy. Also there is many opportunities for summer fun nearby including St. Joseph which has one of the "Top ten family beaches in America," in Silver Beach. The town is located on a bluff overlooking Lake Michigan and the lighthouse and offering great shopping and dining. In 2010 the new Jack Nicklaus Signature golf course will open all 18 holes and the completely renovated Jean Klock Park has just reopened to the public. This is just one of many Lake Michigan towns near this property. Other great cities within 30 minutes include South Haven, Saugutuk, and New Buffalo. Also within 30 minutes if South Bend, IN home of Notre Dame and the Fighting Irish!! Our Paw Paw Lake property is conveniently located to may activities in Southwest Michigan.
