Plan your getaway to this cozy cabin located on a peninsula with a 180 degree view of beautiful Maple Lake. Whether you're looking for a romantic weekend,a cozy winter getaway or fun filled summer vacation, Maple Leaf Cabin is your lakeside retreat!
Maple Lake is a 172 acre, mile long all sports lake just 2 hours from both Chicago and Detroit, with easy access from I-94.
Recently remodeled and ready for your visit, Maple Leaf Cabin features a bedroom with full sized bed and a queen sized sleeper sofa in the living room. The cabin also has an indoor dining area, modern kitchen and bath, laundry and an outside enclosed hot shower (in addition to the regular ceramic tile shower inside). The cabin features a huge screened porch with floor to ceiling views of the lake. Enjoy meals from the large square picnic table, take afternoon naps, play board games or read by lamplight. You can even sleep on the porch and wake up to the sun shimmering on the lake.
The cabin also has wonderful outdoor space, with a deck, fire pit, picnic table and plenty of adirondack chairs to relax and enjoy the view of the lake while sipping morning coffee or sampling a glass of local wine.
Dine out in local restaurants and pubs or create your own feast from local farmstands and (if you're lucky) your own catch of the day! Fish off the seawall or paddle the lake in our canoe. Or cruise the lake on Miss Maple, our pontoon boat--great for fishing, basking in the sun or sipping cocktails at sunset (extra charge applies). Hunt for antiques, stroll a few blocks for ice cream or a movie in Paw Paw's vintage theatre ($3!) or visit a u-pick farm or local winery. Or relax and do nothing...It's always great to get away to Maple Leaf Cabin--and don't forget your pets!

Map & Owner's Profile
Cozy Cabin on Maple Lake--Just 2 Hours from Chicago or Detroit
Year Purchased: 2000
Why the Owner Chose Paw Paw
We fell in love with the view of the lake--within five minutes of arriving we decided to buy it. We live in Chicago and can leave the City after work on Friday and still arrive in time to open a bottle of wine and fire up the grill--it's a great antidote to city life.
The Unique Benefits at this Cabin
We love to relax at Maple Leaf Cabin, whether reading on the screened porch, drinking coffee overlooking the lake or cocktails on the pontoon boat, Miss Maple, it's always a great getaway. The cabin is fully outfitted and Paw Paw has everything we need so it's not necessary to bring alot of stuff--just hop in the car and go. We love visiting the farmstands and farmers' markets for local produce but if we don't feel like cooking there are many good restaurants, from casual to fine dining, where we can grab a great country breakfast or enjoy a relaxing dinner right on the water. And there are always new wines to taste at the wineries--just a few short blocks away!
Great sandwiches, burgers, salads and more, plus lots of local beers and wines.
Stop in for a tasting of locally brewed beers, ales and stouts. Grab the growler from the cabin and take it in for a fill up!
Drive in for a home-brewed root beer and a hot dog. Friendly car hops and freshly made food!
Owner's Map of Paw Paw
We love getting away and enjoying time at the cabin. We like to relax on the porch, sip wine while taking Miss Maple on a spin around the lake, then throw some steaks on the grill. When we're not antiquing or gardening, we play with our chocolate lab Riptide--he loves to swim and fetch toys from the lake. Come visit the cabin--you and your dog will love it too!

Wonderful cabin vacation

We had a great time. The screened porch is not to be missed -- whether in the morning with your coffee reading the paper (even online with their WiFi!) and watching the birds and ducks begin the day, or in the evening with a campfire -fixings for pudgie pies nearby! The owners have thought of everything, down to marshmallow sticks "at the ready" right by the huge stack of wood for the campfire. The inside is nicely laid out, up-to-date and was very clean and organized when we arrived. Staples in the kitchen all provided, except spices for cooking. Pans, glassware (daily & wine glasses), and dinnerware all in abundance. Dishwasher, a big plus! Maple Lake is quiet, not many power boats or jet-skiers. There were more pontoon boats than anything so having the rental boat, Miss Maple, was perfect for fishing and "touring". The lake is very nice for fishing, not so much for swimming. It's a man-made lake that needs man's maintenance and right now it's a little weedy. We'll be writing the district senator and house rep to advocate the lake's proper upkeep. The neighbors were a nice help for a question, but you have alot of privacy. There was a sense that you were alone; although you knew others were nearby, you didn't see them day-to-day. Love this. If you enjoy the simple pleasures of time off, you'll be happy here. Watch the birds, look at the water, do a bit of fishing, cook up some great meals... it's all good. We'll definitely be back!

Charming Cabin

Maple Leaf Cabin was absolutely the most charming cabin we've ever stayed at. The decor was so warm and cozy and absolutely anything you could need was provided. We have had bad experiences in the past when renting sight unseen but decided to take another chance. It was exactly as described. The property was very well maintained and everything spotless! The screen porch was a great place to have a drink at the end of the day. Great grocery store in town. Although we did not eat at any of the restaurants in town, we had gotten many good recommendations from the neighbors. Our chocolate lab had the time of his life swimming and riding in the pontoon boat. We went to St. Julian Winery, took the very interesting tour and sampled some great wines. Would highly recommend Maple Leaf to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway where all you really need to bring is your clothes. We will definitely be making a return visit.
Recommended for:Romantic getaway, age 55+, tourists without a car, pet owners, sightseeing.

We stayed in Maple Leaf Cabin 2 weeks before Memorial Day Weekend and had such a wonderful time. It was so quiet and peaceful and just the right size for us and our 2 dogs. Everything in town was close by and in walking distance. We really enjoyed ouselves & had alot of fun fishing off the pontoon boat. Everything was just right, clean and decorated oh so cute. We only had to bring our food since everything was provided for us. Our host was wonderful and everything was more than what we hoped for. You will want to come back right away, so book fast.

You have a decorating touch. We are leaving with a couple cases of wine as we visited the Paw Paw and Coloma wineries. We biked the Kal-Haven trail and really enjoyed Miss Maple. And two nights sleeping on the porch and looking a the stars was terrific. PS the cats loved the porch!

We enjoyed all you have offered. The dogs are going to be so bored at home. Most of all our time was spent playing in and around the lake. which is a luxury for us and the dogs. We did have a couple of great finds at the indoor flea market along with a drive to South Haven. We can't wait to stock up at the farm stands. Thanks for giving people like us with dogs an opportunity. No fish caught but we'll try next time...soon!

The scenery cannot be beat! The cabin has everything you need making the stay that much more stress free. We very much enjoyed the porch and used the campfire every night (mmm... s'mores)Our Yorkie also had a blast sniffing for squirrels. The cabin was clean and very festively decorated. My husband and I would really like to come back and enjoy the lake in the summer!
