Very cute cottage with plenty to offer

Rebecca and Sean went above and beyond in communicating with us before and during our stay. The cottage was very cute, better than the pictures even. There are stairs from the outside back deck, down to the grass/pier/water, with a gate at the top of the stairs for dogs/kids. The Collins family provided so many toiletries and comforts that other rentals normally do not, like propane tanks, wood, lots of pillows/blankets/sheets/towels, coffee, kayak. There is a beautiful sandy public beach on Lake Michigan about 8 min away, free parking, not crowded, and the water was just perfect! The king bed is pretty soft, but the queen and double were firm and comfortable. Overall, we had a good time. Thanks!

Wonderful cottage!! Very clean inside and out!

We Really enjoyed renting this cottage!! Everything was just as it was stated in the listing. The host was very responsive to our questions and we had everything we needed. We loved all the windows looking out to the lake as well as the outdoor deck area that also had baby gates at the stairs~ which we used for our dog. The dock is in perfect shape and we had plenty of room for a speed boat and Jetski. I would definitely recommend this cottage. you would want to keep in mind there is somewhat limited parking-Especially if you bring a boat and Jetski; or any other water toys you may have to consider alternative parking arrangements for those trailers... we had a friend that lived nearby so we were able to utilize his space at his house. Also , the launch was two doors from the cottage, but there is no dock so just keep that in mind as well. Lisa and Fred P. Haslett, Mi

Amazing!!!

We decided to do a weekend getaway with wine tasting. Our first outing since the pandemic. We’ve never visited this area of Michigan and finding The Collins’ lake house was a huge bonus!!! When you walk in it’s so bright and cheery, and you can see the lake. The house is clean, beds comfy and everything you need to cook meals is there for you. We loved the gas fire pit on the back porch. There is also a bonfire pit we enjoyed very much. We will definitely be back and stay longer! Thank you for sharing your beautiful house with us.

Perfect place for family weekend getaway

This cottage is right on the lake, not far from town. Great location, only 20 minutes or so from Silver Beach in St. Joseph. The property was clean and well equipped. The fire pit was perfect for s'mores. The property manger was quick to respond to questions and great to work with. Hoping to visit again!

Super relaxing!

We had a wonderful, peaceful, and relaxing time at Little Paw Paw. We had a campfire, and used the propane deck fire which was fancy! There was lots of bird watching including swans! The kitchen is fully stocked which made cooking a breeze. Love the oversized leather chairs! We will for sure be back!

Love White O’Morn

We had an excellent stay at this cozy, well-appointed cottage on a peaceful lake. Beds were comfy, there were plenty of supplies, the setting was beautiful and we saw more stars in the night sky than we have in a long time! Hosts were generous and helpful throughout. We hope to be back sometime soon!

Hidden gem on a quiet lake

My family and I had such a great time here, I almost don't want to write this review. Then we might have too much competition when we try to rent it again! This little cottage was a lovely space for our group (4-6 adults and one 6 year old) both inside and out. The furniture was super cozy and everything was very clean and accessible, we felt at home right away. The lake and neighborhood had a more quiet and relaxed atmosphere than you get around big lakes (granted, we were here in early spring, not peak lake season). Great bird watching from the backyard. We are already planning our next visit!

Charming place near great locations!

Enjoyed a 3 day get away to this lovely well appointed home on a wonderful lake! Owners thought of everything we could need to make our stay a great experience. Loved the well stocked kitchen and bathroom. We spent the late afternoons overlooking the lake and relaxing. Close to St Joseph, South Haven, and Saugatuck. We will return and tell our friends about this gem!

Amazing Paw Paw Stay

I cannot express enough how great of an experience we had at this home. My fam stayed there for 2 nights and it was everything we thought it would be, and then some. Amazing lake views, beautiful cozy cottage that allowed for invaluable QT w/ the fam. The place was impeccable and Rebecca went above and beyond to be hospitable. Extremely kind and responsive. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. Thanks, Rebecca.

Peaceful weekend away

The cottage had all the comforts of home and was perfect for a weekend getaway for the two of us and our small dogs. Even in February, the lake was beautiful. We were treated to a gorgeous sunset one of the nights! We drove in to St. Joseph and saw the ice formations at Silver Beach and did some shopping. We enjoyed visiting Arclight Brewery and Friendly Tavern as well. The hosts were very accommodating! Highly recommend!

Awesome

my family and I had an awesome time! The owners communicated very well with us and make sure. We had All that we needed. Everything was super clean, spacious, and the bed and pillows were very comfortable. This place is fully stocked with spacious kitchen enlarge refrigerator. The neighborhood is quiet and peaceful with views of the lake. The lake freeze over during the winter time and you can go ice fishing or just walking on the ice. The patio is spacious and comfortable with matching back yard leading to the lake. We did not want to leave. Honored to be the first, but will not be the last time here.
