Annual family vacation

We have stayed in many different places and this home by far was one of the best. Very accommodating hosts. The home easily accommodated six adults and three grand children comfortable. The lake is beautiful. I hope to get the chance to stay again.

This is our 4th year staying at this beautiful property. The house is very spacious with lots of room for family. The house is equipped with everything you need. We loved sitting on the deck and enjoying the sunrise and sunset. Close to the golf course and town for any necessity. We enjoyed the lake and lots of family time.

Amazing Family Time

This is our second time staying at the property and we will definitely be back! Enough space for four families comfortably, large gathering space on the family, an absolutely adorable third floor space for the kiddos with six beds for a minor additional fee. The view is unmatched and the fun on the lake only added to the wonderful accommodations.

Perfect place for family getaway

We love returning to this lake house with our family. It has plenty of space, perfect lakefront access, dock to fish and a space to swim. The kids love it as much as the adults. Communication with the owner is so easy, and we have zero complaints!!! Five stars!

Home Away From Home!

We had an absolute great time staying at this home on Paw Paw Lake. The home is equipped with anything you could possibly need and more. Very spacious, open concept and large enough to accommodate large groups. We have created family memories here that we'll cherish for a lifetime. The location is serene yet close to anything you may desire - grocery, restaurants, golf course, etc.

Great Stay!

Great place for a long weekend for myself and 9 others. It felt like we had privacy, and it was nice to spread out. There are 45 or so stairs between the beach and house, which I missed in the listing. However, that is really the only negative and it’s not really a big one. The host was great and had a great setup for guests!

Girls' Getaway

There were 7 of us. We rented this house for a long weekend to celebrate our 60th birthdays. Had a wonderful time and created lasting memories! The house and location were great. We made good use of the well-stocked kitchen, back deck and fire pit. Beds were comfortable!! Lori, the property manager, has a wealth of information and provided great recommendations on restaurants, wineries, and boat rental.

Wonderful Lake home

A wonderful stay with my children, their spouses, and my grandchildren. The house has a lot of room to spread out. At check-in we were met by Lori who went through everything in the house and explained how to work things. Very well equipped with all supplies and towels-only need to bring your food! Paw Paw lake is a great area to stay. Beautiful views of the lake from the house and the deck. Nice beach-there are quite a few stairs from the house to the beach, but we all managed. Great family get away!

Excellent vacation lake house on Paw Paw Lake.

Thanks Lynn for another great stay. The Paw Paw Lake home is very large, clean and accommodated all 12 of us comfortably. Everything for a large group is provided and your recent upgrades are appreciated. The deck and sandy beach front was enjoyed by everyone. We are very happy to book again for 2019 which will be our 4th consecutive year. I especially want to thank Lori who was always available before, during and after our week to address any questions or concerns. Thanks again, looking forward to next year. Michael B.

An absolute gem

To say our stay at Lynn’s was perfect would be an understatement. Booking was a breeze. Lynn and Lori answered all of our questions in a timely and detailed fashion. They provided a guide to the area and were just so kind in every interaction. The house was immaculate. The bathrooms and kitchen were well stocked. Each time we went to see if they had an appliance or kitchen item sure enough it was there. The kids had an absolutely blast with all the beach toys provided. There was plenty of room for our five families, and the kiddos loved the grounds. We will definitely stay here again. Thank you so much Lynn and Lori.

Great guys weekend. Fantastic property!

Everyone in our group thought this house was a quintessential lake house on a great lot and in a very convenient location. Very clean and spacious home and beautiful views from the deck, or hanging out on the pier. We rented a boat (Runyon Boat Rentals) and that was a plus as the lake is great. If you are interested in fishing, we caught enough perch for appetizers for 7 guys, not to mention some bluegill and bass which we did not keep. Plenty of room in the house for hanging out, playing games, etc. We cooked all of our meals in the kitchen or on grill, and ate in the dining are with views of lake or on the deck. Owners are very response and made the entire process enjoyable. Lastly, a great location near a few restaurants, grocery, drug stores, etc. Highly recommend this property!

Great House for Four Generations of Family

This is a great property, very clean, lots of space and fabulous views! This was a Girl's Trip, first of many I hope, our oldest is 84, and our youngest,l 3 months shy of 2. There was plenty of bedrooms and it was very comfortable. The house has everything you could possibly need. It's also close to so much, St Joseph was a favorite, but also went to Saugatuck, Coloma, and took a ride to Blinkers Diner for a really good breakfast. The little place in town, Watervliet, also had a really good breakfast and a Brewery with several good beers. There were 9 of us, and we all said we would stay here again. The host and her sister, who checked us in, were wonderful communicators. Could reach them anytime and they answered several questions before our stay. You can't go wrong renting this beautiful home on the lake.

Wonderful Family Gathering

We lost our family cottage of 40 years last October. I did not want to lose the closeness a family cottage brings so I rented. The description of this cottage lead me to chose it but I was floored when I arrived and experienced it. A 1920s oversized gorgeous home with a million dollar view! My two sons, their wives and little children, my husband and myself settled in comfortably. There were little hideaway spots to read a magazine, sip some tea or have a chat with someone you love. The beach was perfect for the children and we rented a boat from a local on the lake to make for an all-around picturesque week. Lynn and sister Lori were so helpful and they made the arrival and departure easy peasy.

Amazing Home! Best view on the entire lake.

Lynn’s lakehouse was easily the best home rental we’ve had the pleasure of staying at. Lynn and her sister Lori (who checks you in) were fantastic, incredibly kind and very responsive, thank you! Anyone looking to rent a lakehouse on Paw Paw Lake, look no farther, this is the home you want to stay at, you won’t be disappointed. The home is perfect. Great location, absolutely amazing view, through their massive windows overlooking the lake from the bluff/hill top. The home was perfect for our group. Fully stocked with everything you could imagine, they have it all. I won’t even try to list all the positives, everything was top notch. It made for a very easy, stress free weekend. If we are ever in the area again, no questions asked, we will look to rent from Lynn again. Thanks again Lynn, we loved our stay.

We Loved This Waterfront Paw Paw Lake Home!

Our family of 11--parents, children, and grandchildren-- had a wonderful weekend at Paw Paw Lake. Lori was very welcoming and helpful in orienting us to the house and its many features and charms. The home, its many amenities, and its location suited everyone's needs. We appreciated that the family room and dining room could easily accommodate all of us and we were thrilled with the abundant bath towels, beach towels, kitchen supplies, and beach toys. The very gentle slope into the lake and the narrow sandy beach was perfect for our grandchildren ages 1, 3, and 6, The setting and site of this home is lovely, with spectacular views of the lake from a large deck with chairs for everyone. We did some paddling and driving around the lake and came away thinking we stayed at the best place/spot on the lake. Thank YOU! We hope to return in 2020!
