We loved our stay in this cozy home. The inside of the home was just as advertised and very clean! The added bonus was the fire pit out in the backyard to relax around after a busy beach day!The location of this home was perfect for what we were looking to do in MI. We were about a 20 minute drive to several beaches and enjoyed a little fishing spot in Coloma near Paw Paw Lake. I would highly recommend staying in this sweet cottage!Thank you for a wonderful time!
My wife and I stayed there for six nights in June. It's a very nice place. It's small but very tiny and clean. We liked the kitchen layout and the front entry covered porch. The AC will freeze you out if it's too low (works well). There is no beach access, but there is a small lake access about a block away. It's really well appointed for two people. The surrounding area is nice and very quiet. Parking is a little strange but, not too bad.

I am from Grand Rapids, MI originally. However I am now a full time resident of Coloma!
Why they chose this property
I absolutely love this area and love to share it with others. From Paw Paw Lake, to the Lake Michigan beach towns, wineries, farmer's markets, and more- there is always something to get outside and do.
What makes this property unique
The Lakewood Bungalow is such a cozy home, it really makes you feel like you're away on vacation. It's the perfect little cottage, and you can't beat the location- nestled right across the street from Paw Paw Lake. Drive into Coloma for a small town feel, or drive 20 minutes north or south to explore the bustling beach towns of South Haven or St. Joseph.
