About this property

Lake Life Awaits with Boat Pier, Beach, Hot Tub, Parking on Paw Paw Lake

Live the Lake Life at Bayview, our NEWLY appointed lake house with a boat pier for your boat, a hot tub, large patio, sandy beach, and large dock on Paw Paw Lake. Steeped in history as a go-to resort area, our home is named in honor of the Bay View Hotel, which once stood on the sandy shores of our bay.

Welcome to our spacious 4.5-bedroom lakefront retreat on Paw Paw Lake! There's room for everyone and everything to enjoy being on Lake Time!

We have a great room with a gourmet-lover's kitchen, spacious dining table, sofa lounge area and big screen smart TV for games and movies. The spacious outdoor patio has a table fire pit, dining area, grill, and brand new hot tub. Our fresh, new, furniture and appliances will make your stay so enjoyable and easy.

Our house comfortably sleeps 12 guests. Four bedrooms have 8 beds accommodating 9 guests. Two of the bedrooms convert to king or two XL twin beds, creating fantastic flexibility. A single sleeper couch and a queen sleeper sofa sleep 3 additional guests, making Bayview the perfect spot for 12 guests.

Relax on the lakeside patio with multiple seating and dining areas, complete with a gas grill. A small wooden gate leads out to a sandy beach where you can ease one of our 4 kayaks into the lake for an relaxed afternoon of paddling. You can rent paddle boards, kayaks, and pontoons/boats, or bring your own boat – a public boat launch nearby and you can moor your boat on our permanent pier.

Our house has a FREE PARKING LOT directly across the street to easily accomodate all of your guest's vehicles.

Explore the nearby attractions, such as the many breweries, wineries and distilleries in the area, the town of Coloma, famous for its Gladiola Peach Festival, Lake Michigan beaches, area golf courses, and the charming towns of St. Joseph and South Haven, which many restaurants, shops and kid's activities.

The property is in great condition and well taken care of. You won’t regret spending your vacation here. Be sure to check out the “Paw Paw Lake Love” Facebook group for local boat rentals at cheaper than commercial price if you’re looking for something larger than the kayaks on property!

About the host

Host profile image
My husband Keith and I live in Chicago and have had a home on Paw Paw Lake for over 30 years. We love the Lake Life and sharing this magical place with people.

Why they chose this property

The east side of Paw Paw Lake, where our home is located, gets the most amazing sunset views! We are also conveniently located within 30 minutes of dozens of wineries, breweries, shopping, and the natural beauty of Southwest Michigan.

What makes this property unique

Our home is newly appointed with all new lake-inspired furniture and accessories. We have a lovely outdoor patio "room" with a hot tub, spacious dining table and seating area and beach access.
