The 'Stealth Cottage' is a completely remodeled historic 97 year old cottage just across Paw Paw Lake Road from beautiful Paw Paw Lake. We have 115 feet of lake frontage right across the street. We are located on what we call 'the Westlund Ponderosa'. It is our family's complex of two cottages, one lake house, and a party barn all on 2 full acres of beautiful wooded property. We have just finished our sixth summer renting 'the Stealth Cottage'. The cottage sports 3 bedrooms with a loft. The master bedroom has a king size bed with a large dresser and flat screen TV. It has a bath with a corner shower. The washer & dryer are in this bathroom in a closet. The second bedroom still has the original ceiling and door and also has a queen size bed. The third bedroom is a walk through room to the master bedroom and has a full size bed. If you want privacy in that room the master bedroom has a door leading out to the patio. The loft is entered up a ships ladder and has 4 twin beds and a double bed. Not much headroom but a great place to crash out. We do not recommend the loft for infants and toddlers! But for school age kids to active adults it is fine. We sleep a total of 12 in beds. The living room has two couches. It has a round table perfect for poker with a leaf to seat 6 for dinner. We also have a 50" flat screen HDTV with full basic cable. Also included is a nice stereo w/ dvd/cd player, and a input for your ipod or personal music player. We have speakers both inside and out on the deck. The kitchen is fully equipped with a new ge microwave, whirlpool self cleaning oven, dishwasher, and fridge with a ice maker. We have settings for 24 and include a mixer, food processor, blender, electric griddle, two cast iron griddles, pizza pans, and plenty of pots and pans for the gourmet chef. We also have a maple table with 4 chairs in the kitchen. Next to the kitchen is our favorite room in the house. It is called the 'MOAB' which stands for 'The Mother of all Bars'. It is a fully equipped dry bar with a under counter beer & wine fridge and a wine rack for your local purchases. It has a handmade bar and a round bar table with 4 padded bar stools. We have spent many a night at the 'moab'. For 2014 we completely rebuilt the floor with a new laminate wood floor. Outside we have a 14' x 24' wood deck with 2 tables and comfy chairs. Down two steps is a 14'x16' patio with a picnic table, another glass table with umbrella and a stainless steel natural gas grill with a side burner and side table. We have a outdoor fireplace for your use with an initial supply of firewood. Additional firewood can be purchased for $5 per large rack. Head down to the lake and you will find a permanent pier with 2 lifts for our boats. You have your own slip with outer pipes jetted in for a 6 way tie up so your boat will not hit the pier when it gets choppy. We can handle up to a 30' boat. We have added second pier for fishing and swimming off of. I has a 16'x16' platform at the end. We have hosted fishing tournaments with 6 bass boats without problems morring the boats. For your use we have a paddle boat and three kayaks. Also down at the lake is 'The Rocking Chair Lounge'. It is a small bar with a tilt up metal roof for security. It has a granite counter top and a raised 12'x8' platform with four southern rocking chairs. It has a small fridge and a kicking stereo with 6 speakers and two subwoofers so you can hear it clearly when you swim off the pier. Next to the 'RCL' is a large concrete patio with a table and three benches for gazing out on the lake. On the back corner of the property we have 'The Party Barn' a 24'x48' concrete floor pole building. Inside is a ping pong table, 8' pool table, foosball, darts, and bumper pool! We have a stereo w/ cd & cassette player and a large TV w/ digital adapter for over the air broadcasts. We have a 9,300 CFM industrial wall prop fan with adjustable speed Yaskawa variable frequency drive so it is well ventilated. The kayaks are stored inside. Outside we offer a regulation grass volleyball court with a line set and three sets of bean bag boards with plenty of bags. (cornhole) We have a 2000 watt lighting system for both the beanbags and volleyball court. On the far end of the property we have a area for 16 inch softball with bases and homeplate stored in the party barn. There is also room to practice your pitching wedge play. This is the ultimate Paw Paw Lake cottage!! Search 'The Stealth Cottage' on Facebook for more pictures. We encourage our guests to post their pictures on Facebook. Please note that this is our complex and my sister and I have guests up often. We enjoy sharing the complex with our renters and have played some in spirited ping pong or bumper pool so don't be offended or put off. We normally leave our renters alone near the Stealth Cottage but don't expect to have the lake or Party Barn to yourselves on weekends or holiday weeks. But during the week you usually have it too yourselves. You will not be disappointed with the Stealth Cottage. It is the best affordable VRBO rental in southwest Michigan.
