About the host
Hosted by Mark Rodgers
My wife, Joanne, and I live in Chicago and run Midwest Luxury Home Rentals. We also host a property in the city and have truly enjoyed welcoming guests over the years. The wonderful experiences we've had inspired us to continue our hosting journey with this Paw Paw Lake home as well.
Why they chose this property
We have been visiting Paw Paw Lake in Coloma for many years. We’ve always loved the easy drive from Chicago and the calm, relaxing atmosphere of the lake. Decided we wanted to share that same experience with others.
What makes this property unique
The expansive front and back yards were a key part of what drew us to this property. Its prime lakefront location offers the perfect setting to enjoy both sunrises and sunsets with family and friends. We also value the rich history of the home and have worked to thoughtfully blend modern updates while preserving its original character and charm.
