About the host

Host profile image

Hi there!

This cedar cottage on Maple Lake has been in our family for decades and is the place where we’ve made countless memories – summer days kayaking to the island, fall evenings around the fire pit, and cozy winter weekends watching the snow fall over the water.

We’ve loved every minute of it, and a few years ago we decided it was too special to keep all to ourselves. We opened it up so other families (and their dogs!) can come make their own Paw Paw traditions.

We promise to keep everything clean, comfortable, and stocked with the little things that make a lake vacation perfect (and plenty of water toys!).

We still use the cottage ourselves a few weeks a year, so we treat it exactly like our own home – because it is. We hope you’ll feel the same way the moment you pull the kayaks out of the garage or watch the afternoon sun sparkle on the lake from the dock.

Can’t wait to share it with you!
Katie and Bart
