Adorable cabin

We had a wonderful time in this cute cabin in the heart of it all! A previous review had noted the cabin needed a “little TLC”. While that is true, it was spotless and in the prime location for a wonderful weekend away! Would stay again!

Very nice property. Great location. Host was very responsive. Bunk beds had some sand in the sheets, and we needed to ziptie the frame in one spot for stability… no big deal though. Overall, everything was very nice. Would definitely stay again!

The property was really accessible and close to lots of amenities if needed. There was plenty of space for my family, including our 1 year old and dog. Our daughter loved being on the front porch every morning and evening! The fire pit was a great addition and perfect for Star gazing.

Cozy cottage with lots of history

We had a wonderful time. The house is cozy and has lots of character. It has a pretty location and we enjoyed the fire. Only suggestion: it's in need of a little tlc.

This lake house is in a great location. We fell in love with the little town. However, it is not a top-of-the-line rental.. It met our basic needs for a weekend in Michigan for family wedding, but I’m not sure I would book again. It was pet friendly and we loved being able to take our little Sparky on his first vacation.

Great Cottage

Cottage is actually nicer than it appears on the site! It was clean, charming and comfortable. And, one of the extra lovely bits was that there is NOT a huge "to-do" list that they ask you to complete when leaving. Highly recommend!

About the host

Hosted by Nick Miller

Host profile image
Welcome to my home, I currently live in Chicago and have lived all over the county. By far the Mid-West suits me well. I enjoy sharing my home with family and friends who come here to relax and to have down time. I think my dogs Hank and Wrigley love it the most enjoying the sunshine on the front porch and watching squirrels and deer in the back yard. I love to travel and collect magnets from my travels, bring a piece of home with you and add to the magnets on the fridge. The home was previously on another site, don't worry we were a Super Host with 50+ 5 star reviews! The decision was made for the change to make it a more hands on experience for our guests and myself.

Why they chose this property

I picked the area as I have friends nearby and liked the slower lifestyle here at Paw Paw Lake.

What makes this property unique

This home was built in 1941 by my neighbor's grandfather. Most of the structure comes from the 30's state fair in Indiana. The house been known as Motto Cottages which was directly across the street and still standing next door this home was cottage 9. When purchasing the home many unique items were left behind, including the piano from 1886 which was at the family's great great grandmothers speak easy which she also provided alcohol during prohibition. There are still some relics in the home as I had to update for everyday living. This home has been my pride and joy as almost every portion of the home has had some sort of renovation done.
