We were thrilled at how clean and comfortable the stay was! The house was still so new you could smell it! Not a single complaint, they even had snacks!
Our stay was relaxing and enjoyable. Shannon had everything we needed for our get together, even the makings for S'mores while relaxing by the fire pit. I am a stickler for cleanliness and I was not disappointed with the home. Thank you Shannon for a memorable stay!
We enjoyed our stay in Coloma. the location was nice at the end of the road. the wooded area behind the house made it feel private. it was close to many of the Lakes tourist areas. Shannon was helpful and easy to communicate with. the fixing for the s'mores was a very nice touch along with the water and snacks. it was great to have the washer and dryer. the fire pit and deck were very nice, unfortunately the weather kept us inside most of the time. thank you Shannon
My aunt, mom, and I spent the weekend at this lovely property. Shannon was an amazing host who made the check in and check out process as simple as possible. She truly thought of everything needed for the perfect cottage getaway. She had chargers, items to make s’mores, dishes, tourist guides, you name it. You name it she had it. It was clean and spotless and even better than the pictures. 10/10 would stay here again!
We had a family wedding in Benton Harbor and needed a place to stay. This house was wonderful - clean, comfortable and had everything you could need. Lots of parking, clean open floor plan, beautiful outdoor deck & firepit, stocked kitchen with basic supplies. Perfect for our weekend stay! Would stay there again for sure!!

About the host
Hosted by Shannon Paulsen
Last year I decided it was time to build a home in Michigan and keep the family traditions going. After much thought I decided I wanted to open my doors to others so they can experience the joy that this area brings to me and my family. Although Michigan is definitely my happy place, I am an avid traveler. I have been to 8 countries and all over the US. I love learning new cultures and ways of life. Many of my travels have been in Airbnb’s as it allows for a more local vibe. In my early years I was a hotel manager and truly have a passion for making guest experience the best possible.
Why they chose this property
My name is Shannon, and my family has been coming to Hager Shores for over 70 years. As a child our annual family trip was always to Coloma. Me, my brother, and sister looked forward to spending the days at the beach and the nights around the campfire looking at stars. My adult daughter has also grown up with the same nostalgia.
