Overall great stay

The property was very nice, vintage little home. Lots to like and appreciate. Things of note: the home was closer to a busy road than I had assumed. It was still quiet inside. The only lake access nearby is a fire lane across the street. It's rocky and shallow there, so not great for fishing. The house had window air units that had trouble keeping up on our hottest days. The sunroom bedroom got pretty warm. Overall, we had a really great stay. The communication with Nick was great and always swift.

Good location for a long weekend

Enjoyed being close to lakes. We kayak at little paw paw lake twice. Nice clean home close to stores and restaurants. Had an issue with leak from a storm and Nick sent someone over right away to inspect. It was very important to us that we can bring our dog and Nick is very accommodating thank you Nick.

About the host

Hosted by Nick Miller

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.
