Stunning Views of Maple Lake. Pet-Friendly! Welcome to our Paw Paw getaway. Our family has enjoyed Paw Paw for decades and has decided to share that joy with others. Tucked away past the dam you will find the Paw Paw Cottage. A quaint cedar shake 2 bedroom, 1 bath cottage with a large yard and dock. This cottage is perfect for a small family or couple that wants to just get away and relax. Breathtaking views of the sunrise over Maple Lake pierce the east facing windows. Steam rises from the lake as the Blue Heron makes his usual fishing stop at the end of the dock. Morning fishermen troll along the lakes edge and disappear into the cove. Enjoying a fresh cup of coffee while taking in all the sights is simply joyful. For the adventurous soul there are 2 paddle boards of differing lengths and 2 kayaks in the garage. They are very easy to use and will provide a fun and relaxing time on the water. Also available is a lily pad float for the kids and a small inflatable boat. Don't forget to paddle to the island and walk along the sandy shore. Nearby we have the famous St. Julian Winery. A family tradition dating back many decades. I would recommend a tour. And a wine tasting! :) A little over 30 minutes away is the town of South Haven. One of the most beautiful beach towns in all of Michigan. Highly recommended! And you can always visit a fresh produce stand or blueberry farm. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach towels ### Ski - Cross-country skiing nearby - Snowboarding nearby ### Internet - Available in the cottage: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Onsite parking options include a garage ### Kitchen - Blender - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided - Sofa bed ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room ### Entertainment - Books - DVD player - Games - Smart TV - Video library ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming cats and dogs only - 3 pets total ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - 2 steps to reach entrance - Single level property - Well-lit path to entrance - Smoking not allowed ### Location highlights - Near a hospital - On a lake - On the waterfront ### Things to do - Kayak - Paddleboard - Water sports equipment - Cycling nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Hunting nearby - Jet skiing nearby - Kayaking nearby - Snowmobiling nearby - Swimming nearby - Water skiing nearby - Water tubing nearby - Winery tours nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - At least 80% lighting from LEDs - Double-glazed windows - Garden ## Similar properties ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/77000000/76830000/76821700/76821663/9c171537.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Romantic 1 BR Lakeside Cottage w/ KING BED Paw Paw - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Parking available 10 Exceptional 49 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-15&endDate=2025-11-16&selected=76821663&PinnedHotelID=76821663&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/35000000/34400000/34391800/34391789/636cbc26.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Cozy cabin w lake view.

The location is absolutely beautiful, right next to the lake — peaceful, scenic, and perfect for a relaxing getaway. The place itself was spotless, cozy, and even better than we expected. Bart is a truly wonderful host; he’s thoughtful, kind, and genuinely cares about making sure you have the best stay possible.

This home is clean, comfortable & meets every need. The deck is fantastic with an outstanding view of the lake! We were lucky to have perfect weather & spend most all our time outdoors, but if not there were movies, games, puzzles & a large dining table to gather indoors. Friendly neighbors & a great town. Plenty of great restaurants nearby & wineries too! ##### Barb E. Stayed 3 nights in May 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Robin G. Jul 25, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy We loved our second stay at this house. It’s always a relaxing time, just sitting by the water, paddle boarding, kayaking, fishing and swimming. We couldn’t keep our water-loving dog out of the lake! We had everything we needed to cook dinner and breakfast each day, and watched movies as a family each night. My two cautions are that the main bed is small and not very comfortable, and the shower water pressure is pretty low. But this home really is a deal for all it offers. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/32834021-eb14-4b49-ae60-4b95bf4d0f67-1753409219008.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Robin G.

The pictures are accurate, and we enjoyed making coffee in the morning and watching all the wildlife on the lake (turtles, eagles, and a very curious muskrat). Also, my wife and I work remotely, and we didn't have any issues with the internet using VPNs to remote in—just a note for those digital nomads out there. Overall, this was the perfect place for us and we will be back in the future when we visit Michigan. ##### Nathaniel C.

The inside seems to have been a low cost rehab, it was not terrible but you could feel it was somewhat thrown together. I would visit again for summertime fun since the yard and lakefront are amazing. Some mid grade upgrades inside would make this a treasure. ##### Tim M.

We took our three dogs with us and they loved it as well! The lake is just shallow enough by the yard that our dogs (German Shepherds) could stand in it and touch the bottom which they absolutely loved. Some stairs or a ramp to get out of the water right there easier would be nice but definitely not a dealbreaker. We didn’t have any issues with the property; everything was as stated in the listing. ##### Miranda D. Stayed 7 nights in Sep 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### PATRICIA C. May 7, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfection! This was such a wonderful and surprising find for us. We needed a place to stay for the weekend for a birthday celebration in nearby Kalamazoo. To start, the cottage is the cleanest rental we have ever stayed in. Very tastefully decorated and has all the amenities one would need. You just can’t beat the view of the lake. The location is nice and we were able to walk our dog in the park close by each morning. It was convenient and fun to visit the little town of Paw Paw. It is in close proximity to Kalamazoo, and South Haven if one wants to venture out for a day trip. LaCatina, Red Dog Root Beer Stand are just a couple of the restaurants available.We ate pizza on the deck and watched the ducks and swans swim by. We savored the little time we had just to sit by the waters edge and enjoy the serenity of it all. Unfortunately on this visit, we didn’t get to spend much time at the cottage due to the birthday festivities in Kalamazoo. We sure hope to get back there for a full fledged vacation. Hands down, we would recommend this home for a delightful stay. ##### PATRICIA C. Stayed 3 nights in May 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Aaron and Theresa B.

We loved the view of the lake from the dining room and living room. There are plenty of things to do around the cottage or within a short drive. We especially loved the kayaks, paddle boards and raft available to use. Overall we had a great time and will keep this cottage in mind for future trips! ##### Aaron and Theresa B.

You can tell this cottage is loved and well cared for. You could see the updates. I was impressed with all the supplies they gave you to start off. Usually you might get 1tp roll and 1 paper towel roll, no soap. Amenties included 2 kayaks, 2 paddleboards, inflated boat, float pad thingy, fishing pole, charcoal bbq, fire pit, beach towels. Centrally located to tons of towns- holland, south haven, st joseph, Kalamazoo, etc.... honestly, though if you just want low key and no crowds, you have everything right at the cottage. My husband and son caught tons of bass. 4 were over 3 lbs. They caught couple fish a day. Fenced yard on 2 sides. Our bulldog was able to enjoy being outside with us! Quick and easy communication with Bart.

Bart and his family are very blessed to have such a beautiful place and I hope we can come back. ##### Sherrie M. Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### lnda s.

We love that he put a ladder going into the water--it helps alot (also it was my favorite place to drink my morning coffee.) We didn't go fishing but saw a lot of fish popping out of the water. You Looking forward to going back again next year!!! ##### lnda s.
