Quaint Cedar Shake Cottage. 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.

Peaceful Cottage

My husband and I loved staying at this cottage for Memorial weekend with our dog Buddy. It was so cute and peaceful there. The fishing was great and the views were amazing. The neighbors were very friendly and we had such a wonderful time. We would love to come back and visit in the future.

Amazing Stay

Staying at Bart’s place was an incredible experience. 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. I can’t recommend his place enough and would definitely love to come back!

Mother's day weekend at the lake!

Beautiful property with all the amenities! 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!

Fantastic Cottage by the Lake

This is an amazing little cottage on the lake! I could not believe how quiet and peaceful it was there! The cottage matched the listing to the T and was very clean and comfortable. My only regret is that I had to work so much during my stay I had very little time to relax in this amazing oasis!

We enjoyed our stay at the cottage with the wonderful view of the lake. Quiet and peaceful just minutes away from wineries, breweries and restaurants. The cottage was cozy for us and the dogs, while we had snow during our stay would be a great place to come during the summer.

Excelent Host/Excellent Accommodations

This is an excellent place to stay! The cottage was very clean and well-supplied with everything I needed. Property and local information was readily available and in plain sight. There are movies and books also available for enjoying. I was there during a snow storm, and the drive and walks were all cleared early in the morning. Even the neighbors are friendly here!

Relaxing Stay.

This property is clean and has everything you need to relax and unwind. The deck overlooking Maple Lake was a great place to read a book and enjoy a glass of wine that was purchased at the near-by wineries. Plenty of restaurants and things to do in the area.
