About this property

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.

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.

Cozy Cottage
This a very nice cottage. The lake views are beautiful especially in the morning. Had a great time kayaking the lake and a bonfire in the evening! Dog friendly with fences on each side to keep them in the yard. Great place will book it again in the future.

Dog friendly
This was our second time staying there and we had a great time with our two dogs. The yard is nice and big with plenty of room to play. My husband had fun fishing every day and caught (and released) many fish. We used the paddle boards and the lily pad almost every day.
