About this property

This cedar-clad gem is nestled on almost 5 acres in a timber-filled grove with an updated interior with 5 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, and a fully finished walkout basement with many amenities to suit everybody's needs. It offers outdoor activities, scenic views of tall trees, a creek, and deer passing by, making it a perfect backdrop for making memories with friends and family while enjoying a campfire under the stars. Welcome to your oasis in the woods! We promise the property will not disappoint.

The house is in the Southwestern part of Michigan. Also known as wine country. One of the largest vineyards in Michigan St. Julian Winery & Distillery is in Paw Paw near the house. We are centered within 30 minutes of Kalamazoo with many restaurants and entertainment and within 30 minutes of the crystal-clear beaches of Lake Michigan for boating, fishing swimming or just soaking up the sun rays and dipping your feet in the sand.

The house sits on almost 5 acres of land with a tranquil flowing creek that runs in front of the house. The property is adjacent to School Forest so don't be surprised if you spot deer walking by during your morning coffee. The exterior boasts a large wood deck with a table and seating and a propane fireplace. the side lawn has lounge chairs surrounding the wood firepit. Wood to burn is present in areas on the property if you acquire it. There are large cut-up wood pieces in different piles around the property. We do have security cameras on the exterior of the house for everyone's protection. There is plenty of asphalt/gravel parking for vehicles or trailer/boat needs since there are many local lakes and Lake Michigan beaches under 30 minutes away. If interested in compound bow hunting on the property during hunting seasons, please inquire. Also, if interested in riding motorized vehicles on the property please inquire.

The interior has been recently renovated with 5 bedrooms that have new mattresses: 2 queens & 2 twins on the main level and 2 queens on the lower level.
(PLEASE NOTIFY US IF THE AIR MATTRESS IS NEEDED PRIOR TO YOUR STAY SINCE IT IS LOCKED AWAY IN OUR STORAGE ROOM)
The property has a lot of amenities on the interior some are already described. The house is equipped with a fully functioning kitchen with kitchenware and a washer and dryer in the laundry room. We have 5 smart televisions, board games, a foosball table, Skee-Ball, Cornhole, over-the-door basketball hoop & a dart board along with a sound bar on the TV in the basement for music and remote-controlled disco lights for your dance parties.

There are local shopping, retail, and grocery stores nearby. Walmart is about 7 minutes away if needed.

Excellent weekend getaway.

My buddies and I spent the weekend at the Honeycomb Home and absolutely loved it. It’s close enough to Kalamazoo to enjoy some nightlife but remote enough to enjoy peace and quiet. The owner was very attentive and the home had everything we needed. We definitely recommend this rental and we will be back!

Wedding weekend success story

Great location for family wedding weekend in Paw Paw. We were responsible for flowers for the venue and had plenty of space to work at the large dining table. Family members could relax together at this "home base." Thank you.

Perfect

Friends having a reunion from WMU - perfect location to visit WMU and have a wonderful place to return to. We all had our own space but also had two places to hang out with each other. We really enjoyed the house, and all its comforts it had to offer.

Loved the Honeycomb!

Thank you for allowing us to enjoy your incredible home. We were blown away by the house and the property. I did pay quite a bit in cleaning fees so stripping the beds and taking the trash to the end of the driveway seemed like something that would be incorporated in the fee. The personalized note when we arrived and the help prior to check in was great. I’m hoping to bring my kids back this summer!

Such an Amazing & Fun Stay

We celebrated our family Christmas weekend here at honeycomb! Everything about the place was amazing! Very clean, comfy beds, lots of towels and the most stocked I have ever seen from a VRBO. The kids and grandpa loved the arcade type games, the board games were a huge hit as well as the toys they had. My kids are not huge winter outdoor kids but because of the yard and Ninja course they were outside most of the day for two days straight! Thank you for such.a fun time and it maybe come a family tradition!

Hidden Gem!!

This house should get a 6-star rating. We were so impressed and happy with our stay at the Honeycomb house!! Came into town to visit relatives, and arrived later in the evening due to traffic and weather. From the moment we turned down the long and winding driveway, we started to relax. The entire home was amazingly well-appointed and sparkling clean! There were six of us staying and we never felt crowded or crammed together. When my younger nephews came to visit, they had a blast exploring outside, playing in the game room, and riding the zip line. The teens did too! :)We loved it so much, we are already looking at some potential dates to come to the area this summer when the house is available!

Friends and family getaway

We had a lovely stay. The house is beautiful and well maintained. The hosts are attentive and helpful. The bedrooms are large and the beds are very comfortable. We enjoyed the deck and the fire pit in the evening. The kids and the dog in our group loved exploring the grounds.

Cabin Getaway

Fantastic location for a cabin getaway. Plenty of room, area was clean, and all of the basement games were fun and functional! Outdoor area had plenty of room to play games and more than enough firewood for our stay. Would recommend to anyone looking to have a weekend getaway!

Quaint and Cozy

Clean and Welcoming, just watch the bottom step. The home was the perfect size for our group of 10. We had a tree fall down during our stay and the owners were super responsive and kind. Would stay again if we are ever in Michigan again since it was very close to a lot of our family.

Mother's Day retreat

For Mother's day weekend we had a delightful stay at Honeycomb Home! My wife and I with our daughter, son in law and 2 teenage grandchildren arrived Friday May 10th and left Sunday May 12th. The house was spotlessly clean, beautifully decorated, and comfortably furnished. 👌 The internet connection was strong. We had a wonderful Zoom get together with our children and grandchildren in 4 states! It was near supermarkets and shops. The family especially liked Moo Moo ice cream joint in Mattawan and Perfect Storm West for comics and trading cards in Paw Paw. Wolf Lake State Fish Hatchery in Mattawan was fascinating 👍

Great Stay!

We used the Honey Comb Home while we visited colleges in Southern Michigan. The game room and outdoor space were a great place for the teenagers to burn energy off and watch the NCAA Tournament at night. There is a definite cabin feeling but it is in great shape and excellent value.

Beautiful woodland retreat

I loved the proximity to civilization and how private the property felt. The wooded setting was beautiful. I would have preferred a king bed in the master, and a second main floor shower. The home was lovely and exceeded every other expectation I had.

About the host

Hosted by Ryan Lawrence

Host profile image
I grew up in the Chicagoland area. I have two siblings, with whom I am very close with. I purchased my first house at 22 years old with my twin. This inspired an interest in real estate. I later became a Home Inspector at 24 years old. Which led up to my investment property. I'm a family man with two wonderful kids. I take pleasure in helping people with the process of purchasing their dream home and being a loving father and husband to my wife. I enjoy architecture, real estate, and nature. I am passionate with organization and cleanliness which led me to become a great host for the Honeycomb Home. Having the opportunity to allow others to enjoy a homestead family-orientated area away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life can be so rewarding.

Why they chose this property

It's like being tucked away in a cabin in the woods. You wake up and might catch deer running across the driveway while having your cup of coffee, yet your local shopping is about 5 minutes away. The tranquility of the stream as you stare out the windows just takes your mind to another place.

What makes this property unique

Well, the house is in the shape of an octagon! On a unique landscape with hills and a stream running across the southern exposure adjacent to a school forest. You can see this from the aerial photos!
