Summer Vacation

We had a great time. The property had everything we needed for a week’s stay. We enjoyed the view of the water from the deck and our time on the water. This is a great property for larger groups.

Big house in a great area with lake access

We enjoyed this large house with three families with 4 little kids. The house is not directly on the lake but across a one lane road with many stairs to get down to the waterfront. The waterfront lighthouse has many fun floats, a paddle boat, paddle boards, and bon fire supplies that we enjoyed all week. The area is great as there are fresh fruit markets close by, a golf course, multiple ice cream options, a beautiful nature center, parks, and a quick drive to the beaches of Lake Michigan and Saint Joseph. The house had a large open kitchen with many pots/pans/containers/utensils. The upstairs bed in the first room was not very comfy. We loved the big back deck overlooking the lake with a grill and many seating options. There was only a little propane left for us to use so we had to replace it ourselves. Overall, this was a fun vacation for our group and we would stay there again.

Perfect family house

This is our second year in a row we stayed here and loved it all again! The house was clean, well stocked and very comfortable for our whole family. There was also great storage for all of our water toys in the lighthouse.

Great home but beds are horrible

Property is beautiful, although the cleaning between rentals was sparse. The home has everything you need from bandaids, shampoo, washer/dryer, dishwasher and tons of kitchenware...just no cabinet space to store food items you bring other than the fridge. Janitors closet smelled putrid; learned that when we needed a broom to clean up a spill. The house is huge and has lots of space, but there are only a few tvs in the house, not all bedrooms so if you need a tv to sleep you might want to bring something to accommodate yourself. The thermostat for the house is controlled by the management company, we had a very warm weekend and could not cool the house down. All beds were extremely uncomfortable! We used every bed in the house and every single person complained and had body aches...such a shame because it is a beautiful home and location.

Perfect house for a large family. We traveled from the east side of Michigan to host our daughters wedding. It was our home away from home.

Amazing!

Our family of ten spent a very enjoyable week at Paw Paw Bluff. The House was large enough to accomadate all of us comfortably. Both the kitchen and bathrooms were well stocked. There were many games, puzzles, and books if the weather was rainy. The kitchen island was large and great for meal prep and eating. We used the large dining room table for puzzles and games. The front deck was large enough for everyone to sit and relax. In front the circle drive provided plenty of parking and a space for the kids to ride scooters,etc. The lake lot was well worth climbing down the many steps. We were able to slip our boat at the dock. The lighthouse was a great surprise! It was large with lots of space to store beach toys,etc. so you didn’t have to carry them back and forth. There was also lots of room to play by the lighthouse and a fire pit by the lake. An amazing place! We hope to return next summer,

Exactly as advertised and More. Great kitchen and my brother just loved the bath towels.

The view was better than the pictures on the website. The home was beautiful, modern, clean and fully equipped. The experience with Be Our Guest was fantastic and communication was flawless. Two families stayed for a family event and felt At Home during the long weekend.

lovely lake home

Our Memorial Day weekend at your lovely lake home was delightful! We were four couples in for a family wedding. We had plenty of room to spread out and enjoy ourselves. Every detail was perfect. The boat house was so quaint, and filled with toys for us to enjoy the beach. I could not ask for more. You have a great place! It was just like staying at a friend's home. If we have the chance, I would stay here again in a heartbeat.
