Coloma, Michigan
Our charming, family vacation home is suitable for anyone and for any occasion: ranging from big families, to friend groups, to celebrating a special occasion; no matter the reason, it’s the perfect getaway! There are 4 separate bedrooms and 10 beds in total that could comfortably fit up to 13 people. 2 full bathrooms, and a half bath on the main floor.
As you walk in, you'll notice the vibrant lake house decor from around the world. Paintings and ceramics from Italy, figurines and tablecloths from Kenya, and a unique, tree bark dining table from Ecuador's Amazonian basin. There are 2 fireplaces: one classic fireplace in the living room, perfect for wine nights, and another antique, cast-iron wood burning fireplace in the lounge room.
For more fun, there is a pool table that can be converted to a ping pong table located in the main lounge area. Our kitchen has all the essentials including: a fridge, dishwasher, coffee machine, oven, stove top and plenty of counter space for prepping your own meals.
Outside, we have a deck area, which we recently remodeled and expanded, with a premium Weber gas grill, a classy gas fire pit table, and large outdoor cushioned chairs that rotate. Beyond the deck area, you will see that we have a rocking chair swing, space for volleyball or badminton courts to be set up, an outdoor fire pit, and a lake dock with room for a boat or for fishing. To take advantage of the lake, we provided you with two paddle boards, two adults can ride in each, for going around the calm channel in Paw Paw Lake.
We hope you enjoy the house as much as we do this summer! Lake houses are booking fast this summer, so make sure to make your reservations ASAP
Aspects: family friendly, quiet neighbors, trees in the backyard that offer more privacy, outdoor string lights, beautiful water front view, short drive or walk away from town center, surrounded by quaint towns/wineries/breweries/antique shops/farmers markets (worth the drive!)
Included: accessible and fast WiFi, TV (can access Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu, etc), fresh linens and towels, washer/dryer, closet space, garage and driveway space (5+ cars), water rafts for boat tubing, soccer goal, volleyball net, badminton net, 2 paddle boards, and fishing pole upon request.
Location: Coloma, Michigan and on Big Paw Paw Lake. Close to St. Joseph and Benton Harbor. About 1.5 hours from Chicago and 3 hours from Detroit.
We like Paw Paw Lake because it’s close to many sights in western MI, but you can boat on a smaller and safer lake. The house was lovely. I wasn’t expecting it to be so well decorated. Ecuadorian dining table! But the best feature for our family of older teens and 20s was for sure the pool table! The hot tub was a close second. And the yard is spacious. I seriously felt like we were staying in a hotel. The sheets and towels were awesome. And Pillar keeps beach towels well stocked as well. Was so helpful to have laundry on site. And the kitchen had simply everything we needed and more, even a fancy ice machine. Did I say that this house comfortably sleeps 16? Note that it is in a channel, not directly on the lake. You’ll want to rent a boat. The wonderful host was happy to recommend a place. Give it at least two weeks or boats are rented out.
The house and property were spacious and very workable for our family. We loved the deck + hot tub, yard, and access to the lake. The living spaces inside the house were also very nice, with plenty of activities to do and access to yard and water toys in the garage. We had a miscommunication with our host at the beginning of our stay, but she addressed it immediately and fixed the problem right away. Our family had a lovely weekend at Paw Paw Lake!
Great spot for a big group to hang out, relax, and play. Owner was very generous to include paddle boards, things to float on, etc. for guests to use right in the backyard canal. Can get out to the big lake on paddle boards or find a boat to rent for the day. Beautiful area and great location 20 min east of St. Joe/Benton Harbor, 2.5 hours from Chicago. So much to do/see in the area- wineries, breweries, farms, sand dunes. Kids loved playing in the bunk room (connected through one of the main bedrooms up a spiral staircase), having backyard bonfires, and fishing off the dock. Cozy back family room overlooking the hot tub and backyard.
This property was not as advertised and made it difficult to enjoy our trip. Dirty, e.g., well water not properly treated smelled terrible, ran yellow in toilets, not safe to drink, brush teeth, wash food, etc. beds had hairs. Musty bedding and smell overall. Water damage on walls. AC broken most of our stay-sweltering hot. Bunk bedroom only accessible by unsafe floating, twisting steps in another bedroom. Steps go up to hole in bunk room floor that doesn’t have adequate guardrail to be safe for young children. Dishwasher was unreliable. Dishes in cabinets put away dirty. Boat dock not as advertised, borderline unusable. House is on small canal, not main lake, so view is of lots of other houses, not open water.
Great communication with host. Quiet and beautiful property with direct access to channel. Nice and open space inside to hang out in large group. Would go back.
We were a group of 13 on our annual lake house trip. The bunk room was perfect for the kids, it was like their own private apartment. Just be careful on the stairs getting up there. The house is well stocked with towels, bed linens and even a few staples in the kitchen. Plenty of dishes, cups/glasses, silverware. The outside area was great. It was kind of chilly so it was really nice to have the firepit to sit around in the evening. The layout of family/dining room was great as we got to hangout and not be on top of one another. If our travels bring us back to Coloma, we will definitely look up this house again.
Everyone had a blast here! There's tons of fun toys and activities in the garage, as well as a fire pit, a ping pong table, pool table, and a play structure to keep all ages entertained. Beautiful home.
Always seems like there is always something to do. Pool, Ping Pong, hot tub, fire pit, etc. Great for a group that likes activities. Right on the water as well. Great spot!
This house was a great location for a weekend getaway with my loved ones! There were plenty of beds for all of us and a great kitchen to prepare our meals! The outdoor space was lovely & we really appreciated it, even when the weather was not cooperating! There were some cobwebs and a few dead bugs that we came across, but the space itself really made up for it. I enjoyed my time playing pool, lounging on the couch, and making memories with the people I love. I would recommend this house for others who are looking to do the same!
This house was a wonderful place to stay on our trip to SW Michigan. I would recommend it to others.
Great property, had a small issue and Pilar was extremely responsive and the issue was resolved very quickly! Beautiful home away for our fall get away!
This was a great lake house to get away from it all. Plenty of space for large groups, including a large common area, deck, and backyard. The channel connects to the backyard, and the lake itself is a short no wake ride from the dock. The hot tub was great, and the ping pong/pool table was a hit.
The property was just perfect for a pre-start of school, last summer getaway! Kids enjoyed the pool table/ping pong table, hot tub, and getting out on the lake. Pilar was very responsive to questions and needs. Would stay here again!
