Each has its own water heater, plumbing, kitchen, living area, patio and grill. The kitchens are fully stocked with kitchenware, linens, garbage disposers, coffee makers, TVs, microwave and conventional ovens. The neighbors are long-term, year-around residents. There are few fences. Many school aged children live in the neighborhood. The full baths have a tub and shower. There is also a half bath. The bedrooms have pillows, blankets and linen. The larger living room has a wood fireplace, new faux wicker furniture. Both cottages share telephone and cable TV service, washer and dryer. The larger patio has a Weber gas grill and the smaller patio has a Weber charcoal grill. The fire pit is near the lake. The dock is 32 feet long. There are two row boats and a pedal boat. The cottage has two furnaces, just in case.

Warm, Spring Fed Lake, Charming Village: Guests are requested to bring their own bath and beach towels. There are dozens of golf courses within 20 miles, miniature golf and go cart racing is 12 miles and Lake Michigan is 30 miles away. The Air Zoo (aircraft museum) is 20 miles away and Cereal City is 35 miles. There are two large flea markets within 10 miles. It is 3 miles to the Village of Paw Paw, where there are two nice restaurants. Paw Paw's wineries offer tours. Paw Paw has one modern super market. There are many U-Pick farms in the area featuring blueberries, strawberries, cherries and other stone fruits. The cottage is located approximately 4 miles from Interstate 94 and is equidistant from both exits 56 and 60. The terrain is gently rolling hills with many vineyards and fruit farms. There are a lot of things to do in the area but most guests tend to merely 'hang out' at the lake. It's really a beautiful lake.

Basketball team end of season reunion

Review Submitted: June 30, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2009
We were looking for a big cottage min 4 bedr. for two night stay. This cottage was the only option we found since nobody wanted to rent for 2 nights only. The owner was very prompt with all the information. We loved the cottage a lot. Mainly because it was on the waterfront and the beach was shallow. Therefore kids could be in the water by their own. I would highly recommend this cottage to somebody who is looking for a nice place to stay with kids.

Review Submitted: August 8, 2008 Date of Stay: July 2008
This is our 2nd year staying at the cottage. We enjoy the ease and coziness of the home. There is always so much to do within a short distance 1/2 hr or 40 mins drive etc. The lake is like glass (kids love the activities Ages 10 and 12) and quite picturesque. We love the fire pit and indulge in local wines. We have attended the local Catholic church. At least once a visit we eat at LaCatina in Paw Paw YUM!! ENJOY!!
