This place was very quaint and relaxing. Eileen was wonderful during our entire stay. She made sure we had everything we needed and even access to kayaks to take out onto the lake. Downtown Paw Paw is just a walk or bike ride away.

Great location. Host was extremely pleasant and available to answer any questions. Place was very clean.. she even left some items to make breakfast which was a nice special touch. Would def stay again!

They were super helpful! Grill was out of propane and they went out and got us some! I needed medication for a headache and they were quick to help. Would definitely stay again and recommend!

Eileen was wonderful! Very accommodating and even had eggs and English muffins for us to make for breakfast. Cute space that you can easily walk into town from. This house is right on the lake and she has kayaks you can use! Nice outdoor space as well with a grill and tables. We would stay here again!

Adorable stay on the lake. Eileen's description of the place is very accurate, we walked to downtown to restaurants, wineries, and the ice cream shop. Enjoyed sitting in the yard and watching the lake, didn't have time to take out the kayaks but would have loved to. Nice stay in a quaint town. Taphouse has fantastic made from scratch food. Eileen left us plenty of breakfast options, tea, and coffee too!

Eileen was incredibly sweet and shared lots of fun things we could do in the area. Great communication. We loved that we could walk to ice cream and restaurants, enjoy the scenery of the lake and be close enough to drive to the beach. The apartment was nice and cozy. Having the kitchen was very convenient too. We felt at home knowing we could take a nap inside or sit out by the lake or in the boat house. Thanks for sharing your home!

The home is Beautiful, in a quiet neighbourhood with a great view. The entrance to the space is separate from their home so we weren't going to disturb then leaving early or coming in late. Also walking distance to the town of Paw Paw (and according to my husband the best ice cream ever). Space was clean and comfortable and as advertised:)

Clean, well decorated, easily walked to a 4 or 5 restaurants and a great ice cream place. In minutes you can be at the freeway or on the country roads headed to hiking, biking or boating. Hosts were impecable. Bed and futon bed both very comfortable.

We had a wonderful time at Shawn's cabin. The cabin was even better than the pictures, very clean, and was stocked with everything we could possibly need. Our daughter and her family were camping nearby so they drove over and the grandsons had a great time fishing with us on Miss Maple. This was perfect for a relaxing get away. We'd love to go back for a fall visit some day.

Hi Shawn, We really enjoyed our stay at your cabin. Thanks for being pet friendly and letting us rent your boat. We had a very relaxing time, just what we wanted! Thanks, Jane

What a great weekend getaway! The cabin is as pictured. Quaint, cute and stocked with all the necessities. The best part of the cabin is the porch and fire pit area! The views are great and the area peaceful. I also appreciated that while surrounded by other cabins you still felt secluded because you don't see the neighboring cabins. It is located within walking distance of a few restaurants, which was great. Shawn was very responsive throughout and though not available onsite was a phone call away (I had everything I needed so didn't need to contact her). I definitely want to go back in the Fall because I can picture how beautiful it will be with the leaves changing. You can't go wrong with this place!

Had a great weekend at Shawn's cabin on the lake with my girlfriend and our dog. It's a cozy little home with a great view the length of Maple Lake. We had a little bit of work to do while we were there and the large screened in porch pointed straight at the lake was a perfect place to get stuff done while not being in the office. I'd definitely come back...I bet that porch is ideal for kicking back with a drink and watching a summer thunderstorm.

It was our third time staying here, we love it! It has a great view, well-appointed kitchen and is thoughtfully decorated. Thank you!

We had a nice stay on Maple Lake. The cabin is small, but very cozy. Right on the water, we were there in the winter so we didn't get full benefit of the lake... we'll have to come back in the summertime. Very short walk to town, wineries, and restaurants.

This is a terrific spot. The outdoor firepit and view is very relaxing. You're on the end of a point so even though neighbors are either side, it still feels very private. We caught bluegills and perch at the dock, fed swans and ducks. Grilled and sat around the fire pit relaxing by the water. The place is very small, so be aware that this isn't a roomy place inside if the weather turns or is cold. We had great weather so we're outside quite a bit, between the screened in porch, fire pit and dock. We even managed a paddle in the canoe.

Beautiful cottage.. Love the setup and maple theme decor. Shawn had everything available for us. Lovely place for a weekend away.

Rhonda was an excellent host and her place was amazing. A very great value for a very nice house. Thanks again Rhonda!

The host canceled this reservation 53 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Fantastic accommodations! Already planning our next trip here. Rhonda was EXTREMELY helpful and always responded quickly.

Rhonda's place is really lovely! She has thought of everything you might need while away from home. Great kitchen and lots of nice gathering spaces for guests. Beds comfy and baths extremely nice. There is an occupied apartment in the basement of the home, but the upper floors are secure and private. Highly recommended!

This place was phenomenal. It had all the amenities needed for a perfect weekend getaway. The bedrooms were very well kept and the bathrooms were wonderful. We had a rather large group stay and there was no difficulty with accommodating all of us. We would each recommend this place to stay. If we ever return to Paw Paw we will most definitely be staying at the Inn.

Beautiful home near downtown Paw Paw and next to a tasty brewery (Paw Paw Brewery)! Rhonda was very welcoming and accommodating during our stay. I would definitely book this Airbnb again!

This place was beautifully kept and Rhonda is a great host. Good communication, accommodated our later arrival, and was able to tell us lots of places to go in the local area. If you want to stay up late, this place is not set up for that, as noise travels between the basement apartment (where people are living full time) and the inn. If you're after a quiet stay this place is lovely.

Great little getaway for a relaxing trip... Comfortable, clean and a great outside fire pit area and pond with wildlife! A nice local lake is right across the street! Cheryl and Ron were fantastic! There to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed!

Cheryl was a great host. She had great dinning recommendations for the area and knowing that I was traveling solo she made sure I was comfortable and felt welcomed everyday. I was in town for a fiber fest and workshops and she went out of her way to get me a place to dry some wet wool if I needed. I would stay here again easily! If I had to pick a con it would be that the location is right above the garage and the first time the garage door opened It startled me and it rattled the floor. haha, but she was very cautious about the time of day when she would open/close the door. If she came back late in the evening she just parked outside.

We were delighted with the setting of this comfortable, well-equipped home away from home. Nestled between a private pond and Maple Lake, serene and fun are the right words to describe this place. Ron and Cheryl have thought of everything including WiFi, self-serve coffee, microwave, fridge, AC, fireplace, TV/Cable, private shower/toilet, memory foam mattress, and a perfect sitting area. They have also made great outdoor space to relax in both on a private balcony overlooking the pond and also down near the pond where there is a firepit and ample seating. Birds, ducks, bubbling fountain... This is the place to go for a real get-away. We'll be back!

Amazing host's, location, and time. I plan to book with them once a year! Everything was perfect. It was better than I even thought, and I had hi expectations. Book and enjoy.

Cheryl and Ron were very thoughtful and sweet hosts. The room had a mini fridge, microwave, coffee, silverware, cups, bowls, among a variety of other very helpful amenities! They had lists and other resources to help find fun things to do as well! Their backyard scenery was beautiful and had the great option of a fire pit and hammock. I would highly recommend this hidden gem for a comfortable and accommodating stay!

Cheryl and her husband are extremely welcoming hosts. Very kind and thoughtful people. They went above and beyond to make our stay a pleasant one. The accommodations were very clean and comfortable. Great location if you are visiting local lake (Maple Lake),surrounding wineries or even some of the beautiful Michigan beaches. Its only a 30 min. drive from South Haven beach. *Tip- If you plan on enjoying the outdoors pack bug spray, due to the lakes in the area bugs are quite pesky.

We loved Cheryl and Ron's place. The separate entrance is convenient. There is a nice view of the pond. Town is a short drive away. The room is pleasant and comfortable. Better than the pictures capture! It's very clean, has nice, fluffy towels. And they left water, coffee, and popcorn for us. Definitely recommend this place!

Perfect place for a quiet get away. Lovely view of a pond and a lake. Lots of wildlife to observe and areas to have a fire or sit on a swing. Close to Southaven and had a nice dinner at La Cantina on the water. Ron and Cheryl were very nice and hospitable. Very clean and comfortable. We would recommend it for a relaxing get away.

Very excellent service and communication. Would certainly stay there again. The property was beautiful and well kept. A must if you visit Paw Paw and need to house a modernly sized retreat.

The house was even better than what we expected! We had our wedding party stay here, and the groomsmen used it as a place to get ready for the day. We had plenty of space!

We had a great time at Tim's place on Brownwood Lake. Descriptions were accurate and Tim was easy to communicate with. Not much more you can ask for in an Air BnB. We'll be back next year!

This was my first experience with AirBnB and it was absolutely fantastic. Tim was a wonderful host and anytime we contacted him he responded almost immediately. The house was more than we could have ever expected and we are already discussing staying again At this location for our next family get together.

What a fun family vacation at the Paw Paw Tiki Bar! Our kids loved jumping off the dock and going for rides in the canoe. We had two famalies with five kids total and there was plenty of room for sleeping and in the common areas. Loved the yard space for wiffle ball too! There were clean, fluffy towels laid out in each room as well as fans that were a nice touch. Loved the fully stocked kitchen with Keurig. It was nice to have the smart tv in the living room too to connect to Netflix or Amazon. We loved using the sound system to play music and roasting marshmallows in the fire pit. The grill got a lot of use as well. All in all we had a great stay and would love to come back!

Great time! The house was exactly as advertised in the pictures. The tiki bar and kitchen were great gathering areas for everyone. Dave the neighbor was extremely nice

Tim's place is great! More than enough room for all of my group! Enough space for everyone to hang out together or separate into different rooms. The lake was beautiful and we loved to kayak and just relax while listening to tunes! Neighbor Dave was friendly and helpful. This place was great and look forward to returning!

This is a great place and is highly recommended. Beautiful quite lake with a nice backyard and porch. The house was clean and had everything you could need to make meals for a big group. Plenty of beds (and they were comfortable too). We would love to come back again next year!

My family of 8 converged from Michigan, Chicago & California on Jan and Dale's coach house for a summer weekend reunion. Dale & Jan were both friendly, approachable and helpful - really couldn't ask for better hosts. The coach house was well appointed and had plenty of room for 8 adults. The spacious yard was perfect for lawn games. We also spent quite a bit of time playing volleyball with the net Jan & Dale had set-up. The pool was our other favorite hang out, although an evening bonfire on the beach is also hard to top. All in all, we had a very memorable weekend and would be quick to return to lake home for our next get together.

The Carriage House is a true gem! It has everything your family would need, the home and property are better than pictures or description. It is a well thought out home with attention to detail & well maintained. Jan and Dale are the sweetest couple. They are there to help, but are never in your way or invasive. Our family enjoyed going from the luxury pool and hot tub to the lake with a great beach area, boathouse and deck and large backyard. There is so much to do at the house to do and enjoy you will not need to leave the property. We are already counting down the days till we return!

Everything in the house seemed brand new! Many items were also already provided (dishes, cups, silverware, towels, etc.). There is a huge backyard in which the guests can play volleyball or badminton. Pool was super clean and deep enough on one side to dive in! Jan and Dale were excellent hosts. They were very approachable and were always there to help! Our group had a great time and would definitely come back again!

We had such an amazing stay! The house was even more beautiful in person than the pictures show. Jan and Dale were there to greet us when we checked in and showed us the place. We already booked for the following year because it was so wonderful!

We felt welcomed from the moment we got there. The property was very well maintained and clean. We had everything we needed for a wonderful (and much needed) family vacation.

I cannot say enough about the wonderful time we had at this lake home! We took our kids and grandkids for a family week and it was fabulous. Our hosts were the kindest, most welcoming and helpful people we could have asked for! We have already booked a trip there for next summer and cannot wait to go back!

Our family's week stay was nothing short of wonderful. Jan and Dale were incredibly thoughtful and kind hosts who went above and beyond in every way to accommodate us during our stay. The Carriage house was beautiful and comfortably housed our group of 8 adults and one baby. We loved cooking food, playing games in the backyard, swimming in the pool, and heading down to the lake. We even rented a pontoon boat for a few days and were able to use the dock down at the lake for easy access. As impressive as the house and grounds are, my family and I cannot say enough about our hosts, Jan and Dale. They are gracious and genuine and clearly have a spirit and gift of hospitality! We felt so welcome and cared for during our stay; their generosity only added to the special time we had as a family coming together from all over the country. We are so thankful for our week on 3 Mile Lake!

Our family and our friends' families that joined had a wonderful time! The hosts were so friendly! Everything you read about them from reviews is true! They were more than willing to set up some yard games for us and provide us with extra things when we needed them, even early morning on a weekend. The carriage house was the perfect getaway place. Our kids had an absolute blast in the "kids" room, especially our boys. They haven't stopped talking about it or the hot tub and pool. I was very impressed with how clean it was, I'm a clean freak and it was up to my standards. The beach was awesome for the kids and adults. We really enjoyed having the bonfire on the beach. I couldn't say enough nice things about our trip. For our first airbnb place, it will be hard to top.

We enjoyed our family time at this beautiful location. The water is perfect for quiet splashing, fishing and kayaking. The fire pits add to the outdoor experience. We enjoyed cooking or meals together in the full kitchen. We would recommend this home to families wanting some great time together.

Great property. I was a little apprehensive because the lake is "across the street" but it truly just across the yard and the street and still a private lake front. The street is not busy at all so this doesn't warrant any concern. There is a bedroom on the main floor, two upstairs and two downstairs. I do want to warn that the stairs can be tricky. The stairs up require you to stoop on your way up and down because the ceiling clearance is low. The owners indicated this in the information they provided. The owners were extremely communicative which I greatly appreciated. It was rainy and crummy our first day there so the owners sent us some additional info on things to do in Paw Paw. The lake front is perfect and we took advantage of the canoes they allowed us to use.

Deciding to take a quick last minute family trip , Christine was amazing! She found a way to get us in actually on the same day we went. The place was great. Everything is as it is described and the area is great! Everything is super clean and comfortable! I highly recommend this place. Our host answered every question within minutes.

We loved this little cottage, the basement room and bathroom were great and the charm of the century old home was wonderful. My pups loved the lake and sitting by the fire pit. We loved that it was close to my favorite winery and great restaurants, and there is a Starbucks within 10 minutes. The neighbors were quite and very nice and the communication from the owners was perfect. I would highly recommend this cottage for a family getaway. There is also cable and wifi, which was very important to me as a business owner, I can never be unplugged. :)

We had an amazing time at this beautiful lake house. The view & lake were breathtaking. We loved using the kayaks & since we were first timers, we were surprised how easy it was to drive them. The bonfire was a perfect scene for playing catch phrase around the fire. The beds were comfy and clean. We had a problem with fruit flies on our first night but John sent over the cleaning lady asap to spray and clean them up. He allowed us an early arrival and let us hang out on the beach after check out. John is very friendly & prompt. We are already planning another trip back. Thanks for everything John & Christine.

We had a great time!! The house, is super cute. It had everything we needed. The kayaks were a nice addition at no extra charge. The lake was really warm and clear. It was weedy as we were told but once you get in your floaty you never know. The washer and dryer came in handy with all the swimming clothes and towels. The 2nd bathroom was a huge plus with 7 adults. The only issues were the odor of the water, which we were aware of beforehand and brought plenty, and the comfort of the beds. We should have all tried them first instead of just picking rooms by location. (Some prefer soft, some prefer firm.) If we are ever in need of a place to stay in the area we will definitely stay again. Thank you for being so helpful and responding quickly if I had a question.

We had a very enjoyable weekend with friends here. The living room and dining room had a very open feel. The front porch was relaxing with a morning coffee and in the evening it was nice to have the option of a fire pit up by the house and one by the water. We enjoyed paddeling the kayaks on the lake and the roads in the area were nice for bike riding. Our hosts were responsive and quick to answer any questions.

Christine and John were very gracious hosts. They made us feel welcome and comfortable. The Lakehouse was the perfect place to get away, swim, paddle and have a fire.

We had a fantastic 3 day stay at Michael's property. Beautiful lake front location. The home was exactly as described, if not better. Our whole group really enjoyed our stay. The big living spaces were great for us as we had three children under 2 all playing together. Thanks Michael!

What a beautiful home! It was right on the lake and massive! Close to South Haven aand Kalamazoo. Our family had a blast. thanks again!

The home was beautiful and equipped with everything you need! There is a boating rock you can use so I would recommend renting a pontoon boat as we did. I would love to stay here again.

We just spent the week with another family in this home and had a wonderful vacation. The house is beautiful and is in excellent condition. The view of the lake is from the house was breath-taking. There was plenty of space for 2 (or even three families) and the pictures perfectly represent the property. The owner was highly responsive and had the house stocked with many amenities that made traveling easier, i.e. toilet paper, soap, laundry detergent, etc. We would definitely stay here again. There is also a dock on the property so I would encourage visitors to rent a pontoon boat so you can access the beautiful & very clean spring-fed lake.

The Anthony Manor was absolutely beautiful - from the outside it looks small and unassuming, but inside it is incredibly spacious. The two living spaces were amazing and perfect for preventing people from being too on top of each other in such a full house. The lake was a lot of fun, and the sunrises in the morning were beautiful. If we ever have a group needing a lot of space again, we are definitely going back!

Our stay at Anthony Manor was excellent. It was a spacious new lakefront property right on the water. The lake was clear and beautiful, without too much boat traffic. We brought our own fishing rods and had an awesome time catching fish all week from the dock on the property. We particularly enjoyed the back patio where we could eat and view the lake. The backyard fire pit was also great for roasting marsh mallows. The house had wonderful views of the lake from inside as well. The house was also clean and gigantic, with plenty of space for a family of 8. It had all the amenities you could want and more. For example, the 2 full-sized kitchens had all new appliances and were stocked with all the cooking supplies (pots/pans/utensils/a high-end grill/cleaning products) we needed. It made cooking large meals very easy. Other amenities we enjoyed were the great wifi connection (I ran a speedtest and it was around 80 down / 15 up at the time, which is impressive) and 3 large televisions, including a PS3, dvd player, dvds etc. Michael was an excellent host. He was very responsive, which made things easy to coordinate. Overall, we truly enjoyed staying here, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful vacation spot.

Overall a great experience for our week long rental. Southwest Michigan Lake living at its best. We liked the openness and roominess of the house. The main floor view of the lake was stunning. Everyone commented on the view and loved it. We never felt like we were stepping on each other thanks to three levels combined with open space. Big screen TVs were a hit with our young adults. Four full baths and a powder room were a reason we chose the house-worked well for our combined lake vacation and wedding in Kalamazoo. Communication with Michael was excellent and he was very responsive to any questions or needs. Thanks to Michael for the recommendation for the pontoon boat rental.

We felt like we were true guests. We had the run of the place, nothing was lacking. We were here mid-week, so maybe a lot of other families were at their 1st home, but the area was so tranquil. We want to come back here if we can.

This is our first time with Airbnb and had a wonderful experience. Jenna was a great host and we loved her place. She was very accommodating from start to end. Very kid friendly and has everything that you need.

Great location, roomy, beach was great.

We had a great time here! Hope to come back again!

Every thing here is lovely except for the water that you use inside of the house. It is the well water and the smell is not pleasant.

We enjoyed a long weekend at Jenna's lake house. The location was perfect as you are steps from the water with no road in between There was plenty of space for our large group and we had a great time kayaking, swimming, and paddle-boating on the lake. Pictures were accurate. The amenities such as a gas grill, firewood for bonfires, and a kitchen with all the necessary utensils made the stay extremely convenient. Jenna was quick to respond to our questions. We would definitely book again.

This home was amazing with a fabulous location, plenty of space and excellent accommodations. The home has everything you need. Jenna was a wonderful host and very attentive, made sure we got in OK and answered all of our questions. There were tons of options outdoors perfect for both kids and adults. We will definitely book again!!

Great place for the whole family to get away from city life!

I've fantasized about visiting Lily Hill Farm ever since I read the Elves book years and years ago. I finally had my chance and it totally lived up to my imaginings. While the grapes are no longer in production, the vines remain accompanied by the voluntary plants of secondary succession and they grow together in love. Love flows out of this landscape from all nooks and crannies. The years of Penny's tenure are quite evident. As for the interior accommodations they were what you would expect of a first rate retreat center. I had no one to share them with at the time of my visit so I had a large bedroom and private bath all to myself. Plenty of pastured farm fresh eggs were available and although Spring was only just beginning to arrive at the time of my visit I was able to forage a delicious green salad by sneaking into the greenhouse for a few leaves and picking among the many edible weeds growing in the landscape around the house. No worries that anything may have been sprayed! I only stayed two nights but I would have enjoyed a week.

Wonderful evening at the farm! Our room was large, comfortable and had everything we needed. Penny was warm and friendly, and showed us around the massive kitchen and common areas. What a treat to be there. Felt like family! Will book here again for a longer time.

Great space, great host.

Cheryl is a great host and was very responsive to the questions we had. We really enjoyed the place, and having it walking distance to the lake. It was nice to be able to cook and have a fire each night, and enjoy the quiet surrounding space. We were even able to see some fireworks from a neighbor on the lake. We would stay here again.

The host canceled this reservation 37 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

The place is beautiful, they are very nice they even gave us an anniversary card and gift. Overall it was just so relaxing.

Cheryl's place is on a sweet little lake, and she was, as a host, very attentive to our needs--full of suggestions for things to do in the area. We didn't have a chance to use the kayaks, but it would have been fun. The cottage made a good base from which to explore the area, and we enjoyed both the front deck and the pretty little patio out back for our meals.

Just wanted to say thank you to Cheryl and her husband they were both very kind-hearted and wonderful host. This was my first Airbnb home and I absolutely loved it. Their home is beautiful and the lake is absolutely gorgeous I went up there with two of my girlfriends for just a weekend getaway and we all loved it. Communication between Cheryl and her husband was great any questions that we had were answered upon check-in plenty of fun things to do around Michigan as well as Chicago. We will definitely be staying here again.

We really loved hanging out on the deck enjoying the beautiful lake view and wildlife. The cabin had everything that we needed. Grocery stores were a short drive in to town. The lake and neighborhood were really quiet and peaceful. We ate dinner at Red's Root Beer one night and were in awe at the size of the foot long hot dog! No wonder they offered half servings.

Great small home on a beautiful lake. Only about 20 minutes from downtown Kalamazoo. Communication from host was great, and she was flexible when we had to make an emergency last minute change to our plans.

We stayed at Patti's brand new, super clean lake house while visiting our daughter in Kalamazoo. This lakefront property was perfect for our visit, and really made it a great vacation. We are so glad we chose it rather than a hotel or an apartment. The weekdays were very quiet, and the weekend was buzzing with neighboring families and children having a blast on the lake. Patti is a kind and accommodating host. She offers a gorgeous spot on the lake, about 20 minutes from downtown. The pictures are accurate, but it's even better in person. Thank you so very much, Patti! Your home provided us a beautiful and comfortable space to spend family time together and make some great memories.

What a wonderful time we had in this beautiful house. It was everything we hoped for and even more. Our boys loved to play in the lake and the sand all day long. We enjoyed the paddle boat, paddle boards and kayaks. The beds are really comfortable (even for tall Dutch people) and the kitchen is well equiped. Our boys really enjoyed the Wii on the afternoon we had rain. Patti is a very helpfull host and makes you feel more then welcome in her cosy lake house. We really recommend this place to spend the holidays.

This charming lake house with lots of air and light was a delight to stay in. The photos are just how it looks: comfy bedrooms, inviting living room, modern kitchen. The neighborhood and lake are quiet and remote (but just 20 minutes from downtown Kalamazoo). Clean and well-stocked with amenities. Patricia was a great communicator and made us feel at home. Great place for a small group — we'll hope to stay here for our next reunion!

This beautiful home was a wonderful place for a weekend getaway! Even though the weather was crummy and we didn't get to take advantage of the outdoor space, we love our stay at the eagle lake house and can't wait to get back! Lyft and Uber were available to take us to and from downtown Kalamazoo.

Truly beautiful cottage with an amazing view of the lake. It was so relaxing to just be in the cottage, it was everything I had hoped for: clean, contemporary, & full of natural light. Patricia was a fabulous host, very responsive & inspirational. The area is convenient to all the local attractions. We can't wait to stay here again!

Great little cottage! It is bigger than it appeared in the photos from my perspective. Nice size to even entertain a few guests and all be comfortable. Well equipped kitchen with modern updates and touches throughout. Very glad we stayed. Thanks!

We absolutely loved our time at the beach house! It was beautiful, the space was perfect, and our little people loved the sand and water, even in October! :) It was seriously one of our best vacations. It was a quiet area, and Patti was very responsive when we had questions. We definitely recommend it and hope to be back.

Great host! You get the privacy you want. Lots of living place. Would definitely recommend.

This house was extremely wonderful! It was just as pictured, if not even nicer. The host Madeline was very friendly and accommodating, and answered texts quickly. The space says it's shared, but really you get the whole bottom of the house to yourself with a private kitchen and bathroom. It's also only about 10-15 minutes from some nice places to eat. The only problem we encountered was a minor bug issue. The basement is of course on the ground level right next to the woods, so some bugs were coming in under the door. That's to be expected in the late summer. However, when I told the host she quickly offered to vacuum around the place and called pest control to spray around the house which was very nice. Other than that everything was perfect and I would definitely recommend this place, its a great value for the price!

Madeline's Airbnb is superb. Clean, spacious, and very comfortable. We had a delightful stay. I highly recommend her place to anyone!

A really nice space for travelers and families. Many thoughtful amenities

You won't be disappointed. Madeline's place is very clean, comfortable and much larger than it appears in photos. We needed to break up our driving trip, and this was an excellent experience and place to stay.

We had a great time here. Michael was quick to answer all of my questions. It was a wonderful home for a weekend getaway. Our only complaint was the shower door was broken the day we arrived. It was tough for 10 people to share one shower. Somehow we did manage. I would recommend staying here.

Thanks for a wonderful home for our vacation! I would highly recommend this home for families! My husband and I invited our 2 children, their spouses and our 4 grandchildren to vacation together. We loved the beautiful beach and warm water, calm lake!! We were delighted by what we found! The use of the kayaks were amazing and we thought the lake was beautiful! We enjoyed evening fires and marshmallows on the beach! I highly recommend this home! Linda and Michael were great hosts and promptly answered our questions.

The lake and the beach were great and the kids had fun but the quality of the house was way below what I expected considering what we paid. The beds were so uncomfortable and the sheets so itchy that my wife and I hated going to bed. Pillow options included hard as a rock or flat as a pancake. Spider and bug sitings daily throughout the house. Water shut off at least once each day while one of us was in the shower, something to do with the well water pump, it was a simple fix each time but annoying none the less. The back door didnt lock which was a big issue for us given our young children. The 'toiletries' the description said would be supplied turned out to be cheap single use bottles of made in china shampoo the owners must have swiped from the housekeepng cart during their last motel stay. Granted this was my first time using Airbnb so maybe our experience was 'normal'. However if it was I won't be a repeat customer. Vacations are supposed to be relaxing right? It was just so frustrating tossing and turning all night because of the crappie bedding and then have the water shutoff halfway through your morning shower. I was hoping for a better experience, that's all. If you decide to rent this house your kids will have fun playing in the lake, but bring your own air mattress, sheets, pillows, and toiletries.

My husband and I along with our adult children and grandaughters stayed at Michaels lakehouse and had a very relaxing week Our trip was our first to Michigan and we liked the location of this lakehouse Our favorites about the lakehoouse include the fabulous view of the lake from the dining area, the patio looking over the lake and the new dock for fishing and the kayaks. Our host and his mom Linda were VERY helpful. Also the yard was darling with lots of flowers. We had a memorable vacation and would recomend this lakehouse

The host canceled this reservation 24 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

While we enjoyed our stay there, after the stay Michael sent us a large and unsubstantiated bill for a specific amount for damage he perceived we caused to his vinyl couch. It was a very suspicious request, as his numbers were not associated in any way with actual estimates of costs for repairs. When asked for repair estimates, he acted shocked that it could even be repaired, and he came up with an estimate that included 4 hours of travel costs despite the fact that there are plentiful repair facilities within a short drive of his home. We told Michael that members of our party were very clear that this damage was already there when we arrived, and he has denied that. Given his suspicious behavior in how he handled this, I'm not sure if he's simply made a mistake or if his motives are more sinister. Either way we will NOT be coming back to stay in his otherwise nice house.

The house on Crooked Lake was fantastic. Beautiful home, with beautiful views of the water and surrounding landscape. We took a family of 6 which was perfect. The owners were very accommodating and pleasant to work with.

The house really was amazing, as was our host. The home is very big (bigger than it looks like in the pictures), and the beach was perfect for our little children, esp. our 2yr old who could splash in the clean and clear shallow waters. Everything was clean, and during the week the lake was quiet so we had lots of privacy. I would definitely come back here again.

This is a great house right on the lake. We came with two families total 8 people. We took full advantage of the amenities she had for us like the rowboat, paddleboat and tubes. We rented a boat through Leaders RPM and had a great experience with them as well. They delivered the boat to our lake. Joanne, the host, was very helpful throughout our entire stay and even before our stay. She gave us great tips for restaurants and stores nearby. All you need to do is bring your clothes with you she has everything there for you from the towels to a fully stocked kitchen. Highly recommend.

Everything was clean safe and just what my family needed

We had three families-13 people total-stay in this home. It was cozy! From the beginning and throughout our stay, Joanne was very quick to respond to any questions we had, and was easy to work with! Inside-the kitchen was ample and accommodating. Plenty of dishes, pots, pans, etc. The appliances all worked well. The bathrooms worked well and were also stocked with plenty of towels and some extras in case essentials were left at home. We had all the kids sleep in the porch room together and they loved it! We brought a firestick so they could watch movies each night since there is no cable. This property does have fantastic WIFI. Many devices were on it-sometimes streaming movies and we didn't run into any glitches. The signal also reached outside to the bonfire pit-to pick songs to play throughout the night-we brought a portable speaker. On the note of the bonfire-there was plenty of seating and tons of firewood!! Outside the deck seating was awesome! There was so much room for everyone to hang out together. The kids loves playing in the sand and fishing with nets or poles off the dock. Tubes, an aquaglide raft, row boat and plenty of sand toys. We had rented a boat and there was plenty of room to dock it. We also used the public beach which was perfect for afternoon swimming in the sun. There was also a floating platform our kids loves to jump off of. I would recommend this place for anyone who is looking for an authentic lake experience!

My cousins and I enjoyed our stay at Joanne's. It was a great set-up for young kids (ages 3 through 7), and the outdoor spaces were excellent! We spent a lot of time playing in their sand pile, catching fish in buckets off of the dock, sitting around the campfire, going out on the row boat and paddle boat, and eating in the screened-in tent on the porch. The inside space was adequate, and it was great to have an on-site washer and dryer to clean the towels and swimsuits that were used daily. Joanne was receptive to feedback and prompt in her responses.

Plenty of sleeping areas, beautiful deck but the gazebo could use lighting. Waterfront un-swimable but to have a paddle, tow boat and floating tubes. Bring lots of insect repellent.

This was our first airbnb experience and it set the bar very high for future stays on other properties. The apartment was spacious, clean, and beautifully appointed with everything you would need for a comfortable stay. After a long day at a local horse show we were able to come home to a beautiful view of the lake, then relax in a comfortable space with a recliner sofa, fireplace, even a massage chair. The bed was super comfy and we felt completely at ease there. Markus and Tim are fabulous hosts and pay close attention to every detail. We only hoped to have had more time to enjoy the property. This will surely be our first choice next time we are in the Decatur area!

Our stay was amazing!!! Markus and Tim were so accommodating and sweet!! We plan to return, it was spectacular, highly recommend!!

Markus and Tim are wonderful hosts and the place is beautiful! It's very well appointed, incredibly comfortable, spacious, and situated right on the lake! Between the hot tub, fireplace, kayaks, and grill it's easily a year-round romantic destination! It's situated with a rear private entrance and everything from the actual location to the space itself is private and secluded! From the moment we arrived we felt like we were at a resort for the cost of a cheap hotel! We can't wait to come back!

We would highly recommend Markus and Tim's Romantic Couples Getaway. We've always stayed at a lake home for our family's summer vacation in Northern Wisconsin. We decided to give Southwestern Michigan a chance. We're very glad we did. We stayed here for a quiet anniversary getaway. WOW! Their place is awesome! Beautiful landscaped grounds, well furnished lower level, our own private entrance, hot tub, kayaks for quiet time on the lake, swans, turtles, deer, geese, and so much more. There are plenty of wineries and breweries within a short driving distance, and the Lake Michigan shoreline is only 30 minutes away. We were lucky enough to enjoy a pontoon boat ride around the lake and we were greeted with cinnamon rolls on our last day. Markus and Tim are terrific hosts and we look forward to coming back to their wonderful home. Thank you for the memories.

The perfect place for two people to enjoy the peacefulness, privacy and an awesome lake view. The interior was immaculate and tastefully decorated. The intimate patio table and chairs for two is surrounded by a well groomed landscape with a beautiful stone waterfall where we had our morning coffee and conversations. We enjoyed the lake by kayaking every morning, a great way to charge up your Chi! Markus and Tim were very accommodating and very accessible for any of our needs. Their dining recommendations were awesome and we enjoyed our best Thai dinner ever at Chinn Chinn (Twice in 3 night!) Overall rating for this Airbnb is 10 out of 10.

All we can say about our stay at Markus and Tim’s residence is WOW!!! The private entrance leads to a very spacious area that was designed to make you feel at home. A binder in the front room with informative information answered all our questions. Follow the recommended restaurants, you won't be sorry. Everything was a short distance from the location. With an open view of the lake, every morning was filled with a delightful sunrise. The landscape is something to be admired. A short walk to the lake is perfect for romantic evenings watching the sunset with a bottle of wine. We used the hot tub which was beneficial after spending a day in South Haven. Totally relaxing

Definitely the best AirBnB we've ever been in. We came here just a few days after our wedding for a "MiniMoon" and it was perfect. Markus and Tim went above and beyond to make sure we were pampered and we're comfortable. Their property was beautiful... Kayaking, the hot tub, the stars at night, their little water fall, their perfect lawn, it was all great. They also live about a 20 minute walk from town if you don't feel like driving or want to go to the brewery. We would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a romantic getaway and it was perfect for us.
