We loved our second stay at this house. Itâs always a relaxing time, just sitting by the water, paddle boarding, kayaking, fishing and swimming. We couldnât keep our water-loving dog out of the lake! We had everything we needed to cook dinner and breakfast each day, and watched movies as a family each night. My two cautions are that the main bed is small and not very comfortable, and the shower water pressure is pretty low. But this home really is a deal for all it offers.
The size of the cottage was perfect for our family (4 people and 1 small dog). We loved the view of the lake from the dining room and living room. There are plenty of things to do around the cottage or within a short drive. We especially loved the kayaks, paddle boards and raft available to use. Overall we had a great time and will keep this cottage in mind for future trips!
Charming cottage. You can tell this cottage is loved and well cared for. You could see the updates. I was impressed with all the supplies they gave you to start off. Usually you might get 1tp roll and 1 paper towel roll, no soap. Amenties included 2 kayaks, 2 paddleboards, inflated boat, float pad thingy, fishing pole, charcoal bbq, fire pit, beach towels. Centrally located to tons of towns- holland, south haven, st joseph, Kalamazoo, etc.... honestly, though if you just want low key and no crowds, you have everything right at the cottage. My husband and son caught tons of bass. 4 were over 3 lbs. They caught couple fish a day. Fenced yard on 2 sides. Our bulldog was able to enjoy being outside with us! Quick and easy communication with Bart. Highly recommend!!!
We have stayed on maple lake a few times before but I have to say that Bart's place was the best, it is very clean relaxing and beautifully decorated and the view of the lake is the best..My favorite time was taking my coffee on the deck early in the morning and watching the sun come up. Bart and his family are very blessed to have such a beautiful place and I hope we can come back.
As usual, we had a wonderful time at this lovely cottage. Bart was very responsive as usual too. We love that he put a ladder going into the water--it helps alot (also it was my favorite place to drink my morning coffee.) We didn't go fishing but saw a lot of fish popping out of the water. You Looking forward to going back again next year!!!
We spent a wonderful week in this charming lakefront cottage and loved every minute. Sweet cabin with everything you need, beautiful view overlooking the water, even several swans. Great fishing from the dock, water is clean and clear. Fabulous host reached out when storms were expected to make sure we didn't need anything. We would love to stay again, even our dog would give it 5 stars!
We had another wonderful stay at this Maple Lake cottage! This was our 4th time staying here⊠We have family in the same neighborhood so very convenient for us. Bonus is itâs pet friendly!! Will be back again!!
My husband and I loved staying at this cottage for Memorial weekend with our dog Buddy. It was so cute and peaceful there. The fishing was great and the views were amazing. The neighbors were very friendly and we had such a wonderful time. We would love to come back and visit in the future.
Beautiful property with all the amenities! This home is clean, comfortable & meets every need. The deck is fantastic with an outstanding view of the lake! We were lucky to have perfect weather & spend most all our time outdoors, but if not there were movies, games, puzzles & a large dining table to gather indoors. Friendly neighbors & a great town. Plenty of great restaurants nearby & wineries too!
This is an amazing little cottage on the lake! I could not believe how quiet and peaceful it was there! The cottage matched the listing to the T and was very clean and comfortable. My only regret is that I had to work so much during my stay I had very little time to relax in this amazing oasis!
Staying at Bartâs place was an incredible experience. The location is absolutely beautiful, right next to the lake â peaceful, scenic, and perfect for a relaxing getaway. The place itself was spotless, cozy, and even better than we expected. Bart is a truly wonderful host; heâs thoughtful, kind, and genuinely cares about making sure you have the best stay possible. I canât recommend his place enough and would definitely love to come back!
This cottage is Exceptionally Beautiful a and a very nice place to stay. Situated only minutes from restaurants, stores, parks and Interstate access.A nice cozy spot with plenty amenities and a very gracious host.Already Planning Another Visit!!!!
This is an excellent place to stay! The cottage was very clean and well-supplied with everything I needed. Property and local information was readily available and in plain sight. There are movies and books also available for enjoying. I was there during a snow storm, and the drive and walks were all cleared early in the morning. Even the neighbors are friendly here!
We enjoyed our stay at the cottage with the wonderful view of the lake. Quiet and peaceful just minutes away from wineries, breweries and restaurants. The cottage was cozy for us and the dogs, while we had snow during our stay would be a great place to come during the summer.
The property was just as described! What quaint cottage with beautiful views of Maple Lake. It had everything that we needed. It was very thoughtfully appointed and even included everything for our furry friend! Simple, clean and comfortable! The location was also great as we went sightseeing to nearby South Haven and Holland. The Kal-Haven trail was just up the road so we had a nice walk. What a great place!
This was our 3rd stay at this cottage. Really enjoyed the upgrades since our last stay. New deck and slider door, new smart TVâs, new washer and dryer and new couch and chair. Love the fact that this property is pet friendly!
We have family in the area so this location was perfect for our visit with them!
We came to stay for an extended weekend to celebrate our anniversary with our dog. It was the perfect stay. The house is well furnished and included extra amenities for your dog(s) as well. The house was very clean. Being right on the lake was beautiful and made for great mornings sitting on the deck looking out over the lake. There was good restaurants in town and great hiking trails all within 20 minutes. I would highly recommend this location and would come stay again!
This was such a wonderful and surprising find for us. We needed a place to stay for the weekend for a birthday celebration in nearby Kalamazoo. To start, the cottage is the cleanest rental we have ever stayed in. Very tastefully decorated and has all the amenities one would need. You just canât beat the view of the lake. The location is nice and we were able to walk our dog in the park close by each morning. It was convenient and fun to visit the little town of Paw Paw. It is in close proximity to Kalamazoo, and South Haven if one wants to venture out for a day trip. LaCatina, Red Dog Root Beer Stand are just a couple of the restaurants available.We ate pizza on the deck and watched the ducks and swans swim by. We savored the little time we had just to sit by the waters edge and enjoy the serenity of it all. Unfortunately on this visit, we didnât get to spend much time at the cottage due to the birthday festivities in Kalamazoo. We sure hope to get back there for a full fledged vacation. Hands down, we would recommend this home for a delightful stay.
First time we've booked a vacation property and everything was perfect from beginning to end. Property was exactly as described, pristinely clean and very comfortable and homey. Provided amenities were very thoughtful. Everyone enjoyed the cottage and we're already ready to book again. Well done, hosts!
