Welcome to Our Beautiful Vacation Home with Breathtaking Views of Paw Paw Lake

This stunning home not only offers awe-inspiring views of Paw Paw Lake but also serves as your perfect getaway destination. Whether you’re looking to unwind or gather with friends and family, this property is sure to meet all your expectations. We rent a dock from our neighbor, so please feel free to inquire about dock access for your boat.

This charming Cape Cod-style home is designed to maximize the breathtaking lake views and features an exceptional floor plan. The newer construction boasts five spacious bedrooms and four full bathrooms, providing 3,000 square feet of living space across three levels. Every bedroom offers a stunning view of Paw Paw Lake! Additionally, the balcony and large patio overlooking the lake create an ideal setting for summer entertaining.

The home is thoughtfully designed to take full advantage of the picturesque surroundings. The kitchen, equipped with new appliances and a convenient snack bar, opens up to the dining area and flows seamlessly into the inviting living space. Large sliding doors lead out to the deck, perfect for hosting gatherings on a grand scale. The finished lower level walk-out features a spacious family room complete with a pool table and ping pong table, ensuring endless fun for indoor activities!

Prime Location for Water Activities and Relaxation

Our vacation home is situated in an excellent location, just a block away from public access to the lake and two public boat launches within a mile. This is the perfect retreat for family and friends to gather and relax by the beautiful Paw Paw Lake, the largest inland all-sports lake in Southwest Michigan!

*Public Access: Forest Beach Park is just one block away, featuring a small, swimmable beach with access to kayaks, canoes, and paddleboards.

*Wedding Venues: Close to several local wedding venues, including Mill Creek Barn and Blue Dress Barn, making it convenient for attending or hosting weddings.

*Parks and Recreation: Just one mile from Hays Park and Paw Paw River County Park, where you can easily launch kayaks and canoes. Enjoy hiking and fishing on the 14-acre island, which includes a playground, skate park, basketball court, and baseball diamond. The Paw Paw Lake River Trail is a wonderful spot for water sports—rent a kayak, tube, or canoe in town and spend a delightful day on the river trail.

*Golf Course: Only a 3-minute drive to the gorgeous Paw Paw Lake Golf Course.

*Water Park: Just 5 minutes away from Surfari Joe’s Indoor Water Park.

*Wineries and Breweries: Explore the local wineries and breweries in the area, including two native wineries in town that are part of the Southwest Michigan Wine Country Trail.

*Beach Getaways: Only 15 minutes to Silver Beach in St. Joseph along Lake Michigan, 20 minutes to South Haven’s North and South Beaches, and 35 minutes to Oval Beach and the sand dunes in Saugatuck.

*Ice Fishing: A popular winter activity, as the channels freeze sooner and stay frozen longer than the open lakes.

*Orchard Visits: In mid to late summer and early fall, visit local orchards to pick your own peaches, apples, and pumpkins, and enjoy hayrides during the harvest festival!

We warmly welcome you to our lovely vacation home. If you’re interested in a shorter stay than our posted minimum nights, please inquire—we’re happy to customize a rate for you!

Perfect for a large group

This is our second time staying at this Watervleit home. It is very comfortable and fits our group perfectly. Everything was there when we arrived and the kitchen is well stocked. They even have had a Christmas tree each December to make the house festive. Easy uncomplicated stay.

Good week long stay

The pictures did not lie. The house was very clean and the owner was responsive. The 2 decks were great for relaxing. Made trips to St Joseph (downtown is great), Holland (Windmill Island Gardens), Grand Rapids (Fredrik Meijer Gardens and Sculpture Gardens) and Sageutuck (paddle boat). Went to 3 beaches on Lake Michigan and saw a couple of lighthouses. The faults: -No wash rag in mbr -Towels were extremely thin -Dock on lake for swimming was about a block walk _No Keurig

Came on a small vacation with a family group. The house is incredible with plenty of space even with twelve of us. Communication with the host was fast and check in was very easy.

Awesome Gathering Space

Our group has been traveling together for several years as our daughters on part of a horse back riding team. This is the first time we have all stayed in a house together. Lakeside was perfect for our four families-each parent had a room and bathroom and the girls a bunk room. Everything was clean and check in was easy. The owner is quick to respond to any questions or needs. The views from the kitchen/living room are amazing. As a bonus they had a Christmas tree that made it festive!

Lake Time

We enjoyed the amenities of the house. The sunsets from the back deck were gorgeous. Having a pool table downstairs was fun for everyone. The fire pit was nice on the cool evening. Having access to a dock was nice also since we had rented a boat. The kitchen had everything we needed to make meals. The only item is the second floor bathroom needs better lighting to see when you are getting ready in the morning. Other than that it was great.

A wonderful place for a get away

A short walk to the small beach, with warm, shallow water, which is great for kids. There is also grass and shade there, which we found helpful. We enjoyed the kayak, bikes, and beach toys. The view of the lake from the deck and living rooms are great. We loved this spacious home. Our host was very responsive.

Great for family holiday gathering

Great property for the family to meet. There were nine of us for dinner and plenty of room at the dining table. Great views of the lake and a quiet neighborhood. Really enjoyed our stay. My only “nit” is the soft water and dry air really did a number on my skin and hands. I recommend bringing a humidifier if you’re prone to dry skin.

Amazing view needs some updates, attention to the outside experience, great responsiveness.

We stayed for my mom's memorial service because she grew up on Paw Paw Lake. Overall our experience was excellent, the view was amazing and we enjoyed ourselves as much as we could considering the occasion. Improvements neec to be made in the following areas: the grill did not work well, we put a tenderloin on, and, after 30 minutes it had to be moved to the oven. The broiler also did not work in the oven. The refrigerator leaked and we could not get that fixed so had to place paper towels in the freezer and the refrigerator. It would have been nice to know this The weather was beautiful so it would have been nice to have some form of cleanup on the decks outside so we could have enjoyed the outdoor seating area.
