Lake Life Awaits with Boat Pier, Beach, Hot Tub, Parking on Paw Paw Lake

Live the Lake Life at Bayview, our NEWLY appointed lake house with a boat pier for your boat, a hot tub, large patio, sandy beach, and large dock on Paw Paw Lake. Steeped in history as a go-to resort area, our home is named in honor of the Bay View Hotel, which once stood on the sandy shores of our bay.

Welcome to our spacious 4.5-bedroom lakefront retreat on Paw Paw Lake! There's room for everyone and everything to enjoy being on Lake Time!

We have a great room with a gourmet-lover's kitchen, spacious dining table, sofa lounge area and big screen smart TV for games and movies. The spacious outdoor patio has a table fire pit, dining area, grill, and brand new hot tub. Our fresh, new, furniture and appliances will make your stay so enjoyable and easy.

Our house comfortably sleeps 12 guests. Four bedrooms have 8 beds accommodating 9 guests. Two of the bedrooms convert to king or two XL twin beds, creating fantastic flexibility. A single sleeper couch and a queen sleeper sofa sleep 3 additional guests, making Bayview the perfect spot for 12 guests.

Relax on the lakeside patio with multiple seating and dining areas, complete with a gas grill. A small wooden gate leads out to a sandy beach where you can ease one of our 4 kayaks into the lake for an relaxed afternoon of paddling.

You can rent paddle boards, kayaks, and pontoons/boats, or bring your own boat – a public boat launch nearby and you can moor your boat on our permanent pier. Please let the hosts know if you will use the dock for a boat so they can inform the seasonal dock renters to move their boat.

Our house has a FREE PARKING LOT directly across the street to easily accomodate all of your guest's vehicles.

Explore the nearby attractions, such as the many breweries, wineries and distilleries in the area, the town of Coloma, famous for its Gladiola Peach Festival, Lake Michigan beaches, area golf courses, and the charming towns of St. Joseph and South Haven, which many restaurants, shops and kid's activities.

Southwest Michigan has so many things to choose from, including shopping, bicycling, sailing, hiking, parks, museums, and more.

We're centrally located between many wedding venues, and ideal for wedding guests, couples, and bachelorette weekends. Ask us about wedding-weekend stays and local venue proximity.

Come and make lasting memories at our Paw Paw Lake retreat!l

Lovely home right on Paw Paw Lake, and a great spot for family stays. The host is incredibly responsive, and the house is equipped with everything you need to have a fun vacation. The backyard and dock are cozy and offer a nice place to swim. Loved it!

Perfect spot! The house was super clean, and the amenities were exactly what we needed. We had a wonderful stay and would recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway.The only downside was that the dock is leased to others, so there were people walking through the yard throughout the day and even at night, which felt a little uncomfortable at times. Also, if you rent a boat, you aren’t able to use the dock, so that’s something to keep in mind when planning your trip.Overall, it was a great place to stay, and we really enjoyed our time there!

Perfect getaway

The property is in great condition and well taken care of. You won’t regret spending your vacation here. Be sure to check out the “Paw Paw Lake Love” Facebook group for local boat rentals at cheaper than commercial price if you’re looking for something larger than the kayaks on property!

The Vrbo is well stocked and has many amenities such as kitchen spices, two fridges, professional gas cooking stove, washer and dryer, outdoor grill, hot tub, outdoor patio furniture, dock, and many more wonder features such as phone chargers. We really enjoyed the four kayaks, life jackets, and outside toys. The lake was shallow enough along the dock for small kids to play. There is an additional parking area across the road in very close proximity. The owners were fantastic communicators. What a wonderful home for our perfect family vacation.

The property was immaculate! The house has everything you could need and we were able to have a very relaxing vacation with some family friends. we rented a boat on Saturday and had access to the dock, which was so helpful. The hosts Gina and Keith were great with communication and responded so quickly. I would recommend this VRBO to any family and friends. Thanks for hosting us :) We kept seeing a family of swans throughout our time and the kids and adults loved the kayaks.

This property did not disappoint! Everything was clean and properly stocked! There was a smooth check in process and the major downfall was that we did not want to leave! I wish the bed was more comfortable though.. it was way too firm, otherwise no complaints!
