We had a nice stay at this cottage. It had everything we needed for a comfortable vacation. It really is just a few steps from the lake. We were delighted to have kayaks there available for our use. We had a great blue heron, a family of 5 swans, and a cormorant visit our dock. We enjoyed hiking in some nearby nature preserves, and took day trips to South Haven and Holland. The smart TVs were nice for evening relaxing. Overall a nice spot for an enjoyable vacation.

We loved our second stay at this house. It’s always a relaxing time, just sitting by the water, paddle boarding, kayaking, fishing and swimming. We couldn’t 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.

Gorgeous View

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!!!

A real gem on Maple Lake

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.

Great time!

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!!!

Sweet Paw Paw cabin

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!

Mother's day weekend at the lake!

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!

Fantastic Cottage by the Lake

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!
