Cozy cottage with lots of history
We had a wonderful time. The house is cozy and has lots of character. It has a pretty location and we enjoyed the fire. Only suggestion: it's in need of a little tlc.

Great Cottage
Cottage is actually nicer than it appears on the site! It was clean, charming and comfortable. And, one of the extra lovely bits was that there is NOT a huge "to-do" list that they ask you to complete when leaving. Highly recommend!

Best vacation stay ever.
This cottage was an amazing location to paw paw lake and to St. Joseph/South Haven, etc. The place was immaculately clean, comfortable beds, fully stocked kitchen and shower. Amazing hot water and water pressure was excellent. Host was quick to respond and we had no issues when we stayed. We would most definitely stay here again. Wanting to book again for next summer! Such a gem of a place. Thank you!

Family retreat
We came for a memorial service all the way from Florida. The home was just as listed. It was a great place for 5 adults and 3 kids to stay. There were some yard toys that the kids enjoyed having access to. The firpit was also a great way to enjoy some family time. Overall we really enjoyed the home and the experience. I hope to be back again in the future!

Overall great stay
The property was very nice, vintage little home. Lots to like and appreciate. Things of note: the home was closer to a busy road than I had assumed. It was still quiet inside. The only lake access nearby is a fire lane across the street. It's rocky and shallow there, so not great for fishing. The house had window air units that had trouble keeping up on our hottest days. The sunroom bedroom got pretty warm. Overall, we had a really great stay. The communication with Nick was great and always swift.

Good location for a long weekend
Enjoyed being close to lakes. We kayak at little paw paw lake twice. Nice clean home close to stores and restaurants. Had an issue with leak from a storm and Nick sent someone over right away to inspect. It was very important to us that we can bring our dog and Nick is very accommodating thank you Nick.

Historic Coloma Cottage
Nick's warm welcome and recommendations were helpful and made us feel at home. We were also just comfortable beyond expectation at the cottage, which was desperately needed after all the dune hiking. The beds and seating arrangements were perfect, everything was clean, the yard was open and beautifully kept, and included an easy fire pit. We used it to roast hot dogs and marshmallows our first night there. We were also able to enjoy a long sit on the porch with our dog, thanks to a friendly-looking doggie safety gate. Nick provided access to inflatable kayaks, paddles, and life preservers, which we used on Paw Paw Lake. We would love to come and stay again.
