Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
The Colonial House was a wonderful place for our family to stay. The beds were comfortable as was the large couch in the family room. Bathrooms and bedrooms were all very clean. The house had plenty of space for 10 people. The kitchen was incredibly well stocked with all the utensils, Tupperware and accessories we needed. The additional amenities including pickle ball, basketball, paddle boards and more were a welcome enhancement to our stay. And all the outside and porch seating was great for enjoying the lake view. Host communion was very timely and responsive. Thank for hosting our stay.

Every room was immaculate. Well furnished home and had just about every tool and device you could think of in the kitchen. Tons of things to do with basketball, pickleball, kayak and paddle boards. At night, we picked from the dozen or so board games and hung out on the screened in back porch or in the gazebo. We had ten guests and still had room for most of us to be on the dock fishing. The bass were biting and the kids loved every minute of the trip. We rented a boat from a local place Platinum Rentals. The staff was amazing there as well. We took two quick day trips, one to South Haven and the other to St Joseph. Both were within 25 minutes. The host was very responsive and friendly. We hope to book again next summer (maybe sooner) to bring the whole family back to Paw Paw Lake.
