Summary: We enjoyed our stay here and wanted to stay longer! The house is comfortable and beautiful- the feel of indoor / outdoor living is great with huge sliding doors to the deck. We were saying the pictures do not do the house justice! Even better in person. This would be great for people with kids of all ages. We would definitely want to stay again! BJ was amazing and proactive checking in to see how the stay was. Easy to communicate with. 10/10 for everything.

Summary: Wow! What a fantastic property. We've stayed in many rentals over the years, and this one truly had everything we needed. The house was incredibly well-stocked and immaculately clean, with the most comfortable beds we've ever experienced in a rental. Our group ranged in age from 2 to 69, and there was something for everyone. The swing set was perfect for the little kids, while the older kids loved playing on the lily pad in the water. The adults had a blast playing corn hole. Renting the boat was incredibly convenient and ready for us upon arrival. We spent a lot of the week boating and swimming in the deeper water. BJ was very responsive to any needs we had, making our stay even more enjoyable. We can’t wait to go back!

Summary: This lake house is lovely! It is very spatious and has everything you need for an enjoyable lake vacation. We rented the pontoon boat and spent a lot of time on the lake taking our 18-22 year old kids tubing and swimming. We enjoyed the area above the garage as well. The basketball net in the driveway was also a big hit. There is a nice sandy beach area at the house that would be great for younger children. Our family had a wonderful time and would definitely stay here again.

Summary: The pictures do not even do it justice. This house was so tastefully done - warm and welcoming. It had absolutely EVERYTHING we needed and more. We felt like we were staying at a luxury hotel! We had a total of 12 in our family and it was perfect for us. The Grandkids especially loved the tree house - tubing and skiing. The lake was beautiful. BJ responded almost immediately to our every need and concern - it was such a pleasure dealing with him throughout the entire process. We are already considering renting this beautiful house for next year. Thank you for everything! Barb

Summary: We spent a week enjoying this property with our children and grandchildren. It's a beautiful home and the lake was great. It's a spacious property. The little ones enjoyed the sand beach and the shallow water, and everyone enjoyed boat rides and tubing. A large dining table accommodated the whole group and it was so nice to have the whole group together. We were very impressed with the supplies provided. We also appreciated the upstairs and downstairs washers and dryers and the two dishwashers. We had reason to contact the owner and received a quick response and resolution to inquiries. The lake was quiet and the neighbors were so nice. Can't overstate that the house is so well stocked. BJ was very accommodating and friendly. We hated to leave and highly recommend!

Summary: This is a 5 star property... super clean, lots of amenities, well stocked, comfortable, and the host is very communicative and responsive. I would definitely recommend this lake house to others. The house has everything guests need and more. We had a fabulous week here! There are only a few things that could have made our stay better. PROS: The neighbors and other lake residents were kind and helpful. There are lots of towels and extra linens (often lacking in rentals); Plenty of toilet paper, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, soap, etc.; Everything you could possibly need for cooking; Rooms and beds are well-appointed and comfortable. The game room was a hit with the kids! We all loved the egg chairs on the deck, corn hole, the pad for playing in the water off the dock, the boat, the SeaDoo, and the large tube for pulling behind the boat! The sunsets were beautiful and appreciated by all ages. CONS: The lake is high and there are concrete blocks placed in the water to get to the dock. This was a bit precarious with two 80-year-olds in our party. We managed it, but a large step or a small ramp would be safer. The boat had plenty of kid life jackets, but only 6 adult jackets (we had 9 adults). We live 30 minutes away so I ran home to get some before I heard back from the host. I'm sure he would have offered a solution, but we had already taken the boat out twice before we even realized it. We heard from another lake resident that renters at another property were hit with (2) $500 fines within the same week for not having a spotter on board while pulling tubers. Lake Cora is patrolled and it's a $100 ticket per person for not having the proper life jackets on board. The host was apologetic and said the jackets should have been there. It didn't end up being an issue, it's just something to be aware of for future renters- make sure you have enough properly fitting life jackets and you always have a spotter on board! Finally, I take responsibility for not noticing the table in the photos... the dining table fits 10 if you have two kids on the benches. If it's only adults, you can fit 8. There were 11 of us and we wanted to sit around the table together so one person had to sit on a cooler for the first two days. When I went home, I grabbed two folding chairs. That helped, but it was still very tight. For a house that sleeps 12, it would be helpful to have extra chairs available and/or a larger table. Again, great lake house! We had a lovely week!

Summary: Our family, three brothers in their 40s, wives, children (six between ages of 1-10) and our matriarch vacation somewhere in the west side of MI annually in August. This time we went to BJ’s lake house in PawPaw. The home is beautiful, large, well-appointed and the pictures don’t do it justice. BJ was very communicative (even while in Europe) and his top concern was that my family was comfortable and enjoying our week long stay at his home. We had so much fun, enjoying the beautiful lake, wide wrap around porch, expansive beautiful lawn for games and letting the kiddos run around. So much space for everyone. We appreciated the two different laundry rooms (first and second floor) as well as the bonus clubhouse space above the garage. There were so many places to congregate and have fun and plenty of space for each of our 3 families to have quiet time as well. You can’t go wrong with this home and all the extras that are not even noted in the listing (tubes, water toys, playground, bounce house, corn hole….). BJ is a great host and you’ll have a wonderful time.
