This rental was very clean and well taken care of. A beautiful spot right on Maple lake with a small dock, gazebo, and kayaks. It was very quiet with the surrounding homes and other rental next door. The property owners were responsive and very easy to work with. We would definitely stay again. This is a good spot for a couples retreat, or even just someone looking to just relax for a few days. It's conveniently only about 1 mile from downtown Paw Paw, which offers up plenty of good dining options, wineries, breweries, and live music venues in the summer months.
5.0
The property was so cute and clean. We enjoyed our stay and think we could come back without hesitation. The property sets just steps from the lake and the lake is beautiful. The area is very quiet and peaceful. The owners are friendly but respect your privacy. There is lots to do just a drive away but then you get to come back to the very peaceful property. We both would give this property a high rating and would have no issues recommending it.

Quiet, relaxing, nice views of Maple Lake. Made for an enjoyable long weekend getaway. Island Park was in walking distance. Enjoyed kayaking on the lake. Close enough to Lake Michigan to day trip to the beach towns. Sleeping area was a little tight, but not an issue. Host were very friendly and accommodating. Recommend!

The property was beautiful with a wonderful view of the lake! The house was beautiful and the perfect size for a couple. The hosts had plenty of supplies in the bathroom in case you forget anything. We enjoyed having a full kitchen, and if we wanted to eat out, we were very close town as well. We’re hoping to come back soon!

This is our second stay at this cottage and we will keep coming back! Both times have been in the colder months and we love being able to relax and watch TV and have a amazing view at the same time. The ducks, geese, and swans are entertaining to watch. The blankets to snuggle up with on the couch are a nice touch. One of these days we will come in the summer and take advantage of the fire pit and spend some time outside. We love your place!

Lovely place to stay! The hosts were welcoming and helpful. I had thought the location would be more remote, but that was an incorrect assumption on my part. Even though it’s pretty close to other houses and a busy road, my stay was still quiet and peaceful.

I had the pleasure spending two nights with my favorite person in the world at the Cozy Quonset Hut. It was the perfect setting providing a peaceful and Serene get away experience. The only thing that could have been better is if we had two more nights. Five stars in every category. We will definitely consider a return trip.
Thank you Donna and David for being great host!

This quiet, quirky property has a lot going for it. Location, location, location -- right on edge of a lake. First sounds in the morning -- birds singing, a duck quacking, a Canada goose honking; what fun! Very clean -- even the chairs on the back deck had been cleaned.

Place was perfect. I needed a place to warm up and sleep comfortably during a late season deer hunt. The house was super clean and had everything I needed. I even filled a couple tags while I was there.

Rental was exactly as advertised. All the comforts of home, away from home! We enjoyed our relaxing getaway sitting on the deck, watching all the waterfowl and exploring Paw Paw and a little of Southwest Michigan. Would highly recommend to anyone staying in the area!

Cutest little spot
I was drawn to the listing by the unusual cottage and it did not disappoint. The host thought of every little detail and the place is impeccably done. It was very hot the weekend we stayed but the back deck was shaded and the breeze from the lake made it a lovely place to lounge.

Words cannot adequately describe what an idyllic location for rest and relaxation Quonset Hit is. Sitting by the lake reading or observing ducks, geese, swans, etc., was incredible. Additionally, Dona and David have provided a cozy, super clean environment for cooking, playing games, resting, and more. Quonset Hut is so comfortable and everything you could possibly need is provided from beach towels to kayaks to games and an extremely comfortable bed. We enjoyed meeting and talking to Dona, too! Pictures don’t do justice to how cute and well thought out the amenities are.

It was wonderful spending some time on 'my' deck overlooking Maple Lake, watching the swans. I was very comfortable and if anything was needed the owners got right back to me. The kitchen was well stocked with pans for making muffins if I'd wanted to, cooking meals, cookies, coffee, etc. Dona was a very friendly host. I would go back happily.

It was everything I was looking for. Tranquil, quiet and calm. The rental was cozy and comfortable. The view of the lake was beautiful. I was able to get out on the lake with my personal Kayak and had a great time. If you are looking for a comfortable spot to get away in can't recommend this place more and the hosts were incredibly hospitable. I have recommended it to friends and family and will definitely be back.
