- "The home was as advertised and very clean. It was perfect for our family of four and provided the perfect spot to get out of town for a few days!" - "My wife and I stayed there for six nights in June. It's a very nice place. It's small but very tiny and clean. We liked the kitchen layout and the front entry covered porch. The AC will freeze you out if it's too low (works well). There is no beach access, but there is a small lake access about a block away. It's really well appointed for two people. The surrounding area is nice and very quiet. Parking is a little strange but, not too bad."

- "My family decided it was time we had our first annual family lake vacation and started looking for a house on Paw Paw Lake since it was half way between Wisconsin and Indianapolis....we were so lucky to find this fabulous home. Right from the beginning, we had a great experience. Lori was so good about answering all of my questions and when we arrived she walked us through the house and showed us the whole layout. Lori was helpful with every aspect of our trip. The house was a perfect size for our family. Everyone loved that we could hang with the little ones on the beach, look at the beautiful views of the lake from the huge deck and then be able to hang out at the large fire pit to roast marshmallows. We were so impressed that the owner had everything we needed from beach towels to pots and pans in their fully stocked kitchen. We all felt like we were in our own home. Thank you and we hope to be back next year!"

About the Area
Located in southeast Michigan, only 2 hours from Chicago and ~2.5 hours from Detroit. The location is the perfect balance of peace and fun in the sun. The lake is in a serene area, surrounded by apple orchards and an asparagus farm, however it is still within a 15 minute drive to local restaurants, breweries and shops. The region is known as the fruit belt so you will find several orchards, farm stands, and wineries within a 10-30 minute drive. Whether you’re looking for a sun filled summer vacation, a spring or fall trip to explore fruit farms and orchards, or a cozy winter getaway, Keeler Lake Lodge is the perfect place to create unforgettable memories.

- "The water level, the dock, beach, kayaks and paddleboards were perfect for our kids and grandchildren. We enjoyed the outdoors together, including our meals - as the sun set directly behind the house, providing shade for lunch and dinner. Every cook was extremely pleased with the kitchen and provisions for cooking meals. It's a quick drive to sand dunes and Lake Michigan. I've already recommended the place to friends and family." - "Stayed while going to Swiss valley to ski and snowboard house is out of town a bit which was very nice is a steal for the price the hosts were very quick to respond to any questions we had view is better than advertised would recommend to anyone"

- "Clean, comfortable cottage with everything you need for a short stay. We just used the cottage for overflow sleeping and it was perfect." - "Adorable!! Cute town, nice people, great accommodations. The only downside was that we were unaware the property was pet-friendly and there was a LOT of dog hair in the cottage, in the corners, all over the fabric sofa in living room and even woven into the bed sheets (not just the bedspread, but the actual sheets) we had to wash the linens before use, but no big deal, we love animals, we just weren't expecting the animal hair to be left behind.

- "Pros: Good communication from property managers. Great location near Lake Michigan. TV in each room. Lovely backyard with a table/chairs. Cons: Very expensive. Low quality beds - bouncy but hard inner springs which could be helped with a mattress cover. Kitchen missing basic things included in most VRBOs like salt, oil, cutting board, etc. Dead batteries in 2 out of 3 TV remotes. One of the coffee cups is very cheaply cast and led to a cut finger. Outside table and chairs required fairly intensive cleaning before use."

- "Everything was wonderful about the cottage. The only drawback is the lack of lake access. The public waterway is narrow and between two close houses. We didn’t feel comfortable using it. Otherwise it was very clean and nice. It is close to Roadside Beach on Lake Michigan so that was a bonus!" - "My family rented this home, and my sister’s family rented affiliate homes across the street. Net result, a family community that was just right. Moreover, the property manager and owners were more accommodating and kind than could be hoped. All in all, great."
