Paw Paw is a charming county-seat village in Michigan’s grape country with wineries, a walkable historic downtown, riverside paddling, breweries, tasting rooms and regular local events—an easy, scenic base that feels lived-in rather than “nowhere” for multi-week contracts.
Nearby Kalamazoo (≈25–30 miles) gives you an airport, hospitals and a much bigger restaurant/arts scene, and Lake Michigan beaches at South Haven are about 29 miles for quick weekend escapes.
