Fully lived up to it's "exceptional" rating

In addition to what the other reviews say (very clean, great hosts, great views, peaceful) the lake house is a nice distance from the neighboring properties. The east side is bordered by a small marsh, which was lovely in itself. We plan to stay there again and bring binoculars for bird watching.

Great Place!

Cozy little place with/ one bedroom and a loft that sleeps 3. Very clean. owners always close by and very responsive. Many free kayaks to use, a paddle boat, and the option of pontoon boat rental (excellent price). The yard had deer, cranes, swans, and rabbits visiting. Super quiet and peaceful. Planning to come back.

Second Visit

My daughter and I spent Mother's Day weekend plus a couple more days at this cottage, both last year and this year. It's clean, bright and cheery with a great view of the lake. My daughter went kayaking while I watched from the deck. We went into town on the Saturday night for a nice dinner, but other than that, we spent most of the time in the cottage. Oh, we got tattoos!! That was fun!

We had a wonderful night away! It was colder than we anticipated, but the cottage was cozy and clean, and we saw a vast array of wildlife. This was our first VRBO stay, and it couldn’t have been better.

Relaxation & Nature

We've rented many cabins and lake houses across West Virginia, Ohio, and Michigan, but The Cheerful Lake House at Crane Cove stands out as our top choice! Impeccably clean and equipped with all the comforts of home and more, this lake house surpassed our expectations. Every piece of furniture and the strategic window placements were thoughtfully arranged to foster a tranquil ambiance. With breathtaking views of the lake and wildlife visible from every room (except the bathroom), our stay was truly unforgettable. We're already looking forward to our next visit!
