Loved it! Beautiful view. Clean, lovely.

10.0 / 10.0

Nice clean and quiet place. Lots of room inside and out to roam. Beautiful views of the lake from the deck.

10.0 / 10.0

My daughter and I stayed at the cottage for a few nights over Mother's Day weekend. This is our third time here, and it never disappoints. The weather was beautiful, the view is spectacular and the house is always clean.

10.0 / 10.0

We enjoyed our stay. The place was absolutely beautiful with the lake views. My only downfall, was that there are no window coverings except in the one bedroom. I am not a fan of the open concept to outside world at night. If that does not bother you then this is the place to stay.

10.0 / 10.0

We equipped for enjoying outdoor activities. Such a beautiful spot, and great communication with the host!

Wish we could have stayed during summer . Great location

10.0 / 10.0

Very clean. Nice space. Beautiful view of the lake. Quite private, but we didnt have to share the house with guests in the other apartments. We were the only guests. We were there over Christmas time, so we were not able to enjoy the lake activities. But we hope to be back next summer or fall. Would highly recommend.

We rented this place for our family of 4 over Thanksgiving so we could stay closer to extended family living in Jackson. It worked great for us. Much better than getting a hotel room.

10.0 / 10.0

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.

10.0 / 10.0

The location was great, the property was perfectly maintained. Hosts were extremely communicative and helpful. We will definitely be back.

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.

10.0 / 10.0

Very relaxing place to stay with fun activities and a cute little beach to sit on. The neighborhood was quiet, and we enjoyed the paddle boat!

10.0 / 10.0

Our family had a fantastic time staying at this property. Plenty of room and amenities to go with a scenic view and lots of wildlife. The host made himself available to provide assistance when needed. We will definitely consider staying here again.

10.0 / 10.0

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!

10.0 / 10.0

Wow! This place was one of my favorite VRBO stays! The place was super clean and smelled fresh and clean upon arrival. The views are amazing! The property lot is very generous, and on a nice private corner. If you're considering this rental you cannot go wrong!

10.0 / 10.0

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.

We enjoyed spending time at the Cheerful Lakehouse. The house is on a really beautiful part of the lake and it was a perfect fit for a group of 4 of us. Thank you!

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!

My family and I came here for Labor Day weekend and had a blast. Tim is a really nice guy and was extremely helpful with any questions that we had. The property was immaculate and peaceful. My family loved it. Perfect getaway to round off the summer. We’ll definitely be back!

10.0 / 10.0

The owners think about details. The unit was nicely furnished, the kitchen was well-equipped for prep and cooking, and the whole interior was spacious and well lit. Outside, there was actually kindling on the wood pile, and multiple kinds of watercraft - plenty of kayaks, a 4-seater paddle boat, and some paddle boards, too. Kayaking the lake was a real joy. Towels and sheets are included as you’d think for a nice place. The only mild worry was a very soft mattress topper in the downstairs bedroom. The response time to an email question was quick-less than 10 minutes, and the owner(s) are nearby but non-intrusive. I’d rent again in a heartbeat. It’s a great place for 4-5 people, well equipped and well done.

10.0 / 10.0

I saw all the five star reviews for this property, and figured they were probably a bit exaggerated. They weren't. The house is basically new construction. The inside is immaculate. A father and son (son owns the property) are contractors and they rebuilt the property. You can see the attention to detail inside and out. They allow you use of all their equipment; kayaks, paddle boards, bicycles, disc golf etc. The house is lakefront on a beautiful chain of lakes. If you are a picky renter, this place is for you.

10.0 / 10.0

Clean and had everything we needed. Owner was enjoyable to speak with and accommodating.

We loved our stay at the Lake House. Beautiful views, amenities and quiet! We are looking forward to returning!

10.0 / 10.0

As other reviewers stated, pics do not do it justice, and it was super clean. Owners responded quickly to the few questions i had. The lake view is just what you want. I tooled around the lake for several hours on a kayak, and had a wonderful stay. Highly recommended!

10.0 / 10.0

Check in was easy. You just show up at your scheduled time. There is a code to get in the property. The house was clean and beautifully modeled. The 2 sets of sliding glass doors off the living/dining area open up to a large deck that oversees the lake. We used the kayaks and paddle boards. Theres plenty to do and several yard games to choose from. Very beautiful property. We enjoyed our stay.
