Clean and peaceful stay!

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.

Abundant lot

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!

Nice little getaway

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!

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!
