Great Lake house
We loved this lake house with terrific views of the lake from inside and outside of the house. The white chairs inside provided peaceful viewing of the lake. The outside deck is a nice feature where we enjoyed our morning coffee and evening beverages! It made our visit to CVNP very memorable!

Very relaxing
The house was fabulous. Looking out at the lake drinking my tea in the morning was so relaxing. The restaurants in the area were very good. We did not want to leave on our last day. We will be back.

So relaxing!
Loved our stay. Was a great place to relax. I was in town for my high school reunion. Lots of rain and cool weather the days I stayed, but I'm from AZ and it was so nice to be "home" and visit Akron ---and away from the heat.

4th of July weekend on the lake
Beautiful, charming home up on a hill with breathtaking view of the lak to enjoy from the huge windows; many family moments shared in the swivel chair looking out onto the lake. Fun time on the lake-access dock fishing for 7-year old along with relaxing kayaking with provided access to 2 kayaks. Very clean and accomodating kitchen set upvfor family meals at home. Also relaxing enviornment with quick access to many restaurants, ice cream shops, and State Park/beach. Perfect holiday weekend with opportunity to see the largest privately-funded firework show! Great hosts with easy check'in/out, timely responses and ensuring you'reall set for a wonderful stay!.

A peaceful getaway
My mother and I had a wonderful stay, the property was very clean and a great location. A new kitchen with everything we needed, and really enjoyed the deck the view, and of course the kayaks on the lake. The host was amazing and probably the quickest ever to respond to questions. Thank you!

Work and family trip
We had a great stay. The home and surrounding areas are gorgeous. We had some trouble getting into the house but it was solved after a bit of time. I think working through some communication issues would be of great benefit. If we ever have the opportunity to come back to the area, or know anyone who does, we would recommend the place for sure.
