We felt that Dave and Sarah truly wanted us to enjoy our experience. A welcome package included a huge eclipse cookie and viewing glasses. While it’s early in the season, they placed the deck furniture for our comfort to watch the eclipse. They checked in to make sure that all was okay. They have been very thoughtful with amenities. Very generous. Super clean! Very nice, comfortable space. We were more than pleased! ##### Ginger and Peter O.

They have thought of everything including your pets. We felt like our dog was truly welcomed, from some pet essentials to the fenced in yard. The owners are very sweet and thoughtful. They knew we were going to have some bad weather traveling in and reached out to make sure we knew. We loved the list of things to see and do, restaurants and activities, all done for the surrounding cities too. So many things to do and not enough time, but that's ok, we'll be back! Again, a great home, we will definitely come back to make more family memories. Thank you. ##### Heather G.

We had an excellent stay at the Valley View Lakehouse over the week of the 4th of July. The house is in a great location in Mayville (especially for the fireworks over the 4th) and is easy walking distance to the lake and town. The fenced in back yard was great for letting our dog out. There is also a small dog park within walking distance, but we never met another dog there. Sarah and Dave (the hosts) were very responsive to any questions we had and went above and beyond expectations. They set up a dog crate for our dog so we didn't have to lug our own around and also left us a gift basket for our stay. The house is well appointed and had everything we needed including various seasonings, cooking oils, etc. We cooked a couple of nights and also used the grill and the kitchen had everything we needed. It was pretty hot the week we were there and the AC units in the house did a good job of keeping us cool. Our primary reason for visiting Mayville was the Chautauqua Institute. For those considering the rental for that purpose, we found it to be a workable arrangement. It's about a 5 minute drive to the Institute, but with parking and walking to the venues, etc., you should plan that it will take you at least 20 - 30 minutes from leaving the house before you are sitting in the Amp or other venue. A hot tip for anyone who is a fan of pies, head over to Westfield and get a pie from Portage Pie. All of their pies are delicious, but you often have to order ahead. ##### Colin M. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Peter B. 23 Aug 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Fine Lake. Fine Arts. Fine Place For You & Your Dog. Just as advertised, the Lake Cottage was a great place for our dog -- a Westie/Brussels Mix, weighing 23 pounds. He loved roaming around in the fully fenced back yard. And when his sniffari was complete, basking in the sunshine was just as good. Granted, a very active large breed dog might be short on space. But for small breed dogs, this is perfect. The Laundry Room doubled as a staging area for the Dog Yard. Many useful items are stocked, including water & feeding bowls; pads & blankets; the necessary and proper plastic bags. A crate is available with advance notice. But our dog felt so at home the crate proved to be unnecessary. The humans were also well taken care of. The Welcome Basket was much appreciated. We did use the well stocked Kitchen for cooking. Discovering the "Secret Toilet" upstairs was fun. Now that's a Water Closet! And having a 2nd Restroom did prove to be useful. Communicating with Owners David & Sarah was easy & pleasant. You aren't on the grounds of the Chautauqua Institution, but the location is very good if your visit includes that destination. It's an easy three mile commute. Be sure to turn right into the Visitors' Parking Lot; then take the shuttle bus to the Main Gate. Walking to the Main Gate is also an option. But while walking, don't be surprised if one of the friendly bus drivers offers you a lift while you're en route. FWIW, we came for National Parks Week. We hope to return for another stay in the Summer of '24! ##### Peter B.

The owners are really nice and easy to communicate with. I’ll be back! ##### Kim H. Stayed 35 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jaimie S. 9 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy We had a lovely stay at the Valley View Lakehouse. It was so clean! The kitchen and bathrooms had everything we needed. The location was great for walking to Boxcar Barneys for ice cream or a walk along the lake (which is just across the street). We also enjoyed visiting the wineries nearby and Big Inlet Brewery. We loved that we could bring our dog to the house too! ##### Jaimie S.

Great property in excellent shape. Very welcoming hosts, easy check-in, house has everything we (4 adults and dog) needed for a comfortable stay. Short walking distance from ice-cream store is a bonus. ##### Hans L.

Our dog truly loved the fenced in yard as well as the black squirrel living in the tree out back! They were always available for any questions and were even kind enough to warn of us some stormy weather approaching. We truly had a wonderful time! ##### Ginny T.

They provided a lot of information about the area and things to do. The kitchen is amazing and beautifully appointed. My daughter especially appreciated the welcome basket. We did have one question and Dave responded immediately to successfully resolve the issue. We would definitely stay at the property again. ##### Mary B. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 2 Jul 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Best Hosts Ever! So much has already been said about the excellent location of the house, its cleanliness upon arrival, great amenities (and now has a newly updated kitchen), so I decided to focus my comments on the owners. David and Sarah are without a doubt the best hosts we've ever encountered. They respond to messages quickly, contact you to make sure everything is going well, and genuinely seem to care about the renters' experiences. David even notified us about a storm warning! We very much appreciated their kindness throughout our stay. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Nora D. 4 Mar 2022 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Nice home but a rough weekend for winter weather The house was nice and clean, but it snowed a great deal and we (my husband) had to clear the yard for the dogs, and the sidewalks and access to the house--several times. For the price, arrangements should have been made for this. ##### Nora D.
