Beautiful home and back yard feels secluded even though it is a subdivision. Lots of gathering space inside with very comfortable furniture and beds. Really enjoyed our stay.

The pictures do the home no justice. It was cold and snowy when I went so I was not able to enjoy the outside amenities. I am actually looking for an excuse to go back jusg to experience the entire home.

Property is in a nice neighborhood. Nice fireplace, well stocked kitchen. Beds were comfy. The only issue was dust. There was a lot of it. That said, I would still return.

Quiet and relaxing oasis!
We loved our stay at this unique MCM home. The owners have thought of everything necessary to make your stay enjoyable. The beds are so comfortable, the kitchen is very well equipped, and the location is perfect. This is also one of the cleanest rentals ever! You get the feeling that you are nestled far away from civilization but are actually close to everything. Already looking forward to returning in the future.

Super groovy and wonderful!
My college friends and I went to see the PRETENDERS in Akron and it was a great show! But what made it better? Staying at this amazing mid-century modern house. We’d love the details of the original interior and it was clean and well equipped.

Rohrs stay
Great place to relax, plenty of room to gather on all levels. Would be great if all the queen beds were king. Cooling system could use an update, very cold down stairs and almost to warm upstairs and for sleeping. Would be nice to have a list off local restaurants and things to do. Other than that great stay.

Quiet and Peaceful
Our stay was wonderful! The location is conveniently located for shopping and hiking on the trails near Sand Run Park. It feels like an oasis hidden among the trees, you wouldn’t know it was a residential neighborhood.
The little extra amenities available were a nice treat should you forgot something. Would love to stay again when back in Fairlawn visiting family.
Off the beaten path but close to it all, a great house tucked into the woods. Plenty of room to spread out, relax, and enjoy time with each other. The house had plenty of extras to make you feel at home while away from home. Older home charm with a fully updated kitchen and appliances. Would stay here again in a different season to be able to enjoy the outdoors more. It was a cold weekend in Ohio during our stay.
