Fabulous family getaway
Whole 3 level lakefront home with fantastic views! Lots of fun things to do. So many amenities. We had 3 generations comfortably stay and safely enjoy swimming, boating, grilling and just relaxing by the lake. Kitchen had plenty of dishes to eat our meals.The coffee bar, wine chiller and ice maker were a generous addition! Pleasntly surprised with the ample parking. The garage game room is a great space for kids and adults to take a break from the sun or blow off some steam waiting for dinner. Host was immediately responsive to our question. Thanks for the memorable stay!

Great view! Great house!
This is a wonderful home that is well furnished. We loved cooking and having family meals around the big table. Fishing off the dock was a favorite activity. Just wish we had realized the house is 3 stories. Top floor had 3 bedrooms but no bathroom or toilet. Second floor was master with on suite full bath. And right beside it was a half bath. The shower for 3 bedrooms upstairs was on bottom level just off kitchen.
Other thing that could be annoying is a restaurant about 200 yards by lakeshore that is very loud.
Overall great place with super views.

Relaxing getaway when you aren’t completely getting away
Stayed here for a work trip with a coworker, it had great relaxing views, easy quick walk to a few restaurants and had quick access to local highways.
Coming back to sit by the lake after a day of work was like a vacation when we weren’t on vacation. Beds were very squishy and comfortable. And had good AC. Game room was super cool and we were able to watch some playoff basketball on the projector.
We were surprised at how nice the area was in general.
Highly recommend.

Excellent, but annoying communication
Property nice and exactly as advertised. But I was annoyed that the host sent me a message asking for a 5 rating, for which he would post a favorable rating for me. This undermines reliable ratings on VRBO, which we need.

Lovely lake house.
Lovely house with a great view of the lake. This place was well-furnished and nicely decorated. Very clean, with everything needed for a comfortable stay. Beautiful master bedroom on the main floor and 3 more bedrooms upstairs. The house is back from the street so no traffic noise. The lower lakeside area was perfect for morning coffee. The modified garage made a great game room for the guys to test their video game skills on multiple game consoles from the 80s. Check-in/out was super easy and communication with the owner received very quick replies. We would definitely stay here again if coming back to the Akron area.
