The little house sits across the street from Summit Lake which has a board walk. The house itself is very clean and the owners offer a thoughtful welcome with a snack basket. The beds are very comfortable and the kitchen is stocked with the needed essentials and condiments as well as a nice coffee machine. The home is newly renovated and the communication with the hosts Julie and Michael has been very easy. The location is about about a 25 min. from Cuyahoga Falls National Park.

The hosts have done a fantastic job of providing a clean and tidy home with all the essentials needed. Beds are comfortable. Linens and towels were a nice quality. Kitchen is adequately stocked and had delightful finds for a child of the 70’s with Tupperware measuring cups and colored glasses. It was a plus to have everything needed for a cup of coffee or tea. The lake has a lovely walking trail around it and the wildlife was fun to watch. Overall, this property is a delightful spot!
