Very nice clean little house. Just right for two and easy access to everything we wanted to do. Cuyahoga Valley trails, Rock Hall Of fame and Football Hall of fame.

The house was clean upon entering but at second look cobwebs in every corner and ants in the kitchen. The bedroom is up a steep flight of steps and the only small bathroom is in the main floor. Tiny home but our needs were met. Evan was easy to contact and maintenance replaced the only TV that had broke the same day. Window air unit on main floor and single room air upstairs. No lake view, your up at the top of the street.

My husband and I got married the weekend we stayed. Excellent little place to stay!
Really a nice little quiet place to stay while checking out the Akron area, especially with the water so close by. The property is very clean and tidy and the AC units were appreciated. There's a washer/dryer if needed, as well as the basic kitchen setup for cooking your own meals. The neighbors were really nice and provided suggestions on where to visit nearby. The lakes really make the area feel spectacular and there's a state park close by with lake access. Akron had some other things of interest (like the zoo and the Tudor house), and Cleveland was not far away for a day trip. I really enjoyed my time there. Thanks again!!
