Absolutely the cleanest place I have ever stayed at. The host was always available but not intrusive. Bedding and all the furniture were very comfortable. No one had a "bad bed". There is a very peaceful koi pond in the back that we weren't even expecting.The only reason I didn't give it five stars is because if someone is looking for something fancy or modern this wouldn't be for them. But it would be a great place for a family or someone with a dog.

Great Area for hikers!

The property was in a quiet area that felt very safe. Close to a gas station as well as several restaurants and shops. The home is spacious and having two bathrooms is a huge plus. The hot tub was perfect at the end of the day after hiking and we loved watching the koi and turtles in the backyard pond. The host was very attentive and responded quickly when we had a need or a question. We were grateful to have a full kitchen and gas grill to prepare the majority of our meals. Would definitely stay here again.Things to do nearby: Luigi's for pizza, hiking the numerous Cuyahoga trails (Ledges Trail & Brandywine Falls area a must see!) and there are plenty of Metro Parks. The Scenic Railroad tour was a great way to see the area and learn about it's history.

Wonderful ambience within reach of sites in Akron

Our stay was very pleasant. The kitchen was well appointed, with a living room which made conversation easy. We enjoyed the fire in the stove, with an adequate supply of wood. The only negative is the bathroom in the Master Bedroom, which is quite tiny. One can almost turn around in the shower. Overall, we were very pleased with this property.

Great base for Cuyahoga Valley Natl Park

Well-stocked home in a nice neighborhood. Beautiful koi pond is a lovely spot for morning coffee. Hot tub is a great way to soothe muscles after hiking in park. Very much appreciated the extras like beach towels, soap, shampoo, lotion, tissues, etc. Host is very gracious. House was perfect for us, but larger groups should be aware there are 2 bathrooms (listing indicates 3). Would happily stay here again if we returned to the area! The kitchen was well stocked too, although we didn’t use it. Thanks for a lovely stay!
