The front porch has a nice seating area that's great for morning coffee or watching the sunset on the lake.

Great little house!

This house is very comfortable and we enjoyed our short stay. The location was great for access to hiking, especially CVNP. (Just a short drive away) The lake was lovely for an evening walk. Very neat and clean. Good proximity to many restaurants.

Lake house stay

Our little family enjoyed the cozy accommodations. We took our small dog walking on the path around the lake across the street. Saw Heron and turtles. We also hiked in Cuyahoga Valley National Park about 25 minutes from the house. The coffee, snacks and water at the house were much appreciated.

Perfect house for our weekend in Akron! The kitchen was nicely stocked with everything we needed. Coffee and tea and snacks were a very nice touch! Kids loved the foosball table in the basement. The ability to do laundry was a huge plus!

Great stay

The house was just as pictured and had all the amenities, very clean and very reasonably priced. It was in a great location and easy to travel to the activities we were there for. The hosts were communicative. We did not have any pets, but someone who does would appreciate the fenced in yard. If we are ever in the area again, we would definitely be happy to stay there.

Checking in was a snap. The host contacted me with the information needed prior to our arrival and everything went smoothly. The kitchen was stocked with snacks and a few bottles of water so that we were able to wait until the next morning to stock up for our stay. Also there were coffee pods! The instructions for checking out were short and sweet. So, no problems on that end either! Our stay was comfortable and the location was convenient for our daily trips to the covered bridges, rock and rock Hall of Fame, Cuyahoga Falls National Park, and the Blossom Music Center. Right out the door of our rental was a lake side path which I used for my morning jog each day. The community was very quiet and pleasant. An excellent location and super hosts!

Great hosts Beautiful home

Mike and Julie’s home is clean, cozy, and has everything our family of 4 could have needed. We felt like we were the first ones who ever stayed in their beautiful, updated home but I know we were not from the rave reviews we read before the stay. Our hosts were so helpful - responding quickly to questions posted in vrbo - before, during, and after the trip. Akron itself wasn’t what we expected but the house is located on a nice river walk and we enjoyed going to a minor league Rubberducks game!

This cute little house has been nicely refurbished, and we had a very comfortable and enjoyable stay. It is convenient to downtown, to Cuyahoga NP and across the street from a nice walking path around the lake. The hosts were excellent to work with. The surrounding area is economically depressed but was generally very quiet and we didn't have any problems.

Wedding Weekend Getaway

We were in the area for a wedding. When not at wedding related events, the house was the perfect spot to relax. We loved the view of the lake & enjoyed walking the trails around it! The house was super cute, clean & comfy (couches & beds)! The kitchen had everything we needed & even included yummy snacks! We would definitely stay with Julie & Michael again and recommend them to others. *If traveling with your fur baby, they have a great set-up - fenced in yard area, kennels in basement, toys & snacks. Something we'll keep in mind for the future.
