The house was perfect for our stay. We were there to visit our new grandson / nephew at the Akron children’s hospital NICU…The house was clean and the beds were super comfy…the owners texted us touching base with anything we needed…very helpful.We did take a short morning walk to the lake…Hopefully we will have another chance to enjoy the lake community on our next visit!

Summer Relaxation

This quaint, charming home has been decorated nicely and is very comfortable. It was very clean and well appointed. The neighborhood is quiet and is a short drive from shops and restaurants. We had a very enjoyable stay. Great communication from the owner who even phoned me to check on us due to tornado warnings. Very caring!!

Great place to enjoy the Portage Lakes area!

This property is in a super convenient location just a few steps from the lake. The cute and cozy home is so comfortable and the furnishings were lovely to enjoy some down time. The owner was incredibly responsive, checking in a couple times via text to ensure all was going well. The home is very well stocked! We had everything we needed for a few days’ visit - we were there during a very hot and humid weekend and the two a/c units worked beautifully to keep the place cool. Quiet area, close to lakes, Akron and Cleveland.

Great cottage

This cottage is conveniently located for visiting Akron, Cuyahoga Valley, and even Canton. We like birding and hiking, and there are many beautiful parks in this area. The cottage is comfortable and lovingly decorated. Great communication with the property manager and owner! My only complaint is not with the cottage itself, but with its description of being “steps from the lake.” While this is technically true, the steps take you to a guardrail behind which are private properties going down to the lake.

Responsive host, great amenities, and a stay that met all our needs!We had a wonderful stay and the home completely met our needs. The host went above and beyond before we even arrived as there was a water main break the day before our trip, and they proactively had plenty of bottled water delivered and waiting for us so we could easily make coffee, drink, and brush our teeth.The kitchen was well-stocked and the grill worked great. The king bed was incredibly comfortable. While the home relies on bedroom window AC units rather than central air, they kept things nice and cool, and we lucked out with perfect mid-70s weather during our visit. The host did say central AC is planned for 2027.A few helpful notes on layout and amenities for future guests:Water Access: While you are close to the water, the direct end of the street is private property. You'll need to walk a few blocks down South Turkeyfoot Road to be at the water.Layout & Tech: The main bathroom in the king bedroom doesn't have a separate door for the toilet area, so you do have to close the main bedroom door for privacy. The second bedroom layout could benefit from a little rearranging, and a wall-mounted TV there would be a great upgrade.Amenities: There is no washer/dryer on-site, which is just a helpful detail to keep in mind when packing.Overall, it was a highly successful trip with a great, attentive host, and the house did exactly what we needed. We would definitely stay again.
