We were very comfortable at the lakeside cottage. It was a nice quiet neighborhood. Definitely will return when the weather is warmer to enjoy the proximity to the water. It was close to everything we planned in the area. The amenities are accommodating for a longer stay if needed. The only downside was the upstairs bedroom has a low ceiling. This didn’t present a problem for us but just something we took notice of.

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.

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!!
