We really enjoyed our stay! The home was clean, beautifully decorated and comfortable. We had everything we needed to cook dinner in the kitchen easily..My husband and son caught a crappy while fishing in the canal after we went biking all day. The hosts have bike and boat rentals available, which was so easy amd convenient. This is a lovely home and the hosts were so helpful and easy to communicate with the entire time.

We visited Akron in order to hike and visit Cuyahoga Falls & National Park. Our hosts were amazing. Amanda placed top notch e-bikes in the basement so that we could ride on the towpath along the canal directly behind the house. She arranged a pontoon boat excursion on the portage lakes which was the highlight of our visit. The excursions are reasonably priced. We were only 30 minutes from several of the park entrances. Our dogs were welcomed and she thought of all the little things in the kitchen and house. The neighborhood was quiet and pleasant. The parks, bike trails, canal, and lakes are beautiful. She is a super host!
