Beautiful Lakeside home!
Comfortable home with a very well appointed kitchen; it had a Keurig and an air fryer in addition to the standard appliances! All the pots and pans you could need to cook for a crowd! Charcoal and wood were provided for the grills and fire pit. Many games were available including cornhole. I can’t speak highly enough of this lovely property. Would definitely stay here again!

Good House, Inaccurate Listing Details
This house was good, but the listing details were not accurate and there were some things that we booked the house for that weren't there. 1. The lake the house was on was not swimmable because of an algae bloom. The host told us the day before we left, but the report that announced that the lake was non-swimmable was published more than two weeks before our trip. 2. There was a hot tub advertised, no hot tub existed. Not even a tub with jets that could be considered a hot tub. 3. The grill advertised was present, but there was no propane in the tank, so we couldn't use it. 4. Spa tub advertised didn't exist. 5. The TV was advertised as a "Smart TV", but was not. There was a DVD player, but there was no power cord for it to be used. Contacted the host about this issue, they were no help. 6. Video games were advertised, but not present. 7. The listing said there was a "sand beach", but there was no beach. The yard went right up to the water with a concrete retaining wall between the lake and the yard. Outside of the inaccurate listing details, our other complaint is that the beds were uncomfortably hard. Also, the host was very slow to respond to messages.

Beautiful Lake Property
We had a wonderful time visiting our son who works in Canton and lives in Akron. This was a convenient location for our family and had everything we needed. Plenty of room, clean and a relaxing view of the lake. Grocery shopping and restaurants nearby and easy to get to from Akron or Canton. We had a great stay. Thank you!

We went to see family in the Akron area and with all three of our adult children plus our son’s girlfriend making the trip we knew it was too many for my in-law’s place. This was perfect!! Enough space, twenty minutes from family and the relaxing lake view was marvelous! Definitely plan to stay again if we all make the trip again next time!

This was our second visit to the property. Owners continue to upgrade and make improvements to the house and property. Very clean and convenient to major highways and a shopping center is nearby. The screened-in back porch overlooking the lake is great anytime of the day.

Great Lakeside House
We came to Akron from eastern PA for a family event. We really enjoyed our stay at this property. Very clean, nicely decorated and updated throughout. We especially enjoyed reading , having coffee and breakfast in the enclosed porch overlooking the lake. The wall heater took the chill off in porch quickly. Beds were very comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked. Very convient to our local travel locations. We have already recommended this property to friends and family.

Wonderful place!
The home is very nice, location is great … very peaceful on the waterfront watching the birds and the water recreation… Fishing was good and the host was very helpful! There is quite a bit of road noise due to backing to a busy street and we were not able to swim due to to an algae bloom, there also is no sandy beach on the property. Overall it is a very nice home and we enjoyed our trip.

Great stay!
House is very clean and well laid out for extended stay. Screened in porch was absolutely the best - we spent much time there enjoying all weather changes. Beds were comfortable - kitchen supplied with appropriate equipment including an air fryer and Kerrigan. Our granddaughter loved the back deck and the park. Would certainly rent again in the future. Traffic is pretty heavy at times of the day on the main road but it was not a distraction. We brought fans for the bedrooms so did not hear noise at all while sleeping - but if light sleeper would suggest ear plugs. Very nice place!

Great lake house
We enjoyed our week here very much! Fantastic view of the lake, and very relaxing. It is near a busy road, so we ended up needing to use fans in our bedrooms at night to drown out the traffic noise, but other than that it was just perfect for us. Very clean, comfortable, and good communication with the host.

Clean lake house
We rented this for a wedding in the area. We loved it. Probably the cleanest house we’ve ever rented. We’d rent it again if we stayed in the area. The beds were comfortable. The A/C worked great. The kitchen had everything we needed. The area is very nice. The only reason we took one star off was because we happened to rent during a lake festival. A lot of extra cars, trucks, trailers, and people during the festival. It would have been nice to know. Again, any other time we’d stay again!
