The neighborhood is peaceful and the home is centrally and conveniently located. House includes a dock slip, two-level deck, outdoor granite bar, firepit and open concept dining / living area inside. Our home can sleep up to six visitors with its three bedrooms (1 queen bed, 1 king bed, and twin-bed bunk beds), two futons and two self-inflating air beds. All three bedrooms are located on a separate level from the living area, and the upstairs bathroom includes a deep soaking tub and spacious shower. The lower-level bathroom has a stall shower. Laundry facilities are included for your convenience free of charge. Detergent and dryer sheets provided. The kitchen is fully updated and stocked with plates and utensils. Brew your morning coffee with our Ninja Coffee Bar (bring your whole bean coffee - we even have a bean grinder) and enjoy it on one of the many decks overlooking the water. You can enjoy outdoor dining with a full size dinner table, granite bar with four stools, and a 4-burner propane grill with tools. On the upper deck, you can relax around the propane firepit on the outdoor sectional couch. Both decks and the balcony boast stunning views of the water. The dock has a slip for your boat if you own one, or we can make recommendations on where to rent a pontoon. Two kayaks and a stand-up paddleboard are available for use during your stay. If fishing is your thing, you can do so right from the dock. We have a ladder to get into the lake for swimming off the dock as well. Proximity is everything with our property - you're close to multiple bars and restaurants, multiple golf courses within a short drive, and close to local parks and towpath. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach loungers - Beach towels ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee grinder - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Hob - Ice maker - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Fireplace ### Entertainment - Games - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Outdoor furniture ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk - Desk chair ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming dogs only - Up to 23 kg per pet ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - Hardwood flooring in public areas - Tile flooring in public areas - Upper floors accessible by stairs only - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Things to do - Kayak ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - At least 80% lighting from LEDs - Recycling ## Similar properties ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/66000000/65490000/65480900/65480871/42abe95d.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Akron Portage Lakes Peaceful Lakefront Charming 2-bedroom home / amazing view.

The home was in excellent shape. Good WiFi. You could swim and fish off of the dock. Two kayaks and a paddle board were available to use. The gas grill was clean. You could paddle across the lake to nice restaurants. The owner was available by text to address any concerns. ##### Richard D. Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mary Beth J. 13 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great lake location! We came to town to visit family and rented the house on the lake as a central location. The house is great, modern upgrades, multiple decks, water access, quiet and close to everything. The property manager was very responsive and easy to work with. The views of the lake and multiple decks were great. Owners provided kayaks and a paddleboard along with life vests. The kitchen and bathrooms were well stocked with pretty much anything you need including toiletries, trash bags, dish soap, etc. Parking is tight in the neighborhood but it all worked and we had such a good time. We hope to come back again soon. ##### Mary Beth J. Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Phil A. 14 Jun 2024 Liked: Check-in, communication, location Disliked: Cleanliness #### Nice if kept up Nice location on the lake. Problem is the landscaping isn't maintained. Spider webs all over the patio shrubs growing over walkways. The outside space is not useable. The inside is nice but it was crumbs and hair on the bed when we checked in, and was accused of causing a red stain on a quilt that was already there. The water pressure in the house goes in and out so be prepared to stand in the shower 45 seconds waiting for the water to come back on. ##### Phil A.
