Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jennifer 18 Jun 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication 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!! ##### Jennifer Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Christine R. 4 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy The home was clean and I felt safe.
