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 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [The Place](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-The-Place.h3748447.Hotel-Information) > > [Cape Panwa Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Wichit-Hotels-Cape-Panwa-Hotel.h1460677.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Bergen](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bergen-Hotels.d557.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Wakefield Limes Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Wakefield-Hotels-Wakefield-Limes-Hotel.h3540940.Hotel-Information) > > [1-bed Cabin, 2 Adults, Wood Burning Hot Tub & Fire](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Carluke-Hotels-Charming-1-Bed-Log-Cabin-In-The-Clyde-Valley.h55222538.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Pigalle Experimental](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Paris-Hotels-Grand-Pigalle-Hotel.h2707145.Hotel-Information) > > [Diamant Suites Brussels EU](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Brussels-Hotels-Diamant-Suites-Brussels-EU.h12580400.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Hongdae](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hongdae-Seoul-Hotels.0-n6159390-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Pet-Friendly Hotels in Cromer](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cromer-Hotels-Pet-Friendly-Hotel.0-0-d182501-tPetFriendlyHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Sheraton Parkway Toronto North Hotel & Suites](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Toronto-Hotels-Sheraton-Parkway-Toronto-North-Hotel-Suites.h1201459.Hotel-Information) > > [Discovery Bedu](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Wadi-Rum-Hotels-Discovery-Bedu.h16021152.Hotel-Information) > > [The White Lion Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Machynlleth-Hotels-The-White-Lion-Hotel.h24718664.Hotel-Information) > > [Accra Beach Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rockley-Hotels-Accra-Beach-Hotel-Spa.h425080.Hotel-Information) > > [The Paramount Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Seattle-Hotels-The-Paramount-Hotel.h58703.Hotel-Information) > > [Villas Heraklion](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Heraklion-Villas.d6053601-aaVillas.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [The Bell Hotel By Weatherspoon](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Aylesbury-Hotels-The-Bell-Hotel.h48463687.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Finchingfield](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Finchingfield-Hotels.d3000383978.Travel-Guide-Hotels) ### Flights > [Flights from Athens (ATH) to Singapore (SIN)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/ath/sin/athens-to-singapore) > > [Flights from Accra (ACC) to Leeds (LBA)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/acc/lba/accra-to-leeds) > > [Caribbean Airlines](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Caribbean-Airlines-Flights.cBW.Travel-Guide-Airlines) > > [Flights from London (LCY) to Granadilla de Abona (TFS)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lcy/tfs/london-to-tenerife) ### Activities > [Things to do in Puerto del Carmen](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Things-To-Do-In-Puerto-Del-Carmen.d6049873.Travel-Guide-Activities) > > [Things to do in Puerto Princesa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Things-To-Do-In-Puerto-Princesa.d2864.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages > [Santa Giulia Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Santa-Giulia-Beach-Porto-Vecchio.d6109838.Attraction) > > [Manaus Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manaus.d2206.Holidays-City-Breaks) > > [Boa Vista Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Boa-Vista.d730.Holidays-City-Breaks) > > [Gimmelwald Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gimmelwald.d6341100.Holidays-City-Breaks) ### General > [Visit Ennismore](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ennismore.dx6288796) > > [Visit Ravello](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ravello.dx11086)
