So relaxing!
Loved our stay. Was a great place to relax. I was in town for my high school reunion. Lots of rain and cool weather the days I stayed, but I'm from AZ and it was so nice to be "home" and visit Akron ---and away from the heat.

4th of July weekend on the lake
Beautiful, charming home up on a hill with breathtaking view of the lak to enjoy from the huge windows; many family moments shared in the swivel chair looking out onto the lake. Fun time on the lake-access dock fishing for 7-year old along with relaxing kayaking with provided access to 2 kayaks. Very clean and accomodating kitchen set upvfor family meals at home. Also relaxing enviornment with quick access to many restaurants, ice cream shops, and State Park/beach. Perfect holiday weekend with opportunity to see the largest privately-funded firework show! Great hosts with easy check'in/out, timely responses and ensuring you'reall set for a wonderful stay!.

A peaceful getaway
My mother and I had a wonderful stay, the property was very clean and a great location. A new kitchen with everything we needed, and really enjoyed the deck the view, and of course the kayaks on the lake. The host was amazing and probably the quickest ever to respond to questions. Thank you!

Work and family trip
We had a great stay. The home and surrounding areas are gorgeous. We had some trouble getting into the house but it was solved after a bit of time. I think working through some communication issues would be of great benefit. If we ever have the opportunity to come back to the area, or know anyone who does, we would recommend the place for sure.
