About this property
1890 Victorian Home in Country Setting, conveniently located
1890’s Victorian style home is comfortably furnished with a fully equipped kitchen and a large dining area, large living room and the old fashion parlor. First floor bathroom includes a tub/shower combo. A four bedroom house with two that are available and others unused unless more guests are booked.
When you stay here, you will enjoy the tranquil setting of the country. Relax with your cup of coffee and a good book on the front porch. Enjoy the evening in the enclosed garden room overlooking the backyard and grilling on the built in charcoal grill. You might see the neighbors’ horses grazing in the fields next to our house. Often we watch the birds, squirrels and other wildlife playing in yard.
Our Guests have access to the entire house with a few exceptions.
The house sits back from the road and the area is full of large oak and maple trees that give it a very established beautiful environment. The original house on this farm was built in 1826 and is across from this house. The original family built my house in 1895 and I am only the third owner of this house since it was built. The 1826 house was part of the Underground Railroad, and my house was built for possible use for that purpose also, but since the Civil War was recently over at the time very little, if any use was made of if for that purpose.
Tallmadge is a great place to live and visit and there are so many things to do and see in our area it is hard to fit them all in this short description! The local farmers market located in the Tallmadge recreation parking lot (46 N Munroe Rd) June through October on Thursdays, 4 to 7pm is a great place to pick up some fresh veggies and meet the local people.
Our house is just a few minutes from Interstate 76 just east of Akron Ohio

REVIEWS FROM PAST GUESTS:
Mason: My wife and I stayed at Ian's home for one night during a cross country trip. It is a charming old farmhouse on a large property with 2 nice horses one property away. We enjoyed staying here and we appreciate this being the only for many miles.
Ks Great comfy old farm house. Parlor with baby grand piano was a bonus. Tallmadge was a nice area to explore from, and our hosts did everything they could to be sure we were comfortable and had what we needed.
Colin: We had a great time at the home. It was very nice and very comfortable. The host was very welcoming and available for any concerns we may have had (though we had none). We would definitely stay there again. Thank you!!
Heather The house was quite and easy to locate. We only stayed one night and the window a/c kept the house at a good temp.
Sheila: The house was very nice and everyone was very accommodating and available to help with any problems.
Katie: The house was very charming - everything about it was clean,well kept, and comfortable. My kids loved the yard, play set, and especially the horses grazing on the property. I would definitely rent it again if we head back to Akron in the future. Thanks :)
Zac: The host was very informative on setting us up in the house. The house was very nice. It is in a very pretty country setting. The house is well appointed and just what we needed. I would stay here again and would recommend it to others looking to stay in the Akron area.
Erica: Great place to stay if visiting in the area. The house was super comfortable and in great shape and the yard was just beautiful. Tallmadge central is close by with some nice restaurants. Ian was very responsive and accommodating.
Eileen: Thank you Ian, the house was just right for our stay in Tallmadge. We were working in nearby Ravenna and it was wonderful to stay in your house as opposed to a hotel. The site was quiet, and we enjoyed the horses out the back window. Beds were comfy and clean. Lynn met us when we arrived and showed us all around. Thank you again.
Jillian: I stayed at the house for 6 months thanks to Ian. He was so accommodating for my long stay. Through the whole winter he and his mother were always available if I needed anything. They were respectful of my privacy and went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable and had the best stay possible! I would definitely recommend staying at this house!!
Fatiha: I am no stranger to traveling to Akron, Ohio and also no stranger to the poor standard of hotels on offer. And after checking into one of America's leading hotel chain rooms and not being able to open the window we duly checked out the next morning. Fortunately, we found a lovely house in nearby Tallmadge available and how delightful and refreshing this particular stay proved to be in comparison to past years. Never again will we seek to stay in an Akron area hotel. The house is ideally located to restaurants, shops and located in a wonderful leafy rural like setting. The house itself is charming, beds comfortable, modern bathroom and overall a delight to come back to at the end of each of the days we were present.

What an incredible value! The place was clean, well stocked with everything we could need for utensils, plates, towels, etc. And dog friendly, too! Thank you so much for opening up your home to us, we can't wait to be back.
Tucked away nicely on a peaceful property -this stay was relaxing, comfortable, and memorable. We had great time exploring the region and city, National Park, and even a night in enjoying a home cooked meal including peach cobbler made possible by the fully stocked modern kitchen - highly recommend...the bed was very comfy we slept so well!

Nice house & property. Great location.Just be sure you bring TOILET PAPER because the host says “it is not his responsibility.”
The house was as advertised. Old, but nice. The grill in the sun room is built into the structure and intimidated me so we did not use it. The old window air conditioners certainly kept the house cool on horribly hot days; but when the one in the living room kicked in- the lights in the entire house blinked on and off. The location was truly central, and we were close to everything. All in all it was a good place for us. Thank You.
This property was just as advertised. Our favorite part was the enclosed back porch where we spent most of our time. The bedrooms worked well for everyone and having two bathrooms was good. A bonus was getting to see deer in the backyard! Highly recommend it you need a place to stay in the area.
My children are grown and have families of there own, so finding a place where we could all stay together was wonderful! The place was clean and comfortable for everyone! We were able to visit extended family while staying there. We plan to be back in the future!
Sweet 100+yr old farmhouse in a great location, close to everything we needed with a large yard. The owner was very responsive to any questions/concerns.

Farmhouse of fun
Loved the Piano. Owner was on the ball and very helpful.
The location of this property is perfect: close to Cuyahoga Valley National Park and near to many great restaurants. The setting was quiet and peaceful. The house had everything we needed, but bear in mind that it is an older farm house, which inevitably comes with its quirks and an over-worn appearance. The linens and towels were nice and clean. Thank you for a good stay!
Very quiet Victorian farmhouse in good area. Pictures do not do it justice. Would definitely stay again. Potholes in driveway are an issue especially when raining.
This was exactly what we were looking for. The nice quiet property to hang out in while my daughter and her friends were spending time together. It was exactly what I needed so that I had space to move around and do what I needed to while she was off doing what she needed to.
We had a WONDERFUL time, just as the pictures described it. Bedding could use updating (matress in master needs replacing) but it was fantastic. Thank you Ian for sharing your home. I WILL recommend.
Very cute house with fully outfitted kitchen and comfortable living room furniture. The master bedroom be was very comfortable, but the other beds were hard.
What a cute farmhouse. Plenty of space for 5 adults. Very close to where we needed to be. We were very comfortable. Great communication with property owner. A+ all the way around.

Ohio getaway
We left a pillow on site. Is there a cheap way to get a return?
Four adult males met on a mini-retreat. The facility was adequate to our needs. Room temperatures were Ok and controllable in the bedrooms. The living room and kitchen seemed on the cool side as evening approached. It didn't quite get to as warm as desired. The bathrooms were OK but awkward as to access through the master bedroom.
The property was in the right location for what we needed. Loved the charm of the older home. The pictures represent what to expect. Ian was quick to respond to questions. Thanks
