Great location for our event at Ken Stewart's Grille. Plenty of space for 6 adults. Couldn't keep my husband off the arcade game and the hot tub was a great way to relax.
House was exactly as described. The host was easy to reach and checked in multiple times throughout the stay to ensure our comfort. Nice central location to the national Park, Pro Football Hall of Fame, and Cleveland attractions. Quiet neighborhood. Only downfall was very small master shower, but we all just used the hall bath shower.
The house was perfect for our family visit around the holidays. Plenty of comfortable beds, bathrooms, and a well-equipped kitchen. We appreciate that the TV is in a separate room for the kids or adults to enjoy away from where people are gathered to converse. The hot tub is a fun and relaxing bonus.
This rental was clean, comfortable and provided everything we needed for a family stay. We planned to cook, knowing the kitchen was stocked with all items needed. The beds were comfortable and the neighborhood was quiet.
Our stay was absolutely fantastic. The home was clean and spacious. The location was ideal and the host was helpful and responsive. We would definitely stay here again.
Nicely renovated home. Our family of 5 - all adults, stayed here while visiting Cuyahoga Valley National Park. The house is only about 20 minutes from most of the main hiking trails at CVNP. Beds all comfortable and the hot tub was a nice way to relax after hiking.
This house was just as advertised. Everything was really clean, and the house is well-stocked! Plenty of dishes, towels, etc. We enjoyed the deck and the hot tub, and the furniture and beds were very comfortable! It is in a great location central to things around Akron. As a bonus it is walking distance to the trails at Sand Run Park.

Thank you for your review, Heather. We're glad the house was clean, well-stocked, and comfortable for your stay. It's great to hear you enjoyed the deck, hot tub, and the convenient location near Sand Run Park trails. We hope to welcome you back again!
Perfect home base for a Cuyahoga National Park trip!
My husband and I along with our other two other married friends needed a place to call home for a few days while we explored Cuyahoga Valley NP. This home was the perfect place for us! Plenty of space, solid proximity to everything, great aesthetics, comfortable layout with all the essentials. The backyard was peaceful and the hot tub was great after hiking. Highly recommend :)
We had a lovely time visiting Cuyahoga National Park, seeing the Brandywine Falls, riding the Towpath Trail, hiking in Sand Run, shopping at the Farmer's Markets, eating at Wally Waffle (highly recommend), etc., etc. The home had the space we needed, and thoroughly enjoyed the hot tub. The neighborhood was not our favorite, but yet we never felt unsafe. It is clear that the owners are working hard to start up this new business venture, and I give them praise for their efforts. There we a few issues at first, but the owners responded immediately and made it right. The communication was exceptional.

Thank you for the great review. Glad you enjoyed exploring Cuyahoga National Park, Brandywine Falls, the Towpath Trail, Sand Run, the farmers’ markets — and Wally Waffle. Happy the home had the space you needed and that you enjoyed the hot tub. We appreciate your understanding about the neighborhood and your note that you never felt unsafe. Thanks for recognizing our efforts and for mentioning we resolved the initial issues quickly; we aim to keep communication timely. We’d welcome the chance to host you again.
We had a great stay. The layout worked wonderful for what we needed. Rooms were large and it worked great for our sleeping needs. It was a quick 30 minute drive down to Canton for the Stagg Bowl. The hot tub was a special treat on a cold January day!!The only drawbacks were: The location - this could of been our GPS - but it didn't seem like there was a good direct way to come and go from the home. There were a lot of turns on to different streets to make it a direct street that would take you to a highway or shopping. Although, the neighborhood seemed very peaceful so that may be a payoff for the winding streets. The only other negative thing that we experienced is there wasn't enough flatware or serving utensils. We had dinner with 8 people and had to wash forks for dessert.Overall we had a great stay and our communication with Dan was easy. We would recommend it to friends and family.
The house was well kept and spotless. A very quiet neighborhood ,everything supplied in the house right downdown to soaps and shampoo!
Plenty of clean towels and comfortable befs. I would reccomend to anyone and will be a repeat customer. to siaps
We were up in Akron for a couple if days for a concert. House is conveniently located near many attractions. We enjoyed a show at EJ
Thomas and visited Stan Hywet. The home was spotless, and comfortable. We slept well with the comfy beds and quiet neighborhood. We enjoyed our stay. There is a lot to explore in Akron and if you love architecture, this area is ideal to visit. There are so many beautiful homes in the area.

Traveling with my large family especially over the Christmas holiday can be a challenge but NOT this time!! The check in process was seamless, the home was spacious and accommodating for my large family of 8! The rooms and bed were beyond comfortable plus they even had soaps/shampoo if we forgot! My boys loved the basement which had an amazing collection of games— my hubby even got in on the fun!! The Kitchen was great as well!! We will definitely be booking again when visit family again!’ Thank you so much for making my holiday relaxing and family comfortable!
