There is an exterior camera onsite to monitor the driveway and walkways to the entry door. We want to ensure caretakers have been to the property and the home is ready for arriving guests. The cameras do not infringe on guest privacy and are there for insurance and liability purposes.

You have access to the entire home at both properties except storage in the basement.

Hosts are nearby to assist you with any needs you may have!

Uber is fast and reliable in this area. DoorDash and UberEats are a super simple way to have food delivered to the door.

If you have your own vehicle, there is parking in the driveway or in the private garage at the Dutch Colonial or on the street. Please be mindful that the driveway at The Dutch Colonial is a shared driveway with our neighbors. Please ensure you do not block access to their side. The Akron Retreat has its own private driveway and garage for parking or also on the street.

Our home can comfortably accommodate up to 13 guests (we have 4 bedrooms with one queen size bed in each room and the other property has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms). To ensure the home is cleaned properly and to cover related expenses that naturally come with larger reservation sizes we have implemented the following:

-No additional guests are permitted during your stay other than who is disclosed in your reservation.

-At no additional fee, we have 3 pack and plays and 3 high chairs available. At the time of your reservation, please notify us and we will have everything set up for you upon arrival.

-This home is in a residential community and there is a noise ordnance in place after 9PM.

- The fireplace at Akron Dutch Colonial is for decoration only. Please do not attempt to light any fires in this fireplace.

-The yards are partially fenced in. Please be aware of this if you have young children.

-We do not allow pets inside our homes. If you have a trained service animal, (Service animals are working animals that have been trained to perform specific tasks that assist disabled people) you MUST disclose this at booking. We will have to arrange for special cleaning after your departure.

- We are happy to allow you an earlier arrival or later departure IF it is available that day, although I will not know until 24 hours beforehand. However, if you would like to guarantee an earlier arrival or later departure then there is a fee required to block off the additional time and/orincrease the size of the cleaning crew in order to accomodate.

- Our fee is $50/hour for up to 4 hours of more time, more than that, we ask that you book an additional night.

Great Hospitality

There were snacks waiting for the groom and his groomsmen the night before our wedding. They felt right at home and welcomed before the big day and that’s just what they needed. The house is very clean, comfortable and up to date. Would definitely recommend staying here. Communication with the host was excellent, they were very easy going, responded quickly, and were very easy to work with concerning any requests we had.

McKaylas lovely home

We stayed at McKayla’s home for a nearby wedding. We booked two nights and only were able to spend one because our plans changed. We felt very much at home here. Lovely design, comfortable beds and great communication. Would stay again if in the area!

Golf Getaway

We were 4 long time friends who needed their own space on a golf getaway. This property was exactly what we needed. Plenty of space, comfortable beds, well stocked amenities, very clean and updated. The host was extremely accommodating and easy to work with. I highly recommend this place.

Immaculate home

The house was immaculate with lots of attention to detail. We were a party of 3 adults who all had their own bedrooms, each bed was very comfortable. The two bathrooms had plush towels and excellent water pressure. The property manager went above and beyond answering our questions, giving advice about the area and suggesting great places to find coffee and dinner. I would definitely rent this home away again.
