The house was very clean and comfortable. We appreciated that the house was well-stocked with common kitchen and bathroom items. When we arrived we found bottled waters in the fridge, an assortment of coffees and teas, and more than enough paper towels, toilet paper, hand soap, shampoo, and conditioner. The hosts checked in with us daily to make sure we had everything we needed, which was nice.

The lil' lake house was a fantastic place to stay! The house itself is tastefully decorated with comfortable and visually appealing furniture. It wad off-the-charts clean, which was greatly appreciated. The kitchen was well-equipped to handle meal prep and reheating alike. Julie was the consummate host, reaching out several times throughout our stay to ensure we had all we needed. Having the ability to do laundry during our stay was a game-changer on our road trip, and we marveled at how clean the basement, where the machines are located, was kept. The fenced-in area out back is small, but servivable. The back steps to get outside are a little wonky and were challenging withour elderly dog, but i think a younger, heathier pup would be fine. The nearby lake was a nice place to walk. Another reviewer described the surrounding area as being "economically depressed", and it's true that some of the homes need a little love, but the neighborhood is clean and relatively quiet; it was a peaceful and pleasant home base while we hiked at CVNP. There was some road noise in the evenings, but it didnt really disturb is too much. All in, we loved our stay here, and will definitely seek to stay ahain next time we're in the area!

Great place to walk your dogs.Lots of cool little restaurants close by. I recommend DeCheco's pizza.The off street parking and fenced in yard are great!

Checking in was a snap. The host contacted me with the information needed prior to our arrival and everything went smoothly. The kitchen was stocked with snacks and a few bottles of water so that we were able to wait until the next morning to stock up for our stay. Also there were coffee pods! The instructions for checking out were short and sweet. So, no problems on that end either! Our stay was comfortable and the location was convenient for our daily trips to the covered bridges, rock and rock Hall of Fame, Cuyahoga Falls National Park, and the Blossom Music Center. Right out the door of our rental was a lake side path which I used for my morning jog each day. The community was very quiet and pleasant. An excellent location and super hosts!

This cute little house has been nicely refurbished, and we had a very comfortable and enjoyable stay. It is convenient to downtown, to Cuyahoga NP and across the street from a nice walking path around the lake. The hosts were excellent to work with. The surrounding area is economically depressed but was generally very quiet and we didn't have any problems.

Lake house stay

Our little family enjoyed the cozy accommodations. We took our small dog walking on the path around the lake across the street. Saw Heron and turtles. We also hiked in Cuyahoga Valley National Park about 25 minutes from the house. The coffee, snacks and water at the house were much appreciated.
