This property is in a super convenient location just a few steps from the lake. The cute and cozy home is so comfortable and the furnishings were lovely to enjoy some down time. The owner was incredibly responsive, checking in a couple times via text to ensure all was going well. The home is very well stocked! We had everything we needed for a few days’ visit - we were there during a very hot and humid weekend and the two a/c units worked beautifully to keep the place cool. Quiet area, close to lakes, Akron and Cleveland.
