Akron (Portage Lakes) Peaceful Lakefront Cottage with Kayaks

Imagine being surrounded by nature away from everything but still only minutes from all the luxuries of what you need & want. Picturesque community in the heart of Portage Lakes that reminds you of what life used to be like. Quiet & enjoyable, whether your cooking out, kayaking on the lake, swimming, or relaxing with a fishing pole. This is a hunting & fishing paradise.
Need or forgot something, Acme fresh market is less than 5 minutes away with no traffic along with an array of restaurants & shops. Not to mention endless parks, biking & hiking trails. 20-25 mins will get you to The Pro Football Hall of Fame, Akron Zoo, The Science Center, Cuyahoga National Forest & Golf courses. The Rock-n-Roll Hall of Fame is 40-45 mins & the No.1 Amusement Park in the World Cedar Point is just over an hour away.
What you will notice about what we are trying to do here is make everything less stressful. Like providing outdoor gas grill, kayaks with life vests for all sizes, Tiki Torches for those nights whether you need them or just want them for ambiance. We also try to surround you with plants & flowers. Binoculars to watch humming birds & owls, wood peckers and other beautiful birds. Everything nature has to offer is just a stay away. We have completely remodeled everything from Fresh paint, New furniture, wood floors, cabinets to the granite counter tops and then some. It will stay nice and (clean) for every guest that stays with us, that's our promise to you. We believe we will be your come back destination. See You Soon... P.S. People with mobility or weight issues may have trouble at our location. Also if you a complain alot & carry a negative energy. Please don't consider us. Anyone can find something wrong with anything. But nobody wants to hear or read about it.

Quiet retreat

My husband and I stayed for a couple of days, and it’s such a beautiful setting! The house is super neat and clean, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay! We enjoyed sitting on the deck soaking in the peacefulness and watching the wildlife by the lake. Our host was wonderful, checking in to be sure we arrived safely (late check-in). The check-in and check out process was super easy and smooth. All in all, this was a terrific experience! Highly recommended this lovely property.

Relaxing Spot To Get Away

My wife and I had a relaxing time at this location. It was great being right on the lake. We were able to fish and kayak from the back yard. It felt safe and secluded.The property manager was great. We had a bad storm come through overnight and lost power. He arranged for someone to come over and clean up the debris without us even asking.And if you are into wildlife, this is a great spot. We saw a bald eagle, hawks, cranes, otters and blue jays...All from the back patio.The location is only a couple minutes away from a grocery store, which was very convenient.

Convenient

We wanted some place close for a long weekend. The house was tiny but tastefully decorated with a nice outdoor area. The dock was safe but could use some updating. Owners were super easy to work with let us keep our boat at the dock. We would stay again!

Perfect place for my kids and I

Traveled over the holidays with my 10 year old and grown teen boys to see family nearby. The house fit our needs perfectly.Read the reviews to get a little more insight into the place beyond the description (other than the one where someone drunkenly walked into a neighbors house). The description is accurate, the reviews, for the most part, are accurate, and when we're back in the area we will absolutely look at staying here again.The host is responsive, the neighborhood is quiet, the lake is great, and the place was exceptionally clean.Thank you for having us Steve!
