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.
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 with gas, 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, floors & trim, 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...

Enjoyed our Stay
We enjoyed our stay. The cottage was nicely decorated and very clean. We had what we needed to cook and be comfortable there. The back yard was so beautiful and we enjoyed relaxing on the deck. There was lots of wild life surrounding the lake - we even observed a Bald Eagle - the provided binoculars helped too. We were close to the Ohio to Erie bike path and enjoyed riding bikes into Akron. The host communicated well and we had a very relaxing time.

Amazing lake view cottage
We really enjoyed kayaking on the lake in the comfortable kayaks supplied by the owner. There was a lot of birdlife on the lake and we sat on the deck and patio enjoying them and the lovely flowers and plantings in the yard. We had fun also checking out Cuyahoga National Park which was not far away.

Relaxing Retreat!
My husband and I just wrapped up spending a week at this cozy cottage. It was truly what the soul needed to find time to slow down and relax and let the stress of everyday life melt away. From the moment you step inside and see the view of Long Lake, you know you are in paradise! It's just mesmerizing and gorgeous! We enjoyed bird watching with the provided binoculars, kayaking and fishing from the private dock. We enjoyed watching all the wildlife and ducks pass by in the water and loved having coffee with the sunrise on the deck. The landscaping and the back area is just perfection. To the prospective renter - please bear in mind this is a SMALL cottage. It's very humble in size but definitely still cozy. Don't come expecting tons of room inside and the Ritz. You're renting a small lake front cottage with well water. We came into this with it in mind but just wanted to put this out for anyone who might be expecting something different. The living room couches are comfortable and the furniture and finishing inside are very nice. Also, the grill outside takes awhile to heat up so plan to get it started up well before you plan to eat. If I could make a few suggestions to the host it would be to maybe provide a small staple pantry with some basic seasonings, cooking oil, sugar, etc. & to maybe think about upgrading the beds and pillows as they weren't very comfy. The host (Steve) was great with communication and responded quickly. We truly fell in love and will book again!

Cute lake Cottage
The property is cute and nicely decorated. Location is very good and close to things. Host was very attentive and communication was great! Just note the downstairs has a spiral staircase that could be a problem if you have mobility issues....The shower is downstairs, the toilet is upstairs. This was not a problem for us but just keep that in mind. The place is very quiet and it was a perfect getaway for us to sit by the water and enjoy the tranquility. Access to the Towpath trail is very close which we enjoyed! Downtown Akron is less than 30 minutes and we enjoyed some very nice downtown restaurants as well.

Loved the easy access to a very quiet lake. Enjoyed kayaking and time on the deck. We ate out and were on the golf course or hiking/biking at Cuyahoga National Park during most of the day, so we spent little time in the cottage.
