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.

Cute unique property
Having grown up in the Akron area enjoying our parents summer cottage as a child I was taken back in time with this property on the lake. While our cottage on the lake didn't have indoor plumbing, internet, streaming TV and the decorator touches this property has, it reminded me of years gone by growing up when life was much simpler. If you want to share similar memories with your children or just yourself, this is the place to rent. I spent hours fishing of the dock and kayak although my results were minimal it was still enjoyable. Owner was responsive and timely. My only suggestion is clean the ceiling fan blades in the living room. My wife is a clean freak !

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.
