Cozy Hillside home, designed for both comfort and durability. Pets Welcome

Offering the perfect haven to unwind after a day of hiking, bike riding, sightseeing or just visiting the city. This house doesn't shy away from its age; in fact, it's the ideal haven for those who appreciate a no-frills, rugged aesthetic. It beckons to those who appreciate the allure of yesteryears. Pets are welcome however pet guest fees do Apply. 1 dog max.

This charming piece of history nestled on a hillside is a quaint 1919-built house. It isn't newly constructed, so we ask that you expect some things to be imperfect. For example the floors and steps may creek, you may have to give windows and doors an extra tug and their may be slightly uneven flooring areas due to setting. All of these things can be expected considering the age of the house. We like to call it character.

However, it's important to note that this house may not be suitable for everyone. If you have health issues or physical limitations, please consider carefully before booking, as the house features steep steps both indoors and outdoors that can be challenging to navigate.

Additionally, for the safety of our guests, we do not recommend this house for families with children under the age of five. The age of the house, combined with its location near traffic, makes it a potentially risky environment for young ones.

While this house may not be adorned for sheer beauty, its simplicity in staging prioritizes comfort and ease of use. It's the ideal haven for those who appreciate a no-frills, rugged aesthetic that offers a practical and inviting space to call home during your stay.

Hardwood floors throughout. There are no TV's in the bedrooms and be cautious of the sloped ceiling in the bedrooms as well.

Accessing your cozy retreat is an adventure in itself, as the steep steps and narrow driveway can be a bit challenging due to it's tight squeeze. This driveway can comfortably fit two small cars at most, and sits snug between the houses. The driveway is shared at the moment. However, guest should have no issues parking in the driveway. There is an additional parking lot across the street that guest can use if the driveway in not sufficient (No worries, I own the parking lot) There is also a sign up stating House Keys parking Only. The driveway is on a hill, so if your vehicle is low to the ground, cut your wheels when pulling in and out of the driveway to avoid scraping spoiler due to the slope of the drive. Be cautions of traffic and pedestrians when backing out. If driveway is unacceptable or inadequate remember there is a parking lot across the street for guest use.

Due to the proximity of the house to downtown, there is a steady flow of traffic until about 6pm nightly during the week.

We are conveniently located 3 mins to downtown Akron, Eclectic Highland Square (2.5 miles/6 min drive), the Cuyahoga Valley National Park (6 miles/11 min drive) and the Blossom Music Center (8 miles/15 min drive). Street exits directly off highway Rt. 8 North and South making for an easy drive to Cleveland, Canton, and Cuyahoga Falls. Memorial Parkway Trailhead and BARC Dog Park 2 min. drive/ 12 min. walk.

There is a beautiful shared side lot with a picnic table and BBQ grill for guest to utilize during their stay. If you prefer a more intimate setting, there is a grill and sitting area in the back of the house as well.

We do allow pets at this unit with written approval prior to booking. So if you have any allergies or concerns, we kindly ask that you seek another unit more suitable.

Do not rent
Very run down. Pictures looked great but we're not updated. Glass and trash in the driveway. Over grown weeds and grass. The inside also had a odor.

Very cute & cozy home
The home was beautifully decorated, super cute with antique vibes, very clean and the bed that we used was very comfortable & clean. The pictures and description of home are accurate. Close to Cuyahoga Falls, where we visited during our stay. This was our first time visiting the area, we definitely would like to visit again. The driveway is steep, if you don’t feel comfortable parking across the street make sure you have an ebrake. The road the house is on has lots of traffic and can be noisy at times if you’re not use to traffic sounds, the neighbors house is very close. Overall I would recommend this house, the host LaVone was lovely and easy to communicate with. She checked on us during our short stay to make sure we had everything we needed.
