Great house! Fenced yard!!!
Great place. Perfect location, very nice and safe. It was fun looking at all the mansions in the neighborhood. Dave is very nice and answers text and calls. The house literally has everything one could possibly need, from kitchen to laundry room. We will definitely be back the next time we are we are in Akron.

Throwback to the 60s
The area is nice & quiet with a train coming by every so often but not in an intrusive way. Actually, very quaint style. Home is very dated in kitchen & bathroom fixtures. Kitchen items are there but definitely more than gently used. Appliances needed a cleaning before used. Coffee, tea, & other items were stale & expired. I would suggest packing ur own if u'r looking for freshness.The main's bed was comfy. The toilet was low & the better of the 2 TBH. The hall bathroom's toilet was extremely low.Toilets are very very low to the ground. I'm 5'5" & my husband is 6'4" ... we both had issues. He kinda looked like he was being potty trained. (Sorry for painting a picture but it's accurate) Livingroom furniture is very grandma-esk. Diningroom table is very antique however in a very good way. Beautiful table & chairs (they do need some upholstery done to the seats since some have tears in them). Experience wise with Host ...Immediately when we got in the electricity went out. I contacted Dan & asked where the circuit breaker was so my hubby could care for it so he didn't have to come out in the rain. Dan did ascertain from neighbors that it was an area outage. I asked in general how long are they normally. He then gave me quite a few scenarios that were from car crashing into pole to other accidents. Whereas, I was just looking for high wind & teeming rain time period. I get that things can't be foreseen like that at all. Just trying to get a general idea. It

Very comfortable home away from home in a great location
Dan’s place was perfect for our party of 5 when we were in town visiting family. The area is quiet and well-kept and the house was quite comfortable and spacious. More than enough seating and room to move around. We cooked and prepped several meals and had no trouble finding everything we needed in the kitchen. We were also grateful for 2 full bathrooms with great water pressure (it makes a difference when you have long hair!).
The lightning bugs were abundant in Dan’s backyard, a rare site for these suburban Texas folks.
Nearby Happy Tails Thrift Store was fantastic as was downtown Cuyahoga Falls if you’re looking for things to do. Not to mention the national park and the multitude of trails.
Dan’s communication was great both before and during our stay and check-in was simple.
We would absolutely return for another stay.

Our stay was wonderful! House was in a very safe and beautiful area. We were late arrivals and home owners left us a basket of fruit and snacks. How incredibly nice was that!

Super nice neighborhood - great place
We really enjoyed staying at this house for our time in Akron. The neighborhood is safe and friendly; it only took us 30 minutes to get home from a concert at Blossom, which was a real plus. Dan was an accessible and friendly host, and we would definitely rent this home again the next time we're in the area. Yes, it's an older home but it felt like we were AT HOME (i.e, nothing contrived). Style points for a wood plaque from Strasburg; my family had the same one from our European travels! Thank you to Dan for providing us with a very nice accommodation!
