About the Neighborhood






Friendly street and neighbors in a transitioning neighborhood. Only blocks from beautiful stately homes on Jefferson and Dorchester. Great neighborhood for walking with lots of established trees to provide shade along the sidewalks. This home is very close to shopping, great restaurants, bars, The Highland movie theatre, and Downtown Akron. Hospitals and University of Akron are within minutes. Stan Hywet, John Brown House, Akron Children's Museum are very close and it's a 45 minute drive to Cleveland activities. The Mustard Seed, boutique health food grocery store and restaurant is minutes away and a delicious place to stop for lunch! We include a Welcome Binder upon check-in that shares all of our favorite local spots as well as hiking trails nearby and recommendations on fun activities for all ages.






Getting Around in Akron






Uber is fast and reliable in this area. DoorDash and UberEats are a super simple way to have food delivered to the door. If you have your own vehicle, there is parking in the driveway or on the street. Please be mindful that the driveway is a shared driveway with our neighbors. Please ensure you do not block access to their side.






Additional Notes Regarding Your Stay:






Our home can comfortably accommodate up to 8 guests (we have 4 bedrooms with one queen size bed in each room).

-No additional guests are permitted during your stay other than who is disclosed in your reservation.



-Parking is in the driveway or on the street. Two cars can fit into the driveway if one pulls in closest to the garage. This home has a shared driveway with our next-door neighbors so please do not park on their side of the driveway.



-This home is in a residential community and there is a noise ordnance in place after 9PM. -The fireplace is for decoration only. Please do not attempt to light any fires in this fireplace.



-The yard is partially fenced in. Please be aware of this if you have young children.



-We do not allow pets inside our home. If you have a trained service animal, (service animals are working animals that have been trained to perform specific tasks that assist disabled people) you MUST disclose this at booking. We will have to arrange for special cleaning after your departure.



- We are happy to allow you an earlier arrival or later departure IF it is available that day, although I will not know until 24 hours beforehand. However, if you would like to guarantee an earlier arrival or later departure then there is a fee required to block off the additional time and/or increase the size of the cleaning crew in order to accomodate.

This house had everything and was in a great location! Upon entry you can tell the care and pride they have in this home. It was incredibly clean, smelled great, and had everything you could possibly need! The beds were incredibly comfortable and the linens were so nice and soft. The kitchen was stocked, the bathrooms had more towels and washcloths than you could need, they had the nice toilet paper, and there was a nice assortment of games and books! The layout of the bedrooms was great, the gathering areas were welcoming and the comfort of the over all house was amazing! I did have to reach out to the owner to clarify about recycling and got an immediate answer, McKayla was on top of it! Great place to hang out with friends and family while also having the ability to explore!

Absolutely wonderful property in a charming, walkable neighborhood! The host has clearly put a great deal of thought and care into every detail—and it truly shows. From the fully stocked kitchen and laundry area to the multiple cozy conversation spaces, everything is designed with comfort and convenience in mind. The bedrooms and bathrooms are well appointed, and the shower pressure is simply the best. You will not be disappointed—this home is a gem!

Great quick trip

We came as a group of 7 adults from Pittsburgh to stay after hiking at Cuyahoga Valley National Park. This house was perfect for us because it was close to the park, had plenty of space for us to all stay together, and was clean with great amenities. I would book again if we come back to the area!

Akron Highlands

The owners have lovingly restored this home and have made a very comfortable retreat in the Akron/Highlands area. Things that can't be helped is the neighborhood and the streets 'nightlife'. We found ourselves a little uneasy about walking around past dark and were woken up a few times overnight with music, cars and neighboring parties. Hence our 4 out of 5 rating. Also this home isn't for anyone that is physically challenged by stairs.

A Perfect Week

Our family of 5 came from CO to stay for a week, celebrating grandpa’s 80th birthday. Having this house as our home base was absolutely perfect! Plenty of space for everyone, a well appointed kitchen, laundry, and attentive hosts that went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. We will absolutely stay here again when we come back to visit family! Highly recommended! A+!
