Welcome to our slice of heaven nestled on the main chain of Portage Lakes. Step into a world where every moment feels like a gentle caress of nature, and every breath is filled with the pure essence of relaxation.

This charming lakefront retreat offers a seamless blend of rustic charm and modern comfort. As you step through the door, be greeted by the warm embrace of natural light dancing through the windows, illuminating the cozy interior with its inviting ambiance. Picturesque windows with an up close and personal view of the lake, so close to the clock tower, you can hear the chime of the bells!

Indulge in the luxury of space as you explore the open-concept living area, thoughtfully adorned with lake life furnishings and tasteful decor. Sink into the embrace of the sumptuous sofa, sip on a cup of freshly brewed coffee, and lose yourself in the breathtaking panorama of the tranquil waters stretching out before you.

The heart of this home is the fully equipped kitchen, where culinary delights come to life amidst a backdrop of awe-inspiring views. Whip up a delicious meal or simply gather around the dining table with loved ones for a memorable feast filled with laughter and joy. The kitchen boasts open space layout with table seating for six and island seating for three, ensuring everyone can gather comfortably for meals and conversations.

After a day of exploration, retreat to the master bedroom featuring an adjustable setting sleep comfort queen bed, promising nights of restful sleep. The master bedroom shares a Jack and Jill bathroom with a beautifully updated tile shower, shared with the second bedroom, which features a full-size bed, creating a serene space for relaxation.

Additionally, the lower level offers a third bedroom off of the fully updated full bathroom, providing ample accommodation.

Step outside onto the spacious patio and feel the cares of the world melt away as you bask in the gentle caress of the sun’s warm rays. Fire up the grill for a lakeside dining experience or simply lounge in the comfortable patio furniture, including a swinging egg chair, Adirondack chairs, beautiful landscaping with a rock waterfall feature, and a patio table with an umbrella. As the evening unfolds, gather around the fire pit with stunning views of lights dancing off the lake, its twinkling surface reflecting the starlit sky above.

For those seeking relaxation, immerse yourself in the soothing waters of the hot tub overlooking the lake, offering the perfect romantic vantage point to unwind and rejuvenate. And for the adventurous spirits, make use of the two free kayaks to explore the pristine waters or indulge in friendly competition with a variety of games and a PlayStation console.

At our lakefront retreat, every moment is an opportunity to reconnect with yourself and the ones you love. So leave the hustle and bustle of everyday life behind and immerse yourself in the serenity of lakeside living. Your perfect getaway awaits.
Book your stay today and let the magic of Portage Lakes create memories that will last a lifetime.

Great house
My college friends and stayed here for a short weekend trip. It was a very nice and clean house. The property manager stayed in communication and was very helpful. We also hiked at Cuyahoga Valley NP which is only about 25-30 minutes away from the house. Over all we had a great experience and we would stay there again in the future!

Perfect getaway
I rented this for a small group of friends for my 30th birthday and it was the perfect retreat! It was a great size for the 8 of us and the property was beautiful!! The host was super responsive and was able to fix the temperature for us immediately when I reached out to say it was a little warm in the house. The only thing I would warn future guests about is a tiny 1” ledge that runs through the middle of the main area that we kept tripping on until we used a reflective piece of decoration I had brought on the step to help remind us. We had such a great time and I would totally book it again!

Great stay at the lakes for the eclipse
Wonderful stay in this lovely, comfy home on the lake. Everything was clean and kitchen had everything we needed to prepare meals. Loved that we could bring our dog and that the yard is fully fenced. Would love to come back in warmer weather to swim & kayak the lake.

Family getaway, fun & relaxing
We stayed at this lake house while visiting our son at Kent State. It was the perfect place for our family to hang out together and enjoy some fun and relaxation. Very peaceful location with beautiful view, really enjoyed the hot tub on the deck. They had everything we needed for an enjoyable stay, beds were very comfortable, kitchen was fully equipped, and there are many board games which our family enjoyed. The host was quick to respond to messages and very accommodating when we had questions or requests. We ate at Tres Potrillos in Tallmadge on her recommendation and it was definitely the best Mexican food! We had pizza delivered from Upper Crust and ate at The Boathouse for breakfast and both were very good. We will definitely return for future visits to see our son, we could not have found a better place to stay.
