Very enjoyable stay on the lake

Experiencing sunsets in comfort two feet from the water was mesmerizing with the reflections on the lake, the birds and ducks swooping about, and the family boating to their delight.

Relaxing with beautiful views

This property is situated directly on Portage Lake. It is beautifully decorated and the beds are incredibly comfortable. The hot tub was the perfect place to relax after a long day even with it being winter. It was within 20 min of all the places I had to visit on this trip, with many options for food delivery. I will definitely be booking this property again when visiting my family in OH.

What a way to wake up every morning overlooking the water.

Just unbelievable place to stay with my family. My daughter had a Futsal tournament in Akron. It was only a $200 dollar difference between 2 hotel rooms at the Hilton Garden's, or have the luxury of staying at this beautiful property.

Birthday/Retirement/New Job/New Baby / Recovery Celebration

We enjoyed a much needed family get together to celebrate so many happy family events. This was a perfect setting for relaxed family fun! We cooked, relaxed and enjoed our time together! This was much needed and possible as this was an ideal setting and centrally located for our group. The home had everything we needed and our hosts were super responsive! We had a blast. The views from the dining room and hot tub were breathtaking!

Simply amazing

The families who own this house know what they are doing. Everything was absolutely amazing from the cleanliness of the house and the hot tub, to the sharpest knives and amazing coffee center. We had a little friend get away and this house was the perfect distance for all of us. We pretty much sat outside near the hot tub every day, just talking, fishing and enjoying life. The sunsets were absolutely amazing !!!! Thank you for letting us stay in your beautiful home. We will be back.❤️🍁🍂

Golf trip/ guys trip

I myself have a house and Portage Lakes but had 15 guys coming up for the weekend from Pittsburgh where i live. So we needed an extra house. This property is amazing! Little jealous because its nicer than my lakehouse, lol. Its just perfect, what a job decorating and furnishing this property. Cant wait to use it again next year.

Quiet Getaway

We had an excellent stay at this nicely renovated home right next to the water's edge. Our stay was the middle of March so we knew weather would be a gamble. Unfortunately it turned cold and windy which hindered outside activity, but we made the best of it in the sunny dining room. We also found many fun things to do indoors at local establishments: a concert at Akron Civic Theater, many good wineries, and great local bars with local bands, good food, and trivia contests. Ohio residents are awesome!

Would have been great even without the eclipse!

We had a perfect vantage point for our main travel goal, seeing the eclipse, but the house itself was very comfortable and charming. The view over the lake was always welcome, as were our hosts, who were always responsive and helpful. Excellent set up for a family looking for a quiet spot to explore the parks nearby--the only heads up I would give is to plan your sleeping arrangements well if you have small kids. The floors do creak, so the basement is going to be noisy. We got creative with childproofing the stairs, but we all had a blast!

Everything you could want!

Everything was provided for our stay! Very comfortable. Nice area as well. Two suggestions. The broken step on the waterside door. We would have fixed but didn't have our tools. Also the Chlorine needs to be better marked. We thought it was salt and pepper. Kind of funny but could have been dangerous. You have a very nice updated lake home!

Very Charming Weekend Getaway

Very nice, for our families long weekend. We were at the dock the most, enjoyed the Hot Tub. We really enjoyed all of our family meals in the Dining room, great views of the water. Made S’mores around the fire pit on 2 nights. We also attended an Akron Rubber Ducks Ballgame. On our last day, we rented a Pontoon, and toured the lake area. We also used the kayaks. We had an awesome time!

Portage Lakes Vacation

Our family of 4 had a wonderful time and plenty of space at Waterside. There’s a beautiful view off the back which we loved to look at while eating and playing games, the kitchen is a little under stocked but nothing that would stop us from staying here again. Good location to lots of places and we were even close enough to make a quick trip into Cleveland. We would stay at Waterside again.
