General overview
Two bedroom, two bathroom stay provides comfort and basic amenities for an easy stay. I love the area for the opportunity for everyday adventures, hiking, biking and kayaking.
The condo is walking distance to Cuyahoga Valley National Park. The Cuyahoga River is steps from the front-door, with the ability to kayak.
The Towpath Trail, a crushed-limestone path is 1/4 mile of sidewalks away. This trail allows one to bike to Cleveland (30 miles) or Akron (5 miles). Stay includes bicycle use.
Walk to restaurants and ice cream and groceries and spa.
The space
There are two bedrooms and two full bathrooms.
The front bedroom has blackout curtails and a queen size bed. The adjacent bathroom has an oversized soaking tub and shower.
The back bedroom also has a queen bed with blackout curtains and a connected bathroom with a shower. The bedroom also contains a desk and bookshelves. It is currently used as an office. If the stay is non-simultaneous and you only need one bedroom, this room may be closed for guests.
There is a large family room/ dining room area with a fireplace, desk and table. The kitchen has all the amenities to cook, including air fryer and nonstick pans.
Washer and dryer are available for your use.
The eat-in kitchen walks out to a shared condo backyard. The long view displays the Valley hills. Great Blue Herons and migrating birds are common sights from the back-porch. Cuyahoga Valley is one of the most bio-diverse locations in the world.
Guest access
The condo has one level and a basement. Basement is semi-finished.
Guests will access via the front- door and are provided a key to house.
Notes
There are several bicycles available for your use, including a fat-tire bike, e-bike and recumbent tricycle.
With a license, there is a motorcycle available for use.

Best to get to Akron via air or driving.
