About this property

1890 Victorian Home in Country Setting, conveniently located

1890’s Victorian style home is comfortably furnished with a fully equipped kitchen and a large dining area, large living room and the old fashion parlor. First floor bathroom includes a tub/shower combo. A four bedroom house with two that are available and others unused unless more guests are booked.

When you stay here, you will enjoy the tranquil setting of the country. Relax with your cup of coffee and a good book on the front porch. Enjoy the evening in the enclosed garden room overlooking the backyard and grilling on the built in charcoal grill. You might see the neighbors’ horses grazing in the fields next to our house. Often we watch the birds, squirrels and other wildlife playing in yard.

Our Guests have access to the entire house with a few exceptions.

The house sits back from the road and the area is full of large oak and maple trees that give it a very established beautiful environment. The original house on this farm was built in 1826 and is across from this house. The original family built my house in 1895 and I am only the third owner of this house since it was built. The 1826 house was part of the Underground Railroad, and my house was built for possible use for that purpose also, but since the Civil War was recently over at the time very little, if any use was made of if for that purpose.

Tallmadge is a great place to live and visit and there are so many things to do and see in our area it is hard to fit them all in this short description! The local farmers market located in the Tallmadge recreation parking lot (46 N Munroe Rd) June through October on Thursdays, 4 to 7pm is a great place to pick up some fresh veggies and meet the local people.

Our house is just a few minutes from Interstate 76 just east of Akron Ohio

Thank you for taking a look at our space. We love our house but at the present time are not able to live in Ohio due to temporary work relocation. Someone will greet you upon arrival to show you around our home and answer any questions you may have.

We want you to feel at home but ask that you treat our space better then you would a hotel.

*We do allow pets (each pet must be approved before booking) This means I will be asking you questions about your furry family member.

PLEASE NOTE: Bedrooms are made available based upon the number of guests. (Two guests will only have a maximum of two bedrooms, etc). THE SECOND BATHROOM is part of the fourth bedroom. If the second bathroom is desired guests must notify the homeowner before arriving so that arrangements can be made. An additional cleaning fee may apply if the second bathroom is requested for less guests.

REVIEWS FROM PAST GUESTS:

Mason:
My wife and I stayed at Ian's home for one night during a cross country trip. It is a charming old farmhouse on a large property with 2 nice horses one property away. We enjoyed staying here and we appreciate this being the only Airbnb for many miles.

Ks
Great comfy old farm house. Parlor with baby grand piano and marimba were a bonus. Tallmadge was a nice area to explore from, and our hosts did everything they could to be sure we were comfortable and had what we needed.

Colin:
We had a great time at the home. It was very nice and very comfortable. The host was very welcoming and available for any concerns we may have had (though we had none). We would definitely stay there again. Thank you!!

Heather
The house was quite and easy to locate. We only stayed one night and the window a/c kept the house at a good temp.

Sheila:
The house was very nice and everyone was very accommodating and available to help with any problems.

Katie:
The house was very charming - everything about it was clean,well kept, and comfortable. My kids loved the yard, play set, and especially the horses grazing on the property. I would definitely rent it again if we head back to Akron in the future. Thanks :)

Zac:
The host was very informative on setting us up in the house. The house was very nice. It is in a very pretty country setting. The house is well appointed and just what we needed. I would stay here again and would recommend it to others looking to stay in the Akron area.

Erica:
Great place to stay if visiting in the area. The house was super comfortable and in great shape and the yard was just beautiful. Tallmadge central is close by with some nice restaurants. Ian was very responsive and accommodating.

Eileen:
Thank you Ian, the house was just right for our stay in Tallmadge. We were working in nearby Ravenna and it was wonderful to stay in your house as opposed to a hotel. The site was quiet, and we enjoyed the horses out the back window. Beds were comfy and clean. Lynn met us when we arrived and showed us all around. Thank you again.

Jillian:
I stayed at the house for 6 months thanks to Ian. He was so accommodating for my long stay. Through the whole winter he and his mother were always available if I needed anything. They were respectful of my privacy and went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable and had the best stay possible! I would definitely recommend staying at this house!!

Fatiha:
I am no stranger to traveling to Akron, Ohio and also no stranger to the poor standard of hotels on offer. And after checking into one of America's leading hotel chain rooms and not being able to open the window we duly checked out the next morning. Fortunately, we found a lovely house in nearby Tallmadge available and how delightful and refreshing this particular stay proved to be in comparison to past years. Never again will we seek to stay in an Akron area hotel. The house is ideally located to restaurants, shops and located in a wonderful leafy rural like setting. The house itself is charming, beds comfortable, modern bathroom and overall a delight to come back to at the end of each of the days we were present.

A cozy Retreat in a Victorian Home
Our stay at this home was like stepping back into history. From the moment we stepped through the door, we were greeted with warmth and attention to detail that made us feel right at home. The property is beautiful and perfect for kids to play outside as well as the dog running around. Plenty of sleeping space as well as relaxing space to unplug. The only thing that was different was that the home only had one bathroom, which was downstairs. The location was ideal, offering easy access to major stores just 5 min away. We stayed there to spend a couple of days at Cuyahoga National Park which is only 30 minutes away. We really had a great time and made lovely memories with our family. The host left easy check-in and check-out instructions and was very professional and quick in getting back to me in the Vrbo chat. Thank you for providing us with a home away from home.

Lots of charm...needs some TLC
We had a nice stay. This house is in a quiet location. Everything seemed clean. I will say, if you have allergies or a sensitive respiratory system, this rental is not for you. All of us had a hard time breathing and were stuffed up. We opened the windows and left them open to help air out the house when we were there. The kitchen and living room were a nice place to gather, as was the porch. Would rent again if the place was more healthy.

Why they chose this property

I was not looking for a home when I bought this property. As a child I grew up on a dairy farm in the country and this property immediately made me feel totally at home while still being very conveniently located. I fell in love at first sight. I immediately put my previous home up for sale in the city of Akron and bought this property.

What makes this property unique

***NOTE pictures of an enclosed patio with an indoor BBQ that is built into the chimney. Charcoal, not gas.

All surrounding properties are larger lots and were part of the original farm this house was part of. The house sits back from the road and the area is full of large oak and maple trees that give it a very established beautiful environment. The original house on this farm was built in 1826 and is across from this house. The original family built my house in 1895 and I am only the third owner of this house since it was built. The 1826 house was part of the Underground Railroad, and my house was built for possible use for that purpose also, but since the Civil War was recently over at the time very little, if any use was made of if for that purpose.
