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.

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 for many miles.

Ks
Great comfy old farm house. Parlor with baby grand piano was 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.

The house was as advertised. Old, but nice. The grill in the sun room is built into the structure and intimidated me so we did not use it. The old window air conditioners certainly kept the house cool on horribly hot days; but when the one in the living room kicked in- the lights in the entire house blinked on and off. The location was truly central, and we were close to everything. All in all it was a good place for us. Thank You.

Great Stay!

This property was just as advertised. Our favorite part was the enclosed back porch where we spent most of our time. The bedrooms worked well for everyone and having two bathrooms was good. A bonus was getting to see deer in the backyard! Highly recommend it you need a place to stay in the area.

Home needs upkeep

The ceiling in he kitchen was peeling and could potentially fall into food. The gutter on the front of the home was hanging down and not attached. The home itself is really dated and could use updating. The instructions for use of the home were minimal at best. The one bedroom had no heat. There were instructions for a supposed cable TV but either there was no cable TV or the instructions were wrong. We were supposed to have use of 4 bedrooms but only 3 were unlocked.

Fair Experience

The house itself was interesting due to its age. The property was set off the main road so it was quiet. The house did have an unusual smell as reported by some other guests. The couch/sofa was not in great condition and not very comfortable. There was also a safety issue with a 1/2 door to basement steps that should be addressed.

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.

Mixed feelings about property

The house was in a nice & peaceful location. It made visiting Cuyahoga NP easy. It provided quite a bit of space. It’s dog friendly. Communication with Ian was spotty. My initial request to rent timed out. He was slow to respond to questions. With less than 24hrs to check in I still had no information on how to get in to the rental. I had to email and text him before I got told the location of the keys. We knew we were renting an old house. It had an odd odor and seemed stale. The bedding did not smell clean. From our viewpoint the house needs some work before renting. Paint is peeling off walls and ceiling. There is a piece of plywood (or something similar) filling a large area in the ceiling that does not look stable. We understood keeping some rooms locked to reduce room use. Based on the listing description we didn’t know which rooms would be open. As 2 people staying a small room (full bed) on the ground floor next to a bathroom was open along with a larger room (queen bed) upstairs. The upstairs room was much more hot, stale and farther from the bathroom so we opted to stay in the lower room. Sleeping in the smaller bed was not ideal, but the cooler atmosphere and proximity to the bathroom trumped more space. Numerous dishes that were pulled out of the cabinet had dried food stuck to them. Overall we enjoyed our trip to the area but we would not stay at this house again.

Great location with all the comforts of home

Tucked away nicely on a peaceful property -this stay was relaxing, comfortable, and memorable. We had great time exploring the region and city, National Park, and even a night in enjoying a home cooked meal including peach cobbler made possible by the fully stocked modern kitchen - highly recommend...the bed was very comfy we slept so well!

Mini-Retreat

Four adult males met on a mini-retreat. The facility was adequate to our needs. Room temperatures were Ok and controllable in the bedrooms. The living room and kitchen seemed on the cool side as evening approached. It didn't quite get to as warm as desired. The bathrooms were OK but awkward as to access through the master bedroom.

Farm House in a Great Setting

The location of this property is perfect: close to Cuyahoga Valley National Park and near to many great restaurants. The setting was quiet and peaceful. The house had everything we needed, but bear in mind that it is an older farm house, which inevitably comes with its quirks and an over-worn appearance. The linens and towels were nice and clean. Thank you for a good stay!

Great location for the Summit County Fairgrounds access

This is the 22nd year we have stayed here, and everything was great. The owner communicated and answered all questions quickly. The house was clean with nice amenities. It is a very old house, so the stairway to the 2nd floor is very narrow. We did not cook anything there, but there was a microwave and coffee maker that we used. Plenty of area for sitting inside or outside. We enjoyed the stay and will be back!

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.
