About this property
4-bedroom cottage in peaceful Portage Lakes w/ hottub, lake access, pet friendly
Welcome to Your Serene Lakefront Sanctuary –Four Bedrooms- featuring two Luxurious Master Suites/ complete with glam bathrooms!
This fully updated lakefront retreat offers a private and relaxed setting, away from the hustle and bustle of the main Portage Lakes chain, yet still within easy reach of all the area’s top attractions. Just minutes from all the Portage Lakes hot spots, guests can enjoy the most vibrant atmosphere the region has to offer. You’ll also find yourself close to the Tudor House on Manchester Road, Cuyahoga Valley National Park, Firestone Country Club, the Pro Football Hall of Fame, and more — offering endless opportunities for outdoor adventure and exploration!
As you step through the door, you’ll be greeted by breathtaking views of the tranquil waters stretching out before you — inviting you to unwind and embrace the serenity of your surroundings.
Indulge in the luxury of space as you explore the open-concept living area, thoughtfully adorned with plush furnishings and tasteful decor. Sink into the huge custom sectional couch, sip a glass of wine, and relax in the 4-person hot tub located on the patio, complete with a lake view.
The heart of the home is the fully equipped kitchen, featuring granite countertops, modern appliances, and everything you need to create culinary delights. Cook with locally sourced ingredients or gather around the island with seating for four or the dining table with seating for six — perfect for memorable meals and great conversation.
After a day of adventure, retreat to one of the two luxurious master suites this home proudly offers: • The first-floor master suite features a king-size adjustable Sleep Number bed for customized comfort, a spa-like private bathroom with a soaking tub, a beautifully tiled walk-in shower, and double sink vanity. Step directly onto the patio and into the hot tub through your own private sliding glass door. • Upstairs, the master loft suite boasts breathtaking lake views, a king-size adjustable Sleep Number bed, blackout privacy curtains for deep rest or romantic sunrises, a cozy reading nook with a chair and table, and its own private full bathroom — offering a peaceful, secluded retreat.
The home also features two additional bedrooms — one with a queen-size bed and one with a full-size bed — which share a fully updated bathroom, ensuring everyone in your group has a comfortable space to unwind. A convenient half bathroom is located just off the main living area for added comfort.
For guests needing to work remotely or simply enjoy the view, there’s a dedicated office desk with an inspiring lakefront backdrop — the perfect space to stay productive or daydream a little.
Step outside onto the spacious deck and let the world melt away. Fire up the grill for al fresco dining, or soak in the hot tub as the sun sets over the lake — the ultimate way to relax after a day of fun.
Important Note About Lake Access: This home features true lake access, which is rare and highly valued in this area—especially for those wanting a weekend adventure with kayaks or paddleboards! However, we want to be fully transparent: we have a dock where you can launch your non-motorized watercraft (kayaks, paddleboard, etc) the shoreline is owned by the State of Ohio, and while guests are absolutely permitted to access it, it is natural, rocky, and not ideal for inexperienced swimmers or children. If you’re comfortable with nature’s edge, you’ll love the chance to launch directly into the peaceful waters of the North Reservoir — and we even provide two complimentary kayaks for you to enjoy.
For even more water adventures, let know if you'd to rent a luxury or economy pontoon boat, launched from one of our docks on the main chain of Portage Lakes — offering endless options for exploring at your own pace.
At our lakefront retreat, every moment is an opportunity to reconnect with yourself and the ones you love. So leave the worries of everyday life behind and immerse yourself in the beauty of Portage Lakes.
Your perfect getaway awaits. Book your stay at our Serene Sanctuary today and experience lakeside living at its finest.

The house is awesome. This is the second time we have stayed at this place. The front steps are pretty steep but you can come in through the back. I am a big guy and had no issues. The salt and shovel were necessary this year but it worked great to keep the snow cleared. Everything was clean and the Hot Tub was awesome. Yes, in 17 degree weather we used it. The host was easy to work with and warned us about the bad weather coming in during our stay. When booking know that VRBO does no include an insurance cost in the booking. But happy to pay it, in case our adult kids break things.
The house was beautiful and had a great view! I was initially disappointed because the fireplace wasn't working. That issue was quickly resolved after I contacted the host. The sleep number beds didn't work. And, the hot tub looked as if it hadn't been cared for (unclean), so I didn't get in. The tarp overhead was hanging, so we left it alone and remained inside :-(The hot tub and fireplace were the main amenities that I wanted when I booked this location to celebrate my birthday. While I wasn't completely satisfied, my guests seemed to enjoy themselves. I also felt misled once I reached the checkout. The site advertises no hidden fees, but there were. And, they were big fees at that! The cleaning fee, the customer service fee, and the security fee. All were astronomical and should have been described up front. That was real deceptive and misleading.

Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed the beauty of the home and lake views.
For clarification — all amenities during your stay were fully operational. When you reached out with questions, our team responded immediately each time, and we sent staff onsite to personally show you howy to turn on the fireplace, adjust the beds, and the adjust the hot tub controls. Everything was demonstrated working in real time.
Our hot tub is professionally serviced and sanitized between every reservation and is always sparkling clean upon guest arrival.
Regarding fees — we do not add or change any charges outside of what is already displayed by the booking platform at the time you made your reservation. The exact total you agreed to when booking is what you paid.
We take pride in providing a well-maintained home and quick support, and appreciate the opportunity to clarify not only was everything working properly- we even sent staff to help teach you how to use each amenity when you needed it.
We love the portage lakes, a hidden gem in between Akron/Canton! We also offer unique adventure packages for those that want to do a little more exploring and experience the magic of this area. Excursions are on our website http://www.portagelakesvacationrentals.com under the "special packages" tab
