🔥 Lakefront hot tub

🚤 Seasonal Sea-Doo Switch

🍔 BBQ grill

🔥 LAKEFRONT HOT TUB

Relax in the hot tub overlooking the lake after hiking, boating, exploring Akron, or spending the day on the water.



It's an especially strong feature outside the summer season, giving guests another way to enjoy the waterfront setting during cooler Northeast Ohio days.



Morning soak, sunset relaxation, or a peaceful evening by the lake—the choice is yours.



🚤 SEASONAL SEA-DOO SWITCH INCLUDED

During the property's boating season, guests can enjoy use of the Sea-Doo Switch at no additional charge, subject to weather, lake conditions, required safety procedures, and completion of the applicable waiver/course requirements.



The boat accommodates up to 5 adults, or potentially 6 passengers when one passenger is a small child, subject to applicable capacity and safety requirements.



Explore Portage Lakes from the water, cruise the shoreline, or make a day of discovering the lake.



Important: Your current listing gives two different start dates - May 8 and June 1 - for boat availability. I would confirm the official season before publishing and use the same dates everywhere.



🛶 KAYAK + FISH RIGHT FROM THE PROPERTY

Prefer a slower pace?



Two kayaks are available for guest use, making it easy to get out on the water and explore.



Guests can also enjoy fishing from the dock, while nearby marinas provide additional opportunities for seasonal boating, swimming, and other lake activities.



All water activities are subject to weather and lake conditions.



🌅 PANORAMIC LAKE VIEWS

Floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors bring the lake directly into the living room, filling the space with natural light and showcasing the waterfront setting.



Sink into the large sectional for a relaxing morning or open up the space and step directly onto the waterfront deck.



From morning coffee to evening sunsets, the lake remains the backdrop to your stay.
