Slice of Heaven 2024

Welcome to our slice of heaven nestled on the main chain of Portage Lakes. Step into a world where every moment feels like a gentle caress of nature, and every breath is filled with the pure essence of relaxation.

This charming lakefront retreat offers a seamless blend of rustic charm and modern comfort. As you step through the door, be greeted by the warm embrace of natural light dancing through the windows, illuminating the cozy interior with its inviting ambiance. Picturesque windows with an up close and personal view of the lake, so close to the clock tower, you can hear the chime of the bells!

Indulge in the luxury of space as you explore the open-concept living area, thoughtfully adorned with lake life furnishings and tasteful decor. Sink into the embrace of the sumptuous sofa, sip on a cup of freshly brewed coffee, and lose yourself in the breathtaking panorama of the tranquil waters stretching out before you.

The heart of this home is the fully equipped kitchen, where culinary delights come to life amidst a backdrop of awe-inspiring views. Whip up a delicious meal or simply gather around the dining table with loved ones for a memorable feast filled with laughter and joy. The kitchen boasts open space layout with table seating for six and island seating for three, ensuring everyone can gather comfortably for meals and conversations.

After a day of exploration, retreat to the master bedroom featuring an adjustable setting sleep comfort queen bed, promising nights of restful sleep. The master bedroom shares a Jack and Jill bathroom with a beautifully updated tile shower, shared with the second bedroom, which features a full-size bed, creating a serene space for relaxation.

Additionally, the lower level offers a third bedroom off of the fully updated full bathroom, providing ample accommodation.

Step outside onto the spacious patio and feel the cares of the world melt away as you bask in the gentle caress of the sun’s warm rays. Fire up the grill for a lakeside dining experience or simply lounge in the comfortable patio furniture, including a swinging egg chair, Adirondack chairs, beautiful landscaping with a rock waterfall feature, and a patio table with an umbrella. As the evening unfolds, gather around the fire pit with stunning views of lights dancing off the lake, its twinkling surface reflecting the starlit sky above.

For those seeking relaxation, immerse yourself in the soothing waters of the hot tub overlooking the lake, offering the perfect romantic vantage point to unwind and rejuvenate. And for the adventurous spirits, make use of the two free kayaks to explore the pristine waters or indulge in friendly competition with a variety of games and a PlayStation console.

At our lakefront retreat, every moment is an opportunity to reconnect with yourself and the ones you love. So leave the hustle and bustle of everyday life behind and immerse yourself in the serenity of lakeside living. Your perfect getaway awaits.
Book your stay today and let the magic of Portage Lakes create memories that will last a lifetime.

**Please note, to get to the lake home, you will descend a natural stone staircase that is rather steep. This property is not suitable for elderly or very young children.

Great Place

The amenities were just as listed. You get a better view of the little lake than you can tell from the photos. The area was quiet at night.Shoes off at the door was a little tricky, because it was at the top of the stairs. We carried our shoes down when wanting to go out back.Overall, great place and we would come back again.

A perfect spot for anyone looking to unwind and enjoy nature!

Memories to last the Summer

Fishing from the dock, right on the lake, kayaking before breakfast, and enjoying the hot tub. Portage lakes is such a fun environment, we all had a wonderful stay. Those stairs coming down to the property are killer, would not recommend for 70 year olds.

Six night stay

Had a fantastic stay! Property is welcoming, well-stocked and perfect for families! We enjoyed all of the amenities and were pleasantly surprised that a couple items we needed were available. The kids enjoyed the games and kayaks; the adults enjoyed the outdoor space and appreciated the multiple sitting areas. The property owner was exceptionally responsive, accommodating and helpful. Beautiful location within the lakes for a relaxing vacation with older children and extended family!

Great house

My college friends and stayed here for a short weekend trip. It was a very nice and clean house. The property manager stayed in communication and was very helpful. We also hiked at Cuyahoga Valley NP which is only about 25-30 minutes away from the house. Over all we had a great experience and we would stay there again in the future!

Perfect getaway

I rented this for a small group of friends for my 30th birthday and it was the perfect retreat! It was a great size for the 8 of us and the property was beautiful!! The host was super responsive and was able to fix the temperature for us immediately when I reached out to say it was a little warm in the house. The only thing I would warn future guests about is a tiny 1” ledge that runs through the middle of the main area that we kept tripping on until we used a reflective piece of decoration I had brought on the step to help remind us. We had such a great time and I would totally book it again!

Great stay at the lakes for the eclipse

Wonderful stay in this lovely, comfy home on the lake. Everything was clean and kitchen had everything we needed to prepare meals. Loved that we could bring our dog and that the yard is fully fenced. Would love to come back in warmer weather to swim & kayak the lake.

Family getaway, fun & relaxing

We stayed at this lake house while visiting our son at Kent State. It was the perfect place for our family to hang out together and enjoy some fun and relaxation. Very peaceful location with beautiful view, really enjoyed the hot tub on the deck. They had everything we needed for an enjoyable stay, beds were very comfortable, kitchen was fully equipped, and there are many board games which our family enjoyed. The host was quick to respond to messages and very accommodating when we had questions or requests. We ate at Tres Potrillos in Tallmadge on her recommendation and it was definitely the best Mexican food! We had pizza delivered from Upper Crust and ate at The Boathouse for breakfast and both were very good. We will definitely return for future visits to see our son, we could not have found a better place to stay.

Beautiful Lake Property

We spent one night for a friend’s birthday and even with our gloomy fall rainy weather, this property was a great place to stay! The hot tub is under cover and the place is a lot more spacious than the pictures show. It had a great view, plenty of seating and was very clean.

Home away from home!

Our stay was so relaxing! Everything we needed wad right at our fingertips, and the landlord was easy to contact and quick to respond to any questions. We couldn't have picked a better week to enjoy our stay. I highly recommend this lovely property to anyone wanting to get away for a few days like we did, or for an entire vacation stay when visiting Ohio!
