Our area is rural and peaceful. There are many developed hiking and biking trails, along with fishing in the Mogadore Reservoir located within 1/4 mile from our home.

We have many hiking and biking trails throughout the area There are several small community theaters with great live productions at very reasonable prices and also larger venues in Akron for symphonies and other musical productions.
