Update to 2023 season. Tandem Trails will be open April 1 to Oct. 31 Thursdays thru Sundays. We will take ONE booking per weekend, one night up to 3 nights. So make your reservation now! We look forward to serving you!

The space
Our century home, now known as Tandem Trails, was built in 1886 and sits two blocks from the quaint downtown with many restaurants and novelty shops for your pleasure. We have lived in and loved this home for 19 years, making updates and renovations, always with the thoughts of sharing our home and it's charm with others. When our daughter married in 2018, we decided to make her room into a Guestroom and list with AirBnB. That being said, this is our residence. Please read on!

The Guestroom: is on the second floor, as is the guest bathroom. The bathroom is NOT in the bedroom, but down the hallway. There is only ever one set of guests in the house at a time and the hosts reside outside of the home during any booking. The guestroom has a queen bed, a pull-out twin bed, and a kitchenette. There is a desk, if you would like to bring a laptop. WIFI is available. The guest bedroom is ONLY used as the Tandem Trails Guestroom and sits empty during off season. (October-April) AirBnB approved cleaning techniques are used between each and every guest to ensure cleanliness and guest safety. The bedroom door has a key lock for guest privacy and room security.
Room accommodates up to 3 people. We have a queen bed, a twin pull-out ottoman, and a pack and play for a little. Due to the room footprint, the pull- out twin and pack-n-play will not both fit. We do not accommodate pets. Not cute little harmless ones. Not quiet ones. No pets.

Other spaces in the home: The living room and dining room are available to guests to have a comfortable seat in between your other activities. (Note:
There is no television within the house, either in the living room or the guest room. We just don't feel it fits the decor. ) The kitchen and first-floor bathroom are host-only spaces. (Our home owners insurance requests guest not use the home kitchen for liability purposes). The hosts stay in their camper on the property, out of sight and behind the garage, but do come in through the back door to use the downstairs bathroom and may get something out of the kitchen. We will come in and out of the house quickly and quietly. Guest/Host interactions will most likely be made electronically before and during visits as hosts will typically be in their permanent campsite near Lake Erie each weekend, Thursday through Sunday.

Tandem Trails LOVES to cater to cyclists traveling through Canal Fulton. My husband is teaches indoor cycling. We are members of the Akron and Stark County Bike Clubs, and avid supporters of our trails. We offer cyclists to pull their bikes into our garage during our stay. There would be amply room to work on a repair or dry out gear, as one car will usually be gone.

Cleanliness and safety: The guestroom is cleaned and sanitized in between each and every booking. It is not used as a family bedroom in between guests, nor do our dogs come upstairs anymore. There is the possibility of pet dander on the first floor if you have any pet hair allergy. While we do our best to have every stray hair swept up, with 2 old english sheepdogs......

Guest access
Guests will arrive at Tandem Trails and park in the gravel driveway created to our car-driving guests. Cycling guests will have the garage code and be able to store your bikes in their. You will walk to the front porch where you will enter the home.

Days before arrival, the hosts will send you a message through AirBnB to give you instructions regarding guest access to the FRONT door.

You will enter through our dining room and immediately see the stairs to the second floor where guest accommodations are. You may use the dining room or living room for relaxing or having a take-out meal. You will notice a lace curtain that is a soft partition to our kitchen, which is a host-only space.

Snacks have been provided in the Guestroom as well as a coffee maker. There is a refrigerator for restaurant leftovers or small food items such as yogurt/fruit for breakfast that you bring or purchase. There is no microwave. Meal preparation cannot take place by guests in the home. You are welcome to bring a take-out order to the patio or dining table. We encourage you to take a 2 block stroll into town and enjoy any of our fine eateries!

During a guest stay, the hosts may enter the home through the BACK door to utilize the kitchen and/or the downstairs bathroom off of the kitchen. It would be VERY RARE for the guests and hosts to cross paths in the home, as we do not enter guest spaces during a booking unless we come onto the patio to greet you!

Other things to note
If you are booking for a 3rd party, we will ask that the actual guests have thoroughly been able to look at the listing and that the hosts have an opportunity to speak directly to them. We understand not everyone uses the internet and bookings may be created by friends/family not staying in the room, however, we want each of our guests to have a full understanding of our accommodations and who would be best suited for our spaces. For instance, our accommodations are on the 2nd floor of a century home and we have a standard tub, not a walk-in shower. This space would not be appropriate for a person with mobility limitations. We want every guest to have their very best experience at Tandem Trails.
