O'Neil House

An Estate in Akron, Ohio

The O’Neil House is a historic Tudor style bed and breakfast that serves as an idyllic spot for an old-world, outdoor garden-themed wedding. The grounds are beautifully landscaped and the mansion has been expertly restored to its original grandeur. While conveniently located near downtown Akron, the surrounding century-old trees seclude you from the outside world.

 

Exterior and Lawn

The park-like lawn surrounding the mansion offers many great photo opportunities to explore.  The stone terrace, reflecting pond and wrought iron fences give it a rustic, old-world character that is a real pleasure to experience.
