A nice close by hotel is Comfort Inn Boston Heights. For the period of the warm months highs here at Lake Forest get into the 80's with night lows in the 60's.

In case you don’t have a problem getting dripping wet, you can always go whitewater paddling on Cuyahoga River. Lakes? Sure, Lake Forest is close at hand. If time allows, Cuyahoga Valley National Recreation Area is a national park worth stopping at, and why not head up to Boston Mills and strap some skis to your feet. Lake Forest gets a common amount of yearly rainfall; during the month of June you get the most rain around here, and January is the month with the least moisture.
This lake is so wonderful. Brandywine is a very popular ski area close at hand, and there are other spots here than Lake Forest, for example Pine Lake.

Virginia Kendall Park Lake
The dam was washed out in 2007, and is under repair. In the meantime it is very neat to be able to see the bottom of the lake. When I was a kid there used to be wooden toggonan runs that shot the tobbogans out onto the frozen lake at the end. The nearby Virginia Hills are still a great place for sledding, one of the best in the area.
Tamsin Park has been replaced by a housing subdivision. However, not far from Virginia Kendall in Boston is a American Youth Hostel, and there are several bed and breakfasts in the area as well. I don't know of any place to camp in the area (unless you are a boy or girl scout, they have camps nearby.)
If you enjoy biking, the nearby towpath trail winds along the old canal from Cleveland to Akron, and is a beautiful ride....

Lake O'Springs
19 miles away
This lake is a natural lake made up of many springs.  From the many arrow heads found around the lake there is no doubt that it was home to indiginous tribes at one time or another.  In the early part of the 20th century it was a summer retreat for some people.  In the late 60's early 70's it was a great venue for local bands to play and a summer park with swimming etc. as well....
