Our work team visited for a retreat. The property and the island were a perfect chance to reset and recharge. Fall is absolutely beautiful there. Our group of 6 women and 3 men had plenty of privacy and room to sleep. The cottage is beautifully decorated and appointed!

This property and its owner provide perfection on KI. First, the property and house are adorable and stocked with everything needed to enjoy the stay on the island. The location is amazing. The outdoor patio and firepit area allows for morning coffee and nighttime stargazing. The house is decorated with care and provides the feel of Island time. It is clean, spacious and full of amenities. The second building is a wonderful 2 person suite decorated with the same island vibe. Joe, the property owner, is wonderful to work with. He can answer questions promptly, provide a local’s knowledge of the island and is super helpful. Our entire party loved every aspect of this property. We will be back to KI and will definitely stay here again.

This house is absolutely beautiful. Our family really enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend to others. Joe was very helpful and informative. Super super cute home! The only recommendation would be a bigger trash can in the garage. Other than that, we really enjoyed our time here. Thanks Joe for allowing us to enjoy this piece of paradise.

Our group was 9 adults 40+ y/o. The house was perfect! Beautifully decorated, great group spaces inside and out. Everything was very clean and check in was a breeze. Owner reached out to make sure we were good. My only recommendation would be to have a larger garbage can in the garage. Plan to return in the future!

Our friends and family lovedddd this property! We had so much fun on our vacation. Our group was about 10 people and we all fit comfortably. There is great outdoor space, lots of activities, clean bathrooms, functional kitchen, and good sized bedrooms!
The owner is super nice and was extremely helpful as well! We highly recommend and appreciated the opportunity to stay here while we roamed the Islands :)

We celebrated the Fourth of July holiday on Kelley's Island with our family and couldn't have asked for a better property. The owner was responsive and the property was impeccable. The detail and thought that was put in to the home amazed us. The property had everything we wanted and more which made packing even easier for us. We can't wait to go back again. Highly recommend!

This house is beautiful. The pictures do not give you the warmth of this home. We stayed for almost a week with our children their spouses and the grand children. It exceeded our expectations. We have 3 granddaughters and the 3 single bed bedroom was a dream come true for them. So cozy and many memories for them. Loved the original wigwam table. We could all set at it. And front porch was heavenly with my coffee in the mornings. As the grandkids/ children woke they joined me on the porch for cuddles. The guest house helped with our 9 month old.
A quiet place for him to nap and sleep. The back yard hosted our kick ball games. Its huge! Our host had the house set with everything we needed and then some. And responded promptly to any question or need. We will definitely stay at this beautiful home again. Our grandson did not want to come home.

A group of 5 couples stayed at the Wigwam and loved it! The house, guest cottage, furnishings and yard were all lovely and well maintained. Great communication with the owner, Joe, and he gave us great recommendations for hidden beaches, great hikes and restaurants. We all agreed we’d come back and stay there again. Lots of fun in a beautiful property!

Our family has been coming to Kelley’s Island for years and our last stay was one of the best! The house has everything you need including a grill, beach chairs, bikes and tons of back yard games. The bedrooms were clean and comfortable. I would stay in this home again and recommend it!

Excellent communication with owner.
Away from noise. Privacy. Will definitely rent again! A gem. 😊

Plenty of space and fully equipped with everything you need! Plenty of outdoor and indoor activites.

This property was perfect for our family and our wedding weekend. Property owner was great to work with and very helpful. The yard was great for playing cornhole and the fire pit was a nice place to gather. The home is adorable nicely decorated and supplied with everything you need. Location was close to the Ferry and the lake. I would highly recommend staying here and we plan to book it again some time in the future.

The property was even better than described; the owner and his cleaning team were attentive and helpful; and their suggestions about where to go and what to see were so helpful. I travel with my extended family often (there are eleven of us ranging in age from 3 to 70) and this was one of the most fun and relaxing we’ve had. Highly highly recommend!!

This was the perfect place for three generations of family to rest, relax, reconnect, and, for the children, to play in the very large, well-kept back yard. My husband and I, both 81, had our own little cottage to the side and back of the main house which afforded us time away from 5 active great-grandchildren. We absolutely loved vacationing there.

A wonderful property and host! The house and decor are AMAZING! Everything you need for a weekend getaway. Would 150% recommend and hope to get back soon!

We stayed at this beautifully decorated cottage with family for a long weekend and found it to be delightful. The owners have a fantastic attention to detail and clearly took a lot of time to bring the cottage up to modern standards while maintaining its charm. The space was very comfortable for gathering, cooking together, and hanging out outside. We had some older members in our group and it was nice to have two bedrooms (one in the main house, one in the guest house) accessible on the first floor. We hadn't been to Kelley's Island before, and the owner was helpful with ferry details, too. Overall, it's a great place and I would recommend it to others.

The owner was very easy to work with. The cleaners let us in early, even though we weren’t really expecting it. The property is really nice and clean! We enjoyed being both inside and outside while there. The perfect rental on the island!

What an wonderful property! If you get the chance to stay here, don’t hesitate. What you see in the photos; the beautiful decor, the ideal spot to play games, the gourmet kitchen, the cozy lounge area to read a book, the perfectly manicured back yard (grass that you want to go barefoot in!)…is actually what you get! Oh, and the beds were super comfortable, too. The owners made a home they would want to live in and you can tell. It’s a short walk to the winery, a bike ride to the beaches and a short golf cart ride to a perfect sunset on the west end. We were greeted upon our arrival and contacted mid-stay to make sure we had everything we needed. That made us relaxed knowing, if any questions or concerns did arise, we would be taken care off. We will be back to Kelleys Island, not only because it’s a magical place to visit but because we can’t wait to stay in this home again!

Love this place!
The cottage is absolutely gorgeous and the host thought of every detail! We gathered as a family to celebrate my father-in-laws 70th birthday and the place exceeded our needs. We enjoyed our stay and made special memories together! Highly recommend!

BEST getaway to stay on the island!
This is the best cottage on the island to stay while you visit! Joe is fantastic and very responsive and accommodating. The place is gorgeously updated and extremely clean. All of the decore makes you feel like you are down south relaxing at the beach. Perfect distance from the beach and downtown area. Definitely need a golf cart to get there but well worth it! We stayed with our kids and friends with kids and everyone was happy and comfortable. We will definitely be staying again! Thank you Joe!

Great Family Property
Our family of 10 really enjoyed our time at this Kelley’s Island property. Our VRBO host, Joe, was great as he was very helpful and accommodating. Both the house and guest house were immaculate and decorated beautifully. The large back yard was great for fire pit, football and cornhole. Would definitely recommend this property for those families seeking a place for their Kelley’s Island getaway!

Amazing Vacation Property
We had an amazing 4 day weekend at this incredible property. The house was very clean and decorated beautifully. The owners went above and beyond with bottles of water for each guest and a welcome pack including Kelly’s island cookies. The house was wonderfully maintained and the furnishings were beautiful. The kitchen was very well equipped for cooking for a large group. We were a group of 6 adults and 3 kids with plenty of room to live comfortably for our stay. The backyard was where we spent most of our time with a big backyard for the kids to play and comfortable seating for all. I even enjoyed a nice nap in the swing. I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

The Wigwam is beautiful! We needed a rental for a family wedding, and this house was everything we could have hoped for and more. So tastefully decorated and appointed; it was immaculate, and so very comfortable for our family. Our grandson loved “his” room upstairs with the three twin beds. Also fun was what we called the “little house” out back where Mimi and Poppy stayed. The patio, fire pit area and yard are very nice, so we spent lots of fun family time out there.
The host, Joe, was very responsive to any questions and made sure we had everything we needed.
This is definitely one of the nicer rentals on the island and we would highly recommend it for your family getaway.

We have stayed, as a family, in many VRBOs, in many different places and this one has been by far the best experience we have ever had. The communication with the owner, cleanliness of the property, extra added features, one on one explanation of the house by Joe, and his quick replies to any questions we had went above and beyond. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything needed. The guest house, that is included with the rental of the main house was a wonderful nighttime retreat, and the pull out couch provided room for 2 grandkids each night if you were afraid you would have too much peace and quiet
The main house has four comfy bedrooms, two full bathrooms a lovely living room and a tranquil enclosed front porch
The outside was beautiful. Gorgeous big backyard, fire pit, big comfy swing and patio complete with large eating area shaded by umbrellas. The guesthouse also has a perfect little outside sitting area with a comfy wicker couch and table for two.
There were yard games and bicycles available for added fun. We can’t wait to go back next year
