I highly recommend this property for an awesome KI escape. Previous years we stayed at the Kelleys Island Resort which was very nice. This property was a much more pleasant time spent with some family. We had a fun night cooking weiners over the campfire, another grilling steak for a nice sit down dinner. We were playing cards and visiting almost every night! So much better than eating all our meals out and then retiring to our hotel rooms!Great thanks to the owners for providing a quiet alternative to the bustle of downtown. This place had everything we needed for the week we stayed there.

Quiet and private. Clean and everything is there except your food. Very roomy. If I had complain about anything it would be the gas grille, time for a new one. I'd stay there again. It's a good place to eat and sleep, or to stay there all day and night without leaving!
