The Wigwam was perfect for our family vacation. We enjoyed a restful time together playing in the lawn and enjoying all that KI has to offer. The house provided everything we needed to be comfortable including the beautifully appointed front porch where we spent time playing games one evening. Thank you for meeting our needs!

Family bachelorette getaway

We had a wonderful time, Kelly’s Island is beautiful. The cottage did not disappoint! It was clean, had everything that we needed, and was decorated beautifully. We definitely want to come and stay in this beautiful cottage again! Thank you! All of the furniture was comfortable, especially the beds! The bathroom in the outdoor living space was a little tight but overall perfect!

We appreciate your thoughtful note on the bath in the guest suite. While space is always at a premium in a historic cottage layout, we’re continually looking for ways to enhance both function and relaxation across every corner of the property. Guest feedback like yours helps guide those future updates. We're so pleased you had a restful visit, and we hope to welcome you back to Kelleys again soon!
