Family get away

The cabin was perfect for our group and we had An amazing time! The kitchen was well stocked with everything you could need and there was a great supply of games and movies - which our kids appreciated! We were close to everything and had a great time spending time together as a family and exploring the island. Clear communication from the hosts and everything you could need- thanks so much

Great home!

My husband and I stayed here with our son and grandson. The home was perfect for us. We were on the island to fish, and the house was a great place to hang out after a long day on the water. It is exactly as described. Very clean, and very fast wi-fi which was important to my grandson. We plan to stay again next year!

Long weekend getaway

The cottage and location were perfect for us. Two grandparents and three grandkids ages 5 through 9. The cottage was clean and that is always my first concern when we are going to stay anywhere. We spent our time at the beach, fishing and riding around in a golf cart. We also were able to tour the island school. We had a good time.

Nice place

Equipped with what we needed and great location. Very peaceful. It was just dirty and smelled like dog when it got warm. They ask guests to clean but could benefit from cleaning service.

Perfect getaway

Had a wonderful time. Perfect way to end the summer. The house feels so private and secluded but just a short bike ride into town. The deck was perfect way to spend the evenings. Would have loved to use the beautiful fire pit just a little too warm for that. Will definitely go back next year!

Kelley's Island Trip

The property is nice but definitely needs cleaning. The kitchen plates were not clean. We had to wash everything before using. Shower stall was dirty. The house interior needs cleaned and painted. The deck could use sweeping and power washing. Many weeds and could be so much nicer. We still enjoyed the stay.

a perfect family getaway

We enjoyed our stay at Cedar Cottage so much that we are already planning for next year. Our grown family of 6 enjoyed making s'mores at the fire pit and played ball in the spacious yard. This cottage is special because we could bring our puppy and take him to the beach nearby. We rented a golf cart to drive into town, but even without the cart the location of the cottage provides proximity to town, the state park and the glacial grooves. We had Brandy Alexander's at the Village Pump and dinner at the Island House. All of our other meals were spent at Cedar Cottage where the kitchen was well stocked with everything a cook needs. We also enjoyed watching fun summer movies and the cottage has a good video library to choose from as well as streaming options. We look forward to making this an annual trip at this functional and accessible property.

Perfect weekend house!

Our group had a great time! The house was as pictured. Lots of yard space and driveway fits 3 cars. House was very clean. Our only issues to note were that the ceiling fans were pretty gross, so we didn't want to use them. Also, the bathtub was very slow to drain. Deck was great. Would definitely go back to this house in the future!
