Angie We're glad you liked our house on Kelleys Island. However, as I mentioned shortly after you checked out, there was a problem with the vertical blinds in the living room and one slat was damaged. It seems that someone did not close or open them according to instructions posted on the wall. I can only assume this is what happened because I did send you a note about this but I received no response. This repair costed about $20, but your damage deposit has already been refunded. We are requesting as a courtesy to us that you pay for this repair. Any money for the repair would be filtered through VRBO after I request the extra payment.

Amazing view

This was a great house for our family's trip to Kelley's Island. We especially enjoyed the view of the water and the gorgeous sunsets each night from the front yard. The large sunroom was an ideal place to enjoy our coffee in the morning, too.

Cute house, good location, great view

This is a very nice house. Nothing fancy but very comfortable.It's a little bit of a walk to downtown, but that's a good thing because there isn't a lot of rowdy foot traffic out front. I especially appreciated the garage to put our bikes in.

Great overall stay

No problem with the rental start to finish. Stayed two nights for a friends wedding. Great chairs in the garage, used those on the sliver of property that butted up to the lake. It was absolutely beautiful. John was a great host. The rental is exactly as described. Would definitely love to stay again.

We're really sorry you were inconvenienced; although it seems to have worked out alright. This is something over which we had no control, and we hope it does not affect your decision to book with us in the future.

Location, location, location

Fantastic location with a lakeside view. Able to walk easily into town. Very clean and comfortable with excellent communication from host. Outside/beach chairs are in the garage. The sunroom was freshly painted a light blue which was different from the picture and it really lightened up the room. You have to bring your own linens (sheets and fitted sheets) and paper towels, etc… but we found that previous guests had left a good stash so we didn’t have to use everything we brought. We didn’t know we had to take our garbage out to the transfer station until we got there but it was easy and the station is open most days, weekends, and holidays. Overall we would stay again and recommend to friends/family.

21st Birthday

We frequently visit Kelley’s. We were Married on Kelley’s 24 years ago. So when our son said he wanted to celebrate his 21st up there we were ecstatic. We didn’t need much. This house was perfect. Once we open windows you could hear the waves in every room, a view from bedrooms, living room, sunroom. We sat out front and watched the world pass by. Thank you John. Owners are great and respond well. We are hoping to get back up there for our 25 next year. Would recommend this house for quiet get away.
