Top Inscription Rock Hotel Reviews

Kelleys Island Luxury Lake Shack

10/10 Excellent

"Very welcoming property. House was very clean, stocked with just about everything you need. Enjoyed being out on the back deck. Beds were very comfortable. Great quiet location but still close to center of town. Would definitely rent this house again. Communication with the host was good."

Screened in back porch is a haven!

10/10 Excellent

"Very roomy with a well stocked kitchen. Beds were comfortable and had an abundance of linens. Hosts were very responsive to requests and questions. Loved having access to garage to store our bikes. Campfire area was stocked with dry logs. CD selection was excellent along with games and dvds. Carpets could use a cleaning."

Cedar Cottage - Kelleys Island (Lake Erie) Vacation Retreat

10/10 Excellent

"We love the Cedar Cottage! This is our 5th consecutive year at the Island and our second at Cedar Cottage. The location is perfect - off the beaten path enough to be quiet and peaceful yet close enough to everything. The Cottage is comfortable and perfectly sized for our needs. Mark is an excellent and responsive host and the Cottage is reasonably priced. Another great stay!"

Modern A-Frame + Backyard + Firepit + BBQ

10/10 Excellent

"We loved our stay at this property! The open layout was spacious, and the first-floor main bedroom with walkout patio doors was convenient. The loft upstairs made a perfect hangout spot with its TV area and two beds. The location is great for nature lovers; we easily walked to East Quarry, North Pond, and Scheele Preserve, and the famous Glacial Grooves are just a short golf cart ride away. Just a heads-up for pet owners: the indoor floors were slick for our dogs. If your dogs have problems with slipping, you might want to bring a few rugs. The property feels very private, with just one house close by on the left, while the right side is a wooded tree lot. We rented a golf cart to travel downtown and explore the rest of the island, but the property itself is wonderfully quiet. It felt very relaxing at night sitting around the fire pit, completely away from all the downtown noise. Highly recommended!"

Glacier Suite at Kelley's Island Venture Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Love the location and pool hot tub! We have been coming for several years. Staff was super helpful and friendly as always. The grounds and bugs on the exterior near the lights could have used some attention. It did not stop us from having a wonderful time."

Vineyard Suite at Kelley's Island Venture Resort

8/10 Good

"Room was good plenty of room carpet had some large stains but everything else was clean. The only real issue was the pool and hot tub. Poorly maintained not very clean none of the pumps were running in the pool or the hot tub water was low in the hot tub below the skimmer. Probably would have been pretty good if someone was carrying for them."

On Island Time at Kelleys! Downtown Area

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful Condo."

Brand new vacation home, built 2022! Great Location on Kelleys Island!

10/10 Excellent

"This was our 2nd year of staying here. The house is very nice and great location! We do wish there were blinds in the doors. Will definitely be back next year. It’s becoming a annual girls trip."

Limestone Landing - Pool, firepit, covered patio, & more!

10/10 Excellent
