Top Inscription Rock Hotel Reviews

Kelleys Island Venture Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Requested a first floor room which was accommodated. Nice room with somewhat hard but comfortable bed. No complaints, staff was helpful"

Kelleys Island Luxury Lake Shack

10/10 Excellent

"What an adorable home! We absolutely loved our stay! The house was charming, exceptionally clean, and had everything we needed and more. It was clear that a lot of thought went into making the home comfortable and welcoming for guests. Janice was a wonderful host—friendly, accommodating, and always quick to respond to any questions or communication. We truly enjoyed our time here and would highly recommend this lovely home to anyone looking for a great place to stay. We would definitely stay again!"

Cedar Cottage - Kelleys Island (Lake Erie) Vacation Retreat

10/10 Excellent

"The house looked exactly as advertised. It was spacious and very cute. Mark hooked us up with a golf cart thru the neighbor, who delivered and picked it up for no additional charge. Our dog enjoyed the yard and the fact that the house is at the end of the road meant he could be trusted off leash. The island was surprisingly closed down for the first week of October. The coffee shop was only available Sat/Sun, which was very disappointing because I hadn't packed any and it was really expensive at the store. We did get to eat at The Groove, which was excellent. The calmness of the island really allowed us to take a break from everyday life."

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."
