We were so glad to return to this GEM on Kelleys Island! This plase is amazing! The owners Beth & Tim are so graceious and fun to be around. I love to go there, the B&B is very comfortable, clean and quaint. The view from the front porch, looking out over Lake Erie, is so relaxing and peaceful. We rode... More

My wife and I renewed our vows for our 10th. Invited people from NJ and local from Cleveland. Beth and Tim did the whole job of putting us up in their goregous inn, and coordinated the feast. We renewed in the gazebo out front, with Captain Tim doing the ceromony. Then we partied thru the night. We probably will do... More

My husband & I stayed in the Charles Walter deluxe suite to celebrate our 20th anniversary. The accomodations were fabulous. We took advantage of the spacious rooms, the balcony, the fireplace, and the jacuzzi. We were lucky to be there early fall, and the weather was perfect. We enjoyed sitting on the deck at night looking at the full moon.... More

This was our third time at Water's Edge and it did not disappoint. The breakfasts are phenomenal. We had a different array each day and the omelets florentine, the apple strudel and apple coffee cake made with apples from their yard were scrumptious. The scrambled eggs Benedict divine! Potatoes, thick ham slices, sausage...it just goes on and on....we encouraged Beth... More

My husband and I were going to attend our niece's wedding in Huron but did not want to stay at a noisy water park with the gang and wanted something peaceful. We just retired and wanted something for ourselves and this place was so perfect. The charm and ambience were tremendous but we made our decision at first based on... More

My husband and I recently spent Labor Day weekend at this delightful getaway. Located on the south shore of lovely Kelleys Island, this beautiful house became home.

Beth and Tim - thank you for a perfect weekend. As we celebrated our wedding anniversary, your beautiful home was quiet, cozy, and view spectacular. Breakfast was SO GOOD every morning. We loved touring the island by bike and our excursion to South Bass Island. Yet, the best part of the trip was meeting you and enjoying your energy, hospitality,... More
