This little gem is on a road that takes travelers to the Ferry, with a nice lake view facing west. This affords guests warmly lit rooms at sunset. They have rooms that are not in the main house - which we prefer when staying at a Bed and Breakfast.

We just returned from an overnight at the Five Bells, and we were completely happy with our stay. We needed a last-minute, close-to-home getaway to recharge our batteries and reconnect with each other, and the Five Bells let us do both. Eileen and Jerry met us on Saturday, gave us recommendations for dinner, then got out of our way. We... More

This was our second stay at the Inn. We knew what we were looking for in a short Lake Erie stay and remembered our previous stay here. Jerry and Eileen were very hospitable and professional. We stayed in room 7 which is adjacent to the lagoon. Our room was clean, comfortable, and air conditioned and we got exactly what we... More

My wife and I stayed at the Five Bells Inn adjacent to Lake Erie during the "Biggest Week in American Birding." The hospitality of our hosts was great. They provided early breakfast (6:30 a.m.) for us and other birders. The grounds are very attractive and well-kept. There is an active Bald Eagle nest on the property, as well as a... More

The web site did not explain that there is a main house and two add'l cottages. One has 3sep. Rooms and the other is the fam. cot. We chose (against better judgement) the fam cott for convenience. It had a very moldy smell and the shower was not mildew free. The owners were very friendly, but they really need to... More

Even though we didn't fit their typical "romantic couple" customer profile, Jerry and Eileen welcomed my sisters, our families and me without a quibble. The breakfasts were tasty, the rooms were comfy, clean and nicely decorated, and the Jarcs were wonderful hosts. The setting was lush and beautiful, with shade trees and flowers and lots of great places to sit... More

My wife and I had never stayed at a bed and breakfast prior to our great night at The Five Bells. the accommodations were clean and cozy. the location was terrific and offered a great view of the lake. Jerry and Eileen were wonderful. we felt very comfortable and welcome from the moment we walked in the door.

Our two stays at The Five Bells Inn were satisfying to the MAX. Our hosts Jerry and Eileen are the epitome of hospitipal innkeepers. The nature preserve adds to the pleasure of the stay.

We reserved a room for four nights in June. Talking to the owner on the phone and looking at the information on their website would lead you to believe this is the perfect place for a romantic get-away. After a 10.5 hour drive, we arrived and were greeted by the owners and shown to our "room" - a dirty duplex/bungalow... More
