We loved the amazing breakfasts by Sandy (we had breakfast inside one day and then out on the gorgeous patio by the water the next morning) and Bart handed us delicious Mint Juleps to help celebrate the Derby. Throughout the day, we took advantage of the plethora of great spots to sit and take in the gorgeous view. Bart and Sandy are hilariously sweet and a tremendous joy to be around. Absolutely recommend a stay - we know we will be back!

After I spent a half hour getting lost looking for the one lane road this place, I was greeted with lovely trailers. The cottage is about a half mile down on the right hand side. My best friend is getting married today. Our plan was to meet here in the morning to get dressed for the wedding before heading to the venue. Upon arrival, I was greeted rudely by the owner, Joe, informing me that only registered guests only were allowed in the house and we couldn't get ready there. Look here, joe, I get it that you've had problems in past and parking is tight. But I'm also a potential customer. Not any more, bud. Oh and spare me the tragic stories of how you have to fix the place up. You are a business owner it's part of the deal. I'm sure you are clearing plenty of $$ at $200/night to serve just fruit for breakfast. Save your money and just stay in port clinton.

Ann and her crew delivered a delicious hearty breakfast. It was a start to which we looked forward each morning. A couple of examples of the extent of hospitality were the attempt on Ann's part to shuffle rooms so that my mother had an accessible one. Also, we had access to the use of their washer and dryer when we needed it. Ann gave us useful suggestions on where to visit. She let us know about the local restaurant discounts that we were entitled for staying at the inn. Thank you Ann for making our Labor Day a memorable one!

We recently stayed at the Red Fern Inn, in the Kelly's Island suite. We had a wonderful stay,…read moreand I can't say enough about the staff, the amenities and the comfortable vibe of the Inn. The decor is so interesting and tasteful, perfect for the area. The kitchen was equipped with full size refrigerator, microwave, toaster, stove/oven and all the other items you could need. We had two children with us, so it was great to have a fully stocked kitchen. Bonus - they have a winery on the property, Rocky Point Winery. It was so fun and convenient to be able to go downstairs and order a glass of wine (beer/mixed drink), enjoy a tasty snack and sit at the lovely patio and garden areas. It has a nice selection of gifts to purchase at the winery as well. As I mentioned, the owner and staff were so accommodating and responsive. I highly recommend the Red Fern Inn for your next stay up at the "islands".

First impression? Let's just say I felt like one of their grandchildren--- adopted grandchild from the city of Chicago who just wanted to break into tears in their arms and be told everything was going to be okay. - Stayed 2 nights in "Room 2"- faced the lake where we were able to watch the sunset...also had more windows, a canopy bed and a more modern decor. - Each bedroom had a private bathroom which was a PLUS! They also have a 2-bedroom cottage that they rent out next door. - Small TVs w/ VHS players in rooms (I know! VHS!). they had a bunch of VHS tapes in the hallway aka their VHS library. I kind of thought that had a really cute feel to it...really made me feel like a kid again. Just a great feeling to get away from it all into this B&B and keep things stress-free and SIMPLE! - Right across the street from the lake! Also just a few minutes away to Nagoya (habachi dinner) and Mon Ami Winery (seafood buffet and winetasting!). - Hosts provided us w/ maps and recommendations for restaurants- not much to do in Port Clinton in the middle of October but we made the most of it! - Jerry baked for us every morning! Breakfast was great consisting of fresh fruits, sausage links, french toast, homemade waffles, muffins between the two nights all served on really cute gold lined plates! - They have a massage lady that comes in by appointment, but she wasn't available when we needed her so we ended up getting massages in downtown Port Clinton. Overall a very homey experience! I shall return for a relaxing weekend of my own :). Maybe for the next winetasting event in Port Clinton?! Would love to stay here over the summer and get some writing/reading done.
