Escape to our Kelleys Island cottage: where comfort meets tranquility.

This charming, newly renovated retreat offers a clean and peaceful atmosphere, perfect for families looking to unwind and create lasting memories. Enjoy modern amenities, spacious living areas, and a serene environment just steps from beautiful beaches and local attractions. Whether you're exploring the island or relaxing at home, our cottage is the ideal base for a memorable getaway.

Welcome to the ‘Wigwam’! This quaint cottage underwent a recent major renovation. Our interior designers created fresh vibrant spaces while keeping the character of the historic home. We love sharing our happy place.

This lovely four-bedroom cottage was built in 1860 as one of the original homes on Kelleys Island. You will enjoy the modern open concept kitchen space with quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a farmhouse sink.

The dining area features a vintage harvest table, original to the cottage, with built in seating for up to 10. This is a perfect spot for dinners or games. A coffee bar and beverage fridge await guests.

The living area has a Smart TV with a comfy sectional, additional seating, and many family board games are available to enjoy.

The cozy front porch has more seating, a table and chairs for games or puzzles, and is a perfect spot to sip on your morning coffee.

The first floor has a bedroom with a queen bed and a full bathroom.

Upstairs, there are three more bedrooms: one with a queen bed, one that offers a full bed and a third that has three single beds.

Also included is a guest house studio complete with a queen bed, sleeper sofa, kitchenette and full bath.

A large patio area offers a gas grill, dining set, and fire pit perfect for a campfire and s’mores. A large yard is great for outdoor activities: corn hole and other yard games are provided.

Six vintage island bicycles await to explore the island.

A trip that will be remembered
We had a wonderful stay in this beautiful “cabin” so beautiful and comfortable-slept like a baby - exactly as shown and plenty of room to hang out - play games - cook/grill - sleep. My favorite spot was the swinging bench/bed for relaxing. We loved the yard and the bikes. Hope to be back again next year!

Loved this home!
Beautiful house. Just a few minutes from everything…. water, the town, and the state park swimming area. Saw a gorgeous sunset from “rocky beach” each night that was about a 4 min drive from the house.

Kelley's Island Wigwam
Older home that has been completely renovated. Extremely clean. We had 6 adults and 5 children and there was plenty of room. Home includes a separate room behind the garage with a bed, sofa bed, bathroom and refrigerator. Lot is very big with plenty of room for games with the children. Would highly recommend this for a family getaway.

Family Get Away
Our family has been coming to Kelley’s Island for years and our last stay was one of the best! The house has everything you need including a grill, beach chairs, bikes and tons of back yard games. The bedrooms were clean and comfortable. I would stay in this home again and recommend it!

Fantastic First Visit to Kelley’s Island
The property was even better than described; the owner and his cleaning team were attentive and helpful; and their suggestions about where to go and what to see were so helpful. I travel with my extended family often (there are eleven of us ranging in age from 3 to 70) and this was one of the most fun and relaxing we’ve had. Highly highly recommend!!

Awesome!
A group of 5 couples stayed at the Wigwam and loved it! The house, guest cottage, furnishings and yard were all lovely and well maintained. Great communication with the owner, Joe, and he gave us great recommendations for hidden beaches, great hikes and restaurants. We all agreed we’d come back and stay there again. Lots of fun in a beautiful property!

Our friends and family lovedddd this property! We had so much fun on our vacation. Our group was about 10 people and we all fit comfortably. There is great outdoor space, lots of activities, clean bathrooms, functional kitchen, and good sized bedrooms! The owner is super nice and was extremely helpful as well!
