TaylorRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Joni’s place was perfect for what we were looking for! The place was very spacious - with the 1st double queen room being inside the front door, and the rest of the bedrooms upstairs. It wasn’t right downtown, but it was near the ferry which was perfect for us. Theres golf carts available on-site which is what we used to get downtown. The staff on site was very helpful. Joni sent detailed instructions leading up to our stay and was available during our stay. Would definitely recommend!

MikeRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Bette than advertised. We stayed here for a fishing trip, we had 4 large boats and pickups. Albert let us park in the grass as needed. There was adequate outlets to charge our boat batteries at night and the garage space was excellent for the storage of our extra equipment, coolers, and gear. Beds are very comfortable, great furniture, and the house is nicely updated and decorated. We will definitely be staying here again!

Waterfront cottage near Cedar Point, sports force

AlexanderRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
It was a great stay! A little cramped but that was expected, Renee was very nice and gave easy instructions. The place was nice and the thing that immediately won me over was the tissues that were in each room. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THAT. My allergies were acting up crazy when I went to cedar point, but seeing that when I checked in I was celebrating. 5 stars ez. Recommend for a short stay for a very very good location. 👍

Suite A at the Dodge House

KathleenRating, 5 stars9 months ago
Dodge House is a historic property that has been in the family for generations. Weather and age takes its toll, but it has been carefully modernized (central A/C!) for the comfort of guests without it losing its Victorian charm. Wonderful people with lifetimes of stories about the island. Great location just around the corner from downtown, yet far enough away from the fray for a peaceful stay.

All great things, all great things! This was one of our favorites that we stayed so far and we've been in several at this location! Also, this was the first time we fished right there on the water, and it was great fun! Ross was very responsive on a couple quirky questions, nothing impactful, all great! Would stay, again.

Mario Room Amazing View Cedar Point & Lake Erie!

Lindsay JRating, 5 stars1 week ago
I don’t even know where to begin!! I’d rate Chris and Jamie as a 10+ star as hosts and for their property!! Everything was absolutely amazing and Chris & Jamie went over and beyond what was expected! From offering flexibility with a late check to accommodate our needs, detailed check in and out instructions (videos were very helpful and funny too!), coffee/creamers provided and to top it off we were greeted with a personalized message with snacks (the kids loved this 🤪) wishing my daughter and her team good luck at their tournament!! Chris and Jamie were very quick to respond to any questions and provided excellent restaurant recommendations!! The Mario Place was absolutely beautiful inside and has an amazing view of Lake Erie and Cedar Point! Also, the property is within walking distance to several restaurants and entertainment!! Highly recommend renting this and/or any other properties from Chris and Jamie!!! We definitely will be back!!!

Your guide to Put-in-Bay

Welcome to Put-in-Bay

Yes, Ohio has islands, and South Bass Island — home to the village of Put-in-Bay — is among them. It’s located north of the mainland in Lake Erie, off the coast between Toledo and Cleveland, and just south of the (invisible) Canadian border that bisects the lake. It’s a compact place — just a few miles end to end, totalling 397 acres. Fewer than 150 people live on the island year-round, and food and mail are delivered by plane in winter. (The waters surrounding it freeze over, so it can also be reached by ATV or snowmobile.) Fun fact: the island has more cemeteries (two) than grocery stores or banks (one of each). No one comes to Put-in-Bay for the edgy excitement. It’s a place to let the summer days slowly overtake you while rousing yourself occasionally to wander the village or mustering enough energy to picnic near the rocky shoreline at South Bass Island State Park.


The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Put-in-Bay

Put-in-Bay is a summer community, with the high season running from April through October. As a family-friendly destination, it tends to be most crowded when school is out and the weather is at its prime, between June and August. Fall can be lovely, with cool days and blue skies, although rain can sweep in across the lake. Day-trippers provide a daily ebb-and-flow; if you’re planning to stay a few days, it’s advisable to line up reservations for golf carts or bikes prior to arrival. A number of low-key events occur on the island throughout the summer, including a weekly antique car parade and a mid-July Jeep Invasion, when Jeep owners bring over their vehicles for scavenger hunts and other diversions.


Top things to do in Put-in-Bay

Perry’s Victory and International Peace Memorial

Put-in-Bay’s claim to glory is that it was the base of operations for a fleet overseen by Oliver Hazard Perry during the War of 1812. Perry and his ships lurked behind the Bass Islands one day when the British fleet — based just across the way in Canada — was spotted approaching. Perry commanded his fleet to slip out and hit the British unawares, winning a decisive victory and incapacitating their six ships. This turning point in the war is marked by Perry’s Victory Memorial, a 352-foot-tall pink granite column capped with an 11-ton bronze urn. A ranger stationed on-site points out highlights of the region and the location of the historic battle.

South Bass Island State Park

This small state-run park is a popular spot to lounge on summer days, with a large herd of picnic tables and a small-stone beach for swimming. It’s perfect for an afternoon picnic, and to wander the grounds and seek out the melancholy ruins of the foundations of the Hotel Victory, which was considered one of the largest and most glamorous hotels in the nation when it opened in 1892.

The Butterfly House

The 4,000-square-foot butterfly house opened in 2004 and is home to some 50 species of butterflies from around the globe, many of them extravagantly colored and patterned. Spend some time studying the identification chart, and then see how many species you can locate when wandering through the aviary.
