My mom and I visited Kelleys Island for a 3 day weekend to see the island and stayed at the venture resort. I believe it was around $200 a night which is pretty pricey but not too bad if you're splitting it with someone. Room was clean. Frig. King Bed. Flat screen tv was pretty worthless but we weren't there... More

Drunken Partiers? Disrespectful of property? Stay up drinking and partying all night? You make it sound like a fraternity siege on Kelleys Island and you weren't even there. I was one of the four people sitting outside our room talking at 11:00PM. We arehagard mid 40's working stiffs sitting on little plastic chairs that were provided. The couple that roomed... More

If you want to escape the mad rush of life and stay right on the shores of Lake Erie, I recommend booking some time at this gorgeous resort hotel. Well -manicured exterior and super clean--no bed bugs here--this is a place Kelleys Island has sorely needed for decades. Since the early 1970s, my family has boated from the main land... More

We LOVED this resort! Our rooms were 223 and 224 and we stayed with friends (3 in one room, 4 in the other) These rooms had 2 beds upstairs and 1 down- I would have liked to have queen or king beds - doubles are too small. The rooms and the grounds were beautiful- we had a view of the... More

Stayed off season for a two night stay. Cost of $376. What a waste of money. On our first night we were outside our room chatting with another couple. Creepy "resort" dude tells us it's time to be quiet. Yep, that's right. You're not allowed to talk outside of your room after 11pm. We were floored. Motel Hell has a... More

The Kelly's Island Venture Resort sits on an extremely well manicured piece of real estate. The property is beautiful with lush grass and beautiful landscaping. The pool is well maintained, although small, and the hot tub is very nice. I did like the rooms. There is an keyed entrance/exit as well as a non-keyed entrance to the pool side of... More

First of all, it's expensive to stay on Kelley's island. If you want top-shelf luxury for the price you pay, then you need to reset your expectations or stay in Port Clinton instead - several cheap hotels there. Now, once you accept that a REGULAR room at a REGULAR B&B will be at least twice as much as a non-island... More

I purchased an overnight stay for my husband and I to celebrate our 32 wedding anniversary. We are very familiar with Kelley's Island and wanted to come back to celebrate memories. I thought an overnight at VR would be the ticket, but I couldn't have been more wrong! After checking in, we found many items in our first floor room... More

...be sure to get upstairs accommodations. More on that later. The KI VR is a gorgeous place to stay. The grounds are impeccable and meticulously maintained. My wife and I had been to Kelley's a few times, but only for brief afternoon stays since the island only offered B&Bs in the past. The VR solved that issue so we decided... More
