Great little spot overlooking the lake. Coffee on the porch in the mornings, nightcap on the bench just on the edge of shore (see pic). A great little retreat to refresh and recharge. “Just bring your luggage” as the host expressed as everything needed and requested was furnished and available. Looking forward to working with, and booking with again. Much appreciated!

We ABSOLUTELY LOVED staying at The Old Nest! The cozy feeling home was spacious, clean, warm and welcoming. You can feel the love and laughter that is still echoing through out the home from generations past of a family that once called it their private home. The view was breathtaking from a very large porch adorned with comfy old fashioned porch swings! As sunset, we enjoyed sitting by the edge of the lake with a little fire in the fire pit. A quick 5 minute walk to downtown made it very easy for our family of 6 adults and 3 little ones, 2 and under, to get to. Amanda was very easy to communicate with. Just can’t say enough about how special this home is…

I believe we have stayed at the Crow's Nest for 4 years. My Aunts, Sisters & cousins all go for a weekend in the spring. We love the home, the cleanliness, spaciousness & the location. The only things we would recommend are that there was a very bad storm the first night we were there. The shutters on the front of the house were banging pretty bad (just don't want you to get damage to your home). The only other thing the girls mentioned is that the lighting in the dining area/ living area is low. It was difficult to see at night (we play games in there). Thank you for opening your home once again to us. It is a piece of paradise right here in Ohio. Can't wait till next year!

I can’t thank you enough for sharing your family home with us. It was everything and more! Perfect location, Island charm and the front porch is absolutely the best seat in the house. It was perfect for our family!! 10 out of 10

Great for families. Great view of the lake.

Location was perfect. It is a challenge finding a house with enough space for 4-5 couples to stay comfortably on the island. This place was able to accommodate my siblings and their spouses with a good amount of space. It’s like an old farm house, reminds me of my grandparents family home. There are some random spiders and things, so if you aren’t accustomed to country living it may not be the spot for you. Overall It was a clean home and comfortable enough for the 3 couples and two singles that could make the trip this year. We would stay here again.

Another fantastic family vacation at Kelley's Island. The is our second year at The Old Nest, space for everyone! And fantastic views!

Beautiful historic home. We loved being able to walk to town and could not have been happier with our stay. The old gliders on the front porch got lots of use while we gazed at the lake.

The view and atmosphere were amazing. Short walk to “downtown” and very quiet! Fantastic! Thank you!

The house was decorated beautifully. Absolutely stunning home and love to hear about the history of the home. The only downfalls I can say is the listing is not clear as far as what is provided. It says coffee maker, but we weren’t sure if it was a coffee maker or a Keurig just not a lot of details in the listing. Also the bedroom downstairs with the yellow walls had a bad spider problem, I woke up in the middle of the night with a spider coming down onto my bed from a spiderweb from the ceiling does not look like anybody had cleaned the ceilings or ceiling fan was surrounded with cobwebs. So many spiders I actually stayed in the living room on the couch , which was actually very comfortable but just think that it needs to be brought to somebody’s attention. Otherwise, I think the house is perfect. We absolutely loved it.

Annual old ladies trip that was perfect for what we were looking for. Great area to shop, eat out and listen to some live music and then unwind on this lovely porch and watch the sailboats float by. The kitchen was well stocked, there was even a Keurig with coffee provided, linens and towels were included as well and there was plenty of room for a large group. This house is a charming old farm house. We really enjoyed our stay.

My family of 10 adults stayed this past weekend. The house was very comfortable! Space space space! We all enjoyed how much space we had, loved the 5 bedrooms, beds comfortable. So nice to have towels and linens supplied. Thoroughly enjoyed everything about this home and the views could not ne better! We have a big crew and all were very happy! Amanda was quick to respond fantastic to work with! 1st stay at Kelley's as we usually go to Put In Bay. Could not be happier! We plan to book again and for a longer stay and at a time when kids can island hop if they choose too! This house is 100% for us!

Great view and relaxing front porch. Well stocked. Authentic cottage! We did pull out the vacuum to get rid of some of the spider webs (which I get, we are near the lake), and it smelled like the bag hadn't been changed in years.

Relaxing, incredibly accommodating, warm and inviting. Every room was a treasure. Thank you for the relaxation and the opportunity to create new memories.

This is THE most charming historical property on the island. My friends and I had a magical experience from cozy fires on the water to morning cups of coffee on the beautiful porch, over looking the lake. The blend of historic charm and water life was one if the best experiences! A+++

8.0 / 10.0

The view was beautiful! We were able to walk to the grocery and some restaurants. We bought our car along. Very few places to park on the island. The house was infested with spider webs and spiders. We wondered if that’s a island thing? We spent most of our time on the porch. Enjoyed the coffee at the house. I doubt we will recommend the house because of the spiders and over priced for this stay.
