The Old Nest Vacation Waterfront Home

Great! Family loved it!

Beautiful lake view

We were delighted with the location of the house and the comfortable rooms that made us feel right at home. We had everything we needed for a perfect stay! Thanks to the host for providing a great setting for our family time.

Amazing location! 2 min walk to downtown, lakefront view. Great historic house with lots of room. Will definitely book this house again!

Loved the eclectic house and the location was amazing. Would recommend new bed pillows and bed sheets for the bedsThank you for our stay

We have a fun weekend celebrating a milestone birthday. Lots of space for everyone and the view is the lake was phenomenal.

Very nice house and location

Beautiful view , quaint home

Roomy, well-equipped, charming home on the water. Nothing more needed for an idyllic island get-away!

Loved it! Big beautiful house.. Historic notes and photos were a plus!

Great location!

Older home , older kitchen, wonderful location

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!

This home is perfect for a quiet get-a-way.

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…

5 friends who retired from same company getting together for the tenth year to spend weekend.

Charming old home in great condition with the most amazing front porch view ever!

House was in a great location.

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!
