About this property
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.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Allison Will
Hi, we’re Mike and Allison Will, and we live full-time in neighboring Sandusky, Ohio. In addition to hosting The Wigwam, we also own the charming white cottage with the pink door just south of it. We absolutely love visiting Kelleys Island throughout the year—it’s the perfect place for our family to relax, unwind, and escape the stresses of daily life. We enjoy riding bikes around the island, taking golf cart rides, hiking the many trails, and watching the abundant wildlife on our properties. Of course, we also love dining at the local island restaurants and playing in nearby Lake Erie. Being hosts allows us to share this beautiful place with others, and it’s a joy to see guests experience the same peace and enjoyment we find here.
Why they chose this property
The west side of Kelleys Island is the perfect blend of serenity and accessibility. It's peaceful and quiet, offering the sense of luxury camping, yet it’s only a short distance from the lively action of downtown. We love the tranquility of the area, with the sounds of birds chirping and the occasional deer or fox crossing through the yard. The large yard is a great place for family activities, whether it’s playing catch, enjoying a picnic, or just relaxing under the trees. It’s a place that feels like an escape from the hustle and bustle while still being close enough to everything we love.
What makes this property unique
What makes our property unique is the perfect balance of charm, history, and modern comfort. We’ve worked hard to preserve the character of the space while ensuring it’s updated and comfortable for our guests. Our property is always super clean, and we’re proud to say that the beds are the most comfortable on the island—perfect for a restful night after a day of exploring. We’re also in a perfect location: far enough away from the Island's noise to maintain peace and quiet, but close enough to easily enjoy the action when you’re ready. It’s the best of both worlds!
