Ok, you may say what's with the forks? It was just a fun laugh we had with the amazing owners over breakfast. :D My husband and I enjoyed the company of our awesome hosts during our stay.

Being a frugal spender I was a little nervous when I saw the dollar signs but in reality it is probably worth every penny if not more. Upon arrival we were greeted with Sangria and Cheese; which was surprising and very appreciated considering it was after 9pm when we arrived. The next day we experienced what can only be described...

This was our first trip to Kelleys Island and the experience was amazing! Willie and Bob were wonderful hosts and fabulous cooks! For a quiet weekend get-a-way Water's Edge is a must for a B&B retreat. We met 2 awesome couples who stayed the same weekend and had a lot of laughs with Chris and Joan. We didn't have an... More

We just came back from our yearly vacation at Water's Edge. This was the 12th year that we have been there. Beth and Tim are super hosts and create the best breakfast anywhere. The B&B is comfortable and inviting. My favorite time is after dark, sitting in the front room with a fire in the fireplace looking out on the... More

This is a great place to relax. Beth and Tim provide a level of hospitality that can't be matched and make you feel right at home. My wife and I have visited 2 times within the past 3 months just to relax. The bad thing about Water's Edge Retreat is that everywhere I stay I hold them to the same... More

Water's Edge Retreat is the perfect place to relax and escape. It is owned by Tim and Beth Hermes, who are two of the warmest and most welcoming hosts we have met. The property is right on the shore of Lake Erie, with a large wraparound porch and a sitting area on the beach. The rooms are spacious and comfortable,... More

He and his wife are the sweetest! We absolutely loved the house and the rooms, the food was awesome and the staff was amazing! We are... More

My wife and I hadn't been on vacation alone for over 4 yrs, so we decided this was the year. We stayed two days and one night at the "Water's Edge Retreat" B&B at Kelleys Island. The place was emaculate, very friendly staff, and a very delicious breakfast. Let's put it this way, my daughter, Michelle, will be getting married... More
