Top Port Clinton Lighthouse Hotel Reviews

Best Western Port Clinton

10/10 Excellent

"Very comfortable. Good breakfast."

Beachfront Resort

8/10 Good

"Nice place to stay and location."

QUAINT 2BR LAKE COTTAGE 1 MINUTE WALK TO JET EXPRESS AND RESTAURANTS

10/10 Excellent

"Nice house and Brandon was easy to work with."

“Blame Jaime” downtown, the heart of all the fun!

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was superior. Jaime and Steve kept communication personable and informative. Being in the the middle of downtown, enjoying yourself, and being able to walk back instead of driving is a smart thing to do. I would rebook in a second."

Port Clinton Home w/ Lake View - Walk to Beach!

10/10 Excellent

"Stayed for an extended weekend with my family and two pups. Had a great day at Put in Bay. Loved this house and Port Clinton. The house was well stocked and very clean. The house is decorated beautifully. We would love to return!"

Pats Place at the Lake

10/10 Excellent

"This was the perfect place to stay for our 2 night trip to visit Put-in-Bay with our friends. The place was very clean and well stocked. It was in a convenient location and had nice carport parking for 2 vehicles. We would definitely stay here again."

Escape to the Lake!

10/10 Excellent

"Felt like this property looked smaller in the pictures, it was very comfortable and spacious. Plenty of seating to eat or relax. The owners have included all the amenities that you would need to enjoy a day at the beach. The shower felt great, nice water pressure. The kitchen was small but had everything you would need if you wanted to cook which we didn't but we may consider doing that on our next visit. It was very handy to go to the local restaurants for breakfast lunch or dinner. There was a nice beach area, plus the swimming pool with plenty of chaise lounges and the hot tub was wonderful. Jet express was within walking distance so you could go to Put-in-Bay or Kelly's Island with the ferrys running every half hour. This is a very nice condo and is well worth the price. We will be returning next summer."

Charming 4-bedroom house with AC, WiFi in downtown Port Clinton!

10/10 Excellent

"3 couples traveling for Labor Day. The house was very spacious and comfortable. There were supplies upon supplies which made things so much easier if we forgot something. The front porch was amazing for sitting, laughing and playing games. 100% would stay again!"
