My all time
favorite memory as a kid was going to the island. My grandfather,
George Laurenz, owned a cottage near Peach Point* and it was
the most wonderful, easiest place I've ever been. That cottage
and this island, Put-in-Bay, have been my 'anchor' for all
these years. Someday maybe that cottage will be in my family
again. But in the meantime, I truly hope that my cottage will
bring you some of the joys, fun and pleasant memories that
my grandfather's cottage brought me.
Sincerely,
Joey Wolf
(Innkeeper) |

Welcome
to Put-in-Bay, Ohio, a favorite vacation spot in Lake
Erie. Put-in-Bay is located on South Bass Island
(the largest of the bass islands) off the northwest
shore of Ohio. It is approximately 65 miles from
Cleveland and about 50 miles from Toledo. South
Bass Island is small, only 3.5 miles by 1.5 miles, and
is only 570 feet above sea level. The climate
provides an ideal environment to support a large wine
industry. The unique limestone coastline adds
to the rugged beauty of the island, and is perfect for
fishing, boating, or swimming. The island is also
popular for birding, with hundreds of migratory birds
to see.
Put-In-Bay
offers a refreshing escape from the treadmill pace of
life. It is reachable only by water or air.
For transportation to and from the island, visit the
Miller Ferry web site at www.millerferry.com
or the Jet Express web site at www.jet-express.com
.
Tree
shaded park benches offer respite after a stroll
along the bustling harbor filled with pleasure
boats in summer. Shopping, outdoor restaurants
and pubs await your attention. Golf carts
are the vehicles of choice for both residents
and tourists in the summer. |
