Getaway Inn at Cooper's Woods — Hotel in Put-in-Bay Township

First experience for my wife and I with Put-In-Bay and Getaway Inn and both were wonderful. This was the week after Labor Day and the island was winding down their season. We experienced less crowds and a more relaxing atmosphere than the party reputation that the island seems to have during the summer. We enjoyed cooler temperatures and luckily no rain during our stay. It was perfect for us and another couple (all retirees) to enjoy the delicious breakfast provided each morning and then continue conversations (where we don't compete with loud music) in one of the intimate indoor shared spaces or outdoors by the well-maintained pool. The pool was heated but a little chilly for this time of the year. We stayed in the Forest View room and our friends were in the River Rock room next to us, both on the first floor. Our room was small compared to a standard hotel room but seemed to have everything you might need and a comfortable bed. We found the rooms to be very clean. The bathrobes provided were a nice touch. And the fresh baked cookies were very popular each evening. We were able to rent one of Getaway Inn's golf carts which provided convenient overnight parking right in front of the B&B. Our friends and ourselves enjoyed ourselves so much that we made reservations for around the same...

I do not generally leave a review unless a place exceeds my expectations as the Getaway inn did! I come from a European and hotel background so I am particular about places and food and service. First of all I highly recommend just taking bikes on the ferry (if you own them ) because it was an easy 10mins bike ride from the ferry landing to the Inn. Even though we arrived early Julie allowed us to checkin and leave our small backpacks in our room. Room was clean, quiet and quaint. The whole inn is beautifully decorated with historic pieces since part of this house is possibly the oldest house on South Bass Island. The back garden and salt water pool area is spectacular! We sat out there a lot and even enjoyed a campfire at night. The delicious breakfast and walk in the Cooper woods behind the inn were an added bonus. The staff is very kind and accommodating. I would strengthen the coffee but that's just me. I don't think there is a better place to stay on Put in Bay! And just a 5 mins walk into the town but far enough to not hear the bands at night. We will...

POOR BUSINESS PRACTICE! I booked a night at this inn for my upcoming anniversary in October. Just one night because we’re from out of state and have an infant so we don’t want to be away long. This was booked a couple of weeks ago. I get a voicemail saying that they have a two night minimum, so we need to book another night or our reservation will be canceled.

I’m a nurse working overnights this week, with the aforementioned infant, so I plan to call back on the weekend when I have time. Well, TOO BAD, because I get another call a day later telling me my reservation has been canceled and my deposit returned. I call to ask why I was able to book for one night on their website if they have a two night minimum? Danny says, oh, it must’ve just been some freak thing. I explain why I hadn’t had a chance to call yet and that the reservation was for my anniversary, and he just says, “yeah, sorry.” We booked months ahead from their own website and put a deposit down and couldn’t be accommodated?!...
