Found in the resort community of Put in Bay, Ohio, the Getaway Inn B & B is centrally located in a quiet area of the Village. It is just two short blocks from the main street of PIB. Also, the caves, winery, family fun center and churches are within a 10 minute walk from the b&b.  It is easy to take a day trip to another Lake Erie island from Put-in-Bay.  The Jet Express Sandusky Run stops at Kelleys Island or the Sonny S. departs the Boardwalk dock to Middle Bass Island.

The Innkeeper's section of the house was originally a log cabin built in 1830 and is thought to be one of the first buildings on the island.  In 1998, the original house was entirely refurbished along with the addition being added to create the Inn.  During the 1998 construction, trees that were needed to be removed were milled on site and the wood was used in various areas of the lodge.

The fully air-conditioned house has six comfortable rooms available for guests. Each room has a queen size bed, cable television and private bath. One room has a second queen size bed, two rooms have a twin sleeper sofa and one room is a suite with an additional two twin beds and a sitting area with a twin sleeper sofa. These rooms are designed to help fit the needs for your travel. Whether you are on a romantic getaway, a weekend jaunt, time with the family, birding, attending meetings or ice fishing, one or more of our rooms should fit your needs.

Breakfast is served from 8:30 AM to 9:30 AM weekdays and from 8:30 AM to 10 AM on weekends. The B&B has a common refrigerator and microwave for you to store your own beverages and snacks.

Pack your towel, swim shoes and enjoy time sunning and swimming in Lake Erie or at a local pool. There are two public beaches on the island. One is in the village next to Perry's International Peace Memorial and Monument. The other is a pebble-rock beach at South Bass Island State Park. You can also enjoy taking a dip in a pool if that is what you prefer. Put-in-Bay Resort & Conference Center, kindly permits the Getaway Inn guests to enjoy their pool and tiki bar.
 

There is no bridge to South Bass Island (pib, PutinBay, Ohio), but it is not difficult to cross to the Lake Erie Islands.  You can arrive on one of the two ferryboat lines, fly with Griffing Flying Service or Dairy Air on a small commercial aircraft or arrive in your own personal boat or plane.  The Jet Express (Put-in-Bay Boat Line) departs from downtown Port Clinton or Sandusky and arrives in downtown Put-in-Bay.  The Miller Boat Line departs from Catawba Point and arrives at the southern end of the island.  The Put-in-Bay Airport is located on the southeast side of the island.  There are numerous taxi services available in the summer and will take you anywhere on the island for $3 per person.  The Taxis normally wait at each ferry dock to meet each boat.  If you fly in, you can ask for assistance in calling for cab service.
