Inground Saltwater Pool
Enjoy a refreshing dip in our inground heated saltwater pool, open daily from 10AM to 5PM between Memorial Day weekend and the end of September. Pool towels are available in the sun porch, and guests can unwind on chaise lounge chairs located on both the pool and patio levels. For added fun, yard games like Connect Four, Jenga, and Corn Hole are also available for your enjoyment
Yacht Cruises
Hop aboard our 29-foot Tiara Yacht and explore the scenic beauty of the Lake Erie islands with up to five of your friends or family. Whether you choose our one-hour sightseeing cruise—with sweeping views of downtown Put-in-Bay and its harbor—or opt for a longer half-day outing, it’s a truly memorable way to experience island life. Cruises are available during the week from mid-June through early August, and on weekends from the beginning of June through Labor Day. Pricing is available upon request or on brochures located at the Getaway Inn and Chapman House.
On-site Golf Cart Rental
We offer three 2 – 4 passenger golf carts and one 8-passenger limo cart for rent. You can reserve a cart when you call or by including a note in the comment section of your online booking. For additional rentals, we recommend Harriet’s House—a short walk to Erie Street—which offers reasonable rates and allows carts to be parked overnight at our property without extra fees. For questions or help at Harriet’s House, feel free to contact Tiffany or Tara directly at 419-341-2191.
Great Room and Sun-Porch
Our great room, which serves as the inn’s welcoming lobby, is designed to be a relaxing space outside your guest room. Whether enjoying breakfast, listening to music, reading, or playing games, this space is ideal for winding down or connecting with others. The room is open from 7AM to 11PM; we kindly ask guests to limit noise after 9PM. Adjacent to the backyard patio, the sun porch offers cozy seating for four to five people and is a favorite among guests. With rustic cedar siding and floor-to-ceiling windows, it’s the perfect spot to play games, enjoy quiet conversation, or simply take in the view.
Patio and Fire Pit Area
Our beautifully landscaped backyard includes a spacious 20×20 foot patio and a cozy fire pit area. The patio features a circular table for six with an umbrella, a bistro table for two, and a picnic table for additional seating. Adirondack chairs and benches around the fire pit offer flexible seating arrangements, and guests are welcome to move them as needed. Firewood is conveniently located beneath the benches, along the kitchen side of the house, and just beyond the backyard gate near the nature trail entrance.
Nature Tail
Just beyond our backyard, a private trail leads you into Cooper’s Woods—a protected natural woodland on the island. Follow the red-dot markers for a peaceful five-minute loop, or take the extended 25-minute route for a more immersive walk through the surrounding forest. It’s the perfect way to experience the island’s natural beauty without leaving the property.
On-site parking
There’s plenty of space for parking at the Getaway Inn. We recommend angling your vehicle toward the softball field, which allows space for up to four cars. For overflow, guests can use the nearby school parking lot just up the street. Please avoid parking across the street in the senior/community center lot. If you’re visiting during a softball game on Sunday, Monday, or Wednesday between 5 – 9PM, consider moving your vehicle to avoid being hit by a flyball.
Complimentary Bicycles and Tandems
Guests have access to a variety of complimentary beach cruiser bicycles and tandem bikes, perfect for exploring the island at your own pace. Bikes and tandems are available on a first-come, first-served basis—just grab one and go enjoy the day!
