You'll find it all at the Anchor Inn Bed and Breakfast at Put in Bay, Ohio on South Bass Island! This charming B&B is just steps to the downtown area for shopping, restaurants, and entertainment. The classy but casual atmosphere included many thoughtful amenities. The 3 bedrooms are spotlessly clean with lovely decor and furniture each with their own bathroom.... more

The Anchor Inn has to be the best B & B on the Island. It is beautiful decor, warm and inviting, the gardens out back are just wonderful. Food is delicious and the hosts Joey and Kip are so kind,gracious and very accomodating. We decided to get married on the Island , unfortunately the weather did not cooperate with us... more

What a delight it was to have your wedding here! You both were so sweet, and I'm glad we could add to your day. I thought the pictures turned out nicely, and the weather held off long enough to have a nice service. Thanks for choosing us - we'll have a bottle of bubbly waiting for you on your 1st...

This was another of multiple visits to the Anchor Inn. I keep coming back because of the beauty of the gardens, the quiet and comfortable rooms (I really like the room with the private balcony), the excellent food, and the gracious hosts. The lilacs were in full bloom and the fragrance was everywhere. It is a great place to meet... more

The Anchor Inn offers the best of all the worlds Put-In-Bay has to offer. Truly a quick 1/2 block away from everything to do, a quiet retreat to rest and recharge, excellent food, well appointed luxurious rooms, gracious and helpful hosts, and beautiful surroundings. This place gets my personal "5 Star" rating, I can't imagine anyone could do more for... more

I have been to the islands many times and wanted to show my lady why they are a favorite destination for water lovers. I have always stayed here on my boat previously, but thought this time a B&B might be fun and less hassle. We were very pleased with the Anchor Inn. Perfectly located close enough to town to easily... more

After recently traveling through New York and Pennsylvania and staying in motels along the way, we had the good fortune to learn of a B&B in Put-in-Bay, Ohio, called The Anchor Inn. Put-in-Bay is on South Bass Island in Lake Erie, a lively, touristy place with lots to do, and The Anchor Inn, run by Joey and Kit, was the... more

We had a terrible stay because at this bed and breakfast you must have there breakfast or they speak terrible about you. The owner’s significant other “Kip” harassed us. Because we did not show up for breakfast one day they told us we were the worst people that had stayed with them. He started out by upsetting our teenager, then... more

My husband and I just returned from a kid getaway mini-trip. We stayed at the Anchor Inn bed and breakfast and absolutely loved it. The owners, Mike and Susan, were very friendly from the beginning and even gave us a couple of trips into town (which was only 3/4 mile away) on their golf cart and vehicle. When we first... more
