Lake Erie: Staying at Put-in Bay

[sb in gp]

I'm looking for advice on the best place to stay at Put-in Bay. First week in August. We have 3 boats. We've got young teens, so we don't want the real crazy area. We have a couple that needs a hotel room. Thanks for any help.

It's been a few years since we've been there but we liked The Boardwalk Marina or hang on a mooring ball. If you don't have a dingy there is (was) a shuttle service. The first time we went there we stayed at Ladd's. We didn't know that is where the ferrys land, and they run until about 1 or 2 am if I remember correctly. Not a whole lot of sleep that night!

If you will be there Sun-Thur you might try Crews Nest. Great place for kids and not crazy like some others. Very short distance from town.

If you haven't reserved the hotel room yet, you might be out of luck already. They use to sell out for the summer by Memorial Day.

"Bay Weeks" run through August 5. This is the annual Inter Lake Yachting Association's regatta. You can check out their website - http://www.i-lya.com/ - for their schedule.

As for a place to stay, what others have said is accurate. The city docks are pretty wild on the weekends. Hotel space may be hard to come by at this late date.

Good luck and enjoy the bay!

Thanks everyone. We got in at the Cruise Nest. Had to move up to Wed-Thurs to find accomodations. We found hotel rooms for the party that won't sleep aboard too.

The Crews nest should be nice. They have a small tiki Bar,pool,and restaurant. Food is very good but a little pricey. Check out the Put in Bay Resort and conference center http://www.putinbayresort.com/index.php They have a really nice pool and hot tub and shouldn't be very crowded.
