Our unit was dirty. Towels looked unwashed. Air conditioning was hardly working on a hot and humid 90 degree day. The staff was less than helpful and very disinterested in good customer service.

We were attending my step sons wedding up on Kelley's Island, so we did not sspwnd much time at the cabin. But, for the time we were there, it was a pleasant experience, and I will recommend Little Ted's to my friends and family.

There was a very homey feeling. The people who run the place are helpful and accommodating. It was quiet and peaceful, had no problem sleeping. The property was clean and well kept. Only thing to mention is flat pillows - bring your own, but that was my only issue and that's an easy fix.

The cottage was spacious and clean. What disappointed me was when we arrived the AC was running but it was still warm inside. I quickly realized the heat was on. The stove is way outdated and knobs for the burners were missing. The freezer worked great! Fridge barely worked at all. Like i said at the beginning it was clean and spacious but we wont be staying again

Not so great
Glorified trailer park, no privacy whatsoever, it was supposed to have private patio and/or a garden, there was none if that, and cottages are way too close to each other. We brought grilling supplies, but grill was broken, new one was promised to be installed the next day, but it was not. Was hot inside the cabin, old A/C was noisy, but did not reach to the bedrooms. But if you are looking for an inexpensive option for a large group - this will work. We will stay elsewhere next time.

Teds was close enough to anything but far enough to be away from craziness. A good value for families wanting to see the sights around the Port Clinton Cedar Point area. Pool was clean and the byob tiki bar was fun. We would go back. Nothing too fancy but still a fun place to stay.

When we got there, the cottage was flooded. They said that they would take care of it. We left to look around the town and while we were gone, I got a text that they would have the cleaning crew see what they could do the next morning. When we got back, the office was closed (5:30), so we left the key and a note and left to go home. Three hours away. It was a disaster.

Weekend Getaway
We loved everything about Little Ted's Cottages! Amazing location, nice pool, fire pits and amenities, and the kindest, sweetest staff over any place I've ever stayed. The cottage was roomy, updated and comfortable, everything we needed was there. It was very safe and security was on site. He made us feel welcome and was so kind and friendly! The cottage and grounds were very clean. We will definitely stay here every time we visit the Lake Erie area. Little Ted's more than exceeded our expectations! Highly recommend! It was a great place to relax!

There was no one there to assist with check-in when I arrived even though I got there around 5 p.m. Plus I had no where to park, the adjoining cabin guests were using my spot but I had not one to go to about it. The cottage had cobwebs throughout and I found debris under the bed and couch. One of the beds' sheets were not cleaned at all they had white powder all over. Plus the stove top burners did not work properly. It certainly was not worth what they are charging and then they charged extra for my dog, even though, I had indicated I had a dog on the expedia site.
