Room & Board

Have you ever had a one-minute walking commute before? The lakefront home where our employees live is just a stone’s throw away from the store. Employee housing is situated conveniently right downtown near the grocery store, ATMs, bars, and restaurants. Additional housing is also available in a more secluded part of the island for those desiring a more private natural environment in exchange for a 0.6 mile commute.

There are no bridges connecting the island to the mainland. Kelleys Island is only accessible by air or water. The Kelleys Island Ferry Boat Line is a preferred method of transportation to and from the island for both individuals and automobiles.

Since this commute can be costly and time-consuming, Kelleys Island General Store provides deeply discounted housing for staff. Our two employee houses are within walking distance of the store. Each house is shared by a maximum of 5 employees, each having their own private fully-furnished bedroom with a locking door. The housing is very well maintained, air-conditioned, and equipped with amenities such as a stove, oven, refrigerator/freezer, microwave, pots and pans, dishes, glasses, and silverware. TV/Cable is not provided, but fiber WiFi is included! Rooms are single occupancy and available to employees at a rate of $62.50/week, utilities included.

Getting Here & Getting Around

You have one main option for getting to Kelleys Island: The Kelleys Island Ferry Boat Line out of Marblehead, Ohio. For more information about the Kelleys Island Ferry Boat Line, including rates and schedules, visit www.KelleysIslandFerry.com. Both the store and employee housing are located within walking distance from the ferry dock. The Kelleys Island Ferry Boat Line can transport automobiles and people.

For Fun

Kelleys Island is an ideal place for someone interested in nature, history, and recreation. Enjoy world-class geological sites like the Glacial Grooves (the largest and most humanly accessible example of glacial scoring on earth!) or the North Shore Alvar. We have mountain biking and hiking trails galore, kayak rentals, and fishing charter services. Chances are, you’ll make friends with folks who have their own boats and jet skis for even more fun on the water!

Perhaps the best part about island life is letting go of the hectic commutes and go-go attitude of the mainland. Here on Kelleys Island, you can truly relax when you’re not on the clock. When people say they’re on island time, they’re always smiling!
