ABOUT THIS PROPERTY
Kelso Full House is the complete 111 E. Kelso Drive experience — and for large groups, it's hard to beat. The former duplex has been thoughtfully configured as a single rental, giving your group four bedrooms, two full bathrooms, two separate living areas, a wood-burning fireplace for cooler evenings, and the full basement game room with projector, arcade games, and air hockey. It's a property designed for groups who want space, comfort, and something to do when they're not on the beach.
Positioned on Kelso Drive with Kelso Beach steps away and Presque Isle State Park less than a mile from your door, this is one of the most strategically located properties in the Pakelo Hospitality portfolio. The full house sleeps eight to ten comfortably across four bedrooms, making it the natural choice for large families, extended friend groups, or multi-family summer getaways. Waldameer & WaterWorld is seconds away, and the park's 13 beaches, fishing piers, and kayak launches are all within easy reach.
Booking note: Kelso Full House is our most-requested property for prime summer season, particularly for groups of 8+ celebrating birthdays, reunions, or extended lake week vacations. The fireplace and two living rooms make it equally appealing in the fall and early spring. Note that during peak season this listing covers the full property — we do not split the front and back units separately during high-demand periods. Pet-friendly with a small fee. Book direct for the best rate.
Offseason or When Available: The front half of Kelso can be booked and is the ideal booking for smaller groups or off-season travelers who want the Kelso location without paying for the full house. During peak summer season, this unit may only be available as part of the Full House booking. If your group is larger or you want the complete property — both living rooms, the fireplace, all four bedrooms, and the game room — check availability for Kelso Full House and Kelso Front on our booking page.
