Oswegatchie River Lodge - Thousand Islands, New York Vacation Rental

Thousand Islands New York

The Oswegatchie River Lodge is a completely restored late 1800’s farm house. It is rented as a single unit. It has a full kitchen, living room, 3 bedrooms, bath with Jacuzzi tub/shower, and a sun room with a sofa sleeper, and can sleep up to 8 people. Other amenities include cable TV and wireless internet. It is located in the center of a non-working 85 acre farm with over half a mile frontage on the Oswegatchie River, one of the most beautiful and pristine rivers in the St. Lawrence County, Northern NY.

The house sits back off of a small country road, up on a knowle, with a large deck and sun room looking down through a large stand of honey locust trees to the valley pasture below. It is a short hike through the meadows to the clear waters of the river, where we have a totally private picnic area with swimming hole, kayaks, hammocks, gas grill and open deck. If fishing is your forte, this section of the river has some of the best small mouth bass fishing you will find anywhere.

If hiking or cross country skiing is your forte, we have several miles of easy to moderate hiking trails through the farm. There is a great variety of forested ridges with cliffs and views, and meadows filled with wild flowers in the summer months. The lands are shaped like a bowl with no other houses in sight.

This area of the river provides just superb smooth water kayaking (no white water here). The river winds down through remote forested areas and farm lands and there are literally miles of secluded kayaking and/or fishing where you don't see another house in sight. The banks of the Oswegatchie are lined with wild flowers, ferns, rock cliffs and many pine stands along the way. Of course wild life abounds in areas like this and you may see a fox, coyote, deer, turkey, porcupine, and an occasional bear. Bob cat and eagles can be seen occossionally as well. On the river you will see ducks, geese, beavers, musk rats and great blue herons.

The 1800’s post and plank farmhouse has a fully stocked kitchen and enough food for your first mornings breakfast. It has been restored under the watchful eye of Dale and Sophie Lehmer and their restoration company, Antique Woods and Colonial Restoration Inc.

The original wide plank floors have all been refinished and after the house was completely gutted and insulated, the interior walls were covered with reclaimed antique lumbers gleaned from other early structures. The lodge is furnished with all antiques and some hand crafted reproductions.

It is centrally located in the St. Lawrence County, one of the most sparsely populated counties per sq. mile east of the Mississippi River. Gouverneur is located 5 minutes away from the lodge, Canton (St. Lawrence and SUNY Canton Universities) - 20 minutes away, Potsdam (Clarkson and SUNY Potsdam Universities) and 1000 Island region -35 minutes. Black lake -15 minutes away.

You will probably see an Amish buggy ride by the house from time to time, as we are located on the edge of a large Old order Amish community. We have made arrangements with several of our Amish friends to provide buggy rides (and sleigh rides in winter) through the Amish community for our guests.
