  Our stay this wonderful house was very relaxing and worth the trip. The house was very clean and functional. Front and back landscaping were immaculate. Very nice and well kept yard. Todd was very gracious to assist us in getting to know the property as well as the town. As dog owners, the enclosed yard worked out perfectly for us. The beds were comfortable as well as the living room furniture. Our evenings on the front porch sipping a glass of wine were priceless. The appliances and the outdoor BBQ worked well. Everything is walking distance to convenience stores, gift shops and restaurants. A five minute walk to downtown Alexandra Bay made it worthwhile. Thanks Todd! Definitely we will be coming back!

  The house feels very homey and comfortable making it a home away from home! It is well maintained, clean and complete with furnishing to accomodate 6-8 adults. The house also has a spacious backyard and BBQ area. The location is very convenient from the small town area and the harbor making it stress-free to explore the islands. Owner is very accomodating, knows the area well and great with giving suggestions on activities that can be enjoyed while visiting Alex Bay. We definitely enjoyed watching a show in Bonnie Castle ( which is a 5 min walk from the house), riding the ferry to see Boldt Castle and Singer Castle and taking a hot air balloon ride over Alex Bay ! Biking around the area is also an enjoyable activity. We will definitely consider going back=)

  Owner response: Chester and Wendy, I am so glad you and your friends enjoyed your time in the Thousand Islands. I have never been in a hot air balloon... The view must have been spectacular! Thank you for being great guests. It would be a pleasure to see you back here again sometime. The best to you Sincerely, Kurt

  This is an excellent property at a very convenient location in relation to downtown Alex Bay. The property was very clean and well maintained and the property owner was extremely accommodating. The location is a 5-10 minute walk to downtown and the fenced yard provides you with good privacy in the back of the house. The foot traffic was high in front of the house during weekends but the street remained very quiet during the week. THe proximity to the Walton Street store was great as well. It made getting ice and boating essentials a breeze each morning. The lack of dock availability means an extra expense however if you have a slip secured or don't have a boat that isn't an issue. All in all, great house, owner is good people, and I would rent here again.

  This was our first visit to 1000 Islands and we were so pleased when we entered the house. It was clean with nice furnishings and a private fenced in yard. The dart board, fooseball table and horseshoes were fun additions. We enjoyed the short walks into town every night and it was so close to the marina that we rented a boat from as well as to fishing sites, a drive-in and miniature golf. It was also a short drive to Clayton for kayak rentals, fishing and swimming. Kurt could not have been more accomodating and easily accessible for any questions that we had. We would stay here again.
