Country-size, full service, eat-in kitchen and house is surrounded by four furnished porches with breathtaking views... One is enclosed in glass/screens. All baths have claw-foot tubs/showers. Boathouse with docks and deep water.
This is a charming and unique part of the world nestled among 1800 enchanted islands in the St. Lawrence River. Rich in history and exciting historical activities: French Festival, tours and enjoy tea in lovely castles, ride in antique boats, antique boat auction, picnic on surrounding island parks where children play on old fashioned playgrounds, stroll through villages with gingerbread houses that take you back to the turn of the century, dine on the front porch of grand old hotels.
Delight in the history of the people who lived year-round on islands, who went to school in school boats and ice skated across the frozen river to school, visit one of the oldest post offices in the U.S. which is on an island only accessible by boat.
Share in the excitement of Pirates Weekend and the Poker Race with roaring cigarette boats, delight in the parade of the antique boats, wonderful art galleries, performances in restored 1800 opera house, visit castles, antique shops, watch the island people come by boat to get their supplies at the town docks, enjoy Canadian towns, restaurants and casino, relax and just enjoy nature. Unforgettable vacation! |
