Relaxing time on the river!

My mom and I were looking for an affordable waterfront cottage to rent at the end of summer and our expectations were exceeded with this property! The cottage itself has a clear view of the water, was immaculately clean when we arrived, and situated on the end of a quiet residential street. We enjoyed sitting and swimming off the dock, bike rides and morning runs around the neighborhood, and playing games and eating meals on the deck outside. The nearby village of Clayton, which we had never visited before, offered cute shops, a nice waterfront path, and restaurants to try out (including a brewery and distillery right in town)! Jennifer was a fantastic host, who made the reservation process easy and answered all questions I had leading up to and during our stay. We are so glad we found her rental and can’t wait to return in the future.

Perfect Getaway for R and R!

Due to Covid, we were not able to spend time with family in Florida as we do each August (my eldest attends college there and we typically extend the trip). We decided to head to the Thousand Islands for a few days to stay closer to home. I was looking for a quiet cottage on the river, but close to attractions. That is exactly what we got. The cottage was exactly as described. The street was very quiet and the neighbors were simply the best! We spent a lot of time just enjoying the view, watching the ships and the gorgeous sunsets. We also went on a boat tour, including Boldt castle and shopped the villages of Clayton and Alex Bay. The only thing that I would change would be to be able to swim right there, as we were hoping to. The bottom of the water was mucky. This didn’t detour us though, as there is a state park a mile up the road. Other than that, the cottage, location and overall trip was nearly perfect. Thank you, Jennifer, for a wonderful stay! I’m dreaming of heading back. Th only question that I have for myself is why haven’t I ever gone before?
