About this property

Private Waterfront Cottage ~ Dock & Sunset Views in the Thousand Islands

Luxury Waterfront Retreat in the Heart of the Thousand Islands

Welcome to a private waterfront escape in the heart of the Thousand Islands. Situated on a beautiful island accessible by bridge, this peaceful setting offers sweeping river views, stunning sunset skies, excellent boating access, and world-renowned fishing, creating a truly special Thousand Islands experience.

This thoughtfully renovated cottage blends modern comfort with original charm and offers three private bedrooms and accommodations for up to six guests, making it perfect for families, couples, or small groups looking to experience the magic of the Thousand Islands.

The Property:

The cottage sits privately in a quiet bay near the International Rift and enjoys long south and west facing river views, incredible sunsets, and unspoiled scenery. The bay and surrounding channels are known for excellent bass fishing and the calm water also makes it an ideal place to kayak or try your balance on a stand-up paddleboard.

One of the most special aspects of the property is the natural setting:

In front is protected state parkland
In back is federal parkland
Across the water lies the United States shoreline

This rare combination creates remarkable privacy and uninterrupted views — something increasingly hard to find in the region.

You’ll also notice the unique boat traffic of the International Rift just a little off in the distance, where fishermen and families travel through the islands. These waters are famous among anglers for exceptional bass, pike and muskie fishing.

The Living Space:

The cottage has been carefully renovated while preserving its original character, with a bright open-concept layout designed around the multiple water views.

The main living space offers:

Large windows with two beautiful river views
A comfortable seating area
A propane fireplace
A smart, Frame TV
Shuffleboard Table

About the host

Your host

Host profile image
This cottage is owned and managed by our family through our company, TDGL. We have long loved the Thousand Islands and everything this special region offers. After spending many summers here, we were excited to renovate this property and share it with others who appreciate the beauty of the river, boating, and time outdoors. Our goal is to provide a comfortable, well-equipped place where guests can relax, gather with family and friends, and enjoy the charm of island life.

Why they chose this property

Hill Island sits in the heart of the Thousand Islands and offers some of the most beautiful and private waterfront in the region. We love the peaceful setting, the incredible river views, and the boating opportunities right outside the door. The St. Lawrence River is also world-renowned for fishing, with exceptional bass, pike, and muskie waters throughout the area. The location is also very convenient — you can drive directly onto the island across the Thousand Islands Bridge while still enjoying the feeling of being surrounded by water and nature.

What makes this property unique

Privacy is one of the things that truly sets this property apart. In a region where many waterfront cottages sit very close together, this cottage enjoys an unusually private setting with neighbouring cottages set well apart and naturally screened by trees. Across the water to the south is protected state parkland, and behind the cottage is federal parkland, creating open, unspoiled views and a very peaceful atmosphere that is increasingly rare in the Thousand Islands.

The cottage itself has been thoughtfully renovated while preserving its original charm. The open living spaces are designed around the river views, with long south- and west-facing sightlines that provide beautiful sunsets. With a private dock, clear water for swimming, kayaks and paddleboards, and plenty of room to relax both indoors and outdoors, it’s an ideal place to experience the Thousand Islands in comfort and privacy.
