Millionaires Row with Close-up Views of the Ships and Castle

I would vacation again at this location. Homeowner was always available if I had any problems or questions. We had a exciting evening on the 4th sharing time with the homeowner watching fireworks over Boldt Castle around the fire pit. I'm looking forward to returning again next month. A boat is definitely needed in this area.

This is our 5th year vacationing at "The Cottage", and it continues to exceed our expectations. From the moment we arrive, we are greeted with awesome hospitality (thanks as always, Rob) and a location with views that will take your breathe away! After vacationing in the Thousand Islands for nearly 40 years, this is the only place our family wants to come back to! The property and cottage are always in perfect order. We thoroughly enjoy everything the cottage has to offer including dining al fresco on the balcony watching the boats, jet skiers and massive ships go by, relaxing at the pool, hanging at the dock enjoying the river, nights gathered at the fire pit with views of the castle lit up, spectacular sunsets and the most serene mornings, nightly shuffle board competitions and we also bring our boat to go fishing every day! You can just relax and take in the beauty or be as active as you choose to be. Although we prefer to spend most of our time at the Cottage, or boating on the river, there is plenty to do. The Price Shopper Market is nearby, as is a fun go-kart track, the town of Alex Bay has great restaurants, boat tours and plenty of boutiques, and Clayton is just a short drive with more great restaurants, antique boat museum and boutiques. I guess you can tell we are very familiar with Alex Bay! We just love the area, and staying at this Cottage has made it even better! River life Rocks!! See you next year!!

We found this location to be very nice and the views and the owners were exceptional. It offered everything we were looking for in a location and proximity to the water. The dock was just amazing and, if you've never experienced this waterway, it's clear and beautiful. But, we renovate properties and maybe we're too critical but in our opinion, the place needs some TLC. For example, the peeling paint at the front door and its surrounding trim set the set the stage for us right up front. The fire pit, while exquisitely positioned overlooking the water, shows crumbling masonry and grasses and weeds that grow through the stone patio surrounding it. Some of the lights on the lovely stairs that take you to the dock dangle from their posts without their covers. When we arrived the dishwasher was still filled dishes from the previous guest and the drawer front to the stove was off and resting against the stove. The refrigerator still had food in it from the previous guest. The owners are lovely and extremely busy and when told of the refrigerator and dishes were very apologetic noting that this was unacceptable to them. Still, while these types of things and the other examples not sited here, are probably insignificant for many people, in our eyes it showed a lack of oversight and general property maintenance.

The photos don't reveal the beauty and serenity of the location. Everything was as described with plenty of space and a lovely balcony with gas grill to enjoy our meals while watching the big ships go by. The kitchen was well equipped and my daughter loved the loft bedroom. The AC was perfect upstairs and a little cooler downstairs. The place was very clean and anything we needed Rob was quick to respond. The owners, Rob and Abbie, were so friendly and even invited us to their pool party. Use of the pool at the main house was delightful and fishing off the dock was fabulous as my daughter and husband caught some large bass. This is a beautiful location for walking as well and our little dog enjoyed the morning walks. Great hidden gem in a fabulous location, easy access to the Price Chopper nearby and short drive to ABay center and Clifton. We were treated like millionaires on "Millionaires Row."

We had such a wonderful time! The pictures don't do it justice. Our hosts were wonderful and eager to make our stay perfect! Spent several nights on the deck and at the fire pit with friends! Alex Bay is a great little town with many attractions, restaurants and bars. Spent time in Clayton and Kingston too! Our favorite restaurant was Bella's in Clayton. Would stay here again and again!
