Perfect fishing get-away

Great place for a relaxing fishing trip. Very easy and affordable to leave truck and trailer at the state park with a very short boat ride to the island. If anything is needed you can take a 2minute boat ride to Alexandria Bay. The host Phil was more than accommodating and very helpful and prompt on all questions. Highly recommend.

Great location for a weekend on the water.

Wonderful old rustic boathouse. The owner is friendly and helpful and even let us play cards on his boat that is docked there. Location is close to Boldt Castle which was a nice day trip. The better restaurants are in Clayton which is a little further away by boat. You must have a boat to get here...it is on a lovely island. Lots to explore on the river.

About the host

Hosted by Philip Amsterdam

Casablanca has been in our family for almost 60 years. The third generation is starting to use the island and learning to love The River. There is nothing like island life to learn to appreciate the surroundings.

In renting the boathouse and occasionally the main house, Casablanca it allows us to off set some of the cost and stay here too. In the short time we have been renting we have met many wonderful people and families that we now call friends and many that make their family memories by coming back to Cherry Island each summer.

Why they chose this property

You can stay on the mainland anytime, come stay on an island and enjoy the river as the locals do, hear the fish jumping and geese landing in the water. Great sleeping on Cherry Island.

We know that you can stay anywhere, we appreciate our guests because they make it possible for us to to be here too.

What makes this property unique

It is a 125 building and if we are available we would like you to come up and tour the main house while you are here. We have plenty of parking on shore for cars and boat trailers. We have been here 60 years and can point you in the right direction no matter what you want to do on your vacation.
