About this property
RUSTIC yet ELEGANT! TALL TIMBERS LODGE in the Thousand Islands
Tall Timbers is one of a kind! Owners design. Enjoy a Timber frame stay with grand trees built into a very warm, comfortable, yet elegant and rustic home. Many features have a story. Such as the mantel was pulled out of the waters of Lake Ontario and the Newell Posts came from a Cedar Tree cut by a friend in Redwood then customized to adorn our staircase. Tall Timbers was built with over 900 hours of labor by a gentleman named Ken. We are so grateful to him for helping our dreams turn to reality along with a few others, but especially my Dad who has multiple talents. My Mom helped with many aspects from painting to watching the children, so we could work. We raised our children here and now are looking to welcome others to enjoy this amazing home and make great memories as we have. All the amenities that couples or families can enjoy you will find here. Even your dog has what we call the Daj Mahal, which is a very large kennel with 2 dog houses on a raised deck, brick pavers and fresh water available. Locking Gate for peace of mind while you are out adventuring. We do have a Ring Cameral at the front door. This allows us to greet our guests and makes us instantly available at check in.
Main Floor: Large Laundry Room has upright front loading w/d and this is also where your dog will sleep during your stay. Just outside this door is a wrap around deck where you will find the Hot Tub and Seasonal Shower along with our Glamorous outdoor bathroom (look up to appreciate the crystal chandelier) for convenience when you are enjoying the Timber Pub by the fire (also smoking area). The Timber Pub is a Custom Bar with 2 light fans, a chandelier, a retro RED sink, and a hammock area! Also great area to BBQ, while playing some corn hole!
Back to the house: Step up to the fully equipped kitchen which has all stainless appliances along with a wine fridge and an 8' cutting board. The kitchen is a cooks dream. If it's lacking anything - lmk! It is open view to the great room, which has an oversized cozy window seat, big enough for 2 to lay down. From this space you can oversee your fur family in the Daj Mahal kennel or enjoy the birds. A soapstone gas fireplace also warms this space for fall guests. It's a grand feel in this room as the ceiling peak reaches 30'. We often just lay on the floor and look up at the cool joineries. There are double doors to the deck for outdoor dining. Under the arch you'll find the large dining space for 8, a fully equipped hutch for place settings and a buffet. Just through the pocket door you'll find the TV Room with a 60", 2 reclining chairs and a reclining double leather love seat. Behind the partial wall there is a Trundle bed for a midday nap, children or elderly who doesn't want to climb stairs.. This room has a small library for all ages and many games and puzzles.
2nd Floor: Upstairs the bathroom has a tile shower and double sink it is located between 2 Bedrooms. To the right is the "Silver Hemlock Room" accommodating a queen bed and 2 smart lamps where you can plug in and a tv. This room is open to a loft above. To the left is the "Yellow Pine Room" accommodating a queen bed adorned with an alternative down that is so inviting and cozy you won't want to get up. It also has a tv and mirrored closet doors. Just over the bridge (here you can view the festivities below in the great room on one side and the main entry on the other) is the North Oak Suite. This room has a luxurious comfortable King that raises for reading or watching TV. You can plug your phones into the smart lamps and put oil in your spa diffuser to set the mood for romance under the large magnolia tree that is a lifesize print at the head of the bed. The ensuite bathroom has a shower, double sinks and a clawfoot tub.
The lower level (basement) has a private entrance for our son Paul (also, a licensed Massage Therapist). He quietly resides there and is available by appointment only as he works full time also. His number is available to you upon arrival.

We had such a wonderful week in Cape Vincent! Tall Timbers was breathtakingly crafted, relaxing, and more than we could have asked for. Our hosts were friendly, always available, and Becky shared great local spots to visit. The Stewart family made our stay special, and I’ll definitely be returning. Thank you for offering such a lovely home for this adventure!

Your review was so thoughtful. We loved meeting you and your family. You are welcome back anytime. We do love the 1000 Islands and enjoy providing a home atmosphere for families to make memories.
Beautiful, spacious home with great outdoor space for activities or just relaxing. Not far from Clayton or Alexandria Bay to enjoy the 1000 Islands. Hosts were super helpful and friendly! Even the dogs had a great time! 10 out of 10 stars!

Thank you for your review! It helps future travelers to understand the FUN that can be had at Tall Timber. We take pride in making sure each room is perfect for our guests. Please come again!
Tall Timber Lodge is a beautiful home on a quiet setting. We wanted a special place as we were traveling with family, and we were not disappointed. Everyone loved the home, including the kids who took over the theater room wing of the home. We felt right at home and very comfortable. All the beds were perfect. We all agreed we would want to come back to the same rental.

John, it was a pleasure meeting you. Thank you for taking such good care Tall Timbers! You and your guests are welcome to stay anytime!
We came for a family vacation with our adult kids and their spouses. The property and amenities were amazing. The house was spacious and had such a homey feel. Everyone loved the house and agreed that if/when we come back to the 1000 Lakes, we will definitely want to stay here again. Becky and Mark were very responsive to all of our questions and needs. We highly recommend Tall Timbers and the Stewarts.

Thank you for your review! We hope you come enjoy the 1000 Islands and TALL TIMBERS again. We love to share our home with families making memories. That's what counts at the end of the day...
Beautiful home. Owners were very attentive and accommodating. We are familiar with the area but Mark and Becky gave us a few options we didn't know about. Our kids were able to bring their furbaby on this vacation which made them extremely happy. Duke loved Wilson's Beach which was new to us and was a great place to explore.

Wilsons Beach is a local Favorite! I'm so glad you enjoyed it. Hopefully Duke gets to come swim in the Lake Again!
This was our family’s second summer at Tall Timbers Lodge for summer vacation, and we love it! All of the amenities of the house and outdoor living space more than make up for not having a rental on the river. We are already booked again for next summer. Becky and Mark are wonderful hosts. Highly recommend!

Katrina thanks so much for your great review. We are so glad we enable people to make great memories at our favorite place in the world. It truly is special and why we felt so passionate about sharing it with others. We look forward to having you again!
Tall Timbers Lodge was the perfect place for our family vacation. There is plenty of room for everyone to spread out and the open floor plan of the kitchen/living room area was perfect for family time. There is plenty to do while staying on the property, you can use the hot tub, play outdoor games or indoor games. Tall Timber Lodge is centrally located and a short drive to everything. We will definitely be back!

Thanks for staying with us! We hope you visit us again. A credit of $100 for our 5 star repeat guests! Kindly, Mark and Becky
Becky and Mark could not have been more welcoming or helpful. We had wonderful weather and enjoyed museums, boat ride, tours. We visited with family that stayed at the house in addition to others that visited. All enjoyed the fire pit and smores. 8 stayed in the house and we did not feel crowded. It was a great week and we will return when we can.

Thank you for your kind words. It was so nice meeting you both. I’m so glad you enjoyed your stay. We hope to see you again! Have a great rest of 2022!
We absolutely enjoyed our stay that tall timbers. It is worth the price if you have a big family with you. The home is beautiful and unique! Good quality everything in the home. The yard is huge with a swingset, nice fireplace, outdoor seating area on the deck, a full Court for Pickleball or basketball. We took advantage of the cornhole that was there. We cooked a lot inside and outside and their outdoor black top grill came in handy. The kitchen had everything that we needed.The closest town was about 15 minutes away, which had a good grocery store. The closest beach ( cedar point) was about 10 minutes away and we enjoyed a few sunsets in Cape Vincent, which was about five minutes away. I was also able to go kayaking from the public dock in Cape Vincent. The neighborhood in which the house is located is very quiet and you can see many stars at night.The hosts were very responsive and kind people. We had a few issues with the hot tub and TVs in the rooms and they were on top of fixing any issues. We would def return!

Thank you for staying at Tall Timbers. The stars are truly magical at night here. Its really nice to sit outback or in the hottub with lights off and watch the magic in the sky. So glad you enjoyed yourselves, you're welcome back anytime!
Awesome clean accommodations, don't pass this house up!
Check in process was simple. Well maintained property, kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed to cook inside and the outside had a terrific grill. Outdoor area was beautiful, we enjoyed the spa, basketball net, ladder ball, corn hole, the tiki bar and fire pit. All the amenities were exactly as discribed, beds were comfortable and entire house was clean. Becky and Mark were prompt responding to our questions. The dog kennel was also a nice perk!! The Thousand Island area has a lot to offer. Don't pass on this place!

Donna THANK YOU for taking time for your kind review. We hope you come enjoy our home again in the future. You were terrific guests.
Tall Timber Lodge is a great home base to explore the 1000 Islands. Well situated between Clayton and Cape Vincent, many attractions and wonderful parks are close by - including easy trips to Canada. The Lodge is unique structurally and visually pleasing. It is well appointed and clean. Beds are comfortable and linens and towels are high quality. Lots of homey touches. The backyard is a gem with a hot tub, pub, fire pit and outdoor bathroom and shower. Perfect for starry evenings capping off busy days. Becky is a great host - responsive and helpful and very nice. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and would return to the Lodge when in this area again.

Stay was ok, felt like we were being watched all the time which made all of us uneasy, and to pay a cleaning fee then have to throw towels in laundry and strip beds did not make us happy But the home was nice enough a bit dusty I would not stay again

Thank you for a 4 star rating. We do have a ring bell at the front door to greet our guests. I believe that may have been a surprise to you whom brought a dog but didn’t claim it during your reservation. Also it was an opportunity to inform you of our smoking policy. Someone bled on crisp white sheets and through to the mattress pad. Our professionals were able to get it out due to the quality of their work.. As far as dust I’m quite sure it would have to be looked for. It is a Timber home, so dust free is impossible. Hope you find the same quality in your next vrbo.
About the host
Hosted by Mark or Becky Stewart
We are the Stewart Family! We built our dream home, raised 3 sons while building our Sign Company, "Stewart Signs & Apparel" and zoom 20 years went by! Now our oldest son is married to a lovely woman we adore and our other 2 sons are finding their way through college, huge into fitness and learning about Day Trading. Mark and I (Becky) truly enjoy a glass of wine while relaxing in our hot tub on a starry night. We enjoy spending time with our dogs Sadie and Simon whether it be on a hike or hanging out by the campfire they bring us so much joy. In the summer months we are very busy with the Sign Business, but make time to explore the River and absolutely find it to be the most amazing place on earth. We love this region and are grateful to call it home. Life is good, God is great!
Why they chose this property
In 1997 Mark and I put a double wide in, what is now the basketball court. There we lived for 10 years until we built Tall Timbers Lodge. It has been a journey! The hours of workmanship is as immeasurable as the Love behind it. We feel it is too precious not to share with others.
What makes this property unique
This is by no means a home to take for granted. It is special, we have taken pride in providing you with the most comfortable stay and hope you find it as unique and lovely as we do. It is one of a kind! If you decide to stay with us again and let us know ahead of time we can give you a revisit rate or a gift certificate for $100 toward a unique Stewart Sign for your home.
