About this property

The Ledges Resort and Marina, Gatehouse 2

Gatehouse 2 is a fully renovated three-bedroom two-bath unit that can sleep up to eight persons. It is one side of a duplex with it's own private entrance and deck.
- Welcome to The Ledges Resort & Marina! We are located directly on the St. Lawrence River across from Boldt Castle. We have views of the castle, Sunken Rock Lighthouse, and the main shipping channel. There are decks, docks, hammocks, and gazebos all across our six-acre property. You will find many beautiful spots to relax, read a book, take a walk, or go fishing. We have a large in-ground pool and deck area. Every cottage has its own fire-pit where you can warm up under the stars. We even provide the firewood! There are plenty of open lawn areas to play catch, lawn games, or just take a walk.
The Ledges offers a peaceful getaway with six acres of landscaped grounds along the water. While the grounds provide privacy and lots of space, we are not in a remote location. It’s a quick and easy walk downtown Alexandria Bay. We are close to all of the attractions. At the Ledges you have the best of both worlds, relaxation and convenience!

I'm sorry about the power outage. A local substation had a problem, and the power was out in our town and all of the surrounding areas for a couple of hours. Luckily that is extremely rare. We're happy to hear you enjoyed your stay!

We had such a lovely stay at Gatehouse 2! The unit was clean, comfortable and well appointed. We enjoyed our meals outside on the deck with a table that could seat all of our family of 8 easily while catching beautiful views of the river! While we were nervous that this unit seemed to be a shared house (duplex), it was quiet and we had our own space with plenty of privacy. There is a bit of a walk to the water which is on the other side of the resort, but the views are still gorgeous. All of our needs were met in the unit, but if we needed anything extra or had questions, the owners responded promptly and were so kind and helpful. Thank you for a vacation we will always remember!

Lovely place but not what we expected

Very clean. Nicely decorated. Beautifully lanscaped. However , I was under the impression it was on the water. It is not. I was under the impression, it was a whole house, it is not. It is 1/2, the back half. I paid 50 daily to rent a boat slip. Upon returning from a trip on the water we found another boat in the spot I paid for, in advance. Poor business to take money and not provide the service. So unfortunate. I am left with the feeling of being taken advantage of therefore spoiling memories of our 2025 family vacation.

We are so happy that you enjoyed the cottage and the property! I'm sorry if you did not realize that there are two completely separate rentals units in one building. The pictures and description in the listing is accurate. As far as the dockage goes, someone without our knowledge pulled into your assigned boat dock. As soon as you told us we immediately found out who's boat it was and had them move it. The boat was only there for around ten minutes of the four days you rented the dock. I'm sorry for the inconvenience. But I would not describe that as charging for something you didn't receive.

There were six adults and two children who stayed at the cottage for three days. It was comfortable with plenty of room. We enjoyed the view of the seaway and the close proximity to the shops and boat tours. Our hosts answered all of our questions in a timely and thorough manner. We very much enjoyed our stay! Thank you!

Perfect

The place was immaculate. Bedrooms were cozy and spacious. The touch of chocolates in each bedroom was heartwarming. Coffee tea and creams. Sweet touch. Could not have asks for more. We will be back. Thank you.

About the host

Hosted by Nick & Amy Schaefer

Host profile image
The Ledges Resort & Marina started with my grandparents Nicholas J Schaefer and his wife Amy. They purchased the property in 1961 and made it their home. In 1963 they built a motel and named it The Ledges. They also opened a German restaurant on the property named The Old World Inn. They closed the restaurant 1982, but continued with the motel. In later years the motel was managed by my parents, Jerome and Deborah Schaefer. They expanded into the marina and cottage rental business. In 2013 after 50 years in business we made a decision as a family to close the business and tear down the motel.

In 2014 my wife and I purchased the property from my parents. We remodeled the old buildings and built brand new cottages from the ground up. We re-opened to guests in the spring of 2015. I was named after my grandfather, Nicholas, and it just so happens that my wife’s name is Amy. So, once again Nick & Amy are your hosts at the Ledges!

Why they chose this property

We are in the heart of the 1000 Islands!
