This is a unique opportunity to stay at My Reverie, less than 12 families a year get the chance to stay!

My Reverie is located on the southeast tip of Grindstone Island, outside Clayton in the Thousand Islands, on the St. Lawrence River Seaway. It is ONLY ACCESSIBLE BY BOAT. It is on the calm, leeward side of the island. This three-bedroom, one-bath cottage is secluded and private, with a high/low water dock that can hold boats up to 30 feet. It has two-level decking and plenty of patio space for outdoor seating. A retreat fully equipped with WiFI, and a stocked kitchen including a dishwasher, a full bath, a washer/dryer, and smart TVs. We have plenty of water toys for you to enjoy, and you can jump right off the dock into the river! We are big kid and pet-friendly, centrally located, with a view of Picnic Point and Eel Bay from the property. There are walking trails behind the cabin that leads to all access points on the island. A walk to Grindstone Winery is a leisurely 45 min walk (you may schedule a pickup nearby) or a 1-hour stumble back.

You are solely responsible to and from the island. We can recommend different boat rentals, liveries and the best access points for you to launch your boat.

Great week at Grindstone Island

My wife and I had a very enjoyable stay at "My Reverie". The cottage is well stocked, very clean and just as described on the website. The waterfront is beautiful with crystal clear water for swimming and the location is very private and quiet; perfect for relaxing. There are also various trails and dirt roads for biking/running/exploring the island and, of course, there is the Grindstone Island Winery to visit. The communication from Brooke was prompt and professional as well. All in all, this is a great vacation rental and hopefully we will be able to make a return trip next year.

Fabulous property for a small group and dogs

I booked My Reverie based on its location on Grindstone and the fact that they accepted dogs. Brooke was great with communication ahead of time, including getting us into the property ahead of schedule on Sunday which was great. The property is exactly as advertised. It is not large, but is perfect for a small family such as ours. The kitchen is extremely well-stocked, and the location, dock, trails, etc. can't be beat. Lots of privacy for the dogs to run around without bothering anyone. We hiked daily and went to dinner in Clayton several times (takes only about 10 minutes via boat). We tooled around the islands, visited my cousin on Comfort (our former family home island), and just generally had a great, relaxing week. Don't forget to take the walk to the winery! My only suggestion would be to make the booking Saturday-Saturday. Clayton Marina requires that boats be picked up on Saturday, which required us to come up two days early and camp at Wellesley Island SP. School started on Monday so we had to rush home a bit. It was a minor inconvenience. Thanks for a wonderful time, Brooke!

Fun Family Getaway!

House was clean comfortable and well-stocked with all the necessities and extras. Brooke was very helpful, responsive and easy to communicate with. The location is ideal - a secluded island getaway! Lots of hiking trails around the island for exercise and dog walking. We really enjoyed the family of loons that nests nearby, their calls in the evening made for a special "wilderness feel." Lots to do in the area. We spent a day in Clayton at the antique boat museum, visited Boldt castle, went white water rafting with ARO on the black river, and did lots of water skiing. Conditions for skiing are very good around the house with calm water all around the point. Overall it was a wonderful family experience and i highly recommend it!

Why they chose this property

It's EVERYTHING we were looking for when we decided to buy in the 1000 Islands! It's private, and easily accessible, with a deep water dock that you can jump off of! It's close to everything while being just removed enough from the vacationing visitors! Being on a leeward side of an island protects us from heavy winds, our bay is calm, and you can see Picinic Point off in the distance.
