"Great Stay Up From A-Bay"

Nice cottage literally right on the water! Beautiful views, ships passing by, all kinds of wildlife to visit with you and an owner who really cares about her renters and is just a phone call away. You'll love the solitude and have one of the most relaxing vacation you've ever had! Great stay!

Gorgeous view of St. Lawrence river with ships and wildlife passing by. Lovely new dock, kids enjoyed swimming each day, old folks sat in sun on riverfront porch, very nice. Not the biggest place in the world but certainly adequate for 5 of us.

Quiet and Peaceful

Pam was a great host and was available when needed. Cottage was supplied with kitchen supplies, linens, and anything else we needed. If you're looking for a quiet place to stay, this is the place. The only traffic you'll hear is a boat passing by, my kind of traffic! Beautiful sunsets and a great view of freighters passing by.

A bit of Paradise

Pam's cottage is amazing. She goes that extra mile so that you can enjoy your stay to the fullest. The view of the St.Lawrence is spectacular both morning and night. We sat out at the bonfire and watch the fireworks across the river in Canada. A very relaxing, guiet and just all around wonderful. Thank you, Pam.

Awesome river views!

We were looking for a quiet getaway and we sure found it! Prenell Place was exactly as described. We found everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Very private, quiet enjoyment of the river and it's inhabitants! Pam was very responsive and quickly reacted to a small problem with the grill gas. Even though our weather was a bit cool and rainy we were comfy and relaxed. The Remington Museum in Ogdensburg was amazing and we enjoyed the shops in Clayton and Alexandria Bay. We hope to return!

Lovely river view!

The cottage is very cozy. We stayed with our daughter and her family, and the six of us (four adults and two kids) were very comfortable. It is well equipped with everything you need. Pam has added so many extras both inside and out - it feels more like home than a rental! She is gracious, thorough and accommodating. We had bad weather, but there are so many places to visit and things to do, we still had a wonderful time. And sitting in the rockers watching the river is enjoyable no matter the weather!

TERRIFIC find! Nice new dock, great fishing, sunset deck, and firepit. Books up early.

We stayed here 1st week of Sept and have already rebooked for next year. Pam is a conscientious owner, lives nearby, and sincerely wants her guests to have a good time. The new dock is an excellent add, and the 12' rowboat took to my strong trolling motor very well. This allowed me to go out onto the river just fine (the current isn't that bad really) where smallmouth bass fishing was the best! I highly recommend Prenell Place cottage, and only suggest you reserve early since the summer gets repeat booked early (as you'll see if you look at 2024).

Beautiful cottage with gorgeous views of the river

My family and I just arrived back home from staying 4 glorious nights at this cottage. The place was spotless and equipped with everything you could need. We loved sitting in the living room and watching the big ships go by from every window ( my favorite was one of the rocking chairs. ) There wasPlenty of wild life to watch such as hummingbirds minks and chimpmonkks The brand new dock was wonderful for tying up the boat and sunbathing and watching the sunrise and set. We are already talking about wanting to go back! Thank you for letting us stay at your beautiful home Cheryl

Your own slice of the riverfront

Felt like a cozy family cottage retreat. Beautiful deck and firepit views of the river, smart tv and wi-fi, what else do you need? The driveway down to the cabin isn't that bad after the first time you go down! Pam was great to communicate with as on the second night of our rental, bad storms came through, lightning struck a tree about 25 feet from the cabin and knocked out the water pump and router. She had people on site the morning after it happened and went above and beyond to ensure the stay was great.

Fantastic cottage on the St Lawrence

We don't have enough words to express how beautiful the view is from the large living room window. We watched ships go by day and night. The amenities were more than we needed. It was just excellent. The home has a Sea Life theme which we really appreciated. We actually had a little rain here and there throughout our week but found things to do inside and out rain or shine. Great job on the deck Pam! That was a huge bonus being able to sit on the dock and watch the river life. Or family wants to come back again for sure. Being able to relax in such a beautiful place was truly the vacation we needed. All thumbs up for this place!!

About the host

Hosted by Pam Nelson

Host profile image
I am a newly-retired teacher having spent 33 years in the field of education. I taught both special education and elementary education. I consider myself blessed to live in such a spectacular area, and look forward to all the activities available locally in my retirement. I live here year-round, only 20 minutes from where the cottage is located. My partner, Greg, is still working. He's a man of many talents, and he and his 3 children have made Prenell Place a part of their family traditions.

Why they chose this property

A neighbor and friend is a realtor. She shared the cottage on her Facebook page, and the rest is history! My partner, Greg, and I went to visit in July of 2018 and immediately saw its potential and fell in love with it. I continue to pinch myself that this spectacular property is ours!!! There have been many upgrades done through the fall and spring, including a new roof, new siding and skirting, new sidewalk, landscaping, and the extra-special discovery of hardwood floors underneath 40+ year old linoleum!

What makes this property unique

Residing only 20 minutes away provides our guests with the privacy of their own, personal space if they want, or we're only a short distance away if they need us. I hope our guests will be able to relax and enjoy the cottage as we more so! When we're there, we're constantly finding things with which to 'putter.' But--Prenell Place is the only place you'll actually catch us sitting down for extended periods of time! How can you not, with the incredible views and peace?
