Enter the cottage into a great room which is surrounded by windows and sliding doors giving a spectacular view of the St. Lawrence River. The kitchen recently renovated, has a full size refrigerator, conventional oven and an island all facing the open living and dining areas. A beautiful stone fireplace with a gas insert will add to the ambiance and keep it warm on cool nights. There is a large Smart TV in front of two comfortable leather couches. The cottage has 2 bedrooms on the main floor with an adorable loft above. The Master bedroom has it own 1/2 bath, Smart TV and a queen size bed that is facing the River. The cozy second bedroom has two twin beds. The loft features a pull down ladder for easy access to a charming area that easily sleeps two. The new washer / dryer are conveniently located in their own laundry room. Wake up to the sunrise while sitting on the spacious deck that feels like it is on top of the water. Enjoy the international ships that pass so close you feel like you could touch them.

The cottage is perfect. Everything you need, great location, lots of outdoor seating areas and beautiful River views. Book it before it's gone, it is perfect.
Everything was amazing. Definitely a 10/10!! House was clean, amenities were as advertised and the property is so close to the water. It was a perfect trip!!

Thank you Laura, thank you for choosing our cottage.
We had a fantastic stay at the cottage in the Thousand Islands. The property was exactly as advertised—clean, comfortable, and incredibly relaxing. The serene surroundings and well-maintained amenities made it the perfect getaway. Highly recommend for anyone looking to unwind in a beautiful setting!
Our stay was so restful. We loved watching the boats from the deck and also the yard. The property is right on the water and it was clean enough to swim. Refreshing!!! Our hosts checked on us to make sure everything was satisfactory. It far exceeded our expectations.
Fantastic location with many spots for relaxing! Our hosts have done a great job with their property, and included many thoughtful extras upon arrival. In the forty years we’ve traveled to the area, this was our favorite!

Thank you! We are so happy you enjoyed yourselves and we are looking forward to seeing you again next summer! 😊
My family and I had a wonderful, relaxing week at the property. Loved sitting on the deck and watching the ships go by. Lots of amenities as well as a bridge pass which came in handy for the short drive to Clayton and Alexandria Bay.

Thank you for staying at the cottage. We love to know that you and your family had a wonderful and relaxing week. We hope to see you again.
Our stay was everything we hoped it to be. Visited family, watched ships, enjoyed the waterfront deck view, nice tvs, nicely stocked kitchen, very quiet and wonderful hosts. Super nice that a bridge pass was included. The tokens of appreciation left by host were super thoughtful. We had a wonderful time! Thank you so much for sharing your home with us.

Thank you Zack! We look forward to seeing you again next year.
This is an excellent property! Clean and so modern inside! It had every amenity we could have wanted and more. Watching the BIG ships go by was our goal and this house was perfect! I've been visiting the St. Lawrence River for over 40 years and I highly recommend this beautiful cabin in the Narrows!
This is a lovely well-appointed property whose photographs are very accurate. The hosts are very responsive and clearly had their guests in mind in furnishing the property. It is a fantastic location, very relaxing. We would definitely consider renting this property again. Scott P.

Thank you. We are so happy you enjoyed your stay. Susan
We came for the view and it was shiptastic. Mesmerizing view we could sit there all day oh wait we did. Watched fireworks and ships from the bedroom. Had moonshine slushies at the Clayton Distillery. Where you get a brain freeze an a hangover all in one shot. Host was so nice and accommodating.

Thank you Kim. We are very happy you enjoyed the cottage.
It was the first time visiting the 1000 Islands and we are already itching to come back to see more. We especially enjoyed our time at the cottage. it was hard to decide between enjoying the zen living space inside and the peaceful outdoors with the ships and fire. Could not have imagined a better stay and host. Superior hospitality!

Thank you for staying with us again. Is always a pleasure to see you. We always try to make improvements so your time at the cottage is the best possible.
A perfect setting for a cozy cottage! Scenery second to none!
Our host greeted us and made certain we weren’t lost! Waze had the location a few houses away. The property itself is spectacular and literally felt like you could touch the ships passing by. Thanks so much and we look forward to a return trip!!
We arrived to a clean and inviting home. Carlos and Susan decorated the place perfectly and left goodies such as a bottle of wine and cheese to enjoy. The views were spectacular. This vacation spot can be a calm getaway away from the hustle and bustle or busy with little day trips. Carlos checked on us and was extremely accommodating. We will book again.
There is a sense of calm as soon as you walk in the door. Sit on the deck that has a very wide view of the river! Watch the ships as they glide passed you so close and quietly. This was my 3rd visit & can't say enough about the property or Susan and Carlos!!
Beautiful location on the river to see ships and relax, close proximity to Wellsley island park for a sandy beach or swim right from the deck at the house, quiet location with neighbors at quiet a distance so no one bothers you, quiet road for bike rides and walking the dog, just a perfect place!
