A wonderful vacation home.

My family & I had such a great time staying at this charming home. We decided to extend our stay an extra day. This home has so much character. It is the perfect home for families or couples. The backyard and the front porch was the highlight of our stay. The backyard has a great fire pit which we loved. They had cornhole, lots of chairs, benches & tables with umbrella stands. The outside bar was a nice touch. You instantly feel like you are on vacation. We loved that we were walking distance to the shops, restaurants & bars. We highly recommend taking the twilight cruise. Uncle Sam Boat tours did a great job. We are definitely staying here again!

The location of the house was perfect for our vacation. We were very thankful for the a/c units as we stayed during a very hot summer day.The hard part was the steep stairs and the too soft queen bed. Both were the reason we cut our vacation a day short. However, these two factors are probably not a concern for most people. But due to my disability they were a big problem for me.Sincerely,Lou Anne

Perfect in ABay!

We wanted to come to the River to relax and enjoy - this stay was perfect, well appointed, exceptionally clean. Wish we could have stayed longer to use the fire pit and games! Perfect for the dog as a totally contained yard and picket fence front porch. Perfect for breakfast tea and watching the view. Also next door to a very active and well appointed town market. We will book again next summer. Thanks!

Family Wedding

We had a great long weekend with our extended family wedding. This location was perfect. Just two blocks to the church and then across the parking lot to catch the boat that brought us to the TIC for the reception. The yard for this home was great to sit and relax or play a few games of corn hole. The front porch was perfect also especially if you enjoy people watching. The inside had all the essentials and more. Very easy walk to the main strip for some shopping and dinner.

Place was in walking distance to town...nice backyard for pup to play. Owner very friendly...the small touches like a welcoming list card, the little jars for souvenir were a nice touch that impressed my mother-in-law. Husband enjoyed the fact that he could sit at desk in evenings w his laptop going thru photos he took during the day. Plenty of games to keep busy in evening. Truly felt welcome in the home.

Great Place with Great Location

We stayed here for my husbands birthday with our dogs and the house is in a great location. Walking distance to the boat tours as well as shopping and food areas in A Bay. Kurt is super responsive and wants to ensure you have everything you need to enjoy the weekend. There are tons of games, dartboards, and outdoor games in the house! The yard is also fenced in which makes it perfect for those who have furbabies! The one thing to note is that the house is older so if you are taller than 6 foot you will have to duck through many of the doorways and up the stairs. We will definitely be staying here again!

Clean and Close To Everything

Great clean property with an amazing backyard and plenty of games, darts, etc. Kurt is very accommodating and reachable. The only odd thing about this house is how low the ceilings are in spots. I am 6’1 and had to duck going down the stairs and nearly had to duck going from the dining to living room. Stairs are also pretty steep, but Kurt did a great job of marking out the low spots and putting grips on the stairs. Definitely a 5 star experience. Don’t hesitate to rent this place.

Excellent Relaxing Vacation !

Our stay this wonderful house was very relaxing and worth the trip. The house was very clean and functional. Front and back landscaping were immaculate. Very nice and well kept yard. Todd was very gracious to assist us in getting to know the property as well as the town. As dog owners, the enclosed yard worked out perfectly for us. The beds were comfortable as well as the living room furniture. Our evenings on the front porch sipping a glass of wine were priceless. The appliances and the outdoor BBQ worked well. Everything is walking distance to convenience stores, gift shops and restaurants. A five minute walk to downtown Alexandra Bay made it worthwhile. Thanks Todd! Definitely we will be coming back!

Nice stay in Abay

My wife and I rented Kurt’s place for 10 days in mid-July. We found the house to be clean and amply equipped. Kurt is a very conscientious host, checking on our needs periodically but without being intrusive. He has done a great job in decorating the house to provide that “vacation” feel. Just a lot of interesting touches. The back yard is great for gatherings with an abundance of bench seating, horseshoes, corn hole, etc. although we did not have occasion to utilize those resources. The back yard is fenced and worked great for our pets as they could spend time outside with us when at the property. The house is short walk away from downtown Alex Bay, public docks, etc. There is also a great little neighborhood market all but next door, which was very handy for picking up things on the spur of the moment. Their steaks were very good as were their breakfast sandwiches. The store had a steady stream of patrons at all hours of the day. We met a neighbor from across the street whom was a very nice fellow. Overall, we had a very nice stay at Kurt’s property and hope to return in the future.

About the host

Host profile image
Kurt (me) and Robin in the photo are enjoying the 2019 New Year in the photo. I was born and raised on Long Island and have been visiting the 1000 Islands since 1969 with my family. I am a retired teacher. Robin was born and raised in the Saranac Lake area. She is a teacher. Since we can not be in the 1000 Islands as much as we enjoy, we have decided to make it available for others to enjoy. We both work hard to make this a comfortable place for you.

It would be nice to see you up here!!
