The house was very well maintained and in a wonderful location. The yard was greatfor sitting out with the dogs & reading a book. We liked the fact it was only 10 minutesto walk to restaurants, shops & the Harbor. We think Kurt thought of everything to put in the house to make us feel at home.

We had a great experience in this Vrbo. The host was always available & very helpful whenever we had questions. It was clean, the kitchen was well stocked & the beds were very comfortable. It was a nice touch having a dart board in the dining room too. The host left suggestions for local places to eat & they were all great but 1 place was soooo good that I had to compliment the owner. Overall, I would highly recommend this rental.

We had a wonderful stay at this charming home in Alexandria Bay! The house is full of character, spotlessly clean, and thoughtfully stocked with everything we needed, including games for relaxing evenings. The location couldn't be better—it's in the heart of town, just a short walk to shops, restaurants, and attractions, with a convenient mom-and-pop grocery store right next door.Our favorite spots were the inviting front porch, perfect for relaxing and people-watching, and the peaceful backyard with its cozy fire pit. The quiet neighborhood made it easy to unwind after a day of exploring. The owner was friendly, communicative, and made sure we had everything we needed. If you're looking for a comfortable, unique, and relaxing place to stay in Alexandria Bay, this home is an excellent choice.

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.

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!

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.

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

Response from VrboOwner on 24 Jul, 2025
I am very grateful for your stay. I am sorry for your uncomfortable bed and stairs. The queen bed is not a soft mattress. There are a few other beds you could have selected. As for the stairs, they are the original stairs. This is an older house which was more common for slightly smaller stairs for space considerations. I apologize, I was unaware of your disibility. Had I known, I could have made that bed more firm and informed you better of the stairs. Best Regards
