Great property for off grid holiday. Hosts are great and the property is a cross between hobby farm and water front. It has everything you need. Bring all your food and water with you and relax onsite

Eclipse on an island

We had a great stay here to watch the eclipse. The property is peaceful, the hosts are great, and the stars are beautiful at night. 10/10 would stay again.

We had a wonderful time staying here. The setting is serene and there are many opportunities for activities but also to relax. The house was clean with great features and had everything we could ask for. We enjoyed connecting with nature and will miss our mornings with Ceecee, the house cat, and with the “Chief” and his chicken entourage.Courtney was a great host and she made us feel welcomed from the start. She was also super responsive and helpful with any kind of inquiries. We had a great time and would not hesitate to go back there anytime! Thank you for a great vacation!

Idyllic location

We had a wonderful visit to Howe Island. The hosts were friendly and responsive. They were very generous with their time and ensured that everyone had an enjoyable stay. We enjoyed kayaking, fishing, swimming, nightly fires, peaceful sunsets, and sightseeing off of the island. Definitely a great place to spend your vacation!!

A Home away from Home w/ warm family

We were greeted by their two lovely boys with the Cabin owner right behind them, while she was in middle of baking their family dinner pizza... we know we were at the right place for a pleasant and peaceful vacation. House is well maintained and the drive from main road to the property is to cherish far. We wish we had a longer stay.

Perfect Getaway

Quaint little property filled with wonder and awe. We loved our stay in our well appointed to cottage waking up to the birds. Everything we needed to enjoy our week stay was available to us. The quick ferry ride was so convenient to access the various nearby activities recommended by the hosts. Quiet evenings were enjoyed watching the sunset by the water while nature entertained. Campfires are a must, smores, fireflies, stars and silence. The hosts were amazing, entertaining, reliable, accessible and felt like family.

Howe Island farmhouse

It was a house in a compound of houses/rental place that was owner occupied. There was a view of water between the buildings. We were greeted very graciously by our host who ran down the unique nature of the property. She reminded us to ask for what we needed which was very reassuring. All in all we had a very relaxing, restful time. Thank you Courtney and family.

Very nice place offgrid

We really enjoyed our stay. Communication was difficult at first until we got Courtney’s cell instead of her husband’s. All the amenities were there except for washer & dryer and ironing board & iron which would be great for longer stay. On hot day’s in bedrooms standing oscillating fans would be helpful. Also garbage and recycling instructions would be helpful also. Courtney and Chris great couple. Very quiet secluded location. Enjoyed our stay.

Awesome little getaway!

We had a wonderful time! Courtney & Chris were great to deal with! I texted her when we were on the ferry & she was waiting to meet us at our cottage. They were very welcoming & even invited us to join them for wood fired pizza which was absolutely delicious!! The place was very clean and cozy. It had the perfect amount of everything we might possibly have needed. It was central to the the excursions we wanted to experience - the 5 hour cruise & Boldt castle tour and Kingston Penitentiary tour - both were fabulous & highly recommended. Thank you Courtney & Chris! We couldn’t have enjoyed our stay more!

Get away from it all!

We went to Retreat on Howe Island to celebrate Canada Day 2017 on the St Lawrence River. We loved the peace and quiet and getting away from it all. Our hosts and their pets were friendly and we enjoyed using the bbq and the campfire pit that were included. That year there was terrible flooding but the cabin we rented was not affected. It is a short ferry ride to Ganonoque where we took a boat tour. If you go, ask if the set up is single or double beds and maybe bring hames, fishing gear and bug spray.

Awesome location for boat launching to explore the 1000 Islands

We were pleased with the boat ramp and dock with ample room for our boat trailer. This allowed us to easily access the St. Lawrence on our own boat, something that had been on our bucket list. Two couples stayed in the 2 bedroom 2 bathroom red house and we had lots of room We took our own Starlink for internet. We had no issues with it being off grid - there was plenty of power for all of our needs. Nights were cool enough we didn’t miss A/C Place was very clean inside. Dock space was awesome with heavenly waterfront views and sunsets. We will be back in the future

Wonderfully relaxing spot

We were boating in the thousand islands and looked for a 2-day stay by the water. This wonderful spot with docking space was perfect. Every little detail was attended to and the little cabin, set back from the water, but with wonderful views and sunset was perfectly appointed, nothing was missing. It isn't very often that you find a 2-bedroom with 2 bathrooms. Our hosts Courtney and Chris were very welcoming and invited us to a home made outdoor pizza making event. We made use of the new BBQ, the lower level veranda and the upper level deck. A relaxing stay by the water! Thank you! Andrée and Peter

Highly recommend!

We had a lovely and relaxing stay. We had booked the cottage at the back of the property which had stairs to the bedrooms. When we arrived and Courtney realized that my husband used a cane, she immediately offered for us to move to the cottage nearer the lake which had no stairs. The hosts and their children were very pleasant and checked to make sure we had everything we needed. The cottage was well appointed with everything you need. It was exceptionally clean. Beautiful views of the river and very peaceful. The wifi can be spotty as mentioned in their listing but we managed fine. Hope to go back another time.

Just as described except for the bonus kittens

Excellent hosts. The property is as described you are staying in off the grid compound. Just enough wifi to check in at home. Plenty of water to drink provided. This was a fantastic safe place and community to chill. Some beautiful kittens were born a few weeks ago and my daughter enjoyed being able to play with the kittens and mother. It was the bonus my tween needed.

Great stay at Hideout on Howe Island

We were looking for a cottage get away to decompress and relax. This was the perfect place. The cottage was quaint, clean and cozy with views for the lake from both our ground floor porch and the upper balcony. Chris and Courtney and their kids were very welcoming and friendly hosts. Really enjoyed the already build fire pits with firewood! Highly recommend staying here.

Lovely time in 1000 Islands

This was a lovely escape on Howe Island. The cottage had everything we needed to relax. The sunsets were beautiful on the lake, even when it was rainy one day. We took full advantage of the BBQ and enjoyed drinking our morning coffee on the second level deck. Even though set back from the lake (as the listing says) you're able to see the lake nicely from there and it was a great way to wake up. The property runs on solar, so when it was overcast power went out, but Counrtney was very quick to respond and make sure the generator was working well. Also, the boat ride Courtney and Chris offered was such a wonderful way to experience the area for the first time. Thanks for a lovely stay!

An amazing stay with the amazing hosts

We couldn't believe how beautiful this property is and our hosts went above and beyond. By far the most relaxing peaceful vacations in recent memory. If you need pampering and 5 star accommodations go to the hilton. But if you want to truely enjoy the thousand islands and be in charge of your own enjoyment with the help of a truely amazing family that runs Hideout at Howe island with hospitality as the focus, this is the place for you! Clean comfortable accommodations at a value impossible to beat. So leave your stress and troubles at home and decompress at one of the best kept secrets in the thousand islands.
