About this property

Island Boathouse w/boatslip

Charming 125+ year old boathouse apartment on Cherry Island which is the closest island from Alexandria Bay going toward the 1000 Island Bridge. This 3 bedroom apartment sleeps 6-8 and includes a covered slip for your use. You will also be able to use a portion of Cherry Island for spreading out. The boathouse is fully equipt with games and water and lawn toys. We have kayaks and row boats and canoes and some kids fishing stuff. There are rafts and tubes to use in the water.

THIS IS ON AN ISLAND AND A BOAT IS NEEDED _ Bring your own boat or we can give you recommendations on a few excellent boat rental companies.

About the host

Hosted by Philip Amsterdam

Host profile image
Casablanca has been in our family for almost 60 years. The third generation is starting to use the island and learning to love The River. There is nothing like island life to learn to appreciate the surroundings.

In renting the boathouse and occasionally the main house, Casablanca it allows us to off set some of the cost and stay here too. In the short time we have been renting we have met many wonderful people and families that we now call friends and many that make their family memories by coming back to Cherry Island each summer.

Why they chose this property

You can stay on the mainland anytime, come stay on an island and enjoy the river as the locals do, hear the fish jumping and geese landing in the water. Great sleeping on Cherry Island.


We know that you can stay anywhere, we appreciate our guests because they make it possible for us to to be here too.

What makes this property unique

It is a 125 building and if we are available we would like you to come up and tour the main house while you are here. We have plenty of parking on shore for cars and boat trailers. We have been here 60 years and can point you in the right direction no matter what you want to do on your vacation.
