About this property

Gorgeous 6 BR House on the Water

This gorgeous six bedroom cottage is in Westminster Park on Wellesley Island in the Thousand Islands. As one of the larger islands, Wellesley Island is accessible by car.

The house is on one acre, has six bedrooms, two full bathrooms, two large living rooms and an enormous (about 50 feet long) beautiful screened-in porch, which also wraps around the side of the house. The house overlooks the water and is across from Boldt Castle (see photo). There is a small beach in front of the house, a boat house, and dock. The property is in a bay and therefore is great for swimming, fishing, and boating. Alexandria Bay is on the other side of Boldt Castle and an easy trip (five to ten minutes by boat or 15-20 minutes by car).

The kitchen and one bathroom have been significantly upgraded recently. The entire house has also been rewired for safety and convenience.

The house has six bedrooms: One bedroom has a queen, one has a full, one has a king (which could be divided into two singles), two bedrooms each have two single beds in them; and one bedroom has three single beds. Around the corner on the 50-foot long porch is another full sized bed.

The house is also about one mile from the TI Country Club, a beautiful club with 36 holes of great golf, a restaurant, a pool, tennis courts and a reputation for 1000 Islands hospitality that goes back over a hundred years.

Please note that our local manager can provide linens (sheets and bath towels) for a cost of $225. If you are interested, let me know after booking. You will pay her directly for this service.

Fishing trip
Had a great stay. The place is like stepping back to 1950 except with modern appliance. Well kept, great view.

Great house, great time!
The house was perfect for our group. There were 13 of us and we had a great time being together. The house is also big enough that you just didn't feel like you were on top of each other. The porch and the dock were the best spots for early morning and late night tranquility. Location is perfect, just a short drive or a quick boat ride to A Bay. Would highly recommend!

Great Vacation
This property is exactly what is expected for a 1000 island vacation. The older home feel but with everything you need on a perfect property right on the river. The home owner is very nice and easy to work with. This was our 2nd time at this property and we will be back

Beautiful Perfect Rental Experience
I can't put into words what a pleasure it was to stay in this classic St. Lawrence home. Staying here felt like going back in time. The screened in front porch was a gem, there was ample boat docking, plenty of parking, wonderful owners, nice neighbors, beautiful river/castle/shipping lane views, just a few minute boat ride to the Alexandria Bay public dock. The only advice I would give to future renters is to bring enough clothes for the week as the washer and dryer are for emergency use only.

Summer Vacation at its Best
The property is located with a fantastic view of the Bolt Castle and waterways. Day or night it is very relaxing and enjoyable to watch the activities. The distant sounds of the evening dinner cruise boats and horns of large freighters really left our family with a very fond feeling. We will be back next year if there is an opening

About the host

Hosted by Randy Neppl

Host profile image
My grandparents bought this house 49 years ago. As a child, my cousins and I lived here all summer. During the days, we caught fish, frogs, snakes, and insects. We made forts in the woods and skied in our bay and beyond. We swam and boated daily. In the cool months, we sat by the fire roasting marshmallows as one Aunt played her guitar. We went to the movies in the tabernacle at TI Park, visited the local library and spent hours laughing on our extra large screened in porch overlooking the River and Boldt Castle. When I "grew up", I lived in Washington, D.C. and couldn't spend significant time there. So for about 10 years, I served on the Board of Save The River, which kept me connected to the River throughout the year.

When my grandparents died, the house was left to my father and his siblings. A few years later, my husband and I also became partial owners, and I have since managed it for our extended family. We are lucky to enjoy it with our children, nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, cousins, and second cousins a couple weeks each year now. This is my favorite place on earth – and we are happy to share it with you.
