What a beautiful family home/camp. We appreciated the easy access to the River… the spaciousness of the house…how clean and organized it was… everything you could want or need is provided by the host! We made so many wonderful memories! This was a family trip (3 generations) which we will forever cherish! We would love to return next year.

What a wonderful vintage St. Lawrence River summer house ! The setting was magnificent, the dock very easy to tie up to, the rooms were spacious and the kitchen was generously equipped. My husband and I, our adult kids and teenage grandkids all loved it. We hope to return next year.

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

So many Pros: Great location! Loved the area. First time my dog could easily access the river from all the previous places we stayed. First time I’ve ever seen the Milky Way & it was so beautiful. Amazing porch with view of the river. We even took naps on the outside bed. Bring your own folding chairs as there is a great dock to sit on & watch the sun rise. Very relaxing!

Family vacation

It is a nice old island house. It is rustic but well equiped. As many old Island homes, it is dark wood interior that is cool but very dark. The location is great and convienent to TI Club and Alex Bay. The furniture is older and in in rough shape, especially the chairs. It didn't affect our stay as everyone really enjoyed the place.

Thank you for your comments. Yes, we are planning to replace some of the furniture in time for the 2026 season. We have added lights to help brighten some of the rooms, and I will look at adding more.

Great time

Accommodations are as advertised. Old classic lake house furnished with classic furniture from the era that it was built. Very retro but still comfortable. Large screened porch was our favorite. Awesome views.

We held a family get-together at the River House spanning three generations. The host was excellent to work with! He answered questions promptly prior to us booking and throughout our stay. The house was centrally located so you could take advantage of many activities outside the property if desired. There is a gas station/market just down the road on Wellsley Island if you needed any common items. A full supermarket is 10 minutes away. We really enjoyed the large, screened in front porch that featured beautiful sunrises above the river, several islands and Bolt Castle, which is where we spent most of our time along with meals around the large kitchen and dining room tables.The home does accommodate 13 guests, but has just 2 full bathrooms, so you need to plan your showers which was not a problem for us.The home has a lot of charm and antiques throughout. Cozy best describes it. But with any older home, some aspects of it will not be perfect such as the windows which could use replacement. But there was no issue with lack of breeze as we could open most of them and enjoy the cool evening air.The kitchen was well equipped with many thoughtful touches that made it feel like home. We cooked most meals there and made use of the outdoor grill and we were never lacking for equipment.Fishing off the dock was a highlight for our 7-year-old who caught 40 panfish!The views from the home were priceless. We would recommend this rental to others and we hope to return!

Family vacation

The property provided easy access to the river for boating, kayaking, and fishing. Sitting in the large screened in porch, you could enjoy the majestic view of the river, little islands and Boldt Castle. It was dog friendly so we were able to bring the family pets. The owner was very responsive to our needs and responded quickly to our communications.

We absolutely loved our stay!!! The location of this house is absolutely perfect. The kids were able to play in the water all day due to the sheltered area in the bay yet we could still see bolt castle and the ships going by. There are so many other spots on the river that the water is too rough but this was perfect!! Dock was big enough for a boat, two jet skis and a raft all week! The owner was great. Can’t say enough good things!!

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!

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

Perfect getaway

The house and property were great! Location was perfect. Spent mornings watching sunrise and activity on the river, boating in the afternoons and then either a short drive to the bay for dinner or we all gathered around the table and just enjoyed our time together. The house was idyllic and the owner quick to respond. 5 stars, Would definitely recommend for a large group.

Family get-away

This home is clean, spacious, in a park-like setting with a very large screened-in, wrap-around porch and plenty of parking. It comes with an average sized dock, with easy in/out access for your boat. The kitchen is workable but a bit small. Plenty of bedroom options. Most of your time will be spent on the porch if the weather allows. One challenge is no steps down to the dock, just a few well-beaten foot paths. We would recommend this home for your next family reunion:)

Location is perfect — room for everyone

This property has a perfect location!! The screened porch is magnificent—spent quite some time there watching the water Kitchen is well stocked. Although this is an older home and needs a little work in some places—it was perfect for us and Randy couldn’t have been more accommodating. Thank you for allowing us to stay the week during this pandemic. It was just what we all needed!! Stay well everyone!😀

Wonderful place for large groups and families

What a lovely location-with views of Boldt Castle and its Boat House. The house is vast and spacious, with plenty of bedrooms for all. The massive dining table easily fit our group of 11. My favorite part is the screened porch, where the cool breezes and lack of bugs gave us a wonderful place to spend our evenings. We even slept in the bed on this porch a few nights. The kitchen is well-stocked and there is a good grill and oven. Plenty of room to spread out as a group or gather. Surrounding area is great for walks, biking or jogging and the island has so much to offer. The owner is easily accessible as well. Highly recommended!

1000 Islands Fishing Trip 2020

We had an excellent time here. It was everything we needed. We were 6 adults and one 17 year old that came to fish the St. Lawrence for a week. Our annual guys fishing trip and my sons first trip. The house and the fishing were both excellent. We will definitely stay here again, so much history in the area as well. Just a great time at a great place.

Wellesley Island

Setting was lovely. House big and roomy. While it was neat the baseboards and windows were filthy. Every corner and baseboard covered with dirt. The kitchen counters, sinks and showers were clean. We loved the big screen porch with plenty of seating. The views were terrific. If we go again I would request a thorough cleaning first. My dealing with the owner was great. He was very accommodating.

Fantastic River House

This is a fantastic, spacious river house. The location is great -- near Boldt Castle and the Boathouse. If you are not all that familiar with the 1,000 islands you don't have to worry about getting lost. Just find the castle and you can see your vacation home. The home itself is wonderful -- tall ceilings, a cook's kitchen, large bedrooms, and an oversized dining room table so your group can enjoy meals together. The owner (Randy) and local manager (Autumn) are accessible and 100% helpful. And for us, the highlight was spending evenings on the oversized screened in porch. The views, size, and comfort were amazing.
