We loved our stay here. We came up to visit our son at Fort Drum and the cabin was perfect for our stay. Very clean, quiet, and beautiful scenery while still being close enough to town and base. Highly recommend!

Thank you so much, Scott, for your kind review! We’re thrilled to hear you loved your stay. It’s wonderful to know you enjoyed the peaceful setting and scenic views while still having easy access to town and the base. We truly appreciate your recommendation and would love to host you again anytime!
We had a wonderful stay at Jane’s house. It had everything we needed and was probably the cleanest house we’ve ever rented. Located in a very quiet neighborhood just outside of Sackets Harbor (which turned out to be a lovely place with great opportunities for walking), it was a great location near Lake Ontario, the St. Lawrence, and the things we wanted to do. Jane was a most gracious and responsive host, again the best we’ve ever had.
This was a very clean and cozy home. Jane was available to answer any questions or concerns. She left us a yummy bottle of wine from a local winery. We will stay again when back in the area.
We loved the wrap around deck and beautiful view of the marsh. We saw an owl and many other kinds of birds. We will definitely come back.

My husband and I were in town with another couple for a friend's wedding and stayed at this lovely little cottage on the water. It was perfect for our weekend visit and the owner was excellent with communication. The home was clean and well stocked and we loved the beautiful nature setting and the outdoor amenities. Highly recommend if you are looking for somewhere near Sackets Harbor.

Thank you for your recommendation, Lisa. I appreciate your positive feedback. I'm looking forward to hosing you guys soon.
Great location for relaxing, fishing, or enjoying local attractions. Close to village of Sackets Harbor and just 45 minutes from Alexandria Bay. Jane is very responsive and made everything easy. WiFi signal is strong and there is a nice desk area set up for working or surfing the web. Beds were very comfortable and the entire property very clean and well kept. Will definitely stay again if we have a chance.
This property was absolutely lovely, and Jane, the host, was very helpful, responsive, and welcoming! My 3 year old son LOVED the loft bedroom and his face lit up whenever we entered the home. The yard was lovely and our dog enjoyed lounging in the back yard in the shade. Thank you so much for a wonderful experience!

Hello Louise
I'm delighted to learn that you and your family enjoyed your stay at the property. Hosting you was a pleasure, and I'm thrilled your son adored the loft bedroom. Additionally, I'm pleased to hear that your furry friend savored the backyard.
I appreciate your kindly worded feedback and for taking the time to share your experience. It deeply matters to me. Please feel free to contact me if you ever need accommodation in the future.
Best,
Jane
We enjoyed our stay in this beautiful home. The master bed and bath on the ground floor was great. We had a 94 year old and another person with mobility issues. The house was perfect for them. The view was fabulous and great for bird watching. The house is within easy access to Sackets Harbor.
We planned a last minute visit to our daughter station at Ft Drum! Everything about THIS location was perfect! The house was immaculate, well appointed with everything you need. Beautiful view, close to everything with a perfect balance of peace and privacy. Jane was a gracious host - very accommodating. We will definitely stay again.
We truly enjoyed our stay in Sackets! The house was clean, spacious and very comfortable. The neighborhood is quiet and safe. Beautiful view and a nice deck to relax on. Our dogs enjoyed watching the little critters run by.
In a great location between Sackets and Dexter. Kayaking, fishing, and lots of history to explore.
Jane is a very responsive host.
We would highly recommend it and will hopefully be back in the future!

We look forward to welcoming you back in the future, and we hope to see you again soon!

Check in was fine, easy. Kitchen was lacking in some basics - example only one bowl, no wine glasses. Biggest issue was the master bath, very damp so towels never felt dry. Bed was uncomfortable downstairs as well. Was annoying that couldn’t control temperature yourself.Positives were the location was good, setting was beautiful and the upstairs was great for kids.

Hi Lori,
Thank you for your feedback. We appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts, and we’d like to address the issues you encountered during your stay.
We apologize that you didn’t find the wine glasses and extra bowls—they are located in the upper cabinet alongside the coffee cups for your convenience.
Regarding the humidity, we typically enjoy a pleasant and cool summer, but there was an unexpected heat spell during your visit, which is why it may have felt more damp than usual.
As for the downstairs bed, we have tested it ourselves and found it to be quite comfortable. It’s important to note that we haven’t received similar feedback from other guests, who have expressed satisfaction with their comfort.
Most importantly, we want to clarify that adjusting the thermostat to your preferred temperature is entirely within your control. If you experienced any issues with the thermostat being unresponsive, it’s likely a temporary glitch. It’s crucial for us to know your ideal temperature so we can address any issues promptly. Remember, you’re always welcome to adjust the settings, and we are just a phone call or message away to assist you.
We’re thrilled to hear you loved the location and that the upstairs space worked well for your kids. We look forward to the opportunity to host you again in the future!
This adorable home had absolutely everything you can dream of. It was incredibly clean and well appointed down to Keurig pods with little International delight creamer packets. It’s very private with big trees all around. You really feel like you’re in the middle of nowhere but not far from town. We had some of the best dinners only a short 3 mile drive from the house. There was an Italian restaurant that was incredible and the coffee shop is out of this world. We weren’t there to fish, but I imagine it is a perfect spot if you’re looking for a getaway to go fishing with your family. The owner obviously takes great pride in her home and she’s easy to work with. We loved our getaway and Sackets Harbor and hope to return. Thanks for a great vacation!
Unfortunately I I wasn’t able to go and enjoy the property - but Jane was always in touch and seemed to be a very prepared and quality owner. I would rent again, only next time I’ll stay 😂

About the host
Hosted by Jane
Hi there, My name is Jane, and I had the pleasure of going to school in Flushing, NY. Right now, I'm living with my husband and two wonderful boys in Sackets Harbor, NY. We've all fallen in love with this charming and historically rich village. It's a joy to call this place home!
Why they chose this property
Sackets Harbor, NY, is my favorite village, and I want to share this beautiful place with more people. In the summer of 2022, we bought this house nearby. We loved it the first time we saw it, and if you come and visit, you'll love it too. My words about the house can't compare to your experience there.
What makes this property unique
This home is a beautiful all-season getaway. You can see different types of wildlife year-round. Our home offers a scenic waterside view on a wildlife reserve just 7 minutes away from Downtown Sackets Harbor. Waterfront dining, local shops, historical sites, and boat docks for small to large watercraft are available in the area. Throughout the seasons, there are festivals and other entertainment options. The view here is amazing in all seasons and it's a great place for fishing too. You can enjoy on-site fishing in the Spring and also try ice fishing.
