About this property

River Front Log Cabin Near 1000 Islands, Adirondacks, Canada

This log cabin is named Whispering Water because of the scenic water fall views of the Oswegatchie River from the living room, master bed room and deck.

Hardwood floors throughout. Large master bedroom with queen bed and picture windows facing the river. 2 small bedrooms, each with double bed. Air conditioning both levels.

The swimming pool and deck are perched at the river's edge. The porch overlooking the pool and river is screened for sitting out at night. A 2 person hot tub on the deck is available year round.

SELECT THE VIDEO TAB ABOVE THE PHOTO TO WATCH A 2-MINUTE YOUTUBE VIDEO SLIDESHOW AT WHISPERING WATER.

Explore the northcountry with day trips to the Adirondacks, 1000 Islands, Ottawa or Kingston Ontario. (If you plan to go to Canada, remember your passport or enhanced driver's license.)
Or just kick back with a good book and relax to the sounds of the river.

Lakes with public boat access are located in the area. We will provide a canoe and accessories for those would like to explore local lakes and rivers. Bring your fishing poles.

Amish farms and shops are numerous in Saint Lawrence County.

If you enjoy road biking, you can ride from the cabin on miles of rural country roads that are lightly traveled. We can guide you with routes from 2 to 40+ miles that wander thru the countryside.

In addition, 4 colleges are located nearby:
25 miles to Canton (Canton College, Saint Lawrence University)
35 miles to Potsdam (Potsdam College, Clarkson University)
Staying at Whispering Water is unique way for the family to be together during visits to the colleges for graduations or special events.

It is 20 miles to Fort Drum if you are considering a visit that doubles as a vacation for the family.

The property is offered for rent all four seasons. Fall colors are brilliant with many maples trees in view. During a winter retreat the pellet stove provides penetrating warmth. Winter is a wonderful time to relax and reflect.
The cabin gives a deep woods feel while being close to a small town.

A word of caution:
Since the property is surrounded on 3 sides by rapid water and steep rock ledges that drop to the water's edge, we do not encourage visitors staying at the cabin with very young children. Close supervision near the river and at the pool is a must.

Perfect 2024 Solar Eclipse Trip

Our stay at Whispering Waters for the 2024 Total Solar Eclipse was amazing! This cabin has it all, and then some. We picked the perfect place! First, Jeanice and Ted are truly warm and caring people. She contacted us a week before our arrival with concerns for us and the traffic issues we may run into on our way up. Additional arrangements were made, and we made the 8 hour trip ahead of all the traffic,issue free! Thank you Jeanice!! We arrived at 2AM and as soon as we opened the truck doors we could hear the water rushing over the rapids in the Oswegatchie river. Fell in love immediately! The stairs to the house were well lit, and when we entered the cabin there was a soft glow from the lights they had turned on or us, and the welcome heat from the pellet stove that had been lit before our arrival. My mother was especially tickled to find the "welcome to the cabin" bottle of wine on the dining room table, which she quickly claimed as hers. We were all tired, but excited to explore the cabin, and were pleasantly suprised to find it is actually much larger than it initially appeared. I really don't know what I can say about Whispering Waters that hasn't been said before. It's all true; thoughtfull breakfast staples in the fridge, huge gorgeous master suite with coffee bar-loveseat- huge bathroom-amazing river view. Tons of space to kick back and relax-porch, deck, hot tub, or just hang out on the point overlooking the river. Hope to visit again, and again! Thank you!!

A 5 Star Hotel Experience in a Cabin!

The property is absolutely beautiful and the scenery and views are amazing. The cabin is clean, cozy and stocked with every amenity and then some. You can really tell how much love Jeanice puts into being a hostess. The bathrooms were palatial and beautifully renovated. The master bed was comfy and even the bedroom had an excellent view.

Beautiful and peaceful place

Came up with family for my son’s college graduation. The house is warm and cozy, with a fairy-tale “cabin-in-the-woods” vibe. Our hosts thought of literally everything, even stocking the fridge with supplies for breakfast. I wish we’d been able to stay an extra day or two, just to continue to soak in the views and the sounds of the river. For travelers considering this rental: it is immaculately clean; private; warm; perched on the bank of a river. Great for a romantic or family getaway, or a writer’s retreat. Hosts are kind and generous and never intrusive. Beds are comfortable, and both bathrooms have been fully updated. The sound of the river rushing over rocks is mesmerizing. This is one of the very best vacation rentals I’ve experienced - and our family is well-traveled and has used VRBO for 20 years. Sincerest thanks to our hosts. It just doesn’t get any better.

Perfect in every way. WOW, just WOW

We do not have the words to express how great everything was. The views, the rooms, the attention to detail, the cleanliness, the atmosphere, the sounds the river made. A prefect place to relax and de-stress. Jeanice and Tim thought of everything, yes everything. We have told our friends and will be planning another visit. You are close to so many things and attractions and Whispering Water is the perfect place to begin and end your day. Thanks again to Jeanice and Tim for a perfect setting for our anniversary trip. :)

This cabin was definately what it says it is and more.very relaxing and cozy definitely stay again..

My wife and I stayed here for our thirty anniversary and she and I absolutely 💯 loved every thing it had to offer. The view and sounds of the water were very humbling. We took trip to cranberry lake which wad also stunning. We also took a trip to Potsdam did some fleamarketing and watched the geese.then headed little farther into town of Malone visited wilder farm and trout river where we took some beautiful photos and then stopped for a quick meal at one of the pizza shops where there bourbon wisky wings were phenomenal. Then headed back relaxed in hot tub and few drinks and fire overlooking river. Thank u bearnic and Ted for a lovely time.

Fantastic experience!

My wife and I stayed here for our 15th wedding anniversary. After reading all the 5 star reviews we had fairly high expectations - we both unanimously agreed that everything far exceeded our expectations. The property was fantastic and meticulously cared for, the view of the river and rapids/waterfall were astounding, and the amenities were better than anywhere we have ever stayed. Small things we never would have expected were provided like a snack basket by the door, a stocked refrigerator, bookshelves with local history, and a stack of split and dried firewood. The fire pit location above the river was amazing! We were able to meet the owners Jeanice and Ted who were very nice and offered tons of suggestions for area activities. If you enjoy walking there is a couple mile country road loop almost entirely along the Oswegatchie river. The fishing was decent as well. All in all this stay ranked among our best ever and we hope to make return trips in the future. Don’t hesitate on this one - it’ll certainly leave a lasting impression. Thank you Jeanice and Ted for sharing this wonderful property and helping to create lasting memories on our anniversary.

Home Away From Home

This was an incredibly pleasant week to “get away” for my partner and I. We are two people for whom cleanliness is paramount and we were more than comfortable here with more amenities than you could imagine. The coziness of the cabin and view of the river are not done justice in the photos. Our hosts Ted and Jeanice were more than kind. If you are looking for a peaceful place away from it all where it is more than easy to cook your own meals and just exist peacefully with a beautiful view, this is your spot. Thank you!

What an incredible find! The hospitality is far beyond what we could have expected! From the fully stocked coffee bar and condiments and spices, to the puzzles and board games and dvd’s, and so much more, we hardly needed to and hardly wanted to leave! Jeanice and Ted are such gracious hosts and even brushed the snow and shoveled the snow around the property and our car for us each day! The scenery is breath taking and ever changing which makes simply looking out the window very exciting! We can’t wait to come back and enjoy the pool and hot tub!

All I can say… simply AMAZING!!!

My stay at the cabin was simply amazing and that’s an understatement! I drove 5.5 hours from Connecticut and it was worth it. The morning of my drive was stressful due to walking outside to a broken back window of my vehicle. I drove nervously with the plastic placed on there temporarily because it was shredding and holding by a thread. I also got lost for a second upon arrival. All of that stress instantly went away when I was greeted by Ted! Ted was warm, kind and inviting and pointed me to the right direction. When I arrived, I was blown away. As soon as I parked I heard the sounds of the Oswegatchie River. I followed those sounds and it led me to a gorgeous view of the river surrounding the cabin. It was simply breath-taking. I sat there taking it all in with a smile. Entering the cabin was also a breath-taking experience. It was so clean and gorgeous!!! It was also fully stocked with everything you would ever need! The pellet stove was already running when I arrived. The views of the river from the master bedroom were incredible. I spent my time meditating , writing poetry in front of the pellet stove, listening to jazz music provided by the I-pod that is already in the cabin hooked up to speakers. I just want to say that Jeanice and Ted made my stay one of the best experiences that I had in a long time. Jeanice is so kind, sweet, accommodating and informative. I can’t thank them enough! This was a Peace Retreat for me and I felt at peace by the time I left. You have to book a stay and experience an amazing time at a beautiful cabin!!! If I could rate far beyond 5 stars I would. I will definitely be booking again!!
