About this property

Rossie Historic 1823 Workers’ Boarding House. Restored Charming 4-bedroom house



Step back in time while enjoying the comfort of today. Built in 1823, this historic home is believed to have served as the original boarding house for the workers who helped build Rossie’s famous mills, lead works, and mining community.

Located directly across from the spectacular Rossie Falls and the historic mill ruins, you’ll wake up to the sound of rushing water and views that have changed very little in over 200 years.

Whether you’re relaxing with your morning coffee, exploring the historic ruins, kayaking nearby waters, or taking a scenic drive to the Thousand Islands, this home offers a peaceful escape filled with history and natural beauty.

Highlights

* Built in 1823
* Historic workers’ boarding house
* Overlooks Rossie Falls and the old mill ruins
* Quiet village setting
* Approximately 25 minutes to Alexandria Bay, Clayton, and the Thousand Islands
* Excellent fishing, boating, hiking, photography, and wildlife viewing nearby
* A perfect retreat for history lovers, couples, families, and outdoor enthusiasts

As evening falls, enjoy the peaceful sounds of the waterfall, gather around the fire pit beneath the stars, and experience a side of New York that few visitors ever discover.

This isn’t just a place to stay—it’s an opportunity to become part of the story of one of New York’s earliest industrial communities.

This is a beautifully restored historic home that is well equipped with everything you’ll need for a wonderful vacation. The view of the river, waterfall, and cliff on the property is stunning! The location was great for us. We fished the St Lawrence River and the boat launch to Chippewa Bay was 17 minutes away. Communication with the homeowner was great. They are very generous hosts. We had a relaxing time here.

Great Stay at Historic Home

My brother and I, along a couple of friends stayed at this home - a remarkable restoration of a beautiful, historic building. We grew up spending summers on the Indian River, fishing, swimming and spending time with neighbors. We were able to do the same 30 years later, reconnecting with old friends and neighbors along the river. The home is well equiped with everything we needed for a enjoyable stay, including air conditioning when the weather turned warm. Also really enjoyed meeting Peter, the property host, who warmly welcomed us. Penny, the co-host was also very responsive to every communication. I highly recommend this home and hope to visit again.
