About this property

Dream along the St. LAWRENCE

Charming, rustic cottage that sits in a very calm, protected bay with a view of the channel and the ships passing as they slowly go up and down the St. Lawrence River.

There are 3 bedrooms and 1 bathroom with a living room, and sunroom and kitchen.
Two of the bedrooms have full/double size beds with TVs in each. The third bedroom has twin beds in it. Each bedroom has air-conditioning for the extremely hot, humid, nights.

And there are ceiling fans through out the cottage. (Please note: the ceilings are low in the cottage)

The kitchen was redone in the Spring of 2018, with new cabinets, full propane stove, microwave, dishwasher and countertops. The new kitchen allows the chef to prepare and/or clean up, while talking to their quests as they sit in either the living room and/or the sunroom. Never missing out on a conversation.
Don't feel like cooking inside....There is a gas grill with a side burner for all your barbecuing needs, with necessary cooking utensils.

There is also a nice fire pit for late night fires, ghost stores and s'mores.

There is a private floating dock and a large deck to sit and enjoy the view, while you get lost in your dreams.

Internet TV is available with guest options. There is a 50" inch TV in the living room and TV in 2 of the bedrooms,

There is also WiFi for those who need to stay connected or may need to get some work done while away. Password is provided upon arrival. Cellular service is generally very good. Owners have Verizon service and have never had a problem.

Children and pets are welcome, but please contact the owner directly, in regards to the pets. There is a pet fee of $150 per pet

The St. Lawrence River offers some of the best fishing in NY State. However, if fishing is not your thing, there are many local shops, wineries, play grounds and Clayton Boat Tours actually runs right out of the same bay. So much to do you will run out of time.

Then again, you may just be happy sitting, reading a book and looking at all of the beauty!!

Please note: There is a cleaning fee of $250, of which $50 is refundable if the cottage is left in good condition.

(Due to COVID 19; the cleaning service requires at least 4 hours to properly clean the cottage and provide the cleanest environment possible. Should you have any questions/concerns, please inquire.)

Thank you.

Not very clean
When arrived the pictures look nothing like the ones she has listed ...the GPS took us there but, no road name not outlined at all once arrived, cob webs all over the porch and inside, the shower curtain was really dirty and floors had not been vacuum at all..placemats were filthy and air conditioning in the bedroom with the twin beds didn't work....the wifi didn't work asked owner she didn't know the name of the wifi answered back and still was not sure dishwasher didn't work asked her how to figure that out still didn't answer back..so we checked out left her a list of stuff that the maid was not doing and totally ignored my request...the only thing that was great was the deck and the beautiful view. Otherwise I wouldn't recommend this property to rent unless she gets a different maid service...and stuff fixed..for the amount of money they are asking I would look elsewhere...not happy with this rental at all....

Beautiful quaint cottage
This cottage was absolutely perfect! Darla has everything you could need. The deck and dock space were both amazing and the views just breath taking. The only downside was upon arrival, there were quite a number of spiders both inside and out. Totally understandable given the location on the River. We were able to get rid of the ones inside and had no more issues with them for the remainder of our stay. The cottage may not have had anyone staying in awhile. Still the cottage was beyond what we could have asked for. Darla was very communicative and helpful for where to dock and park our boat and trailer as well. It was a great long weekend and we’ll be back!

Great spot and view, dated cottage needing some improvements.
Cute cottage at a great spot, perfect views and nice deck! Nice kitchen and cozy living room with a nice tv. On the down side the water system is served by a well. The sinks had low pressure, you cannot drink the tap water, the water had a sulfur smell, and the shower had extremely low pressure, nearly unusable. There is a water cooler provided for drinking (hot and cold). Ceilings and fans are very low, your head will bump the fans if you 5’11” or taller. Lots of spiders inside and out. The washer was out of order when we were there. A sheet with check-out instructions would be helpful to prevent misunderstandings.

About the host

Hosted by Darla Chase

Host profile image
Our cottage is our "Happy Place". I ordinaly purchased the cottage in 2001 and knew instantly that this would be the place that would always bring me peace when I needed it.

When I met my partner in crime, Esteban, and introduced him to the "River"; he was on the tail end of his 34 year military career to our country. He too instantly fell in love with the "River" and the peace that he found there. It was his idea to begin renting the cottage, so we could make updates and improvements.
It is our goal, when I retire as a social worker, to live at the cottage for the warm months and snowbird for the cold months... perhaps southwest. Every penny we make renting goes back into the cottage we love.

We recently adopted an amazingly young son who keeps us even more busy with football, lacrosse and various other activities; but we always find ourselves back at the "River" to re-group and find our peace... Even our son, Teyo, enjoys the beauty and comfort the River brings a person. 😊

We hope that those who rent it enjoy their time they spend here and are able to create beautiful long lasting memories.

Why they chose this property

The cottage is conveniently located to many attractions, wonderful restaurants and beautiful sunsets. We have floating docks, so water levels are not a problem; whether high or low.
While rustic, we try keep it warm and welcoming. Making improvements yearly.

We only ask that you treat our cottage with respect as you would treat your own home

Thank you

What makes this property unique

Close to everything!!
