Magnificent 6-bedroom cottage on the water with spectacular views of the water

This is a magnificent brand new built home, just completed June 2018. It has 6 bedrooms and 3.5 bath's situated on the St. Lawrence River. It is perfect for family vacations, reunions, couples retreats, or fishing getaways. One of the very few private cottages on Wellesley Island that can accommodate up to 16 people. Wake up to a spectacular view of the sun rising over the St. Lawrence River while you watch the international ships passing a few hundred feet from your dock. This cottage is accessible by boat or car. Over 150' of private dockage onsite, so bring your boat and water toys. Onsite parking for up to 6 vehicles. Trailers can be stored at the state park down the road for a small fee paid to the park. It doesn't get any easier than that!!! With over 3/4 of an acre of fenced-in, park-like setting, you will feel like you are on your own private estate.

Never worry about losing your key. House has a key-less entry lock with a back light keypad. Code is changed at the end of your stay.


Recently purchased in 2013, and rebuilt from the ground up in June 2018. It has wonderful new amenities. The master bedroom suite is on the second floor with a King bed and ceiling fan. Second floor balcony is located off the master suite, you can relax and take in the breath taking views. There is another bedroom on the second floor with a king bed. Two Full bathrooms with tub/shower, double sink and toilet. Two more bedrooms upstairs with queen over queen bunks. Downstairs there is a bedroom with a queen bed & in the game room, there is a queen sofa sleeper. There is a full bathroom with tub/shower and double vanity. There is a 1/2 bath also on the first floor. Enjoy the large open floor plan of the living room and kitchen with panoramic views of the river. All linens and pillows are included.
Please feel free to use our fire pit. Also, enjoy our large furnished patio and propane grill. Grounds are professionally maintained.
All the comforts of your own home with a washer and dryer in a separate laundry room. Dishwasher, sinkerator, large refrigerator/freezer, large island in kitchen.
Only a few miles away, take the Uncle Sam Boat Tour to see Boldt Castle, Singer Castle, and Canada. See Thousand Islands Park, a community filled with old-fashioned charm including original merchant buildings from the mid-1800’s, Victorian-style homes, and make a reservation for a memorable dinner at the four-star Wellesley Hotel. Visit the Antique Boat Museum in Clayton, the War of 1812 Museum in Alexandria Bay, and enjoy good prices on shopping in area towns. Crystal clear waters make for the best fishing around. Watch the fish swim right before your eyes as you relax on our dock. Bring your passports for the short drive into Canada for more shopping, sightseeing, and entertainment.

Fantastic Property
We stayed at this property for a Celebration of Life for a passed family member. The property managers are outstanding! We had an issue prior to checking in and they went above and beyond to accommodate us. This house has plenty of bathrooms and can work well for 14-16 people. Queen Bunks! The kitchen is well stocked for serving large gatherings and has everything you need. The view is great and you can almost touch the huge cargo ships that pass frequently. We tried hard to think of something that wasn’t spot on and failed miserably. A special thanks to Janet!! She was super attentive to change requests and phone calls. This is a first class property owned and managed by first class individuals. Do Not Hesitate to book this property.

Family Time in Prime Location
This is our family’s third year at this vacation rental, and it continues to impress. We loved being able to play outdoor games in the expansive yard and dining outside at the large umbrella tables. Central air was especially appreciated due to the heat wave that week. The kitchen is well-equipped, and the open floor plan gives plenty of room for family members to spread out. We’ll be back.

Great Place for Family Vacation
My husband and I rented this location for a week with our grown children and grandchildren. We had a great time. The children were able to swim and fish off the dock. We rented a pontoon boat and easily boated to surrounding places of interest. Even though it's right on the main channel, the cottage is located in a small bay so we could paddle around on kayaks and paddle boards out of the way of the main boat traffic.

Great house
The house was great for our family. When we arrived we were way short on towels. Never did get enough. Could have used a heads up on how to use the grill. Water was very low swimming not great. We bought six wine glasses and left them. Overall we had a great time.

Loved the view of barges and wildlife!
We really enjoyed this house with its view of the channel. We were able to dock a boat we rented and travel to Boldt Castle within a few minutes. We also enjoyed Wellesley Island State Park and Thousand Island Park that are just 10 minute drive from the house. The house has nice appliances and provides everything you need for a comfortable vacation.

Great Family Vacation
This was our 3rd year staying in this beautiful house, so that shows how much we enjoy it. Watching ships passing by while relaxing on the porch was a favorite pastime, and the large table in the great room was perfect for family card playing and games. Jerry and Janet always respond quickly to any questions, which shows their commitment to their guests. We’ll be returning next year.

Week away with your siblings
All my siblings and our families stayed here for 1 week. The house is big enough so everyone can have their own space. The house is amazing. Everything you need is there. Just sitting on the dock watching all the freight ships go by is just another perk. The extra yard space is great for playing outside games. We rented a pantoon boat for the week and docked it right at the house. Just had to be careful of the low water level getting in and out of the dock. The fish that we caught and released from the dock were incredible. The owners were quick to respond if we had any questions before or during our trip. I would recommend this property.

Great location and great hosts.
Our party of 8 (4 adults and 4 kids) had a wonderful time on our recent trip to Wellesley Island and the 1000 Islands. The house Is right on the river and has a dock that easily accommodated the pontoon boat we rented. The owners, Jerry and Janet, were quick to answer all of our questions and the house was well equipped with kitchen items, games, blankets, etc. The house has a very welcoming feel and the kids were very comfortable in the house as well as in the yard. The house is right on the river so if you have young children, as we do, you will need to watch them. That said, the area directly bordering the yard and the dock is relatively shallow and the water was not quick moving. We did choose to travel at the end of the busy season but found a lot of things to do and the weather was perfect. I would recommend this location and this house.
