- Welcome to The Ledges Resort & Marina! We are located directly on the St. Lawrence River across from Boldt Castle. We have views of the castle, Sunken Rock Lighthouse, and the main shipping channel. We have decks, docks, hammocks, and gazebos across our six-acre property. There are so many great places to relax, read a book, walk, or go fishing. We have a beautiful newly renovated in-ground pool. There are outdoor fire-pits where you can warm up under the stars. We even provide the firewood! There are plenty of open lawn areas to play catch, lawn games, or just take a walk.
The Ledges offers a peaceful getaway with six acres of landscaped grounds along the water. While the grounds provide privacy and lots of space, we are not in a remote location. It’s a quick and easy walk downtown Alexandria Bay. We are close to all of the attractions. At the Ledges you have the best of both worlds, relaxation and convenience!

* IMPORTANT NOTE: Dogs are allowed. There is a $35 PER NIGHT/PER PET fee. Adding pets to your reservation through VRBO does not add the pet fee automatically. The pet fee will be billed separately from the original reservation. Pets must be leashed at all times, cleaned up after, and kept off furniture.

Boat dockage is available with a reservation for $2 per foot/per night. PWC dockage is $20 per night. We also have boat rentals and cruises available on site.

The property is well cared for with special touches to make you feel right at home. Many amenities makes it easy to come and stay without having to pack alot of extra things. The fire pit was stocked with wood and we noticed that it was replenished. We will definitely return again.

The cottage was clean, had a well-stocked kitchen, and the property/grounds were inviting and decorated so nicely for fall. It was easy to take our Golden Retriever outside to do his business. The firepits are such a nice addition! I can imagine coming back in the summer when the pool is open.

Beautiful, clean, modern cottage. Breathtaking views. Hosts kept us in loop for checking in early, boat and jetski docking, pictures of where turn on water to dock at cottage, easy check out. Nightly fire wood provided for fires. Peaceful grounds. A true gem!

Absolutely loved the place and location. Quiet but not too quiet. I was so impressed by how lovely the grounds were. So well taken care of and filled with photo opportunities! Being able to have our dog with us was very appreciated otherwise we would not have come. The owners (managers) not sure which They were, were very quick to answer any questions we had. My only suggestions would be for a grab bar in the shower so it would truly be handicap accessible and a larger bed in the master. Not sure if it was a queen but a king would have been fabulous. Will definitely be back!!! Thanks so much

My husband and I had a great time, the property is at a fantastic location overlooking Boldt Castle. Each cottage has its own fire pit with firewood provided. The property was very clean, virtual check in was easy and we enjoyed our stay.

We stayed at The Shipwatch for the weekend. Nick and Amy have lovingly created a charming, cozy place by the water in Alexandria Bay. The cottage is so sweet, with all the necessities. The two rooms are sufficient, comfortable queen size bed in each room. The living room and kitchen are not large, but if the weather has been nicer, we would have been outside roaming the beautiful outdoor space with Adirondack chairs, fire pits, and gazebo. Nice touches, such as rain shower, good coffee, cute dishes, nice linens, etc. A lovely stay.

Beautiful cottage. Great design and comfortable for the whole family. Kids loved the pool!

10/10

I booked the Shipwatch cabin and was not disappointed . The cabin was decorated beautifully with all the amenities and was very comfortable .I especially loved the rain head shower arm in the bathroom which was a very nice touch and gave me the most relaxing shower. I now have to buy one for my bath... Loved the Adirondack chairs surrounding the Fire Pit ,and thought it was great that fresh wood was provided to make a very nice fire as well.. Also, loved the outdoor pool , and the gazebos on the premises .My guests and I enjoyed the property very much and would love to go back . We couldn't ask for a better weekend. A big thank you to Ainsley for helping me with the TV, and the owners for doing a great job maintaining the property . Cindy T.

Perfect blend of close to town while still a million miles away! Nicely maintained property with lots of room to roam, firewood delivered nightly to use in your own personal fire pit. The young couple who owned and maintain the grounds make themselves very available for any problems or questions. Our cabin was very cutely decorated and kitchen and bathrooms were well stocked

It’s the perfect relaxing stay! The pool was so enjoyable! The fire pit was always fully stocked by the staff, which was a pleasant surprise! Anytime we needed anything, help came within 5 minutes! Clean, beautiful house and location! Thank you so much for a fabulous experience! We cannot wait to come again!

Beautiful clean property. We were supposed to stay in Boathouse 3, but due to circumstances beyond the owners control (Mother Nature decided to flood the river this Spring), we were upgraded to Shipwatch cottage. Cannot say we were dissapointed in any way. We were met by a worker on our arrival who took us to the cottage. Sorry we can't remember her name, but she was extremely pleasant and offered a lot of information about the area. The overall property is clean and well kept, some of the views of Boldt Castle in the evening are spectacular. We met Nick and Amy who are very nice. Nick even came around and put the AC units back in because of the warmer weather for the weekend (much appreciated). We are already planning on returning next year. Thank you for your hospitality.

Nick and Amy were very accommodating last minute reservations for our family. We have young kids and they were entertained with plenty to do between the pool and fires while on the grounds. The cottage was clean and up to date with plenty of space for everyone. We will definitely be back.
