Beautiful waterfront view with great outdoor space. All basics provided - beds comfortable - host provided great communication. House was clean, tidy, roomy but definitely old with dated bathrooms. Would return & recommend but the cost is very overpriced for the accommodations.

Charming little home with pretty decor. Lovely home right on the water. Walking distance to some local places. Winery is 1/2 mile down the road. Host is very responsive to texts and calls. We would recommend this rental. We would gladly use it again.

Get-away on the Bay

We enjoyed the back deck immensely - lots of room and beautiful peaceful views. The house had most everything we needed but is unique in layout. There is an ensuite downstairs, with the other three bedrooms up a narrow stairway that may be difficult for some to navigate (it was interesting to get the luggage up). Location is nice – just outside a small town, within easy reach of lots of sites and adventures. All in all, we enjoyed our stay, and would stay there again.

Perfect for a large family!

Cottage was fully stocked.The house was big enough for a large family. Several games to keep the family busy on a rainy day. The host was great with communication. There was an issue with one of the showers and the host communicated immediately before we arrived to try and fix the issue. He did have to come back to work on the shower but was very polite to ensure he was not bothering us during our stay. The issue was resolved. Beds were comfortable. Are family had a good time. Close restaurants, ice cream stand. Great location to the Thousand Islands.

Nice place

We enjoyed our stay. The house was very clean and comfortable. We stayed in the downstairs bedroom so I can’t speak to the upstairs rooms but the downstairs bedroom has a super comfortable bed, super soft sheets, and a great AC unit! So we were cool and comfy. As others have mentioned the house is older but the owners have definitely done a number of upgrades. Indeed the ceilings are low and there are steps up and down throughout. I would call the house ‘quirky’ — in a good way. I enjoyed trying to envision what the original structure looked like and how it has evolved. It was a great location for our stay in Thousand Islands.

Ice Fishing Trip 2025

We were excited to ice fish the famed Chaumont Bay for trophy walleye. Unfortunately the fishing didn't go as planned. The house was great, very clean and comfortable for our group. There was a minor issue with the boiler that the manager solved very quickly. I would definitely stay here again if the fishing was better. If you are headed there to ice fish, you should be aware that access to the water from the cottage is via a set of narrow stairs, and getting a shanty to the back yard is probably not possible. A jet sled fits, but you will struggle with anything wider. The kids did some fishing out in front of the cottage by carrying their equipment down, but for our trips onto the main Chaumont Bay we drove over to the state launch and left from there. Parking at the cottage is tight, with just enough room for 4 vehicles. The snow banks wouldn't allow for on-street parking of any additional vehicles.

Missing the Mark

We found this property to be missing the mark for sure. Great location, beautiful water views, games, new bath towels, wonderful bikes and kayaks, spacious outdoor deck with gas grill and ample dining and relaxing space. Great neighbors and private backyard. BUT...overall rundown, outdated and dirty. Beware. Listing says central AC but common areas are not air conditioned. Bedrooms have individual units. There are thermostats on wall but I guess it does not work. If you are expecting hot weather please be warned. Mildewy and musting smell throughout. Flies throughout inside upon arrival. Our family struggled with a plumbing issue that we were told about prior to check-in. Out of commission shower the first night, plumber in and out the next day and subsequent leak in kitchen ceiling the day after that. It happens. Filthy box fan, moldy recycling containers inside house, grimy kitchen cabinet doors. Made me wonder! In general, needs a really good cleaning top to bottom. Largest areas are just "swiffer" clean. Bathrooms are very outdated and just cheap. Pillows and mattresses are cheap and need replacing. Problematic steps throughout house. Be careful in the middle of the night! Very, very quirky low ceilings. Watch your head! Especially in the upstairs shower. Most grown men have to bow head and I had to watch my elbows when shampooing. I get that this is a casual summer cottage on Chaumont Harbor. However, if this is going to be rented these things should be addressed and fixed. Some are pretty easy to take care of. More attention is needed before I would consider returning. Not what I expected from a VRBO property.

Family memorial gathering

The location was perfect for our needs - weather cooperated so we enjoyed an afternoon on the deck. House provided nearly everything we could need with plenty of extra paper product back up as well. This was a “necessary” stay - not getaway or vacation - otherwise I would NEVER have paid the price to reserve here. The quoted daily price was HALF the total costs once all fees were added. COMPLETELY overpriced considering the age of the home & the lack of “luxury” amenities. Would not book again unless priced accordingly.
