Beautiful getaway

Loved this cottage. Its very cute and cozy. Directly on the water with a boat dock. There is a lovely little green area with a fire pit and a great little sandy spot on the bay. We could not have asked for anything more. The cottage itself is very nice, well decorated and well stocked.it was perfect, I can't stress that enough.

So close to the water

We absolutely loved our stay here. The cabin is literally on the dock area and we could see the water while laying on the bed. Sunrises are amazing. The various small towns within driving distance were full of interesting sights and architecture - Prescott, Brockville, Smith's Falls, Perth, and a bridge across the border to Ogdensburg NY within view of our dock. In the main channel we were able to see the superstructures of several huge freighters, called lakers, on the other side of the adjacent island. Dale was helpful and told us about some of the history. This was a highlight vacation!

Ensure this meets your needs

We are writing this review so that others do not do as we did and assume this is a traditional cottage property. While there were some positives - general cleanliness and ease of communication with the renter - these were outweighed by the property not being accurately represented online. The property sits mainly on a concrete slab adjacent to an Ontario Hydro work site. There is some green space on the property, shared with an adjacent property owned by the renter’s family. The cottage sits on a small channel downstream of the Johnston Bridge that has a very strong current, making it unsuitable for children, older people or weaker swimmers. The nice, large deck does not have a railing, so monitoring children at all times is a necessity. We generally do not write negative reviews but felt that the property listing had obscured the issues noted above (for example, the photos as well as the text description) with the property and we would want to be fair to future renters that they knew what they were getting into.

Clean cottage on the river

Great stay at this compact cottage on the scenic St. Lawrence. Gorgeous dockside patio and fire pit right on the water allowed us to watch boaters going by all day. Excellent wifi and loved treats left by owners.

Weekend stay

Great property close to the city, couple minutes drive into town if you need or forgot anything. Beautiful view right on the water, stayed during the winter but would be amazing to go during the summer time. Property has everything you need for cooking, sleeping etc.

Reality matched the description

Our first impressions continued to be favourable. The state of the cottage was just as we had seen in the photos. As well, a warm fire awaited us upon arrival. The view of the river, from the inside of the cottage was unique and rare. We had a fabulous time at the water's edge roasting marshmallows while lounging in the Muskoka chairs, secluded by the tall evergreen trees.

Excellent Property

My wife and I stayed here for a short 3 night vacation. Property was as advertised and Derek was very easy to deal with and responded quickly to any questions/concerns. Had a relaxing time, did some fishing off the deck and managed to catch a couple of 17 inch Bass just using worms for bait. Nice drive to Brockville and Gananoque using the old Hwy 2 and the Ivy Lea Parkway. Brockville is a beautiful small historic town and Gananoque has a Casino. Unfortunately we didn't win LOL
