Browns Homestead
A large cozy farmhouse house with huge deck and front yard overlooking the Saint Lawrence River. Beautiful views, easy docking and great access to Clayton just across the river. Grindstone Island is quiet and peaceful. A step back in time with dirt roads and beautiful scenery. Our hosts were very accommodating and super friendly. A definite recommendation for a great vacation. D

Fantastic experience
Linda’s hospitality was amazing. We had a fantastic experience. We very much appreciated being guided in to the dock as we arrived to avoid shoals. The assistance getting our luggage to the house was so helpful. We enjoyed much of the island, walking and biking. Our large family felt very at home. There was plenty of room and the house has so much charm and character. Everyone we ran into knew the house and spoke so kindly of the family. We can’t wait to go back.

River fun!
This was the perfect location for our friends and family vacation. Conveniently located across from Clayton with easy access to restaurants and shopping by boat. The hosts were beyond accommodating and had the house stocked with everything we needed! It had old farmhouse charm with the conveniences of modern day. Having laundry on an island was a game changer! Plenty of room for the kids and adults to spread out! 10/10 recommend!

Great place to stay
Awesome property with great view of the St Lawrence river,American channel and Clayton. Easy to get to by boat and straight ride to Clayton NY. We had a great time and look forward to going back next year!! Only thing is one bathroom, so for a large group getting along and sharing is a must. Any issues we simply called owners and they resolved quickly. The house is filled with everything you need for cooking. The house is very welcoming and has a home like feeling. Swimming there is a little tough access but there are a couple local beaches, Overall this is a great place to stay!! Thank you Linda, Brenda and family!

Quaint Farmhouse
We had a wonderful stay on Grindstone Island. The island had much to offer and was centrally located in the heart of the 1,000 Islands. The farmhouse had everything we needed to make our stay enjoyable. We hope to return!

Fantastic Farmhouse
The farmhouse was exactly what we expected it to be, cozy, comfortable and plenty of room. Linda and Brenda were super hosts and went above and beyond to get us settled in. The property is beautiful and well kept. The view of the river and Clayton were fabulous. There was plenty of room for our two boats on the dock and the fishing was excellent. Thank you Linda and Brenda for a great stay, we will be back.

A wonderful vacation in a beautiful house on a lovely island!
I can’t say enough positive things about our trip. The farmhouse was charming, roomy, stocked with every imaginable item you could need (from TP to cooking and baking supplies and even tons of books and puzzles for entertainment). Modern conveniences like internet and tv, but charm of vegetable garden and quiet private roads. The water and dock for your boat are just out the back of the house. Large bedrooms, and also plenty of living and family room space to spread out. Linda and Brenda was wonderful to work with and were so communicative and helpful. Unless you plan to totally retreat from the world, you DEFINITELY need to rent a boat. That was easy enough to arrange as wlll. Clayton was a 10-15 minute boat in and was charming and had fun shops and restaurants. We fished, swam, toured, relaxed. A great week!
