We stayed at this cottage for a weekend in August. The island was beautiful and it had all of the amenities listed. The host communicated very promptly and helped us at one point with a water filter. There are kayaks provided and the dock was a good place for reading and relaxing. Be warned that there’s a lot of bugs in the area but none of us got any bites, and it didn’t bother us at night. Overall we enjoyed our stay and I’d come again!

Our family enjoyed 5 beautiful days at this waterfront cottage. The inside has been nicely remodeled. We launched our boat at the private ramp with no issues. Great quiet place to experience nature!

Our family of four really enjoyed our getaway at this beautiful spot. A charming country house with a terrific, terrific view of the St.Lawrence. Fun to get to the island with the ferry. We had an easy check-in and easy communication with the responsive host. The home is quite large and was nicely renovated with a great kitchen. We ate our meals on the patio. Clean comfy bedrooms. Perfect for families and friends who want to relax and spend some quiet low key time. Little tricky to use the TV but-who needs TV on vacation anyway. Easy to get to downtown Gananoque for other activities.

When you arrive to the house your greated by a beautiful view of the St. Lawrance River. The house has everything you could need to enjoy the trip. It was nice to have the boat launch on site, use cation as its very steep.

This is the perfect vacation spot for those wanting quiet, natural beauty, and relaxation. The home is spacious, clean, and equipped with all that you will need for a short or long stay. The hosts thoughtfully filled the kitchen with tools for cooking, eating, and drinking; prepped the laundry room for washing and drying; placed linens and toiletries in accessible areas; labelled drawers for easy location of various items throughout the house; provided ample lighting for indoors and out; wrote out helpful mentioned the available kayaks, fire pit, and walking trails. Neighbors were very nice. The view of the St. Lawrence was stunning! It snowed one day and to awaken to that scene was such a blessing! We saw geese, ran the trails, and experienced such glorious wildlife. I can state without reservation that the hosts deserve a outstanding rating! 10/5 :) They answered all of my questions from beginning to end - very responsive AND kind. I would love to return for future stays.

The physical location of this property is very nice and 1000 Islands is a place I will visit again. Weather was rainy, windy and cold (which I had expected), but unfortunately, when this occurs it makes the quality of the lodging of greater importance. This property is still being renovated. There are a couple of rooms that might be considered by some to be renter-ready, but; the remainder of the home is not in a condition that I would charge people to rent. Having rented through VRBO multiple times previously - this property did not measure up to others I have rented for similar or greater cost. The television is streaming only and no local channels or major networks are available. The owners seemed nice, friendly and were prompt with replies to questions. Overall, the property has potential and is located in a beautiful area, but; I feel it was described/advertised in a more positive light than it currently deserves.

This is a beautiful property overlooking the St Lawrence on Howe Island. Very accessible, clean, comfortable, and the owners thought of everything to accommodate our stay. Good wifi speed, fishing off the dock, bonfire by night. It was ideal for our family getaway. The longer we stayed, the more we fell in love. We will be back.
