I have never stayed in a home that was so clean and well appointed. Perfect home for the 4 of us. The owners have everything you can imagine available at the home. The ships are so close that you can wave to them. Being in the narrows you see and enjoy everything going on, on the river. We enjoyed walks on the island and mainly lived on the deck. The owners made sure everything was perfect for our stay. If we had a question they responded quickly. They love their little slice of heaven and it shows! Our stay was amazing to say the least. The photos do not do the home justice.

Amazing as always. Cottage has eveything you need and Susan and Carlos are the best! In my expirience renting through VBRO, which we do often, there are none better. Our all time favorite !!!

We had a wonderful week at this beautifully renovated Wellesley Island cottage. The views of the river were breathtaking and could be enjoyed from large windows inside the cottage as well as a variety of comfortable sitting areas outside. The nautical/americana style decorating was well thought out and added to the comfortable, homey feel. Carlos was so friendly and accommodating and took great care to make sure we were comfortable and enjoyed our stay. Thank you for sharing your beautiful vacation home and allowing us to create many special family memories! We hope to return next summer.

We keep coming back year after year. Wonderful views, relaxing place and comfortable accommodations. It is so exciting to see the big ships! Thanks Carlos!

My family and I had a wonderful, relaxing week at the property. Loved sitting on the deck and watching the ships go by. Lots of amenities as well as a bridge pass which came in handy for the short drive to Clayton and Alexandria Bay.

Beautiful location on the river to see ships and relax, close proximity to Wellsley island park for a sandy beach or swim right from the deck at the house, quiet location with neighbors at quiet a distance so no one bothers you, quiet road for bike rides and walking the dog, just a perfect place!

This lovely cottage right on the water is just a little piece of heaven! Sitting in the rocking chairs watching the ships and boats go by, which are close enough you feel you can touch them, is a relaxing way to pass the day. The interior is beautifully decorated and the hosts have thought of everything. We enjoyed kayaking and swimming from the dock. This is our favorite rental on the river!

Great spot to ship watch! Our 4th stay at this location. Hosts make it easy to settle in & unwind. Future visits a must!

If you are looking for a beautiful River experience, look no further!! We love the picturesque views, the peaceful location, comfortable updated interior, the thoughtful details and amenities that the hosts provides, outdoor seating for all views!! It is located on a ledge so there is no gradual grade to the water; however there is a swimming platform and safe levels to swim and stay cool on a hot Summer day. Pets are allowed but if you have dogs that love the water, it may not be possible for them to swim at this location. But plenty of area to go for walks!! :))

GREAT COTTAGE, GREAT LOCATION!! Very restful with alot of places to visit and some really great restaurants

The cottage is adorable! The most important things to us are cleanliness and comfort, and this property was a winner on both counts. It was the best stocked property I have ever rented. Everything was in excellent condition. There were so many thoughtful items provided in case we may have forgotten anything. I contacted Carlos a couple of times and he answered promptly each time. We spent a good deal of time on the deck watching the ships . It was a lovely and relaxing vacation.

We had a great week watching the big boats go by and relaxing on the deck. Cottage has everything you need including bridge pass which is great. Spent a day in A Bay and one in Clayton shopping so it was nice to be able to go over bridge without paying every time. Carlos is an excellent hosts as well!

This is our 2nd time staying here. Love the view of the river so much! Can’t get enough of it! Super clean and well stocked. As always, communication with the owners was super easy. Thank you, thank you!!

This place is just as described, perfect, house had everything you could need, beautiful location on the river, ships passing so close you could almost touch them, excellent place to stay

Thank you Susan and Juan Carlos for a wonderful week! Your hospitality and cottage were terrific. The cottage was spotless, comfortable, RIGHT IN THE WATER, includes everything anyone could need, secluded but close to both A Bay and Clayton. We loved using the book to identify the passing ships, which are soooo close! Again, thank you!

Susan and Carlos are super hosts. Great to work with, and they add so many extra touches. We look forward to our next relaxing visit. Claudia & Mike

Our second trip this year to Susan & Carlos’ “Wellesley Island Treasure.” So many scenic locations for my tea time, and endless freighters to watch. The cottage is roomy, and stocked up with all we could need. Close to A Bay, Clayton, Thousand Island Park, and easy walk to Peel Dock Road. Already planning a trip back next summer. Thank you!! Claudia & Mike

This is an amazing property. The owner has tended to all details. Such thoughtful touches….from s’mores ingredients, cheese and crackers, and even a bottle of St Lawrence wine on arrival. The house was meticulously clean. The outside setting is beautiful with comfortable furniture on the deck, Adirondack chairs overlooking the River, and a great swimming dock . I have rented places at the River for 19 years, and this cottage was clearly the best that I have stayed at. I hope to return in the future.

We had a great time here! The house is lovely and Susan and Carlos were wonderful hosts. They were available to answer all our questions and gave us some great ideas of things to do during our stay. You will have everything you need to have an enjoyable time. We have stayed at other places where you pretty much have to bring along your entire kitchen if you intend to do any cooking. Their kitchen had everything we needed. I can verify all of the positive 5 star reviews. Not to mention that Thousand Islands is a truly unique and special place in itself. We did the usual sightseeing, bike rides, and walks, but just sitting on the deck and watching the ships go by was the most enjoyable part. We had a wonderful time and will definitely come back.

We really enjoyed our stay at this cottage. So clean and beautifully decorated. The owners were so friendly and pleasant. They thought of so many details that went a long way to make us feel welcome.The location could not have been better! Beautiful view and so fun to watch the ships on the river. The cottage felt very private. We plan to stay again next summer. Thank you Susan and Carlos.

A great place in an amazing spot! We had so much fun from watching ships and all the antique boats pass by to floating in the river. Susan and Juan Carlos provided everything we could need and were excellent hosts. We are looking forward to our next visit 😃

This is the second time we stayed at this lovely cottage. We love it and plan on staying again next year. Its clean, a beautiful view, quiet road, and very helpful property manager!

Owners are Splendid - Repeat Future Renters

From my experience with the owners - who were more than gracious to the lovely camp it was wonderful!!! We swam, fished and relaxed what more could you want! The camp was clean, and included unexpected touches which added to the time there. I can only thank the owners for their hospitality!!!!

We loved staying at the cottage. Perfect location right on the river. We spent more time at this cottage than at any other rental in TI, watching the boats, sitting on the dock, outdoor meals on the deck, cooking, enjoying the wonderfully furnished home. Easy to get to other areas with a short drive. Susan and Carlos are excellent hosts. They are very attentive, and paid special attention to making their guests incredibly comfortable. I can't say enough positive things about them. My husband said something I never heard him say on vacation..."I'm going to miss this..." Best stay ever!

Walking through the door, I was blown away not only by the cleanliness of the cottage, but the upscale decor and thoughtfulness of the owners. They left us a care package of the most delicious cheese and wine and s’mores for the kids. There was also a basket of travel size toiletries in case we forgot or needed anything. The location was to die for too. Literally on the River, my husband fished every day off the small dock and my kids waded in the shallow cove (though the water was freezing 🥶). Lots of outdoor seating areas to choose from to watch the ships pass. This was the best rental home we’ve ever stayed at and Susan was the most accommodating and considerate host!

This cottage has everything you need for a relaxing vacation. It was immaculate, furnished with The River vibe, and if you happen to forget something (cell phone charger, cable to connect said charger to phone, toothpaste, deodorant, etc) Susan and Carlos have saved you a last minute trip to the store. The view of the channel is unparalleled. You really get to see the ships going by up close. There is a new bbq grill and plenty of seating, and tables, all around the property. The cottage has been updated with attention to every detail. We loved our week’s stay…just wish it could have been longer! Next year.

By far our best VRBO vacation ever! Both the views and the house did not disappoint. The house was clean, comfortable and well equipped. We didn’t want for anything. We spent some time playing golf and tennis but mostly relaxed enjoying the view and house. When we had a question the owners were quick to respond and were so friendly and accommodating. Each of us including our pooch had a wonderful vacation.

Fantastic location with many spots for relaxing! Our hosts have done a great job with their property, and included many thoughtful extras upon arrival. In the forty years we’ve traveled to the area, this was our favorite!

I consider myself well traveled. I stayed at different types of properties all over the world. Including high end hotels. With that said, the cleanness of this property is well within the top 5 on my list. The owners are very nice and thoughtful. We can just tell from all the details within the house that the owners truly consider us as the guests instead of the tenants. All the cook wares are in great condition, every sink had hand soap next to it, there’s plenty of pillows and blankets and they’re all spectacularly clean. The fridge is spotless. Bathroom bad travel size toiletries in it, and plenty enough towels. Not to mention the location is convenient. We love every minute of our vacation all because of this great house.

We love Wellesley Island and the cottage is in the perfect location to watch the ships go by and feel secluded at the same time. The cottage is beautifully maintained and the hosts pay attention to the details. I've never had better communication when staying at a property. And the outdoor space is lovely. Multiple places to sit and relax and enjoy the river. We loved every minute and hope to return again!

Fantastic Property with Amazing Owners. They have thought of everything. Very Kind and Generous detailed owners. No such negative items with this property or it's owners. We will be returning in 2021. Great Thanks to Susan & Juan Carlo our new future Friends. Dan & Donna King, Saratoga Springs, NY.
