The lake views were stunning. Kitchen was reasonably equipped. We enjoyed the large eat-in kitchen. Local hiking was appreciated. Host responded very quickly with generous check in and out times. We were not aware that drinking water would be bottled. Extra blankets would have been appreciated.

The location is perfectly located to enjoy the beauty of the 1000 Islands region, and the old farmhouse is a wonderful place to stay. The large grounds are private, and the views are breathtaking. I am already planning to return next year.

We were well taken care of from start to finish, quick response responses to questions, beautiful property farmhouse/Cottage… It is obvious to see that they are making renovations and improving things… We anticipate going back, it was exactly what we were looking for …room to move, a good amount of privacy, walking trail around the property is phenomenal, boat launch is extremely handy. We have a 22 footer. Bring what you need. Or you will be spending more time than you want to to get to the mainland and pick up whatever you forgot. Swimming off the dock is good. Fire pit is exceptional… We enjoyed ourselves… Perfect place to bring your grandchildren and let them be a bit wild.

Howe Island Stay

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.

It is a great location and great place. The only thing better we would have expected is to receive our rooms in an even more cleaner condition. It was cleaned up, so no mess or dirt etc. just could have been a better job as we could see still dust and sand around. However, it was easy to communicate with and the lake view and kayak facility etc added to the experience and beauty of our stay.

An ideal getaway, away from the crowds.

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.

Property was perfect for our family of 7 coming from across Canada for a Celebration of Life in Kingston. Ferry was fast and easy. House is very well equipped with anything you may need. Beautiful kitchen and fully stocked and labelled so easy to find everything. Very clean, private cottage and the views are breath taking! We will definitely book again!

Great place in a beautiful area

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!

Countryside beauty

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.

Good location for the price

The house is spacious, well equipped, with a beautiful view of the river and Wolfe Island. The rental included the use of 2 single person kayaks, which we used often. We got a big bass from the river bank in front of the property. We got a lot of pike, bass and perch on the island (Ferry area at departure and arrival sites) but not near the property. The owner left plenty of wood for us to make a fire in the pit as well lots of drinking water. There is no AC but fans are available when there is no breeze. Our only negative is the lack of water pressure for general usage and showers.

Beautiful Place for Peace and Quiet

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.
