Thousand Islands Cottage Details

In ancient times the natives called it 'The Garden of the Great Spirit' In the 1800s Charles Dickens (otherwise unimpressed with his North American travels) called it 'a place of uncommon beauty.' I call it 'The Secret Garden', as it is still largely undiscovered. There is a lot of history here. In one photo a Willow tree sits on its own tiny island. That island has its own story. In the 1700s when the British and French were at war, a French ship heading to Fort Cataraqui (Kindston) with the payroll was being chased down by a British ship. They dodged into the bay and threw the 'treasure' overboard, planning to retrieve it later. Silt and weeds from the creek made it impossible to find, but in 1909, the grandfather of the former cottage owner brought a dredge here to look for the treasure. The dredgings were piled in one spot, to not cover the treasure. It was never found, but a willow branch floating down the creek took root on the tiny island and it has prospered here ever since.

Each of the seasons here has its own special appeal. Spring is a delight as first the flox and then the lilacs lining the drive burst into bloom. Summer brings with it long, lazy days, perfect for relaxing or exploring the creek or perhaps a game of Boules on the lawn by the water, while others watch from the deck above. A small fire pit provides a spot to roast marshmallows. Fall is arguably the finest time on the river. Summer boat traffic evaporates after Labor day, leaving the river at is at its quietest, with just the occasional fisherman about. The warmth of the water lingers, holding fall at bay. A few hundred yards inland, the colors begin to change in late September, but it is mid October before the leaves along the shore turn red. Email for additional details and pictures.

The cottage comes equipped with a couple of small boats which are perfect for use locally, but the river is vast and best explored in a larger craft and it is WELL worth exploring. My recommendation is a deck boat, a powered living room in essence, and these are available for rental about 10 miles upstream. You can rent one for the duration and keep it at the dock, or simply plan your river outings around a day or two's rental.

Guest Book: The young son of one of our guests, from Riverside California, a 13 year old boy, caught a 30 inch pike off the dock here. It was mounted and taken home as a memento/trophy of his vacation. The cottage is located at the mouth of an extensive creek system, all part of the 1000 Islands Biospere Reserve. In the warmest months some weeds appear, and the fishing here is amongst the best to be found on the River, presumably because the creek system provides good feeding grounds for fish from the River.

Other Activities: 6 different tourboat companies, fishing guides nearby
