Having never rented a house in the Thousand Islands we weren't sure what to expect. We have rented for 25 years at the beach in NC and have had some great places and some so-so places.
This house (and Elaine) was awesome. It is well supplied with the items that we usually bring along like spices, towels, cleaning supplies, tissues, etc. The kitchen has everything you will need, just bring food. It is an indicator of how Elaine views her guests and wants to make them happy.
The property itself is well suited for 6 adults. We had 8 for 4 days and the rear porch worked well for.an air mattress. It isn't air conditioned, but the evenings and nights cool down so that sleeping was not an issue.
The view of the river is spectacular from both the downstairs inside, front deck, and the master bedroom. Pictures really don't do it justice.
If you have a boat you will love the dockage. It is under cover and has a boat lift so your boat will be dry in the morning, no cover to install every night and your boat will be secure no matter how windy it gets, and it does get windy. There is also room to dock another boat, just not under cover. Also, if you trailer a boat be aware that there is very little parking and the house is on a dead end street so you will need to back around if you pull in with your boat. You will need to launch at Wagoners marina, which is about 3 blocks away and see if they will let you park your trailer there. We rented a pontoon boat from them for the week so they didn't charge us a launch fee or a fee to park the trailer. Elaine said there is public trailer parking in town, but we did not need to use it.
About the only items I would say were unexpected was the water pressure seems quite low and bathroom sinks and showers don't drain well. I know this is Elaine's first year, at least with this house, and she is trying to make improvements.
The overall experience with the property was about a 9.5 out of 10. Even though the house is very close to other houses, it is very quiet. The house to the left is another VRBO and the house to the right is owner occupied and they are very nice. If you want a quiet vacation you should be okay as long as the rental to the left isn't a family or group that parties. Even then, you have the entire St. Lawrence to go out on for the day. The pontoon rental is a great way to spend the afternoon cruising and anchored in a nice quiet cove and swimming.
Absolutely awesome time.
