Heron Cottage @ The Ledges Resort & Marina

The Ledges Resort & Marina is right in the heart of the 1000 Islands. We have ten cottages spread across six acres of landscaped grounds along the St. Lawrence River. There are views of the Boldt Castle, Sunken Rock Lighthouse, and the main shipping channel. Throughout the property you will find many beautiful spots to relax, read a book, take a walk, and fish. While the grounds provide privacy and lots of space, we are not in a remote location. There is a public park with a playground and basketball court on our street. And it’s an easy walk to downtown Alexandria Bay. There you will find plenty of shopping, restaurants, and entertainment.

The Ledges has a large in-ground swimming pool and lounge area. There is a gazebo overlooking Boldt Castle. Each cottage has its own fire-pit where you can warm up under the stars. We even provide free firewood!. We also have free kayaks and canoes for our guests. If you bring a boat, we have dockage available. If you don’t have your own boat, we have boat rentals on site. We also offer private boat charters on a classic wood 1957 Lyman. The Ledges is your gateway to all that The St. Lawrence river and Thousand Islands has to offer!

This listing is for the Heron Cottage. It is a beautiful two-story one-bedroom cottage with a stone fireplace overlooking the river. It has a queen size bed upstairs. Downstairs there is a queen size pull out sofa with a memory foam mattress. It has a full kitchen with a refrigerator/freezer, farmhouse apron sink, range, dishwasher, coffee maker, tea kettle, and microwave. There is a HDTV with Directv satellite television.


* IMPORTANT NOTES:
Dogs are allowed. There is a $35 PER NIGHT/PER PET fee. Adding pets to your reservation through VRBO does not add the pet fee automatically. The pet fee will be added and charged separately after the reservation is confirmed. Pets must be leashed, cleaned up after, and kept off furniture.

Boat dockage can be added to a reservation for $2 per foot/per night. Personal watercraft dockage can be added for $20 per night. Power and water are available at all docks. We have plenty parking for boat trailers. There is a free public boat launch less than one mile from us.

Perfect all around location

We had a wonderful stay! The property was beautiful, just as described and we loved having a fire pit and being able to walk around and see the river. Our cottage was beautiful and clean and had everything we could want. We would definitely stay here again, it was close to town but far enough away for privacy and peace and quiet.

Peace and quiet

We enjoyed our off season stay at the end of September. The house was exactly as pictured. We needed help figuring out the TV remotes and they were very helpful to get us set up. We enjoyed the cozy fireplace. We hope to come back again with some family members.

Loved it!

We had a change of plans and decided to go to Alex Bay last minute. There was only one night available by the time we booked but wished we could've stayed longer! The cottage was adorable and we loved the decor. The view was beautiful as well. We also brought our two dogs and it was so nice to walk them around the grounds. Would stay again a million times.

Family Vacay in ABay

If you have the opportunity to go to the Ledges, do it!! The Ledges is immaculate, staff super friendly & helpful. The groundskeeper made sure everything was in working order & always replenished the wood for our fire pit. A must have to sit and watch the amazing sunsets. Can’t wait to go again.

10/10 Experience

I could not have asked for a better place to stay on my first solo vacation. The location was perfect, close to everything I wanted to experience on my trip. The cottage was absolutely spotless, and yet it felt so cozy. The bed was clean and comfortable. the shower was AMAZING, the kitchen had everything I needed to make meals at home. The hosts were also just a text away and responded promptly. I truly have nothing bad to say about The Ledges, I would recommend at stay here to absolutely anyone. I hope to come back some day!

Alex Bay at Heron Cottage

We had a very enjoyable weekend in the Heron Cottage at the Ledges resort. It was close to town with a view of the river. The beautifully landscaped grounds and a fire pit (wood supplied) at each cottage was a big plus.

Nick and Amy were friendly and helpful, and clearly care about the experience of the people who rent from them. Everything you could need was provided, including firewood! Chris and other employees were equally as nice and hospitable. Will definitely be coming back, hopefully ASAP!

Loved it!!!

Exceptionally friendly and clean. Just one suggestion - Maybe a cabinet in the bathroom so I could have unpacked my toiletries. Loved the shower. I would stay there again and have already recommended it to family and friends. They certainly went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed, from shampoo to fire wood in the fire pit. A home away from home!!
