Beautiful Lake House w/ Private Beach
Looking for a summer getaway on the lake? This is the perfect spot!
The house is located on the shores of Chaumont Bay just 40 minutes from Watertown Int'l Airport. Why not be located in perfect proximity to all of the popular summer destinations spots?
Cape Vincent - 17 min Clayton - 40 min Sackets Harbor - 40 min Watertown - 40 min Alexandria Bay - 50 min
Let's talk about where you'll be staying: The house is a BIG two bedroom, one bath cabin on a private lot. One bedroom is downstairs and has a queen bed. Perfect for two people. The second bedroom is the loft above the great room and definitely the one you want to claim if you want the picture-perfect views of the lake! Because the loft is so big, you'll have two queen beds and be able to sleep 4 additional people. Lastly, you'll have a queen size air bed at your disposal if you need room to sleep up to two additional.
The dining room will seat 8, so we encourage you to sit around the table to break bread with friends and family. But if that's not your thing, grab your plates and head outside to sit around the fire pit while you nosh.
If all the outdoor activities have got you vying for some downtime in front of the big screen, you'll have two to chose from -- one in the great room downstairs (complete w/ surround sound for the perfect movie night experience) and one just above in the upstairs loft. For your indoor fun there is a ping pong table to enjoy!

Amazing time at an amazing property
Second time staying at Helena’s property and it was equally enjoyable as the prior stay. Check in was easy, the home is well-appointed and contains just about everything one would need to enjoy 3 Mile Bay. I’d rent the place all season if I didn’t have that pesky job getting in the way of things.

Best Vacation Spot Yet!
This rental was amazing. The property was so beautiful! The cottage was much bigger and prettier in person. There was a private rocky beach, so swimming, kayaking, etc was so easy to access. The property owner, Helena, was so helpful and quick to text with any questions we asked. We rent a lake cottage every year, and this was the best one yet! Gorgeous, relaxing, fun! What else could you ask for?

Great location and beautiful views
Overall a nice stay. We loved the proximity of the house to the lake and the ease with which we could put our kayaks into the water. The deck is newer and large and affords beautiful views of Cherry Island across the bay. The house has a large spacius great room with lots of windows, attached to an older part which used to be a trailer. The older part contains the kitchen ane bathroom and the downstairs bedroom, all of which could use some updating. The kitchen was well supplied with everything you need for food prep, and the outside grill was great and easy to use. Unfortunately the house does not have air conditioning and on sunny days it got quite hot inside. There are skylight windows to release the heat, but they were not working. The owner plans to have them fixed. The other issue was that the water in the kitchen and bathroom smelled like sulfur. We made the owner aware of it and this was apparently unusual. She worked with us to try to get rid of the smell but we couldnt get rid of it totally. The owner is working with her maintenance people to address it. The owner was very good about trying to help us address the heat and water issues, and we appreciate her responsiveness. She supplied plenty of drinking water so that wasn't a problem.

4 Day Fishing Vacation
The house has beautiful views and is very spacious. The host was very communicative and the place was a wonderful deal. The hot water has a very bad aroma, sulfur I believe, and it would be nice if it could be filtered in a way to remove the smell. The outside temps got up to about 80 and the loft area got very warm making it a little difficult for the guest who was up there to sleep. A/C was not a listed amenity so this inconvenience was entirely on me. Overall a wonderful experience and I do not believe that you could find a nicer place for the money!

Peaceful and relaxing
The property is as listed. Everything seemed well kept. The facilities were more than adequate. The weather was hot and humid so we definitely took advantage of the fans and the water. Great for swimming and cooling off! The porch was a great place to enjoy a meal or sit and watch the water. Plenty of space inside to spread out and relax!

Excellent property. Would recommend to anyone looking to stay on 3 Mile Bay.
The home is in a great location and is well appointed. Comfortable beds and great beach for swimming. Water pressure isn't the best but that is a minor consideration and fairly common in the area so by no means unique to this property. Communication with host was great and Helena was very responsive. I would not hesitate to book again (and likely will!).

Party in the front (newer addition, great room, loft) Retro in the back (original,vintage 1974.) Extremely well appointed. Just bring food, drink, maybe paper plates. 28x12 deck housed our labs nicely. We all felt very relaxed. Water, perfect.

Waterfront escape
Took my breath away!! Walking into the living area, I just stopped to gaze out the picture windows to the view of the bay. The property was very comfortable and clean. Spent my morning with coffee by the water. Kids were comfortable just lounging on the oversized sofas and I spent time on the deck. Fishing was awesome and my son caught his first drum.

Great family cabin
Thank you Helena for sharing your home with us. We had a lovely stay with our three young kids (aged 2-8) and grandma. Lots of space inside and outside. The beach is rocky but totally manageable, and my kids loved swimming and snorkeling. Easy day trips to Cape Vincent and Alexandria Bay. We would definitely stay here again.

Very Peaceful
The house was clean and quiet, a perfect get away to reconnect with the world, in my eyes. Wrong time of the year to go if you are looking for things to do but if not then highly recommended. The lake is peaceful and quiet, the location is secluded and quiet. Perfect get away! Thank you to Helena for having such a great place that is also pet friendly as myself and my fur pal had a great time. Maybe invest in a kayack to keep there as that would have just put it right over the top for me, but other than that loved it.
