Perfect Family Vacation

Our family rented this beautiful house for the second summer in a row. It’s wide open interior allows for everyone to spread out, while enjoying the comfort of central air conditioning on hot summer days. A favorite spot is the front porch, where you can sit and watch the ships go by. Can’t wait to go back! Nancy B

Loved the view of barges and wildlife!

We really enjoyed this house with its view of the channel. We were able to dock a boat we rented and travel to Boldt Castle within a few minutes. We also enjoyed Wellesley Island State Park and Thousand Island Park that are just 10 minute drive from the house. The house has nice appliances and provides everything you need for a comfortable vacation.

One of the most beautiful cottages I have stayed in.

Loved the cottage, it was spacious, very clean, really comfortable. We were 14 of us including kids and this cottage is a place to be if you are planning a thousand islands vacation. Jerry and Janet were very friendly and made us feel comfortable. The place is scenic during the day and night. A trip to remember couldn't ask for more. I would highly recommend it!!!!!

Great Place for Family Vacation

My husband and I rented this location for a week with our grown children and grandchildren. We had a great time. The children were able to swim and fish off the dock. We rented a pontoon boat and easily boated to surrounding places of interest. Even though it's right on the main channel, the cottage is located in a small bay so we could paddle around on kayaks and paddle boards out of the way of the main boat traffic.

Wellesley Island Gem

Our extended family enjoyed a wonderful reunion at this beautifully appointed home. Jerry and Janet thought of everything to make guests feel comfortable and welcomed, and they answered any questions we had immediately. The location was perfect, and we enjoyed watching the ships pass by from the large front porch. We have already booked a return visit for next year, as we all agreed that this house is truly a Wellesley Island gem.

River Week 2019

My family had a wonderful stay at this property. It was a beautiful location with every amenity available. Because the river was so high it did make the dock a challenge, however Jerry had set up barrels so were were still able to dock and use or boat. The fishing was great!!! If your family is looking for a place everyone can be together this was an excellent set up with plenty of space. We would recommend it. Our family has been renting summer homes in The 1,000 islands for the past ten years in a row and have had a lot of experience with different rental properties. Just highly recommend if you stay here to purchase property damage insurance, especially if traveling with young children.

The best of everything in the 1000 Islands!

From the moment we contacted Janet and Jerry about renting a year ago to the moment we left our rental, we had a fantastic experience. The home is brand new and gorgeous - luxury accommodations, plenty of room for a large group, stunning views of the river, and amazing perks outside (the dock, outdoor kitchen including the grill, a lot of seating options on the multiple decks and outdoor patios sets, play area, etc.). The owners have thought of everything to make guests comfortable, including providing linens, a/c when needed, a stocked kitchen with all of the bells and whistles, and those fancy bathrooms! Wow. Janet and Jerry were always available for questions. We've been staying on Wellesley Island for years and this was our favorite rental by far for so many reasons. We will definitely be returning! Thanks so much, Woods family!

Great location but very greedy owner

We stayed 3 nights and 3 days at this cottage perfectly located on Wellesley island. This place has a beautiful waterfront and his well equipped to accommodate guests but isn't new and needs some refreshments. In fact, we feel that the owner used unjustified reasons to keep our deposit (greater than the rate of 1 night) to maybe fund future renovations. The owner claimed extra cleaning charges for leaving the BBQ dirty and a spill in the oven to justify keeping our deposit while we had already pay for cleaning charges initially. Greedy and not recommended practices make us discourage anyone who would consider renting this place.

Sorry it wasn't perfect, but could have been!

The house was enjoyable on the inside all brand new from being rebuilt from the fire. The outside was in need of work. It was hard to get into Kayaks because the floating dock had a horrible old row boat on it. The yard needed work but that was due to construction. The owner has cameras placed on his big expensive boat that takes up the driveway that you are not allowed to use. I received a text on the third day of vacation from the owner threatening to throw us out of the house because we broke a rule about the driveway. Sorry! The cars were moved immediately and he asked to be called. I phoned him and he proceeded to yell at me on the phone for 3 minutes. I will express again he YELLED at me. This of course but a damper on our vacation for about 24 hours. I received my security deposit 35 days after check out. They said the check was in the mail and must have gotten lost. The owners were away at the time and had no banking information with them. I find this hard to believe with all our smart phones and computers. Wrong! My husband and I were VRBO owners for 5 years and I can assure you we would have done everything possible to get our renters their money. While staying at this house we wired a tenant money owed and paid the charge. This is how it should be done! Even if rule number 6 out of 20 was broken you don't need to YELL at someone. The location is nice. You may want to bring an umbrella for the tables at the dock, it is too hot to sit down there.

Fantastic Property

We stayed at this property for a Celebration of Life for a passed family member. The property managers are outstanding! We had an issue prior to checking in and they went above and beyond to accommodate us. This house has plenty of bathrooms and can work well for 14-16 people. Queen Bunks! The kitchen is well stocked for serving large gatherings and has everything you need. The view is great and you can almost touch the huge cargo ships that pass frequently. We tried hard to think of something that wasn’t spot on and failed miserably. A special thanks to Janet!! She was super attentive to change requests and phone calls. This is a first class property owned and managed by first class individuals. Do Not Hesitate to book this property.
