This property was just as advertised! We loved the rustic cottage. It was clean and it’s a very safe friendly neighborhood. The lake was gorgeous and we went to Clayton and Alexandria Bay which took no time at all to get too. Jack was the best host. Highly recommend!

Not a very good stay. The caretaker was very helpful getter my husband in as i didn't see two steps to get in and my litter ramp was too small.However, the couches were old and ratty and need replacing.I couldn't use the coffee pot without constantly resetting the strip fuse and i gave up on trying to toast. Not my best weekend outing

Cute little getaway

We had a nice trip. The weather could have been better but can’t control that. Kitchen was small but we made it work. Very thankful for the little heater in the living room because it was colder and damper than we wanted for Memorial Day weekend. The neighborhood feels so safe and all of the neighbors are so friendly. Beautiful to walk in the morning and evening. The back bedrooms were nice and roomy. Very quick to get to Watertown lots of restaurants. Nice drive to Alexandria bay. We went to see singer castle and boldt castle.
