Rideau-1000 Islands

This large and comfortable cottage has a walkout rec room with a pool table, darts and a "foosball" table. Definitely a place you will want to bring your boat. Cruise the islands yourself or take the Rockport Boat line to see the sights. Cottage available much of the year from early Spring till the end of November.

Located where the Canadian Shield drops down into the St. Lawrence to form the Thousand Islands, the cottage hugs great boulders to look out over the lake and affords gentle grass and pine needle paths to access the waterfront. Two docks are by the water, a small one for putting the kayaks in and a large one for bigger boats, lounging in the sun and swimming. Stroll down country lanes and woodland trails. Not a place for little children, watch the sunset from atop the rockface 100 ft. above the water. A large grass area on the other side of the cottage gives easy access to the waterfront and has a screened in gazebo for after dinner cigars. The owner was totally taken with this cottage the first time she saw it and her husband took her word on its natural beauty from afar and agreed that they should own it – it was an act of “Blind Faith”. You will love it too. A sunken livingroom is arranged to watch the sun set through the picture window. A modern kitchen, laminate hardwood flooring and natural colours all combine to create a comfortable indoors to compliment the outdoor beauty.

Beautiful pine and maple furnishings and natural tones will delight your eye and make you feel at home. A sand beach for easy access to the gradually deepening lakefront is ideal for children’s play. Sit at the picnic table with your feet in the water to watch the children play. Inside there are living areas upstairs and down and full screened windows off the dining area. Have your dinner inside - or out on the beautiful broad verandah. As the days cools off cozy up by the fireplace and share a board game with your friends and children.

At the tip of the island looking across the St. Lawrence to New York State, the Islander stands stately and luxurious. Take a ferry from Kingston and follow the twisting island 2-lane to the very end. Enter to beauty and comfort: a great room overlooking the river, new beds and attractive duvets, a dining table that can seat 10 and a open kitchen with all facilities. Outside the grassy shore yard is landscaped with a limestone barrier and accents. With a 50’ dock, private boat launch and the 1000 Islands to explore – you will want to bring your boat. Perfect for young children – walk out on sand bottom – the bay never gets more than 3.5 ft. deep. Treat yourself to the Islander at any time of year.
