About this property

The Ledges Resort & Marina


Welcome to the Ledges Resort & Marina! We are located on the St. Lawrence River across from Boldt Castle and Sunken Rock Lighthouse. We have ten cottages of various sizes spread throughout the property. Six acres of landscaped grounds and gardens wander along the river for your enjoyment. We have decks, hammocks, and gazebos along the water. The large in-ground pool is newly renovated. Each cottage has their own firepit with Adirondak chairs, and we provide firewood for free! High speed Wi-Fi is in every cottage and throughout the grounds. Each cottage has an outdoor dining area and gas grill. There are plenty of open lawn areas to play catch and yard games. Or just take a leisurely walk to enjoy the many gardens throughout the property.

Canoes and kayaks are available to Ledges guests at no charge. We have boat rentals on site. We also offer guided scenic tours in an antique wooden boat! Or if you want to bring your own boat, dockage is available for $2 per foot/per night. Dock slips include power and water hook-ups. We have plenty space to park your boat trailer, and there are three free public launch ramps within one mile of us.

Each cottage is fully prepped and stocked with anything you would need. All beds are made up with fresh sheets, blankets, and comforters. The bathrooms are set with fresh bath towels, hand towels, wash clothes, a bathmat, and luxury toiletries. The kitchens have everything you need including pots, pans, silverware and dishes. They have a micowave, drip-coffee maker, toaster, blender, and tea kettle. You will also find kitchen basics like dish soap, tin foil, dish sponges, paper towels, salt, pepper, and other items.

From The Ledges it is an easy one mile walk to the center of downtown Alexandria Bay. You will have easy access to shopping, dining, tours, parks, and attractions. There is a new public playground right on our street. Downtown you fill find scenic view park. It has a public beach for river swimming, a playground, and a large pavilion on the water. With our location and six acres of private grounds we offer a level of peace, space, and privacy that you won’t find at a hotel. At the Ledges you have the best of both worlds, relaxation and convenience!

The Ledges is a dog friendly resort. We do require dogs to be kept on a leash at all times, be cleaned up after, and kept off all furniture. Owners must be responsible and make sure their dogs do not cause noise or disturbances to other guests. There is a $35 per night/per dog fee.

Lovely property
The cottage was clean, had a well-stocked kitchen, and the property/grounds were inviting and decorated so nicely for fall. It was easy to take our Golden Retriever outside to do his business. The firepits are such a nice addition! I can imagine coming back in the summer when the pool is open.

About the host

Hosted by Nick & Amy Schaefer

Host profile image
The Ledges Resort & Marina started with my grandparents Nicholas J Schaefer and his wife Amy. They purchased the property in 1961 and made it their home. In 1963 they built a motel and named it The Ledges. They also opened a German restaurant on the property named The Old World Inn. They closed the restaurant 1982, but continued with the motel. In later years the motel was managed by my parents, Jerome and Deborah Schaefer. They expanded into the marina and cottage rental business. In 2013 after 50 years in business we made a decision as a family to close the business and tear down the motel.

In 2014 my wife and I purchased the property from my parents. We remodeled the old buildings and built brand new cottages from the ground up. We re-opened to guests in the spring of 2015. I was named after my grandfather, Nicholas, and it just so happens that my wife’s name is Amy. So, once again Nick & Amy are your hosts at the Ledges!

Why they chose this property

Located in the Heart of the 1000 Islands!
