Fabulous Stay!

This was the perfect location for a long overdue girls weekend. The apartment was immaculate, the views of the St. Lawrence incredible. The location was perfect. We parked our car and didn't touch it all weekend. The boat cruise, which I highly recommend, was 5 minute walk. It is a short walk downtown, which has great shops and lots of restaurants. The hosts were wonderful. A definite must stay when in this region.

Great Apartment & even better view

The entire process was very smooth; we were in constant communication with Debbie leading up to our stay and she was very responsive. The place was great and would recommend for any family of four or less looking to stay in Gananoque. The view was lovely and the walk out deck was a bonus.

Perfect "home base."

This place is great! The owners were quick to respond to questions about where we could keep our bikes. The view from nearly every window in the living room was amazing. It is exactly as nice as it looks in the photos. Easy walk to the boat tours, theatre and nice walking to the downtown area for great places to eat and wander. Wifi is decent. Kitchen is well equipped. The deck is perfect for sipping a coffee or glass of wine. All of the furniture is comfortable. We were there during just off season, so the pubs weren't loud. There were occasional loud horns from the boats, but much fewer than expected. This place is an excellent spot for bike rides along the waterfront trail either toward Rockport or the eastern ferry to Howe Island. We loved our stay!

Wonderful stay!

We were very impressed with this beautiful property and its location and amenities. We especially loved sitting on the deck overlooking the St. Lawrence river. This is a perfect location if you' re looking to do some walking around town - which we did both evenings that we spent here. We took the boat cruise (a must do!)- which is across the street and a couple of minutes walking distance. We would most definitely recommend this vacation property. Thank you again Debra and Steve! ~Mary & Tony

About the host

Hosted by Debra and Stephen Donaldson

Host profile image
Steve and I are so excited to share our little part of the 1000 Islands with you.

Why they chose this property

Steve bought this property before we were married 42 years ago. We renovated the property and his Mom and Dad lived in the space for while. We then rented it out until this past year when we renovated again to start offering these apartments on VRBO.
Gananoque is where we raised our daughters and where I started my Performing Arts School .We love the river and spend most of our summer on the river, boating ,kayaking ,swimming and just enjoying the beauty of the area.

What makes this property unique

We love living next door to this rental as we love the river .We are so close to everything in Gananoque that we are able to walk easily to and for anything we need.
