Fantastic experience

Linda’s hospitality was amazing. We had a fantastic experience. We very much appreciated being guided in to the dock as we arrived to avoid shoals. The assistance getting our luggage to the house was so helpful. We enjoyed much of the island, walking and biking. Our large family felt very at home. There was plenty of room and the house has so much charm and character. Everyone we ran into knew the house and spoke so kindly of the family. We can’t wait to go back.

River fun!

This was the perfect location for our friends and family vacation. Conveniently located across from Clayton with easy access to restaurants and shopping by boat. The hosts were beyond accommodating and had the house stocked with everything we needed! It had old farmhouse charm with the conveniences of modern day. Having laundry on an island was a game changer! Plenty of room for the kids and adults to spread out! 10/10 recommend!

Great place to stay

Awesome property with great view of the St Lawrence river,American channel and Clayton. Easy to get to by boat and straight ride to Clayton NY. We had a great time and look forward to going back next year!! Only thing is one bathroom, so for a large group getting along and sharing is a must. Any issues we simply called owners and they resolved quickly. The house is filled with everything you need for cooking. The house is very welcoming and has a home like feeling. Swimming there is a little tough access but there are a couple local beaches, Overall this is a great place to stay!! Thank you Linda, Brenda and family!

Quaint Farmhouse

We had a wonderful stay on Grindstone Island. The island had much to offer and was centrally located in the heart of the 1,000 Islands. The farmhouse had everything we needed to make our stay enjoyable. We hope to return!
