The host, Peggy, was wonderful to work with. The views are amazing and the property private. It felt like home. It was fairly close to grocery stores, etc., and we were able to do all of our other tours easily from where we were staying. You just cannot go wrong while staying at the St. Lawrence River.

The property is in a very quiet area on the St. Lawrence in view of ships but at an area of the river that is wide enough to enjoy on calm days by kayak and canoe. The land there has been kept ‘wild’, not manicured, so attracts more birds and natural residents. We saw a pair of swans, many ducks, geese and cormorants. The camp is rustic and is well equipped. The host is very responsive. We couldn’t use the docks, which had been damaged by rough weather but they are being replaced soon.

Cottage on the river

Small rustic cottage on the river. Very quiet and basic. Great communication with the owner.

Thanks Anne for taking the time to review your visit to the 1,000 Islands. Glad you were able to enjoy the peace & quiet you were looking for. A much needed respite. Unfortunately the weather wasn’t the best during your short stay. Our cottage is just that…a “cottage” as per the description provided. The 1,000 Islands is certainly an area to explore & enjoy! Happy future travels!

Relaxing and Memorable

The owner was a total pleasure to deal with from booking to checkout. This is a very cute cottage in a natural surrounding with a large porch to watch wildlife and freighters go by. Not a party place geared to embracing the serenity and natural beauty of 1000 islands.

A delightful cottage

Every room of this lovely private cottage overlooks the water, and the little bay is protected by Princess Island. A lovely view of the sunrise, passing boats and the perennial garden enlivened our days. The old growth forest provided calm and shade on the roadside. Evening fireflies added a magical touch. A true cottage, peaceful and celebrating Ontario's summer. Thank you!

The River is amazing.

This is a lovely rustic cottage but has all the perks you could want. Excellent view, great deck, well equipped kitchen. Comfy front room. Full bath (although the shower controls were a bit tricky). Bedrooms were as advertised and the loft space was well ventilated if the windows were open. Everyday we noticed the quiet. Lovely. On the downside, the deck could use some repair work, the dock was totally unusable and the trees could use a massive trim (they both block part of the excellent view and contribute to the mosquito problem we had each evening) Overall an excellent 2 weeks.

Thank-you Christopher for choosing our cottage during your time in the 1,000 Islands area. Yes, it definitely is a place that provides a private, quiet, peaceful, “back to nature” environment. Thanks for your feedback. So glad you had a lovely stay. FYI the tree trimming is booked for next week so that’s taken care of for all future bookings.

Great Base Camp for St Lawrence Fishing Trip

As an avid angler I seldom divulge my best fishing spots, however, Peggy and Peter were such gracious and accommodating hosts I felt compelled to let all my fellow fishermen in on one of the best locations on the St Lawrence River for fishing. For starters the cottage on the river is perfect for an extended stay. It is clean and comfortable with a great porch overlooking the water. It is minutes from numerous boat launches and is in the heart of some of the best fishing to be found on the St. Lawrence. Believe me, I have stayed at numerous VRBO's from Messena to Cape Vincent on the American side and several locations on the Canadian border and this location in Mallory town is without exception the best stay and best fishing that I have experienced to date. There was ample parking for my truck and boat and outside electrical for my battery charger. Peggy and Peter were outstanding hosts and I can't thank them enough for sharing their cottage. I will definitely be coming back.

Hi Lynn, Thank-you so much for the 5 star review & for also taking the time to post your experience while staying at our cottage. We are very glad the fishing was optimal & the cottage/ area exceeded your expectations. How wonderful to hear “Avalon Rest” topped your list!!! The Thousand Islands area of Mallorytown is sure special. We make it a point to provide our guests with the best stay at our family cottage. We want to thank-you for being such a respectful guest. You are welcome back any-time. We do hope to see you again! Cheers, Peter & Peggy

We had a lovely stay at this charming waterfront cottage! It’s clean and comfortable, and Peggy was communicative and helpful from check in to departure. The cottage is private and secluded, and very quiet. Although there is no dock, we were able to walk down the steps and right into the river to launch our paddleboards. It’s a lovely area for paddling with Jones Creek close by (much calmer than the St Lawrence and only a five minute paddle off the big river.) Paddleboarders should be aware that the conditions can change rapidly on the St Lawrence, and the wind can really pick up. Certainly didn’t stop us from going out but I wouldn’t recommend venturing out past the small islands, it’s much rougher and windier out there than in the bay. The screened in porch allows a lovely breeze and we enjoyed watching the boat traffic from the deck. With windows on three sides there is no need for air conditioning, there always seemed to be a breeze off the river. Absolutely perfect in the evenings. Location of the cottage is awesome if you’re looking to go hiking. Landon’s Bay, Jones Creek, and Mallorytown Landing hikes are close by. It’s a 15 minute drive into Brockville for everything you may need, and about a half hour from Gananoque if you’re interested in a boat cruise or kayak tour of the Islands. Overall I can’t recommend this cottage enough, it’s perfectly situated as a home base if you want to enjoy the activities in the area, or comfortable enough to just chill.

Tracy- you & Mike were the most gracious guests. You both certainly took advantage of the serenity of our cottage as well as the various outdoor activities that the surrounding area of the 1,000 Islands offer. You both were respectful of our cottage. Thanks for leaving it so clean & tidy! You are welcome back anytime!

Charming spot

A charming, rustic cottage set amongst the trees with a deck overlooking the river and a beautiful green island. Watching the abundant birdlife, Osprey, Eagles, Heron, Kingfishers, ducks... was a highlight! Lots of cycling and paddling destinations on the doorstep. Comfortable for 2 couples and the hosts, Peggy and Peter were warm, welcoming and helpful!

We are very happy you all enjoyed our cottage and took full advantage of the peaceful surroundings of the 1,000 Islands area as well as the trails, canoeing of Jone’s Creek and the bicycle path along the Pkwy/St. Lawrence river. “Avalon Rest” is our get-away and we love to share it’s beauty with others. You all were wonderful guests-thank you for caring for our cottage with utmost respect and cleanliness.

Wow!

I spent a week with my spouse and 5 year old. Peggy is incredibly sweet and communicated well so we knew exactly what to expect. She met us upon check in and showed us around. This is a cottage, no frills or gimmicks but well equipped and has one of the most incredible views. We spent our time swimming at a beach close by, boating, fishing and enjoying the outdoor space. The back deck has lots of space to hang out and we made use of the bbq provided. This place allowed us to disconnect and enjoy each other as well as the beautiful area of the 1000 islands. Don’t hesitate to book with Peggy!
