Perfect Family Vacation

Our family rented this beautiful house for the second summer in a row. It’s wide open interior allows for everyone to spread out, while enjoying the comfort of central air conditioning on hot summer days. A favorite spot is the front porch, where you can sit and watch the ships go by. Can’t wait to go back! Nancy B

Loved the view of barges and wildlife!

We really enjoyed this house with its view of the channel. We were able to dock a boat we rented and travel to Boldt Castle within a few minutes. We also enjoyed Wellesley Island State Park and Thousand Island Park that are just 10 minute drive from the house. The house has nice appliances and provides everything you need for a comfortable vacation.

One of the most beautiful cottages I have stayed in.

Loved the cottage, it was spacious, very clean, really comfortable. We were 14 of us including kids and this cottage is a place to be if you are planning a thousand islands vacation. Jerry and Janet were very friendly and made us feel comfortable. The place is scenic during the day and night. A trip to remember couldn't ask for more. I would highly recommend it!!!!!

Great Place for Family Vacation

My husband and I rented this location for a week with our grown children and grandchildren. We had a great time. The children were able to swim and fish off the dock. We rented a pontoon boat and easily boated to surrounding places of interest. Even though it's right on the main channel, the cottage is located in a small bay so we could paddle around on kayaks and paddle boards out of the way of the main boat traffic.

Wellesley Island Gem

Our extended family enjoyed a wonderful reunion at this beautifully appointed home. Jerry and Janet thought of everything to make guests feel comfortable and welcomed, and they answered any questions we had immediately. The location was perfect, and we enjoyed watching the ships pass by from the large front porch. We have already booked a return visit for next year, as we all agreed that this house is truly a Wellesley Island gem.

The best of everything in the 1000 Islands!

From the moment we contacted Janet and Jerry about renting a year ago to the moment we left our rental, we had a fantastic experience. The home is brand new and gorgeous - luxury accommodations, plenty of room for a large group, stunning views of the river, and amazing perks outside (the dock, outdoor kitchen including the grill, a lot of seating options on the multiple decks and outdoor patios sets, play area, etc.). The owners have thought of everything to make guests comfortable, including providing linens, a/c when needed, a stocked kitchen with all of the bells and whistles, and those fancy bathrooms! Wow. Janet and Jerry were always available for questions. We've been staying on Wellesley Island for years and this was our favorite rental by far for so many reasons. We will definitely be returning! Thanks so much, Woods family!

Great location but very greedy owner

We stayed 3 nights and 3 days at this cottage perfectly located on Wellesley island. This place has a beautiful waterfront and his well equipped to accommodate guests but isn't new and needs some refreshments. In fact, we feel that the owner used unjustified reasons to keep our deposit (greater than the rate of 1 night) to maybe fund future renovations. The owner claimed extra cleaning charges for leaving the BBQ dirty and a spill in the oven to justify keeping our deposit while we had already pay for cleaning charges initially. Greedy and not recommended practices make us discourage anyone who would consider renting this place.
Response from VrboOwner on 17 March 2020
We expect our home would be treated with the same level of dignity and respect that one would give to their home. We do not expect the property to be put to shame. The cleaning service is provided so that our tenants can have a relaxing getaway without having to worry about picking up crumbs or leaving smudges on windows or even about doing laundry. They clean counters, vacuum, do the linens, make all of the beds, and other cleaning. When they arrived, they found that the bottom of the grill was coated in layers of chicken mixed with bones and barbeque sauce, and the rest of the grill was coated with barbecue sauce and maggots. After great effort in cleaning it, we found that the burners had such a coating from this that they would no longer light. In addition, the oven was coated too in a layer of food that even after using the self-clean, the cleaning lady had to spend an hour scraping it all off. Lastly, we provide each tenant with a pile of firewood that has lasted everyone throughout the entire summer. It is checked to make sure there is enough left before each tenants arrival, and there was a little over half of the pile still left. After only three nights with a group of only five people, this tenant managed to use the entire stack. The tenant then proceeded to go into one of our latched sheds that we have for personal use and emptied it of its contents. This shed contained the equivalent of a cord and a half of special wood that I kept separate for my personal use. I am an avid woodcarver and use that wood for my carvings that I have used to decorate our homes. This is why it was separated from the rest and latched to keep it closed as well as to keep others out. It is physically impossible to have burned through that much wood in a three-day span. We do not wish to cause conflict or problems with our tenants; we only hope that you enjoy your stay. The reason we kept the security deposit, which is the same amount of money for each and every tenant, is because we will need to purchase new wood to replace what was lost from my private collection. Also, we will need to purchase new burners for the grill. We provide our phone number prior to your stay in case you have any questions or problems. Also, we call to check in with you periodically to see how you are enjoying your stay. All of our tenants have always had an outstanding stay and experience. We hope that one poor review will not discourage others from having a great experience.

4/10 Poor

Sorry it wasn't perfect, but could have been!

The house was enjoyable on the inside all brand new from being rebuilt from the fire. The outside was in need of work. It was hard to get into Kayaks because the floating dock had a horrible old row boat on it. The yard needed work but that was due to construction. The owner has cameras placed on his big expensive boat that takes up the driveway that you are not allowed to use. I received a text on the third day of vacation from the owner threatening to throw us out of the house because we broke a rule about the driveway. Sorry! The cars were moved immediately and he asked to be called. I phoned him and he proceeded to yell at me on the phone for 3 minutes. I will express again he YELLED at me. This of course but a damper on our vacation for about 24 hours. I received my security deposit 35 days after check out. They said the check was in the mail and must have gotten lost. The owners were away at the time and had no banking information with them. I find this hard to believe with all our smart phones and computers. Wrong! My husband and I were VRBO owners for 5 years and I can assure you we would have done everything possible to get our renters their money. While staying at this house we wired a tenant money owed and paid the charge. This is how it should be done! Even if rule number 6 out of 20 was broken you don't need to YELL at someone. The location is nice. You may want to bring an umbrella for the tables at the dock, it is too hot to sit down there.

Response from VrboOwner on 17 March 2020
I am sorry you felt that way. NEVER have I ever yelled at a guest. The driveway they your speaking of was a construction entrance for large trucks to get into the property while rebuilding the house after the fire. We had a gate across it, we also had large logs blocking it with signs that said DO NOT PARK. It was only stones and had not been paved , therefor it was not safe to use. It had nothing to do with my boat parked there. We have security cameras because we are 7 hours away. 3/4 of our yard is fully enjoyable and was never touched by construction equipment and is professional maintained. There is a floating dock with a 16 foot row boat that I give to guests to use. We have 96 feet of dock with a corner Kayak access. We have lost so many umbrellas in the river from guest putting them up and leaving for the day, that we decided against replacing them. We do have two covered porches that you can enjoy and watch the ships go by in the shade. The check we sent out to you 7 days after your checkout. When you called us we were at our home in Florida for a week. As I stated to you I will check with the bank and if its not cashed will put a stop payment and reissue a check, which we did. You did not contact me to let me know you never received it until 25 days after your stay.
