It was by far the best experience we've had at this type of resort. The cottage was perfect and the grounds are perfect for relaxing around a campfire. Would definitely stay there again
Nice place to stay. It's a couple of blocks from the center of town and quite a walk but you can drive into town quite easily. Just hard to find parking in town during the busy season

Beautiful property! Great place to stay!
We stayed in Boathouse 2 and it was just the cutest place. Very clean and has all of the amenities you need. It's within walking distance of all the shops and restaurants it's dog friendly! You can actually see Boldt Castle from the property! Amy and Nick, the proprietor, are so nice and helpful. Definitely stay here.

Kristen,
Thank you so much for taking the time and leaving us a really nice review. It means so much to us and makes us happy knowing you enjoyed your stay. We hope to see you again!
Kind regards,

We had a rough year and we’re in much need of some quiet relaxation. This cottage was perfect for us. The owners and staff were exceptional! I think it will be an annual event for us.
This beautiful location on the river is a beautiful perfect spot for intimate getaways or a family vacation! I booked 4 locations as the Ledges Resort which housed 24 of my friends and family for a long weekend. We were all quite impressed with the staff, amenities, and overall experience. We walked to Main Street for dinner almost every night during our stay.

Nice clean quiet place to stay
Very nice comfortable cottage. Everything you need to spend a few days or longer! Nice view of Boldt Castle at night. Fun to watch the boats in and out of the marina. Would definitely recommend for couples or families. Very attentive owners who are there to address any concerns

This was our first time to A Bay and the Ledges and we loved it. We stayed in the Island cottage and we used the outdoor kitchen almost the entire time we were there because it was so incredible. The grounds are impeccably kept and the owners are super nice. We used the kayaks and hammocks but didn’t have enough time to use the unground pool this time! It was a cute, simple, affordable getaway that left us with not much else to do but have a good time and we soooooo look forward to going back!

Nice relaxing stay at the Ledges
My Wife and I had the pleasure of staying at the Ledges for a 2 night stay 10/14 and 15. What a wonderful place. It was clean and out host was very gracious and professional. We appreciated the treats and coffee that was there for us upon arrival. The Ledges is in a spectacular location with a real cool view of the Boldt Castle - something I HIGHLY recommend checking out. The Ledges was very cozy and I strongly suggest staying here during a visit to 1000 Islands. While there - do take a tour of Uncle Sam's Boat tours. To the Ledges - Thank you for making our visit to the 1000 Islands a great and memorable experience. We hope to come back sometime soon!
PS - we loved our visits from Harriet the Cat.

Great location, great people, very relaxing
This was our first trip to the Thousand Islands area of New York and we couldn't have asked for a better place to stay for our week away. My wife and I are busy professionals and we enjoyed the ability to relax in this very comfortable and laid-back location. You can't be much closer to the St. Lawrence river unless you are actually in it. We also enjoyed hanging out by the pool one afternoon.
We stayed in Boathouse #1. Having the kitchen allowed us to make meals that we would take outside to enjoy at the dock tables, under the shade of the large trees, or in one of the two gazebos while watching the activity on the St. Lawrence river. Even without the kitchen we could have used one of the multiple community grills to cook on which we did one evening. Clean towels, wash-cloths, linens, body-wash were provided. There was a TV with satellite in the living room and the bedroom.
We walked into downtown Alexandria Bay on numerous occasions to catch a boat tour of the islands, to visit Boldt Castle, to shop, have lunch or dinner in a local restaurant, etc. A number of restaurant choices exist and the Uncle Sam boat tours offer a range of tours to select from.
Nick and Amy were very friendly and were eager to lend a hand or provide answers to questions about the area if needed. There are also a few season-long guests who are very friendly and make this a welcoming place to spend time.
I would definitely recommend staying here, bring your watercraft and enjoy what the property and the St. Lawrence river has to offer!
One helpful hint: bring the phone number when you check in and give it a call when you arrive. Nick or Amy will meet you and give you the keys and the details.

We are so happy you enjoyed your stay. It was great to meet both of you and Amy and I hope to see you again. Thank you!
Island Cottage is basically an efficiency apartment for two best suited for the warmer months, if you plan to do your own cooking. There us heat and it works well so when eating out the property would work for all seasons. The kitchen area (stove, grill, small fridge, supplies) is on a covered but not screen in porch. There is a small kitchenette inside with a microwave, coffee pot and another small fridge. Management was responsive to reported problems and were on top of them quickly. When we arrived, we discovered that the small fridge on the porch was running but not cooling. It was replaced with a functioning unit mid-week. Given the odd size of the fridge this is impressive. They also offered the use of a Yetti cooler and ice until they could install the new unit. Friendly and fery customer service minded. The property is well groomed with lots of yard area. There are fire pits behind each cottage/cabin. There is a small area with a couple of chairs where guests can sit at the water front between two neighboring private properties. The view of the shipping channel from this cottage is over the top of the boats in the marina. Not impossible/not perfect. The gazebo on the ledge or the area by the shore mentioned above provide a better view. The addition of some play ground equipment might make the area a bit more child friendly. There are some cottages away from the water for those who find that a concern.
We loved staying here! The island cottage is perfect for a weekend getaway away. My husband and I enjoyed docking our boat just feet away from the cottage. It is very close to all of the attractions. We will definitely be returning! Thank you
