About this house rental
Welcome to your Thousand Islands getaway! Situated on a private one-acre waterfront lot in historic Westminster Park on Wellesley Island, this charming six-bedroom cottage comfortably sleeps up to 13 guests and offers beautiful views of iconic Boldt Castle across the water.
Our family has owned and cherished this cottage for more than 50 years. Over the decades, it has been the setting for family reunions, fishing trips, sunset boat rides, and countless summer memories. We are delighted to share this special place with our guests.
Unlike many Thousand Islands destinations, Wellesley Island is accessible by car, making travel easy and convenient. The property sits in a protected bay with a private dock and excellent opportunities for swimming, fishing, boating, kayaking, and relaxing by the water.
One of the home's most beloved features is its enormous screened-in porch – nearly 50 feet long and wrapping around the side of the house. Whether you're enjoying your morning coffee, reading a book, playing games with family, or gathering for an evening meal, the porch is where many guests spend most of their time.
The cottage offers plenty of room for extended families and groups, with two large living rooms, six bedrooms, and two full bathrooms.
Alexandria Bay, with its restaurants, shops, boat tours, mini golf, and attractions, is just a short trip away – approximately 5–10 minutes by boat or 15–20 minutes by car.
The charming river town of Clayton, home to the renowned Antique Boat Museum, is only about 25–30 minutes by boat or 20–25 minutes by car.

**Additional Information**
• Optional linen service (sheets and bath towels) is available through our local property manager for $225 per stay. Payment is made directly to her after booking.
• Dogs are welcome with a pet fee of $300 per dog per week.
Please note: We do not advertise or rent this property through Craigslist. Please be cautious of scams.
Whether you're boating to Alexandria Bay, touring Boldt Castle, fishing from the dock, exploring the islands, or simply enjoying a summer evening on the porch, this waterfront cottage offers the authentic Thousand Islands experience that families return to year after year.

What a beautiful family home/camp. We appreciated the easy access to the River… the spaciousness of the house…how clean and organized it was… everything you could want or need is provided by the host! We made so many wonderful memories! This was a family trip (3 generations) which we will forever cherish! We would love to return next year.

We had a wonderful time.

So many Pros: Great location! Loved the area. First time my dog could easily access the river from all the previous places we stayed. First time I’ve ever seen the Milky Way & it was so beautiful. Amazing porch with view of the river. We even took naps on the outside bed. Bring your own folding chairs as there is a great dock to sit on & watch the sun rise. Very relaxing!
6 / 10Average·Sep 2019
Setting was lovely. House big and roomy.
While it was neat the baseboards and windows were filthy. Every corner and baseboard covered with dirt. The kitchen counters, sinks and showers were clean.
We loved the big screen porch with plenty of seating. The views were terrific. If we go again I would request a thorough cleaning first. My dealing with the owner was great. He was very accommodating.
