SLR River Retreat: 1000 islands- Winter Specials

This stay was a homecoming for me, since my parents had lived right on the St. Lawrence, and nearly the entirety of my late mom's family still live nearby. The area is largely agricultural, with many dairy farms and green pastures. It is a truly beautiful part of NY State and we were very much looking forward to getting back there to visit. We were not disappointed. The property is very nice -- extremely clean and well maintained, with a GREAT bed! The property owner, Ali,is extremely pleasant and was more than helpful. Since he lives above the property he was readily accessible through the contact number. When we found that the coffee machine was not working on our first morning, he provided us with another machine within a few hours. My only issues with the property were that the drain in the shower always backed up and that it was also quite cold in the bathroom (more on this below), so we only showered a few times. We never reported the blocked drain, which I realize now we should have done. Heat for the entire property, which is quite large, with the bathroom located quite far from the heat source, was provided by one very large (propane) gas space heater, which scared me somewhat because of an odd-looking -- repair?-- on the heater's gas supply line. I don't know what can be done about the cold bathroom; I will mention it to Ali. Nevertheless, a wonderful stay in a very clean, nice space with a GREAT bed! I can only recommend a stay here!

Was much larger than I thought it would be. It has all the amenities you need for a nice stay. The bed was the best I have ever slept in. It was clean and well cared for. There were books and board games available. We loved this studio apartment! Would stay again and would recommend it to anyone looking to stay in the area.

I had such a quiet and relaxing stay with a wonderful view of the river. Worth every penny!

The house itself is nice and roomy for our group of 3 and a dog. Can tell that it is fairly newly renovated. The owner was very responsive when I had questions. Giving it 3 stars due to the fact that the grass was very high. I was nervous for ticks on us as well as our dog. The beachfront area isn’t useable. We walked down to let our dog swim and as she was in the water and our 6 year old was playing we noticed glass and a bunch of rusty nails. It looked like someone previously had a fire down there and never cleaned up. The grill also had dirty used utensils on it when we went to use it. We really wanted a yard to play in and water to safely walk into for our child and dog.
