About this property

Beautiful waterfront cottage where you feel like you can touch the ships.

This is a very special property that was built in the 1950's. The entire cottage has been updated while still keeping the original charm of a special getaway. A winding wooded driveway, which ends at the cottage, giving complete privacy from the street. Enter the cottage into a great room which is surrounded by windows and sliding doors giving a spectacular view of the St. Lawrence River. The kitchen recently renovated, has a full size refrigerator, conventional oven and an island all facing the open living and dining areas. A beautiful stone fireplace with a gas insert will add to the ambiance and keep it warm on cool nights. There is a large Smart TV in front of two comfortable leather couches. The cottage has 2 bedrooms on the main floor with an adorable loft above. The Master bedroom has it own 1/2 bath, Smart TV and a queen size bed that is facing the River. The cozy second bedroom has two twin beds. The loft features a pull down ladder for easy access to a charming area that easily sleeps two. The new washer / dryer are conveniently located in their own laundry room. Wake up to the sunrise while sitting on the spacious deck that feels like it is on top of the water. Enjoy the international ships that pass so close you feel like you could touch them. A St. Lawrence granite fire place is located at the waters edge with a picnic table, Adirondack chairs and a beautiful view of the 1000 Island Bridge.
Travel back and forth to the main land across the stunning 1000 Island Bridge using a bridge pass is included with your stay.

There is a sense of calm as soon as you walk in the door. Sit on the deck that has a very wide view of the river! Watch the ships as they glide passed you so close and quietly. This was my 3rd visit & can't say enough about the property or Susan and Carlos!!

Amazing home and views!
I have never stayed in a home that was so clean and well appointed. Perfect home for the 4 of us. The owners have everything you can imagine available at the home. The ships are so close that you can wave to them. Being in the narrows you see and enjoy everything going on, on the river. We enjoyed walks on the island and mainly lived on the deck. The owners made sure everything was perfect for our stay. If we had a question they responded quickly. They love their little slice of heaven and it shows! Our stay was amazing to say the least. The photos do not do the home justice.

Beautiful Wellesley Island Cottage
We had a wonderful week at this beautifully renovated Wellesley Island cottage. The views of the river were breathtaking and could be enjoyed from large windows inside the cottage as well as a variety of comfortable sitting areas outside. The nautical/americana style decorating was well thought out and added to the comfortable, homey feel. Carlos was so friendly and accommodating and took great care to make sure we were comfortable and enjoyed our stay. Thank you for sharing your beautiful vacation home and allowing us to create many special family memories! We hope to return next summer.
