A cozy, comfortable, clean, well stocked home away from home with all those little things that made it easy for us to enjoy our stay. Just down the road from a beautiful lake that was perfect for boating and fishing.
We stayed 3 nights. It was a great short getaway. I would definitely go again.
The apartment was clean and well furnished. It has all the comforts of home; hair dryer, microwave, k-cup brewer, a desk with paper, games, DVDs, and a medicine cabinet filled with anything you may have forgotten/need. My son loved the snack basket and candy dishes! We would definitely stay here again!
Very enjoyable stay. Well stocked with essentials, coffee, bath supplies, clean
Four night kayak fishing trip. Indian River Lakes. My brother and another buddy with me. It was the perfect getaway for us. A quarter mile from Butterfield Lake launch! Within 20 minutes of about 15 different lakes. (Many within 10!) we had a Ram pickup, a cartop, and a Subaru pulling a single trailer with a Hobie PA14 on it. Parking was easy, and care free. I hate to use the word campy, but to me, thats how it felt. That, sigh of relief, park your truck on the grass, creaky floor welcome, flipped my mind straight into relax mode. Everything Dee said in listing is true. She had snacks and fruit available for us. 2 sets of keys. Place decorated in fishing motif. Little patio set outside became our rigging station. Fire pit that was left unused by my group. Activity all around....four wheelers...trailered boats coming and going...never bothered us. Pub fare and bar 100 yards down the road. (Excellent burger! Perch fry on Friday was good as well!) Ice Cream stand next to that...gas station convenience store next. Walked to all and back easily. Fishing was great! Lakes are gorgeous! I LOVE islands that are just GIANT BOULDERS! Amazing. Just a wonderful stay!
It’s was very clean and well maintained we would recommend it to others
Comfortable, quaint, clean, quiet place to stay in this little hamlet. We will stay here again! Host is quick to respond. Apartment is cozy, warm, and inviting.
My father and his friends stayed for an annual fishing trip. As always Dee is on top of the ball getting back to me quickly with any questions or concerns! My father always raves about the location, the cleanliness, and how welcoming Dee and her family are. There are never any complaints and my family and I always enjoy staying with Dee!
The decor was perfectly fitting and appreciated for a fisherman’s getaway. Our host was very accommodating and left many many pleasantries throughout the apartment (snacks, beverages, dvds, menus, soaps and shampoo’s) - it was all great. The location is convenient for all the fishing you could ask for, plus trails, wineries, and a downtown scene. We would love to stay again!
The apartment was very clean and well stocked with amenities. The king size bed was very comfortable. Dee was easy to reach went needed. She is a very good host.
Dee and Bill have thought of everything. Decorated in fun and lively “beach cottage” fishing camp theme, Dee and Bill have made their rental user-friendly beyond your wildest imagination. Compact bathroom fully stocked with blow dryer, shampoos, conditioners, bath washes, soaps, large fluffy washcloths and towels, first aid kit, even sewing kit in medicine cabinet! Setting up and connecting my 17” HP Pavilion laptop Kindle Fire tablet to the WiFi was hassle-free. Dining table, 4 chairs, full-size cabinet w/literature, maps about area attractions. Very comfortable nap-worthy overstuffed chair, matching hassock and sleepable sofa, rollaway bed tucked in closet area. Tons of movie CDs, games for kids, magazines, etc. for a rainy day. Bedroom is large w/kingsize and single bed, luggage rack, closet with plenty of hangers. Window A/C but we only used it a couple of nights as the weather cooled down at night to perfect sleeping temperature. Early morning light sweater or longsleeve shirt cool mellowing to ideal T-shirt temps during the day, no humidity. Neighbors, residents as small-town friendly and eager to help as Dee and Bill are. Well-stocked country store w/ deli & hot/cold sandwiches block and a half walk away, next to yummy ice cream/tacos/pizza setup. Post office block and a half walk, along w/great small-town thrift store, 2 churches within eyesight. Alexandria Bay 7 miles away w/Artesian Shop of local crafts and artwork and eyepopping custom-made hand-painted fishing lures, 1000 Bait Shop quick drive toward Clayton, Antique Boat Museum in Clayton, must-see Tibbitts Point Lighthouse (postcards, unique gift items) past Cape Vincent where St. Lawrence and Lake Ontario meet. We enjoyed sitting on the lawn with early-morning coffee as residents drove by and waved, and again in the afternoon and early evening as we unwound from casual take-our-time sightseeing. Oh, Butter Field Lake is at the end of a short steep drive down past the house (either good exercise or exhausting depending on your physical condition) and is well worth grabbing your binoculars and going down to sit on the boulders for a bit and enjoy the view. If you are an author or an artist, this would be the perfect peaceful rental to inspire your creative muse or try your hand at plein air painting at Butter Field Lake or anywhere along the St. Lawrence River. On a scale of 1 to 5, my husband and I give Dee and Bill a solid 6.
Overflow location for a nearby Family reunion. Denise couldn’t have been more hospitable!
Dee was great to do business with. The apartment was as described. I would recommend staying here in the quiet sleepy town to being downtown A-Bay. The bed was super comfortable, and we were able to take nice walks in the neighborhood. Ice cream was just minutes away. The kitchen was well stocked with everything you need to cook, except of course, the food. We'd come again.
Perfect for fishing at local lakes
