Another beautiful 4 day birthday fishing trip at jolly island great fishing an great place to stay everything you need is there but the food can’t wait till next yr
Had a great wkend at Jolly island great accommodations great host an great fishing! Great place to get away
We had a fun & relaxing time on Jolly Island mid-August. It was our first time staying on the St. Lawrence river and I would highly recommend it. The property owner Hayes was super responsive and the property offers incredible views of the river, basketball hoop, tennis court and a sand volleyball court. The main house is a bit rustic and was built circa 1930 and updated over the years but it was exactly what 9 fishing buddies were looking for and we'll be back again in the next year or two.
Our group of 10 aging Fishermen had another awesome week at Jolly Island. Great location to get away while being close enough to civilization if you need something you can't live without. Property is awesome, we had one spectacular sunset after another to cap off long days of fishing. Hosts are awesome as well, quickly responding to questions with great communication throughout. We look forward to heading back there again next year!
Another great week at jolly. The fishing was excellent. The accommodations satisfactory and will come again.
The location was amazing. The new dock was well made and easily accommodated our two boats, one a 25 ' pontoon we rented from Clayton Marina ( great people to work with) and my 21' bass boat. The camp its self was in good shape and well laid out. The refrigerator was pretty neat. The memorabilia throughout the camp was interesting.
I have read some of the reviews before booking and I’m glad I ignored most of them that were negative. Will probably book again next year. The property has character and enough room to roam. Just to be real my party was made up of myself and 4 other guys. We have all grown up together and have know each other for 60 years. Fishing was fun. Rooms were acceptable. Rented a boat from Clayton marina. Also very nice people. Communication with the owner/ manager were spot on.
For each of the past 2 summers, our family has had the privilege of spending 10 days on Jolly Island. In summary, we love Jolly Island and cannot say enough positive things about our experiences there. Swimming, kayaking, paddleboarding, sailing, basketball, tennis, croquet, hiking, or just relaxing and watching the boats go by - Jolly Island has it all and then some. And it doesn't hurt that the surrounding area offers so much. It would be very difficult to find a place equal to Jolly, particularly when it comes to enjoying time with family and friends, and making memories. It clearly has been and is a very special place for the family that owns it. We cannot recommend Jolly Island highly enough and look forward to a few if not many more stays in the coming years.

We were disappointed in the house. The refrigerator did not keep things cold enough, and it took two days to get the oven to the correct temperature, there was a freezer off the walk in basement living quarters which at night was not an easy treck. We had to go outside to enter all the bedrooms and they were not clean. The living room was okay, there were ten of us there and not enough comfortable seating. The tennis court and basketball court has a lot be desired. The showers did not drain well. The screens are all in bad shape, we understand that there will be bugs, but we do not have to help them out. The day before we left the outside maintenance team showed up to do lawn work, the girls were out sunbathing and there were people napping. What if we of not been at the house, there is no way to lock any of the doors, and we all had cash and other items in our bedrooms. The owner was very quick to get back to us when we had issues. There is so much potential in this place, it could be beautiful!!
Worthy of unesco heritage designation. Spectacular rain or shine. Bring extra firewood for the fireplace. Be patient with the Aga stove which takes 5 hours to preheat. Owners very responsive to queries and needs
