Sparrow Cottage @ The Ledges Resort & Marina

The Ledges Resort & Marina is right in the heart of the 1000 Islands. We have ten cottages spread across six acres of landscaped grounds along the St. Lawrence River. There are views of the Boldt Castle, Sunken Rock Lighthouse, and the main shipping channel. Throughout the property you will find many beautiful spots to relax, read a book, take a walk, and fish. While the grounds provide privacy and lots of space, we are not in a remote location. There is a public park with a playground and basketball court on our street. And it’s an easy walk to downtown Alexandria Bay. There you will find plenty of shopping, restaurants, and entertainment.

The Ledges has a large in-ground swimming pool and lounge area. There is a gazebo overlooking Boldt Castle. Each cottage has its own fire-pit where you can warm up under the stars. We even provide free firewood!. We also have free kayaks and canoes for our guests. If you bring a boat, we have dockage available. If you don’t have your own boat, we have boat rentals on site. We also offer private boat charters on a classic wood 1957 Lyman. The Ledges is your gateway to all that The St. Lawrence river and Thousand Islands has to offer!


This listing is for the Sparrow Cottage. It is a beautiful one-bedroom, one-bath cottage designed for two people. There is a living room and full kitchen. The bathroom is fully tiled and has a curb-less walk-in shower. Outside there is an attached deck with a gas grill and outdoor dining area. Next to the deck is your own private firepit.

* IMPORTANT NOTES:
Dogs are allowed. There is a $35 PER NIGHT/PER PET fee. Adding pets to your reservation through VRBO does not add the pet fee automatically. The pet fee will be added and charged separately after the reservation is confirmed. Pets must be leashed, cleaned up after, and kept off furniture.

Boat dockage can be added to a reservation for $2 per foot/per night. Personal watercraft dockage can be added for $20 per night. Power and water are available at all docks. We have plenty parking for boat trailers. There is a free public boat launch less than one mile from us.

The house was the perfect getaway for my husband and I! Clean and so nicely decorated! We loved sitting outside by our bonfire. The location was great. Very close to restaurants, cute river towns and the river tours to the Boldt Castle. Definitely would recommend. Karen and Art. Chesterfield NJ

Sparrow

Very nice cottage. We would return to the same location. Only improvement that needs done is the holes in the driveway. Very very bumpy. Very quiet and we enjoyed the fire pit and view of the water. Even saw some freighters go by.

Modern cottage in lovely surroundings

We loved this place. Sparrow cottage is brand new with modern furnishings. The kitchen is compact but had everything we needed. Pretty bathroom and bedroom. The unit feels like a modern hotel room with the benefit of a kitchen and beautiful outdoors. Each cottage has its own fire ring which is stocked everyday with firewood, situated on a large open grassy area. There is a marina on the property which partially blocks the river view, but we enjoyed watching the boats. The owners were friendly and responsive - we reached them by text and they always responded right away. This is a super cute place, I will definitely come again.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at "Sparrow" cottage. It was very clean and just the right size for the two of us. The entire property at The Ledges was kept up with the utmost of care. Situated by the docks made just sitting and watching boats and birds a delight. The location is very near the downtown area where all the restaurants and shops are. If you want to get away from it all and unwind, this is the place for you!Thank you, Amy and Nick!

Beautiful little hideaway

My wife and I were staying in Alexandria Bay for one night and this was a beautiful little private hideaway. The room was pristine and excellently decorated. Everything was great. We got to the property after dark, in the rain, so we didn't avail ourselves of any of the amenities, but the cottage was very easy to find. I highly recommend The Ledges.
