Charming cottage on Chaumont Bay, pet friendly, kayaks, dock, ICE FISHING

Historic serene year round cottage located on Chaumont Bay just off of Lake Ontario in the beautiful North country! This is a 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom, 1400 sq. foot cottage that is great any time of the year with spectacular views of the lake. Perfect for a fall weekend getaway, some winter ice fishing, or a relaxing summer escape. Home includes 75 feet of lakefront shoreline with direct lake access. Dock access available in summer months (June-Sept weather permitting). Enjoy getting away from the hustle and bustle of daily life while sipping coffee on the deck overlooking the lake, or enjoy a quiet evening by the fire pit at sunset. Nearby town of Watertown approx. 20 min away, while smaller town of Chaumont only about 5 min from the home for last minute necessities, a convenience store, hardware/bait shop, gift shop, ice cream, and a few local restaurants. Public boat launches nearby in town of Chaumont (5-10 min away) and plenty of room in driveway to bring your boat and/or jetski. Enjoy popular nearby towns such as Sackets Harbor, Clayton, & Alexandria Bay (1000 islands region). Interior of home includes a quaint historic feel, large yard, and plenty of parking. Come enjoy the lake!

Upstairs bathroom- (shower/bath combo + toilet)

*Heat available in colder months, please note cottage does NOT have AC although ceiling fans throughout and in all bedrooms (more often than not you will get a wonderful breeze off the lake)

*Please note this is a rural area and the water in this home is from shore-well with lake water (rural area and city has not put in water yet to this area- but one perk is it keeps the tranquility and with less development/people!). The lake water is good for cooking, bathing, washing dishes, etc.. but I would not recommend drinking the water.
*Please bring drinking water and ice with you*

*MAX 6 guests please, including infants and children
*Home has direct lake access, shoreline is rocky. Please note children must be supervised at ALL times as there is direct water access

*1 well mannered dog okay with prior owner approval and paid pet fee of $125, 2 well mannered dogs okay with paid pet fee of $175. Must be over 1 year old, must clean up after pet in yard and keep off furniture. Please bring your own towels if dog will be swimming & wet. Please DO NOT use towels in home to dry off dog! Dogs must be fully dry before entering home. Additional cleaning fees will be charged if this not followed. Thank you for your help with this.

**There is 1 exterior camera on the property facing the lake. This is not monitored on a regular basis and solely there for security purposes.

*Minimum age requirement of 28 years old, driver license or photo ID required prior to arrival
*NO parties or large events, please (neighbors are close by and we want to be respectful of them).

The cottage was absolutely gorgeous and decorated very tastefully. The backyard was very nice with a fireplace and lawn chairs the view of Cherry Island and Point Salubrious was stunning with the trees changing colors. The view from the downstairs bedroom looking out at the lake was absolutely gorgeous. I would highly recommend renting this cottage. We had a great time vacationing there.

If you are looking to get away and relax, this is the place. A lovely older home with serene views. Very clean. Peaceful and relaxing. We had a great stay and I highly recommend; however, people need to know it’s an older home on well water. Those familiar with those types of well know the water has a distinct smell. Not a problem at all for us, but if you are sensitive to such things it might not be the right place for you.

Cozy cottage

My husband and I came to Carrie’s comfy cottage for the long weekend as my daughter was running the full marathon. The cottage was better than expected. It was clean, beds were comfortable. Kitchen well equipped and what a view and lake breeze. We would highly recommend this cottage. Very close drive into town to the restaurants and activities. we especially loved the fire pit, fire works and coffee on the dock watching the sunrise. Thank you Carrie for shot sharing your cottage within.

Quaker Cottage serenity

We truly enjoyed a purely blissful escape to Chaumont Bay at the cozy and comfortable Quaker Cottage from 8/13 to 8/16/24! The hosts were very accommodating and replied to questions quickly. Very well stocked kitchen! The beautiful breezes and peaceful sounds of the water were just what we needed... Our dog, Gracie, enjoyed herself, too! Great location with small stores and restaurants nearby. Clayton and Cape Vincent are a short drive in either direction on 12E with great views of the mighty St Lawrence! Remember to visit Tibbett's Point Lighthouse while in the area. The perch bites at the Crescent Restaurant are fabulous! Thank you, Carrie and Flynt, for sharing your sweet retreat with us! We hope to return in the near future! 😊 Karen & Dan

Thoroughly enjoyable!

The 1920s house is very charming and well updated with nice porches on the front and back. There is plenty of lawn for activities, hanging around the fire pit, etc. There is always a nice breeze, the lake is crystal clear with a nice dock and raft to swim out to. The Quaker Cabin comes with all kinds of watercraft but I brought my own 18 foot kayak and had no problem launching and paddling around Cherry Island, up The Chaumont River, etc. Hoping to return next year!

Wonderful, Peaceful Cottage

Our family had so much fun at Quaker Cottage! It’s such a beautiful and peaceful little spot. We spent the days outside fishing, kayaking, watching the sunrise/sunset and laughing at the ducks that stayed nearby. Not even the rain could stop my boys from fishing. The neighbors are very nice and the road wasn’t too busy so it was easy to take our dog for longer walks. The location is great because you’re just a couple minutes away from the country store if you need anything. There’s a sign in one of the bathrooms that says “heaven is a little closer in a home by the water” and we definitely felt that :) We hope to be back in the future!
