The property was such a nice little cozy place. Right on the water, with access, with the sound of the waves every night. The property is a little secluded just with the general area it is in, but there’s a market a little down the road and just about a 20 min drive to Watertown.

Relaxing week away

We loved staying here! The home is beautiful, clean and updated. It is centrally located to many Thousand island towns, which we visited. We loved relaxing on the deck and the rocks for the waves, sunsets, and fishing. There was only one bad part having to leave! A grill, firepit and a raft would be bonuses. Mosquito zappers or citronella candles are much needed.
The sky offered a different surprise every night ❤️🌅
Wonderful coffee spot!

Beautiful and relaxing!

What a great place! Beautiful property - great view- so relaxing! The property is exactly as described and shown in the pictures! It is super clean and has everything you need for an enjoyable stay. We had busy days traveling to the other small towns in the area but loved coming back to the house to relax on the deck overlooking the water. The host Samantha is very responsive although we really didn't need anything from her. Check in was easy and convenient. If you are traveling to this area, you should consider renting this home!

I had a wonderful two week stay at the Chalet on Black Bay. My host was responsive and helpful. The home was comfortable and well maintained. The home is directly on the water. I could look through the sliders and image I was floating in a boat...that is how close to the water it is. My family and friends who visited all said this cottage was the best one yet that I've rented in the past.This home offers a beautiful sunrise view. I loved that. I'm a early riser. It was also close to the town of Dexter which offered just about any needs...especially the ice cream stand. This one is at the top of my list for next summer!
