No central air

The house and location were absolutely beautiful! There are a few things i could complain about and the major problem was no central air like the listing claims. They have A/Cs in the bedrooms. But the living room and dining area have no cooling systems. When i asked the property owner about the central air they said that the didn’t have any and then let us know they had a fan. The fan was a small oscillating fan that didn’t help cool it down. We had to bring the A/C from the downstairs bedroom to the dining room throughout the day so that it was cooler in the main areas. Back in the bedroom at bedtime. Also this house claimed to be kid friendly but didn’t have any kids toys and the back porch was open leaving the kids open to run down the hill and stairs to the dock. They did have a little inclosed area that i assume would be for pets to use the bathroom… not really for kids.The bathrooms… upstairs bathroom was disgusting, the shower vent was nasty and moldy. The downstairs bathroom(master) the shower and tub were disgusting and moldy. The jacuzzi tub didn’t work and the jets were also very disgusting and dirty. The bedroom with the king bed smelled of mildew and mold. The air filter is the a/c was absolutely awful. We had to clean it and open the windows to air it out. The house was a little over priced if you ask me since there in fact was no central air. But the view and being on the lake made it somewhat worth it.

Ice Fishing Trip 2025

We were excited to ice fish the famed Chaumont Bay for trophy walleye. Unfortunately the fishing didn't go as planned. The house was great, very clean and comfortable for our group. There was a minor issue with the boiler that the manager solved very quickly. I would definitely stay here again if the fishing was better. If you are headed there to ice fish, you should be aware that access to the water from the cottage is via a set of narrow stairs, and getting a shanty to the back yard is probably not possible. A jet sled fits, but you will struggle with anything wider. The kids did some fishing out in front of the cottage by carrying their equipment down, but for our trips onto the main Chaumont Bay we drove over to the state launch and left from there. Parking at the cottage is tight, with just enough room for 4 vehicles. The snow banks wouldn't allow for on-street parking of any additional vehicles.

Perfect for a large family!

Cottage was fully stocked.The house was big enough for a large family. Several games to keep the family busy on a rainy day. The host was great with communication. There was an issue with one of the showers and the host communicated immediately before we arrived to try and fix the issue. He did have to come back to work on the shower but was very polite to ensure he was not bothering us during our stay. The issue was resolved. Beds were comfortable. Are family had a good time. Close restaurants, ice cream stand. Great location to the Thousand Islands.

Get-away on the Bay

We enjoyed the back deck immensely - lots of room and beautiful peaceful views. The house had most everything we needed but is unique in layout. There is an ensuite downstairs, with the other three bedrooms up a narrow stairway that may be difficult for some to navigate (it was interesting to get the luggage up). Location is nice – just outside a small town, within easy reach of lots of sites and adventures. All in all, we enjoyed our stay, and would stay there again.

Nice place

We enjoyed our stay. The house was very clean and comfortable. We stayed in the downstairs bedroom so I can’t speak to the upstairs rooms but the downstairs bedroom has a super comfortable bed, super soft sheets, and a great AC unit! So we were cool and comfy. As others have mentioned the house is older but the owners have definitely done a number of upgrades. Indeed the ceilings are low and there are steps up and down throughout. I would call the house ‘quirky’ — in a good way. I enjoyed trying to envision what the original structure looked like and how it has evolved. It was a great location for our stay in Thousand Islands.

Missed the Mark

This property missed the mark for us.There was a plumbing issue that we were told about prior to arrival. Upstairs shower was inoperable for the first night. Plumber was in and out the next day. Subsequent leak in kitchen ceiling caused by repair leaving whole in ceiling and water all over floor. It happens.We cleaned it up. Owner was responsive. Plumber came directly. That said, the listing states central AC. Thermostats on the walls do not work. AC units in each bedroom tell me that is the way it is.Listing should be corrected. If you are staying during warm weather be warned common ares are extremely hot. Musty, mildew smell upon check-in along with lots of flies. Bathrooms are very outdated; fixtures and lighting are cheap. Pillows and mattresses are cheap and overused. Tricky steps throughout property. Watch out! Ceilings are very, very low throughout most of house. Watch your head. In upstairs shower most grown men could not shower without bowing head. I had to watch my elbows when shampooing. I realize it is an older home, so you decide if all of that is "part of the charm." Some red flags in terms of cleanliness made me uneasy. Box fan in living room was full of crud and dust, in-house recycling bins had black mold in bottom, kitchen cabinets were a bit sticky with grime. Needs a good scrub from top to bottom. Simple little things need attention.Overused items need to be replaced. Location,bikes,kayaks, large deck,private yard, were wonderful.

Excellent stay in Chaumont Bay

A great weekend getaway for my young family visiting relatives in the north country. The house was clean, rooms were HUGE (especially considering the age of the house) and the location was fantastic. House well is equipped for children - pack & play, mini high chair, 2 roll-a-way beds, water playset and much more. The best part may have been the custom baby gate that can be attached to the balcony to keep kids from heading to the dock alone. For adults who can appreciate a 150yr old house, there was a bunch of charm. Again, there was no shortage of square feet - the house was enormous. The owners seem to put a lot of thought into what visitors might need in the kitchen, bathroom, etc. the house was very nicely appropriated. Thanks for a great stay, we will be back!
