Great time on the river
The home is clean and the kitchen has everything you need to cook. Property owners attentive and easy to talk to. We rented the boat they had available and it was a must to get around and see the beauty of the river. You can walk into town from the property which is nice. Would recommend this home.

Carnegie Bay Cottage
Such a beautiful place for our family to be together for a week. The cottage easily accommodated our combined family of 13. It was clean and well stocked with everything needed for cooking and playing games. The sleeping arrangements were perfect with plenty of bathrooms for a big group. The area is very charming with a cute town within walking distance. The owners quickly responded to all of my questions. We really enjoyed our time there and hope to return someday!

Great Family Vacation
The house was great! Beautiful and well appointed. Pictures are spot on. Everyone had their own space and were able to be together without feeling like we were on top of each other. Location is ideal, short walk to Alex Bay and very near Golf Course. The owners were great to deal with and very responsive throughout our stay. Would highly recommend!

Fantastic Family Vacation
This house was perfect for our needs. We had 12 people and everyone had their space. It was very clean and well equipped, especially the kitchen. The boat dock was important to us and we couldn't have asked for it be more convenient. The kayaks were used almost daily as was the fire pit. There are lots of chairs available for sitting on the deck or around the fire pit. Great location for walking into town. It's obvious that Paul and Sue take pride in their property. Paul was very responsive when we had questions. A very pleasant experience all around.

Perfect Family Retreat
This property is beautiful and exactly as advertised. It is spacious and clean with everything you would ever need. We only went out one night because it was easier to stay in and everything we needed to cook was at our disposal. Plenty of room for boats and the surroundings are very bucolic. Just a 15 minute walk into town. Highly recommend and looking forward to staying again next year,

The property was all and more of what was advertised. Very clean, spacious inside and out, and a load of amenities. Property owner was very helpful and always available by text or phone if necessary. We did not need a lot of contact with the owner. They really laid everything out nicely. Accessibility to downtown Alexandria Bay was super easy. Take a boat, five-minute ride by vehicle, or a very nice 15-minute walk into downtown! Would highly recommend this property!

Perfect Vacation and Great Experience
This property is not your typical "cottage", but a beautiful house. This home was everything that was advertised and more. This was the first time that I had rented a home for a family vacation, and I was extremely pleased with the entire experience. The home was very comfortable, and there was plenty of space for the 8 of us. It could easily accommodate 12 as advertised. The back deck was the perfect spot to relax and enjoy morning coffee and a glass of wine later in the day. The property manager/caretaker and owner were very easy to deal with. The property owner even called me to check in and make sure that everything was good. You can tell that the owner takes great pride in his property. I would certainly rent this property again and certainly recommend this house to others. 5Stars!!!

The house is clean and modern with a spacious living and dining room. The kitchen is incredibly well equipped with all manner of pots, pans, coffee makers, containers, and gadgets. The back lawn has plenty of room for games. The location is a narrow bay off the river which allows for easy docking of a boat. The owner was eager to make our week-long stay pleasant and enjoyable.

Wonderful accomodations and attention to detail!
We had seven people staying for four nights (four adults, three children) and the house was great. Every time someone thought we had forgotten something we found it already at the house (coffee filters, BBQ equipment, sandwich griller...). This house is easily accessible to downtown (less than two mile walk), nice bay area for kayaking, fishing off the dock, it is just a nice place all around. Beatiful deck for coffee in the morning, unwinding in the evening. Paul and the caretaker, Melody, were great as well. The house alarm went off the last night we were there and Paul called immediately to make sure everything was OK (which it was, it must have been a glitch in the system). Completely recommend this house if you are looking for a place in or around Alexandria Bay.
