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.

Missing the Mark

We found this property to be missing the mark for sure. Great location, beautiful water views, games, new bath towels, wonderful bikes and kayaks, spacious outdoor deck with gas grill and ample dining and relaxing space. Great neighbors and private backyard. BUT...overall rundown, outdated and dirty. Beware. Listing says central AC but common areas are not air conditioned. Bedrooms have individual units. There are thermostats on wall but I guess it does not work. If you are expecting hot weather please be warned. Mildewy and musting smell throughout. Flies throughout inside upon arrival. Our family struggled with a plumbing issue that we were told about prior to check-in. Out of commission shower the first night, plumber in and out the next day and subsequent leak in kitchen ceiling the day after that. It happens. Filthy box fan, moldy recycling containers inside house, grimy kitchen cabinet doors. Made me wonder! In general, needs a really good cleaning top to bottom. Largest areas are just "swiffer" clean. Bathrooms are very outdated and just cheap. Pillows and mattresses are cheap and need replacing. Problematic steps throughout house. Be careful in the middle of the night! Very, very quirky low ceilings. Watch your head! Especially in the upstairs shower. Most grown men have to bow head and I had to watch my elbows when shampooing. I get that this is a casual summer cottage on Chaumont Harbor. However, if this is going to be rented these things should be addressed and fixed. Some are pretty easy to take care of. More attention is needed before I would consider returning. Not what I expected from a VRBO property.

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!

Sweet spot on the water.

This property was perfect for our family of 10. It had every thing we could have needed, was clean and spacious. Loved the little enclosed porch for morning coffee and the comfy Family Room for watching TV. We all fit comfortably around the dining table, including our family from Three Mile Bay. We would love to visit again.

Beautiful view on Chaumont Bay

We enjoyed our stay at this house in Chaumont Bay with such a beautiful view. Upstairs bedroom was delightful and bed comfortable. Loved the open great room to the dining room as well as the outside space. It was quite dated and kitchen could have been a bit cleaner, but overall adequate and a good amount of space for our group. There were wonderful neighbors next door that were quite helpful during our stay.

Excellent communication with property manager, easy check in. Great living room and dining room to accommodate all guests. Kitchen had all the basics for cooking. Fantastic lake views.. Enjoyed the Christmas tree in living room to plug in for a festive Christmas mood along with the electric fireplace. Several restaurants very close by. Got snow, driveway plowed in timely manner and steps shoveled. Would recommend this place for a lovely stay.

Beautiful Scenic view

This home was spacious enough for 3 separate couples + a teenager to gather for meals inside and out and sit and enjoy each other's company in the living room. The best part of each day was sitting on the back deck watching the sunset while drinking wine and winding down for a great night's sleep.

Good vieww

Place is pretty much as described. Property owners were easy to communicate with and we experienced no issues regarding check in or check out. Minor quibbles that can easily be addressed Almost all the sinks and showers have an issue with draining properly. 2nd floor shower also has some sort of blockage. These are easy fixes. Overall, all the members of our group were happy with the place and we will gladly stay there on our next visit to the area.
