Incredible Rock wall home provides a spacious oasis for fun and relaxation

Felt right at home the moment we pulled into the driveway. All the necessary amenities and accomodations. The boulder wall of granite made the large 2 level decked patio the place to be, so relaxing and enjoyable.

Great choice for 1000 Islands

We were very happy with the house. It was a good location, quiet area, etc. The owners were thorough, easy to work with, and left lots of good info. Thank you, Rich and Carol.

A-Bay Rocks!

Not only A-Bay rocks but so does the Rock House. We come every year for Rockin' the Bay and the Rock House has been our "go to" home away from home. Once in town, we rarely drive anywhere...downtown A-Bay is a short walk away and the marina where we rent our boat is only a few minutes from the house. We hope to be back again next year!

A Bay getaway

We have rented this house before, and knew that it is perfect for us to enjoy Alexandria Bay. Thank goodness for the A/C! Close to all the downtown activities, so we walked most places. Short walk to the river.

Amazing place

The house was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. It's great for a couple or a small family. It's in a quiet neighborhood but walking distance to downtown, grocery store, pharmacy etc. We would definitely stay here again. 😊😊😊

Cool Place

This is our 3rd visit in 3 years to Alexandria Bay and it was the best! We rented a boat from a marina one block away and walked in town each night for dinner so we never really needed our vehicle. The house was very clean, great location and perfect for us!

Great Experience

Close to town, just over 3/4's of a mile to downtown ABay. Fantastic deck and backyard space. Watch for failing boards though. We put side tables over troublesome areas. Short walk to water and Aqua Mania. Would definitely stay there again

Great place, quiet, close to everything

We were in the area for 10 days and this was a great home for our stay! We were welcomed with a note from Carol and her husband and some local wine! Carol was easy to communicate with. It was close to the things we wanted to do, in a nice quiet neighborhood. The house had everything we needed. We had friends come for part of our stay, and had read previous reviews about the bedrooms. We took an air mattress, and they slept in the family room, which worked out fine. They had their own bathroom on the first floor. We would definitely stay here again!

Labor Day Stay

This was a perfect place to enjoy the Thousand Islands, and especially the Blues Festival in Alex Bay. So convenient to be able to walk to the venue at the Bay! The house was just right for the two of us. Enjoyed morning coffee on the deck, or on the sun porch. A unique and charming home with nice upgrades. Missed having a TV in the bedroom.

Cute Home right outside of town

We had a wonderful stay at Carol’s place and enjoyed all the extra touches she provided. The deck and grill area were fantastic as well as the well stocked kitchen. The home was clean and easy to access, it is about a ten minute walk into downtown and right next to a large drugstore with groceries. The upstairs is situated as a large open master suite which we loved but the second bedroom is right off the master bath so would probably work best for a family with young kids. Only suggestion we had would be some more seat cushions for the outside chairs. We would absolutely book again!

Very Comfortable!

We were very pleased with our stay at the Rock House. It was very clean and came well equipped with basic household supplies that we would likely need during our stay. It provided a very comfortable and relaxing place for my family when we returned from adventuring around the Thousand Island region. The location was a short drive to every place we visited and located on a very quiet road. I would say that this house is best for families of parents and smaller children because of the bedroom/bathroom layout. Overall, we would definitely stay here again and recommend higly to others.

Vacation getaway.

Property was just as described. It was very relaxing to be able to cook outside and relax on the deck. The only hiccup we had was trying to access the key but that was our issue. This house is close to town yet away from all the noise. We will definitely be looking at staying here again.

About the host

Hosted by Carol Granato

The Alexandria Bay (1000 Islands Region) gives us a little bit of everything that we enjoy as a couple. We are constantly outdoors, love to hike and enjoy fishing and boating. Our love of history and appreciation of nature is fulfilled by wandering around the 1000 Islands. As avid Jeepers, we love to go for a random drive and find truly unique locations to indulge our "Foodie" nature and sense of adventure.

Why they chose this property

This home and the area in which is stands was a dream of ours to own in. After going to this beautiful place for over 40 years and growing up spending time there with family and friends, we wanted to become a permanent resident part of the community.

What makes this property unique

When we pulled up in front of this home we realized before even going inside that this was going to be ours. We were sold on the truly unique and beautiful rock feature that towers above the back of the house. When entering inside the house we appreciated all of the attention to detail in maintaining the past while make sure all of the modern amenitities were there. It's location gives you the unique ability to participate in all of the towns events but also have the option to get away from it all in a quiet atmosphere.
