NEW & IMPROVED - Guffin Bay Home with new 40ft EZ Dock
This lakefront home is located at Adams Cove within Guffin Bay, on the north shore of Pillar Point. Adams Cove was once a ferry landing and is now a landmark that can be found on all New York State Maps. An off shore prevailing Southwest wind makes Guffins Bay great for boating and water skiing, as the water is typically very calm. A public boat launch is located next door to the property.
Sackets Harbor, Clayton and Alexandria Bay are all neighboring locations within the Thousand Islands region. The source of water is a shore well, therefore the water is not potable. The owner provides a 4 gallon bottle of drinking water at each booking. Guests are responsible for drinking water beyond that.
Here are a few additional helpful notes:
**There is a guest fee of $20 per guest per night after 2 guests. Permission for extra guests after booking has to be given by the host, for which the same charges will apply.**
-Wifi is available on the property as well as access to YoutubeTV via smart television in the living room. Wifi network ID and passcode is located in the guidebook in the home.
-We provide a complimentary bundle of firewood and firestarter. Additional firewood is available for purchase. Feel free to bring your own as well.
-Complimentary bag of ice provided.
The neighborhood is an enjoyable, tranquil lakeside community. Please be respectful of others, thank you!

My husband and fishing buddy loves to stay here because they can dock the boat right there. He wanted to take an extra trip so I went along and our son and granddaughter joined us. I enjoyed sitting out on enclosed patio looking out at the water drinking my coffee watching the sun come up. Home had everything we needed, owner was very friendly, accommodating and easy to get ahold of when we did have a question. We will definitely continue returning for our get aways.
We enjoyed the house. Plenty of room to relax. The docks worked great. Out of the wind and rough water. Hope to make another trip back there.
Jack and his son John were great hosts.
The property, the yard was great for our family. Very relaxing, which was what we were looking for! The owner was friendly, accommodating and easily reachable. He made us feel very welcome. Would love to go back again sometime...maybe some family ice fishing!
my husband and his friends booked this adventure for ice fishing! everyone had a great time. Plenty of fish caught owner of the property, very accommodating, very friendly, and above and beyond accommodations.. thanks again John the guys truly had a wonderful time
The porch provided beautiful views of the cove, especially early morning sun. We especially enjoyed the huge living room with lots of comfortable couches and chairs. Jack, the host, was fun to talk with and he made our visit quite pleasurable. Thank you, for a nice visit to the North Country!
This was a nice property. Perfect if u have a boat the docks are tucked in away from the wind and waves. The owner was super at getting us anything. Really nice guy. We enjoyed our stay very much. Thanks again Jack !
Very relaxing stay at this lakeside cottage. Huge yard was a big plus. In a nice quiet cove. We were able to take walks or ride our bikes easily. Super easy access to boat launch and dock for our boat. Only downside was there wasn't easy action the water to swim and lots of seaweed which I know they can't control. Overall, we had a really nice stay at this cottage and the owner was very easy to communicate with.

Pictures are deceiving!
The cottage is very old and needs repair and updating.
The beds were comfortable and so was the furniture in the living room. The water surrounding the dock is shallow and full of weeds so you can't fish off the dock which was disappointing. The grocery store is very far away. Good thing we brought enough supplies for the week. You can't drink the water because it comes from the lake. Make sure you bring plenty of bottled water. The boat launch is just down the street and only costs $5.00 to launch your boat. Spent time fishing from the boat launch dock. The fishing is great but you really need to know the lake because of the many rocks in it. We hit a rock the second day we were there which ruined our prop and we needed to be towed back by the US Coast Guard. We were so thankful for their help and service. The owner is very helpful and gets back to you in a reasonable time frame.
Nice place. very old or rustic I guess I would say but never the less, worth the price we payed. Property owner was great.

Owner Jack was nice. Location was pretty and there was a nice side yard for our family to play on. Great place for boating, not so good for swimming. House needs some TLC.
Myself, my dad and friend rented the cottage for a ice fishing weekend! Jack was a great host. Very happy to answer any questions and get a fire going for us. He showed us all the ins and outs and we enjoyed a nice weekend. We were able to walk right onto the lake and do some fishing out the backyard. The next days we drove to chaumont boat launch to try our luck there. The house has practically everything you need for a long weekend stay! Thanks Jack!
Jack was a great host and very accommodating. Property was amazing for the kids to play football in the yard and view is incredible. Swimming was a bit difficult as boat launch is close by but docking boat was great. Would recommend staying here.
It was an amazing location and owner was super nice. Answered any and all questions we had, price was right abd and if we go back, we would look him up!!
Thank you Jack for the beautiful rental. We had a great time fishing and the porch was awesome! Beautiful lake views. Perfect for boats and kayaks. Great weather paddling around the cove. Will definitely be back!
