Cottage vacation rentals in Watertown

It's a lovely place, very clean and spacious, designed in excellent taste. It's a little too rural, so we had issues with wifi connection several times. on the other hand, David was very attentive and available and solved the problems quickly. It would have been nice to have more clarity about on site boating options. we weren't sure we have access to the deck without disturbing others, and whether there are boats/canoes available. All in all - a lovely place, very nice owner.

Lovely space - just like the pictures. A little tricky to find the first time, but its location is part of what makes it so peaceful. The cottage was perfect for our needs and the hot tub was delightful. David answered all our inquiries promptly and even let us check in early when I asked. We had some issues with the internet service, but that was clearly weather-related. And although he was unable to resolve the issue before we checked out, David was very responsive and reached out to the internet company right away and made every effort to get it fixed.

Came down for a rugby tournament with a group from Kingston ON. This spot was spacious, clean, very nice and up to date. No issues at all! Would love to come back in the summer once the weather is nicer to enjoy the beautiful yard set up they had.

My personal best Airbnb experience hands down!! The home owners thought of everything, and you have everything you need except for your own personal belongings and sustenance. This is how Airbnb’s used to be back in the day but Ryan and his family’s home have taken it to the next level! Modern, clean, clutter free. They’ve thought of literally everything. Worth every penny. Don’t hesitate. If you’re staying up in the 1000 islands, stay here. No brainer in my book! Thanks, Ryan and fam for a wonderful last minute weekday getaway.

The house and grounds were great, Such a wonderful find for a weekend getaway. Gillian med us upon our arrival and gave us a third walk-through of the property. A very kind and welcoming host. There was an incredible amount of space in this country ranch, both indoors and out. A hot tub was clean and large enough for my group to hang out, picnic tables outside, made for a good barbecue. It was such a short trip to downtown Alexandria Bay, five minutes, it really was a great place to be right next to the heart of it all well not being stuck the rest of the visitors. We all look forward to looking this place again and enjoying the thousand islands

We had an absolutely incredible stay at Jay’s Airbnb! From the moment we arrived, it was clear that every detail had been thoughtfully considered. The place itself was everything we could have asked for—cozy, beautifully designed, and nestled in a stunningly scenic area with breathtaking views. During our weekend stay, we experienced over a foot of snow, but Jay had already arranged for a plow service in advance, ensuring the driveway was always clear and accessible. Thanks to his careful planning, we had no issues coming and going, which made our stay stress-free and enjoyable. Beyond that, Jay was an exceptional host—communicative, proactive, and incredibly accommodating. He kept us updated throughout our stay and went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable. If you’re looking for a perfect getaway with a top-tier host, look no further. We highly recommend staying here and would absolutely return in the future. Thanks again, Jay!

Highly recommended! This was a fantastic cottage for a family gathering. The layout supports a mix of families with its generous arrangement of rooms and beds. The den with pool and foosball tables was extremely popular and the ping pong table in the gym/studio was also a hit. There were plenty of separate sitting areas so that different groups could find their own spaces - or gather all together. The hot tub and sauna were perfect for a winter stay. The cottage had one of the best kitchens I've seen for a large group - the double oven and two fridges made it easy to cook for all 16 of us and there were plenty of plates, utensils and cooking implements. It was extremely well stocked with all the basics including some cereal and coffee which were a huge hit with early risers. I can only imagine how wonderful this cottage would be in the summer as we had a great time here in the midst of winter and never ran out of things to do. Maria is an excellent host and extremely responsive.

We spent three lovely late winter nights. The cottage was clean, spacious and very inviting. My wife and I loved the sauna and my kids loved the hot tub. We cozied up in the evening watching movies, puzzling and playing cards. The deck with the fire pit was a favourite spot for a morning coffee looking at the frozen lake. Would highly recommend for anyone looking to escape the city and unwind for a getaway as a couple or family. Hosts were fantastic!

what a beautiful place!! beautiful view, very quiet, very private, comfortable bed, plenty of coffees & tees! my dog played with their doggie. very friendly kind people. we enjoyed walking on frozen lake, making fire in the snow. we definitely wanna visit in summer time!

The cottage and hosts were wonderful, friendly, accommodating and very comfortable. Me, my husband, my kid and my elderly parents found the place absolutely lovely. We'd go back in a heartbeat and would recommend it as well.

The furniture is clean and comfortable, and the bathroom had all the necessary amenities. We especially liked that there was plenty of space for clothing and belongings, and appreciated the wifi, nice TV and games.

My family of 4 really enjoyed our stay at Windswept Cottage. We visited off-season on a last minute trip while our kids were on break from school. The weather was mostly uncooperative, so we spent a lot of time hunkered down and never wanted for anything. It is well supplied and they really had thought of everything. The warnings about the stairs were appreciated. They felt a little treacherous at first, but we were going up and down with ease after the first couple of trips. Good idea to keep an eye on kids as the description recommends. Our boys occasionally got a little overconfident. Tl:dr - Great stay, and we'll be back!

Thank you so much for the perfect getaway stay! Everything was as described and more. Perfect sleeps were had, kitchen was well equipped for all the late night creations, comfy reading spots throughout the home. Comfort levels were absolutely met! We enjoyed it immensely and can't wait to stay again soon.

Hands down one of the best airbnb stays and hosts! Wanted to spend my husband’s birthday at the Buddy shack and happened to mention that to Brandon before the stay. When we checked in, baked chocolate cake, ice cream, a gift bag, a birthday card and a beautiful handwritten note were waiting for us. Above and beyond doesn’t even begin to describe this gesture! And there are thoughtful touches around the house that made us feel right at home. Communication was excellent. Felt like I was chatting with a friend. Tried two restaurants that they recommended and both could give the NYC restaurants a run for their money! The property is beautiful. Enjoyed excellent weather and quiet time by the lake. Overall, I highly recommend the Buddy Shack. You will return with wonderful memories and a full heart!

We rented this place over the long weekend and just loved it. Robert was a very response host. Everything was perfect. Very spacious place with everything you could possibly need. Very close to town, grocery store and sight seeing. Would definitely recommend and will be going back.

Me and girl friend had a great stay, didn’t want to leave! We plan on going back soon!

We love staying at this cabin! It is clean, has the necessary amenities to include a washer and dryer. We always use the coffee maker and feel right at home in the morning in front of the electric fire place. This is our second time booking and we recommend this location.

We had a wonderful stay! The place is perfect for relaxing and getting away from it all. Rebecca was incredibly kind and helpful, making sure everything went smoothly. Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for a peaceful retreat!

We loved our stay here. The house was perfect for my dad and I. We enjoyed the living room and big main bathroom. Lots of options for outdoor seating and the dead end street made it a very quiet/private location. Close to all the Thousand Island destinations we wanted to visit.

Beautiful cottage with beautiful views. Highly recommend!

We can't say enough about our stay at Matt's beautiful cottage. Everything was exactly as advertised and looked exactly like the photos. The arrival instructions were very clear and we appreciated the communication leading up to our stay with the house rules PDF being sent by email. We enjoyed a very memorable weekend in the middle of prime autumn colours. This location is absolutely STUNNING!!!!! The sunsets are breathtaking and the property is perfect for watching the sun set over the lake. Mornings were also magnificent with mist and fall colours blending together beautifully. If you had small children, they would be in the lake from dawn to dusk at this fabulous property. We would definitely visit again; it was one of the best airbnb properties we have ever rented. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Courtney's place is a really beautiful location. It was the nice and cozy get away we were looking for.

This is the perfect place for a nice family vacation our little guy had so much fun on the children’s slide and playing in the sand.

It is a wonderful place and Kyle was always responsive with very good detailed instructions. The house was very clean and organized. Would like to stay again sometime in the future when we could enjoy the lake and some swimming.
