About this property

Island Cottage @ The Ledges Resort & Marina

  • The Ledges Resort & Marina is right in the heart of the 1000 Islands. We have ten cottages spread across six acres of landscaped grounds along the St. Lawrence River. There are views of the Boldt Castle, Sunken Rock Lighthouse, and the main shipping channel. Throughout the property you will find many beautiful spots to relax, read a book, take a walk, and fish. While the grounds provide privacy and lots of space, we are not in a remote location. There is a public park with a playground and basketball court on our street. And it’s an easy walk to downtown Alexandria Bay. There you will find plenty of shopping, restaurants, and entertainment.

    The Ledges has a large in-ground swimming pool and lounge area. There is a gazebo overlooking Boldt Castle. Each cottage has its own fire-pit where you can warm up under the stars. We even provide free firewood!. We also have free kayaks and canoes for our guests. If you bring a boat, we have dockage available. If you don’t have your own boat, we have boat rentals on site. We also offer private boat charters on a classic wood 1957 Lyman. The Ledges is your gateway to all that The St. Lawrence river and Thousand Islands has to offer!


    The Island Cottage is a studio cottage with a private deck. It has a queen size bed. There is also a queen size pull out sofa with a memory foam mattress. It has a mid-size refrigerator/freezer, coffee maker, tea kettle, and microwave inside. There is a HDTV with Directv satellite television.

    On the covered deck there is an outdoor kitchen. It features a gas grill, gas stove, refrigerator/freezer, and stainless kitchen sink.

    The beds are made with fresh linens. Bath towels, hand towels, and washcloths are also provided.
    Everything is prepped and ready to make your vacation relaxing and comfortable. Just bring yourself!

    * Important note November 2026: We just started a full remodel of this cottage. It will be the same size and similar layout. But it will be all new inside and out. New pictures of the upgrades will be added to the listing when the construction is complete in the spring.

    * IMPORTANT NOTES:
    Dogs are allowed. There is a $35 PER NIGHT/PER PET fee. Adding pets to your reservation through VRBO does not add the pet fee automatically. The pet fee will be added and charged separately after the reservation is confirmed. Pets must be leashed, cleaned up after, and kept off furniture.

    Boat dockage can be added to a reservation for $2 per foot/per night. Personal watercraft dockage can be added for $20 per night. Power and water are available at all docks. We have plenty parking for boat trailers. There is a free public boat launch less than one mile from us.

We loved staying here! The island cottage is perfect for a weekend getaway away. My husband and I enjoyed docking our boat just feet away from the cottage. It is very close to all of the attractions. We will definitely be returning! Thank you

Nice place

Nice place to stay. It's a couple of blocks from the center of town and quite a walk but you can drive into town quite easily. Just hard to find parking in town during the busy season

Beautiful property! Great place to stay!

We stayed in Boathouse 2 and it was just the cutest place. Very clean and has all of the amenities you need. It's within walking distance of all the shops and restaurants it's dog friendly! You can actually see Boldt Castle from the property! Amy and Nick, the proprietor, are so nice and helpful. Definitely stay here.

Beautiful location & homey feel

This beautiful location on the river is a beautiful perfect spot for intimate getaways or a family vacation! I booked 4 locations as the Ledges Resort which housed 24 of my friends and family for a long weekend. We were all quite impressed with the staff, amenities, and overall experience. We walked to Main Street for dinner almost every night during our stay.

Nice clean quiet place to stay

Very nice comfortable cottage. Everything you need to spend a few days or longer! Nice view of Boldt Castle at night. Fun to watch the boats in and out of the marina. Would definitely recommend for couples or families. Very attentive owners who are there to address any concerns

So much awesome in one place

This was our first time to A Bay and the Ledges and we loved it. We stayed in the Island cottage and we used the outdoor kitchen almost the entire time we were there because it was so incredible. The grounds are impeccably kept and the owners are super nice. We used the kayaks and hammocks but didn’t have enough time to use the unground pool this time! It was a cute, simple, affordable getaway that left us with not much else to do but have a good time and we soooooo look forward to going back!

Nice relaxing stay at the Ledges

My Wife and I had the pleasure of staying at the Ledges for a 2 night stay 10/14 and 15. What a wonderful place. It was clean and out host was very gracious and professional. We appreciated the treats and coffee that was there for us upon arrival. The Ledges is in a spectacular location with a real cool view of the Boldt Castle - something I HIGHLY recommend checking out. The Ledges was very cozy and I strongly suggest staying here during a visit to 1000 Islands. While there - do take a tour of Uncle Sam's Boat tours. To the Ledges - Thank you for making our visit to the 1000 Islands a great and memorable experience. We hope to come back sometime soon! PS - we loved our visits from Harriet the Cat. John and Steff

Great location, great people, very relaxing

This was our first trip to the Thousand Islands area of New York and we couldn't have asked for a better place to stay for our week away. My wife and I are busy professionals and we enjoyed the ability to relax in this very comfortable and laid-back location. You can't be much closer to the St. Lawrence river unless you are actually in it. We also enjoyed hanging out by the pool one afternoon. We stayed in Boathouse #1. Having the kitchen allowed us to make meals that we would take outside to enjoy at the dock tables, under the shade of the large trees, or in one of the two gazebos while watching the activity on the St. Lawrence river. Even without the kitchen we could have used one of the multiple community grills to cook on which we did one evening. Clean towels, wash-cloths, linens, body-wash were provided. There was a TV with satellite in the living room and the bedroom. We walked into downtown Alexandria Bay on numerous occasions to catch a boat tour of the islands, to visit Boldt Castle, to shop, have lunch or dinner in a local restaurant, etc. A number of restaurant choices exist and the Uncle Sam boat tours offer a range of tours to select from. Nick and Amy were very friendly and were eager to lend a hand or provide answers to questions about the area if needed. There are also a few season-long guests who are very friendly and make this a welcoming place to spend time. I would definitely recommend staying here, bring your watercraft and enjoy what the property and the St. Lawrence river has to offer! One helpful hint: bring the phone number when you check in and give it a call when you arrive. Nick or Amy will meet you and give you the keys and the details.

Nice week away.

Island Cottage is basically an efficiency apartment for two best suited for the warmer months, if you plan to do your own cooking. There us heat and it works well so when eating out the property would work for all seasons. The kitchen area (stove, grill, small fridge, supplies) is on a covered but not screen in porch. There is a small kitchenette inside with a microwave, coffee pot and another small fridge. Management was responsive to reported problems and were on top of them quickly. When we arrived, we discovered that the small fridge on the porch was running but not cooling. It was replaced with a functioning unit mid-week. Given the odd size of the fridge this is impressive. They also offered the use of a Yetti cooler and ice until they could install the new unit. Friendly and fery customer service minded. The property is well groomed with lots of yard area. There are fire pits behind each cottage/cabin. There is a small area with a couple of chairs where guests can sit at the water front between two neighboring private properties. The view of the shipping channel from this cottage is over the top of the boats in the marina. Not impossible/not perfect. The gazebo on the ledge or the area by the shore mentioned above provide a better view. The addition of some play ground equipment might make the area a bit more child friendly. There are some cottages away from the water for those who find that a concern.

Comfortable bed, clean room and great view.

Overall the stay was very nice, a well stocked kitchen area, clean rooms, comfortable bed and great views. My only concern is the listing was for a King bed & I'm pretty sure there was a Queen is the room. My husband is very tall so we always try to book King rooms.
