"I came into town with a friend/coach for the both of us to see my son play college baseball 1 mile away at SUNY JCC.The location was perfect to attend the games, go out to eat and not be tied up in a hotel room which I have done before with my wife and daughter.The view of the river and the gas fireplace made it a pleasant stay for this short weekend trip.I would definitely consider this property again when visiting our son at school."

"The apartment met all our functional needs, but better seating options would make a huge difference. The sheets and beds were fantastic, and the office space was very useful. In true apartment fashion, the neighbors were on a completely different sleep schedule then us, staying up until the very early hours on the weekends. During the week though, everything seemed to even out. "

"This was an amazing first stay at Angel Rock. Our cottage was cozy and the perfect size for our ladies getaway. We had everything we needed. Amazing views for the living area and outside deck. Beds were comfortable, only downside was the bottom sheet and mattress pad come off fairly quick after getting into bed. Area was very quiet and relaxing.

"The Great Room and deck is amazing. All the windows let so much natural light in and the chairs on the deck are so comfortable. Just watching the lake, deer and turkeys very relaxing. "

"The home is clean and the kitchen has everything you need to cook. Property owners attentive and easy to talk to. We rented the boat they had available and it was a must to get around and see the beauty of the river. You can walk into town from the property which is nice. Would recommend this home. "

"The cottage was perfect, and communication with the host was great!"

"Had a great time. Heather answered all my questions and quickly. It was a great experience! "

"This house was in perfect walking distance from all things Clayton. The property was clean and welcoming, and was the perfect landing spot after long days of exploring the area. "

"This little gem is tucked away in Dexter and offers a fabulous view (and access) of the river and surrounding area (Fall foliage was spectacular). There are lots of ammenities on property to enjoy! It was a little cold to hop in the Kayaks but they were available to us. We did enjoy warming up around the firepit and the barrel sauna was spectacular! The house was super cute and nicely decorated. There were a couple of very minor maintenance items (e.g. light switch, closet door) that could be...

"We really enjoyed our stay there! It’s a cozy, little home and had everything we needed for the weekend! The owner was very easy to reach and responded quickly. I would go again. "

"Enjoyed our stay!"

"8 adults stayed here we had plenty of space and really enjoyed the house. The town of Alexandria was very cute, most things were closing for the season but we did still get to experience the boat tour, do some shopping and eat at a few local places. We also traveled to the next town over for the pumpkin chunkin festival which was a lot of fun. Thanks to Bob for recommending this! "

"Great house! Very clean and spacious. Loved having a EV charger - that was just a short walk down the street. Excellent restaurant recommendations!Minor suggestions for improvement: #1: Consider room darkening drapes that close over the window.#2: It would be lovely to have 1-2 of the main bedrooms with a tv in the room. Sometimes it’s nice to catch up on a show just before bed. "

"This was our third stay. The house is well kept and has plenty of space. The lakefront is beautiful and the water is perfect for swimming. It is very quiet and relaxing. Thank you!😊"

" The house was very spacious and comfortable; beds were great. Dining table as well as 4 stool bar in a large kitchen. & large living room, tv., etc. Yard area is large and beautifully maintained with a patio, large table/chairs and bbq. We also could park in the garage. Owner was very nice and very helpful if we needed anything. However, we really missed wi-fi as we use internet a lot wen traveling so went to local restaurants to get connected. Enjoyed seeing all the sites in the area...

"Was here for a week for commercial job the owners are super friendly and helpful… loved it"

"Girls trip...3 elder sisters plus second generation niece and her 2 daughters. We all agreed everything was perfect at this location. From bedroom choices to outside porches to full kitchen amenities everything we needed was at our fingertips. Location couldn't have been better. View of the St Lawrence, glimpses of ships traveling in the distance, perfect weather and wonderful flat hiking right in the neighborhood. The area was charming and steeped in early history of the thousand Islands...

Good location while in Watertown

"Watertown BW’s front entrance to the lobby was dated, no “wow” factor & not as accessible if you’re wheelchair bound (which we are not) but inside was bright & clean. Our check-in person, Raynor, was businesslike & efficient, he invited us to partake of the coffee, tea & cookies near the reception desk. They also provide water infused with fruits like oranges & strawberries—quite refreshing—in a dispenser by the breakfast area. Raynor did steer us to a list of restaurants nearby—got pizza at Cam’s & it was good as advertised. Our room was close to the lobby—spacious, clean with a king bed & the usual amenities. It was quiet, not many guests judging from the parking lot—it was a Monday night. I noticed that there was no secure entrance, i.e., anyone could have entered by the back door without a key. The breakfast next morning was quite good—the moist scrambled eggs, though undoubtedly from a carton, were prepared well as were the turkey sausage & regular sausage. Besides the usual cereals, yogurt, bagels, bread & fruit there was a waffle maker—all of it looked decent. They even offered Silk Milk & 2% milk. The coffee is good & strong. Gary is a friendly employee who took care of stocking food & cleaning up in the breakfast room. I also saw an employee who may have been the cook. Breakfast hours are 6:30-9:30. The tables are in the lobby separate from the breakfast room, but not far. The hotel could pay attention to the dying plants in the window by the tables. "
