Island holiday rentals in Thousand Islands

Our family of 4 loved staying on the island! It was definitely rustic living, but the cabin had everything necessary to cook, sleep, and enjoy the island comfortably. The scenery was beautiful and we spent much of our time in, near, or on the water. Donna provided a canoe and we brought our own inflatable paddle board. Both were in use often during our stay. The upstairs of the house would get warm on hot days, but cooled down significantly at night. The beds were comfortable and we had some excellent nights of sleep during our stay. Our dog vacationed with us and she was so happy to run free and wade in the water all day, every day. Donna was an excellent host. She was always available to answer questions. She communicated with us consistently and was flexible when we arrived later than expected. Staying by ourselves on an island was a very cool experience and we will fondly remember this unique and special place for years to come! Thank you Donna!

What an experience. Everybody should try this at least once! Renting your own private island made us feel like we were in a very private in exclusive place yet extremely close to things such as the boat ramp, restaurants, and other sights. You do need a boat of some sort, but that’s all part of the fun and experience! The house was well equipped uncomfortable. Swimming around the island was epic. It was a short 15 minute ride to get to sites such as bolt castle. There was also a great little restaurant in Rockport.

Phyllis, & her daughter Jennifer, went above & beyond to make us, our 6yo & 12yo, and our crazy Bernedoodle feel very welcome. They seemed very happy to have us, and even offered us many of their personal things and private areas on their property to enjoy. Unique & beautiful surroundings that push you to relax, with a cozy/charming/glamping-style accommodation that makes you feel at home.

Our stay at Benjamin’s private island cottage on Charleston Lake was fantastic! The island was stunning, and the provided water activities equipment was a great bonus. We loved exploring the lake, swimming, and enjoying cozy fires each night. Benjamin’s hospitality made our family getaway truly memorable. Highly recommend!

This was our first airbnb experience and this exceeded our expectations. Karen was a wonderful host, our communication started months before our stay. She has everything you could want, a real “home away from home”. I loved that she was dog friendly, and even left us some homemade brownies!

Hosts were amazing! Such a beautiful view and perfect location! Will be returning!

Fabulous location and spectacular views!! This lovely home was extremely well equipped and suited our family get together perfectly. There were ample water toys, kayak, boat, and mat as well as indoor games and a great indoor space where we spent some time on our one damp day. The kitchen was very well equipped, appliances clean and functioned well, and there is a nice barbecue. Maryville is a great village with super bakery and assorted shops, restaurants, and galleries. The long, sandy beach is a 30 minute drive away and $15pp and great for swimming. I would recommend and definitely return.

We are two women and booked super last minute (literally the day before!) and Jp could not have been a better host. He was so responsive, kind, and helpful every step of the way, which made the whole experience stress-free and easy. His place truly felt like a little slice of heaven. The lake was absolutely beautiful. We loved having our own manual boat to go fishing and relaxing out on the water. It was so peaceful and private, exactly what we were hoping for. The island had so much to do too; hammocks to relax in, beautiful spots to explore, and plenty of space to just unwind and take it all in. Our cabin was the perfect setup. It was cozy, clean, had everything we needed, and had such a cool, thoughtful layout. We honestly didn’t want to leave. We’re completely obsessed with this place and are already planning to come back when it gets even warmer. Could not recommend it enough. Thank you so much, Jp.

Great host Great place. Amazing island and amazing views. We highly recommend. Jen is very kind and quick to respond to our questions.

The cottage was great. Rustic with a lot of character and reminded me of St Lawrence and Finger Lakes vacations when I was a kid. We've stayed at a number of places on the river over the years and this was the first time upon arrival I turned to my wife and said..."Now THIS is a river cottage." It had everything you could ever want to just be at the river and enjoy yourself. Susan was a great host, gave detailed, easy, and clear instructions and was very responsive.

An amazing property on the river with a great host, Deborah. Lots of activities for the kids such as swimming, paddle boarding, kayaking, fishing and boating. We hope to be back next summer. Thanks Debbbie!

It was an amazing experience staying at the Island. Surrounded by the lake it had great views and was private and serene. A must visit place if you like lakes and live close to the nature. JP is very friendly and amazing host. Despite there being a boat reserved for us to drive on the mainland JP helped us travel to and from the mainland even when it was 11 PM in the night which we really appreciate. He was very responsive with communication and responded very quickly to all our queries and requests. 10 stars for the amazing host who made our stay 10 times more amazing. Thank you!

This was such a lovely place to stay, everything you could ever need and more in a weekend getaway. The river was right outside the door, making for a lovely sight. We would love to come back to see it in the summer ! :)

Our stay at Grants Island was just what we needed for a little family getaway! The weather complied, the lake and views from the dock were amazing. The use of the pontoon made for good fishing but even better fishing right off the dock! John was more than accommodating with our needs and communication was easy. The cabin fit 5 of us just fine and everyone enjoyed themselves. The local restaurant had great food and drinks!
