Wonderful place to stay!
The property is well cared for with special touches to make you feel right at home. Many amenities makes it easy to come and stay without having to pack alot of extra things. The fire pit was stocked with wood and we noticed that it was replenished. We will definitely return again.
A wonderful place by the water to stay with the family. The kids loved it and we will return for sure in the future. Thank you!

Lovely property
The cottage was clean, had a well-stocked kitchen, and the property/grounds were inviting and decorated so nicely for fall. It was easy to take our Golden Retriever outside to do his business. The firepits are such a nice addition! I can imagine coming back in the summer when the pool is open.

Wonderful getaway!
Absolutely loved the place and location. Quiet but not too quiet. I was so impressed by how lovely the grounds were. So well taken care of and filled with photo opportunities! Being able to have our dog with us was very appreciated otherwise we would not have come. The owners (managers) not sure which They were, were very quick to answer any questions we had. My only suggestions would be for a grab bar in the shower so it would truly be handicap accessible and a larger bed in the master. Not sure if it was a queen but a king would have been fabulous. Will definitely be back!!! Thanks so much

My husband and I had a great time, the property is at a fantastic location overlooking Boldt Castle. Each cottage has its own fire pit with firewood provided. The property was very clean, virtual check in was easy and we enjoyed our stay.

A great getaway
We stayed at The Shipwatch for the weekend. Nick and Amy have lovingly created a charming, cozy place by the water in Alexandria Bay. The cottage is so sweet, with all the necessities. The two rooms are sufficient, comfortable queen size bed in each room. The living room and kitchen are not large, but if the weather has been nicer, we would have been outside roaming the beautiful outdoor space with Adirondack chairs, fire pits, and gazebo. Nice touches, such as rain shower, good coffee, cute dishes, nice linens, etc. A lovely stay.

Relaxing getaway for a special milestone birthday .
I booked the Shipwatch cabin and was not disappointed . The cabin was decorated beautifully with all the amenities and was very comfortable .I especially loved the rain head shower arm in the bathroom which was a very nice touch and gave me the most relaxing shower. I now have to buy one for my bath... Loved the Adirondack chairs surrounding the Fire Pit ,and thought it was great that fresh wood was provided to make a very nice fire as well.. Also, loved the outdoor pool , and the gazebos on the premises .My guests and I enjoyed the property very much and would love to go back . We couldn't ask for a better weekend. A big thank you to Ainsley for helping me with the TV, and the owners for doing a great job maintaining the property . Cindy T.

Chillin by the river
Perfect blend of close to town while still a million miles away! Nicely maintained property with lots of room to roam, firewood delivered nightly to use in your own personal fire pit. The young couple who owned and maintain the grounds make themselves very available for any problems or questions. Our cabin was very cutely decorated and kitchen and bathrooms were well stocked
