The apartment was great! The themed decor was cozy and super cute. There were games and dvds and anything you could think of if you needed a snack or a bandaid or a blow dryer. Hosts were very pleasant and accommodating and it was less than 15 minutes from Otter Creek Nature Preserve, a drive-in theater, and Alexandria Bay. Overall I’d give our stay a 4.75/5 and my only issues were: being woken up at 1:30am from the firehouse sirens around the corner (not to the fault of the home owners) and when I initially booked I had thought it was a waterfront property so I was surprised once we received the actual address, but that was my fault. Everything else was great!

Love this sweet place
My husband is a drummer for a well known party band and had gigs on two different weekends in Thousand Island Park. Everything was booked, so we ended up here…and I am so glad we did. Dee and Bill are the quintessential hosts. The place is spotless and set up like a little house with everything (and I mean everything) you could possibly need. Snacks? The refrigerator and cupboard are filled, and Dee leaves a delicious homemade treat as well. Entertainment? There’s an extensive library of DVDs, books, and games. Fishing? There’s a pretty lake a 5-minute walk away. We will be staying here whenever we have shows in the area, even if there’s availability closer.

Sweet and SO cute!!
My husband and I are in a band that was playing in Thousand Island Park for the 4th of July weekend. Everything was sold out, so we booked this not knowing anything about Redwood or its proximity to TIP. We have stayed in a lot of properties in a lot of cities, but I can honestly say this is one of the nicest, most comfortable, and well appointed homes we have ever stayed in. No detail was overlooked. Dee and Bill are wonderful hosts, responsive, and even left us a delicious homemade treat, in addition to a very well stocked refrigerator and pantry. We are looking forward to staying there again in two weeks when we play another gig at TIP!

Must Stay
We recently had the pleasure of staying at this charming lakefront home again, and it was an absolutely delightful experience from start to finish. Nestled right on the edge of the serene lake, the property offered quick and easy access to nature trails and water. The home has a warm and inviting atmosphere. The interior was impeccably clean and beautifully decorated, and very cozy. The kitchen was well-equipped with everything we needed to prepare meals. Their attention to detail and thoughtful touches really made a difference, from the welcome basket to the well-stocked pantry. The bedrooms were comfortable and thoughtfully arranged, ensuring that everyone had a restful stay. We especially appreciated the California King Bed! We highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a relaxing retreat.

Comfortable and cozy duplex
The duplex is in a quiet little village close to Alexandria Bay. The home is clean and lovingly decorated with a fishing theme. The beds in the upstairs bedroom are comfortable. The host Dee is very thoughtful since we were welcomed with a very well stocked kitchen and had even banana bread and a fruit bowl provided for us. Dee thought of all amenities a traveler could need, so if you forgot something, Dee has you covered! We felt more like family than guest's staying at "A Simple Roof".

Super impressed with this apartment!
Wow wow wow. So clean. So neat. Dee provides more than I've ever seen in any rental from brochures to games to movies to extra blankets to microwave popcorn to coffee to snacks to ice packs to toothpicks to plenty of bathroom linens. I want to go on but you get my point. It is just as she advertised. I didn't have to do much food prep this trip but the kitchen is beyond fully stocked - dishes, tools, pots/pans, air fryer, coffee maker... I did make a salad to share and had absolutely everything I needed. Communication and check-in were super easy and very good. I'd be hard pressed to find anything at all to complain about. It goes without saying that I'd stay again.

Couldn't have been better!
Four night kayak fishing trip. Indian River Lakes. My brother and another buddy with me. It was the perfect getaway for us. A quarter mile from Butterfield Lake launch! Within 20 minutes of about 15 different lakes. (Many within 10!) we had a Ram pickup, a cartop, and a Subaru pulling a single trailer with a Hobie PA14 on it. Parking was easy, and care free. I hate to use the word "campy," but to me, thats how it felt. That, "sigh of relief, park your truck on the grass, creaky floor welcome," flipped my mind straight into relax mode. Everything Dee said in listing is true. She had snacks and fruit available for us. 2 sets of keys. Place decorated in fishing motif. Little patio set outside became our rigging station. Fire pit that was left unused by my group. Activity all around....four wheelers...trailered boats coming and going...never bothered us. Pub fare and bar 100 yards down the road. (Excellent burger! Perch fry on Friday was good as well!) Ice Cream stand next to that...gas station convenience store next. Walked to all and back easily. Fishing was great! Lakes are gorgeous! I LOVE islands that are just GIANT BOULDERS! Amazing. Just a wonderful stay!

A solid 6 on a scale of 1 to 5
Dee and Bill have thought of everything. Decorated in fun and lively “beach cottage” fishing camp theme, Dee and Bill have made their rental user-friendly beyond your wildest imagination. Compact bathroom fully stocked with blow dryer, shampoos, conditioners, bath washes, soaps, large fluffy washcloths and towels, first aid kit, even sewing kit in medicine cabinet! Setting up and connecting my 17” HP Pavilion laptop Kindle Fire tablet to the WiFi was hassle-free. Dining table, 4 chairs, full-size cabinet w/literature, maps about area attractions. Very comfortable nap-worthy overstuffed chair, matching hassock and sleepable sofa, rollaway bed tucked in closet area. Tons of movie CDs, games for kids, magazines, etc. for a rainy day. Bedroom is large w/kingsize and single bed, luggage rack, closet with plenty of hangers. Window A/C but we only used it a couple of nights as the weather cooled down at night to perfect sleeping temperature. Early morning light sweater or longsleeve shirt cool mellowing to ideal T-shirt temps during the day, no humidity. Neighbors, residents as small-town friendly and eager to help as Dee and Bill are. Well-stocked country store w/ deli & hot/cold sandwiches block and a half walk away, next to yummy ice cream/tacos/pizza setup. Post office block and a half walk, along w/great small-town thrift store, 2 churches within eyesight. Alexandria Bay 7 miles away w/Artesian Shop of local crafts and artwork and eyepopping custom-made hand-painted fishing lures, 1000 Bait Shop quick drive toward Clayton, Antique Boat Museum in Clayton, must-see Tibbitts Point Lighthouse (postcards, unique gift items) past Cape Vincent where St. Lawrence and Lake Ontario meet. We enjoyed sitting on the lawn with early-morning coffee as residents drove by and waved, and again in the afternoon and early evening as we unwound from casual take-our-time sightseeing. Oh, Butter Field Lake is at the end of a short steep drive down past the house (either good exercise or exhausting depending on your physical condition) and is well worth grabbing your binoculars and going down to sit on the boulders for a bit and enjoy the view. If you are an author or an artist, this would be the perfect peaceful rental to inspire your creative muse or try your hand at plein air painting at Butter Field Lake or anywhere along the St. Lawrence River. On a scale of 1 to 5, my husband and I give Dee and Bill a solid 6.

Close to Alexandria Bay
Dee was great to do business with. The apartment was as described. I would recommend staying here in the quiet sleepy town to being downtown A-Bay. The bed was super comfortable, and we were able to take nice walks in the neighborhood. Ice cream was just minutes away. The kitchen was well stocked with everything you need to cook, except of course, the food. We'd come again.
