About this property

Spacious, Relaxing, Simplified Living With The Best Screened Porch Of All!

**This is a SUNDAY - SUNDAY rental^^

Thousand Island Park is a magical place located on an island between Ontario and the NY mainland in the beautiful Saint Lawrence River. Step off the grid and transport yourself to our happy, comfortable cottage.

Wraparound screen porch, 5 bedrooms (one is downstairs), two full baths (one is downstairs), fully equipped kitchen with gas cooking, gas grill, washer/dryer, BIG yard, driveway parking for 2 cars. Maximum occupancy = 10.

Upstairs bedrooms consist of 2 kings (One king room has its own screened sleeping/sitting porch), a queen, and a double. Downstairs bedroom is a queen bed. There are two porch beds for delicious screened porch sleeping.

Modern amenities in a house built in 1894. But not too modernized!

The house is loaded with jigsaw puzzles and games. Cable & high-speed dual band Wifi included. The dining room table comfortably seats 8 - 10 people. There is also a table that seats 6+ people on the porch and a kitchen table that seats 6. This home is well-loved and well-maintained and not your typical rental. Tree swing, clothesline, and slapping screen doors make the transformation to simpler times complete.

Great cottage
Very nice property, well maintained, excellent condition, great location. We have rented many different cottages in T.I. Park over the last 20 years and we all agreed that this was better equipped than any other cottage we have rented.

About the host

Hosted by Susan Andersen

Host profile image
We are John and Susan Andersen. We live full-time on Wellesley Island. We have 3 adult children and one grandchild, a wonderful Golden Retriever, a cat and a turtle.

Why they chose this property

Our hearts are in this property. John's family has been in T.I.Park since 1931. His dad lives in a cottage on Union St. Our house was lovingly maintained by the Shiro family for about 30 years before we purchased it.

What makes this property unique

We love imagining the history of the house. Most of the windows and doors are original, as are the wide-plank floors. This is one of the few houses in the community that has year-round living, with its own artesian well, insulation, and propane heat. During the summer season, the house is connected to county water and sewer.
