Nestled in the quaint Victorian cottage community of Butternut Bay, this 4 bedroom, very spacious, 1 1/ 2 bath treasured vacation home offers a unique opportunity to enjoy the beautiful St. Lawrence River. A spacious community dock with diving tower and swimming raft is perfect for family fun, but those who prefer more privacy can enjoy the breeze on the private screened porch or large stone patio. Although this is a fairly large cottage, we prefer to limit the guests to five people.
One of the last remaining communities of its kind in the Thousand Islands, Butternut Bay boasts a spectacular collection of century-old gingerbread-style summer homes. Our cottage enjoys a prime location with a breathtaking view of the St. Lawrence. It has been extensively updated in the past few years, while retaining its historic charm.
Because Butternut Bay is an historic community and the cottages are in close proximity to one another, consideration for our neighbors is a part of life. To protect our very special place and to respect our long-time friends, no loud parties and large groups of guests are permitted.
Waterfront: Usage of large community dock and boat slip for a boat up to 22'.
Heating: Yes - baseboard electric heating throughout the downstairs area. These also heat the upstairs.
Guests allowed: Yes, but limited number to visit by day.
The cottage is on two floors, with a large, main floor screened sitting porch, dining room, spacious living room, four-piece bath and a master bedroom with a two-piece en suite bathroom. Upstairs there are three bedrooms and a large screened sleeping porch.
Appliances and equipment in the cottage include a refrigerator, stove, dishwasher, microwave, toaster, coffee maker, BBQ, clothes dryer (no washing machine), cable TV and a DVD player. A blue box is provided and garbage is collected from a community dumpster on a regular basis.
The tap water is drinkable and the cottage operates on a holding tank system for all waste water. We supply pillows, blankets and duvets, but we ask guests to provide their own linens and towels.
Parking for two cars is available behind the cottage.

NOTES June 15-27/19 $1200 REVIEWS | | Dayna |  |
| Our stay at this wonderful cottage was truly fantastic! The spacious layout, especially the large family room and generously sized bedrooms, comfortably accommodated our group of two families. It was the perfect setting for quality time together, with plenty of room for everyone to relax.
The highlight for us was the large screened-in porch facing the St. Lawrence River. Whether enjoying a morning coffee or unwinding with a glass of wine in the evening, the serene views and gentle breeze made these moments memorable.
The cottage is nestled in Butternut Bay which is a lovely community with friendly people, which added to the warmth and charm of our stay. It is close to Brockville for shopping and the large dock and river provided hours of swimming and entertainment for our families. Overall, it was an ideal getaway that combined comfort, space and beautiful surroundings. Highly recommend!

| Lovely classic riverside Ontario cottage. Perfectly maintained, well-equipped (even a/c in the upstairs bedrooms). HUGE rooms. large, well-equipped kitchen. Lovely view from the screened-in porch and the patio and if you can tolerate the temperature of the water, swimming just a 30-second walk from the front door. Owners right next door, helpful, friendly and best of all, despite their proximity not at all intrusive.

| The Anderson Cottage located in the thousand Islands on the St. Lawerence River is a very special place for our family.
Our family thoroughly enjoyed our recent vacation here. We have been renting this cottage for many years and will continue to do so. We look forward to coming every year!
The cottage is lovely and bright with large rooms and a well-equipped kitchen. The best part of the cottage is the large screened-in front porch and the upstairs sleeping porch both of which provide stunning views of the river.
The dock with jumping towers, a diving board, a lily pad and a water trampoline provided hours of entertainment for our 10-year-old son. Our favorite part of our day was swimming in the river and engaging with the friendly Butternut Bay community. We can't wait until next summer to make more family memories.

| Spent a lovely relaxing week at the cottage. The building is over 100 years old but the owners have clearly spent a lot of time on maintenance and upgrades. We typically bring a few kitchen essentials with us when renting a cottage, but there was no need in this case since it is very well equipped. We found it clean and spacious, with wonderful views of the St. Lawrence from the screened-in porch. Loved watching the ships go by and then checking out online their origin and destination. Swimming is easily accessible and the diving tower is handy for the adventurous types.
Butternut Bay is quite close to Brockville, making it an easy destination for a bit of exploring (we were fortunate to be there when the Tall Ships Festival and then the Regatta were on). We also visited the Railway Tunnel, The Mac Johnson Wildlife Area, walked around the downtown area, and visited the plentiful grocery stores. The Thousand Islands Parkway affords lovely views of the St. Lawrence and its many islands with several picnic areas available. Scenic cruises can be taken from either Brockville, Rockport or Gananoque, all within an easy driving distance.
We thank our friendly and accommodating host Denise for a wonderful week. Will highly recommend this to friends and family.

| A Cottage Stay That Won't Disappoint!
The Anderson Cottage nestled along the St Lawrence River is a tiny piece of heaven boosting magnificent views of the Thousand Islands.
Our family thoroughly enjoyed our recent vacation there. The dock with diving tower and swimming raft, stoned patio and ability to watch ships pass by from the dock or the screened porch brought much delight.
The cottage's interior has been beautifully decorated/renovated, offering spacious kitchen and living room plus screened in sleeping porch. It is situated in close proximity to Brockville and Historical Fort Wellington. With gracious hosts and a friendly community this is a cottage to create lasting family memories in.
