Great Getaway

Everything about the cottage and dock were as described. The views were great, quiet, relaxing. The wineries were very good, and the fishing off of the dock was great, we caught perch, catfish, large and small mouth bass. Location was perfect right between downtown Clayton and Alex bay. Susan and Ben responded quickly if we had a question. I would recommend this cottage.

Beautiful

This house was beautiful, it was perfect for our family of 4. The view of the river was stunning. It’s an excellent location. Close to A Bay, Clayton and Wellesley island. Plenty to do and see but also so relaxing just to sit on the dock and watch the big shipping boats go by. We loved every minute we were there and we’d love to come back someday. Thank you Ben and Susan for being such lovely hosts.

Life on the River

View of the river before entering the house confirmed a great choice to spend a week, then entered the house and everything promised was delivered. The kitchen has everything needed-great appliances to an array of wonderful spices. The Great Room looks out over the porch which looks out over the St. Lawrence, many afternoons and evenings spent on the porch watching the ships and boats going by, so tranquil. Travel to Clayton, Alexandria Bay, and many other great areas within 30 minutes. Cleanliness and attention to detail superb.

About the host

Hosted by J. Ben and Susan Primicias

Hello! We are Ben & Susan Primicias and we'd like to welcome you to the St. Lawrence River! We live just 25 minutes away in Watertown, N.Y. and come to the river as often as we can. It is a beautiful place to relax, play, meet new people or just enjoy the peace and tranquility of the river.

Why they chose this property

Our property is located In Fisher's Landing, NY in the town of Orleans. We are situated half way between Alexandria Bay and Clayton, two amazing little "gems" tucked away in the heart of the 1000 Islands. We love this property because it sits right at the water's edge, it is clean and beautiful and ever changing. The wild-life, fishing and ships are amazing and captivating. Sitting on the patio is the most peaceful place to be in the early morning hours as the fog lifts, drift fisherman float by, and fish jump right in front of you. It just never gets old!

What makes this property unique

We had this cottage remodeled after we purchased it in 2013. We had the ceiling raised, installed new floors, windows, granite countertops, and bathrooms. We added a driveway, sidewalk and stone wainscoting around the cottage. The open floor plan allows you see everything that happening on the river at anytime. We installed new curtains for privacy which added to the coziness of the cottage as well as central air and heat. The spacious front porch is like having an additional room to entertain. It affords a full view of ships and boats in the channel and the perfect place to watch the spectacular river sunsets.
