This is a traditional, rustic cottage on the St. Lawrence River in the beautiful Thousand Islands. The cottage has been in our family for nearly 20 years. Howe Island Ferry Road (Gananoque) is a great friendly community that includes mostly American vacationers, recent retirees, and local owners. The road which was built on a man made peninsula leads to one of two ferry's that commute by tow rope to Howe Island. The cottage is 25 minutes from kingston, ON and 5 minutes from Gananoque, ON.The spaceGreat for campers, RV enthusiasts, canoeing, kayaking, fishing, swimming, hunting, and other outdoor activities. There are sometimes spiders and bugs as it is an older cottage. They are not dangerous or poisonous.
