This fully remodeled two-bedroom riverfront cottage is an ideal base for exploring the picturesque waters and natural beauty of the Thousand Islands region, known for its expansive archipelago and rich river ecosystems.

Chokecherry Cottage stands out in this area for its inviting interior finished with locally sourced knotty pine tongue-and-groove paneling, evoking a warm, cozy atmosphere that contrasts with the shimmering river views right outside your window.

Sleeping accommodations comfortably house up to six guests with two queen beds and a full futon. The full bathroom and Dish Network TV complete the amenities, ensuring rest and relaxation after adventurous days.

Chippewa Bay is well-known for boating, fishing, and wildlife viewing. The cottage includes one boat slip with the rental, offering convenient access for launching your vessel to explore the river’s vast waterways, islands, and hidden coves. Whether you’re kayaking past towering granite outcrops, fishing for northern pike and smallmouth bass, or paddling through quiet channels, the location is an excellent launching point.

Beyond water activities, visitors appreciate easy access to nearby hiking and cycling paths, rich bird life including bald eagles and great blue herons, and local small-town charm with Chippewa Bay just minutes away.

Guests should note minimum stay preferences vary seasonally: a two-night minimum during spring and fall, and a seven-night preferred stay in peak summer months. Pets are welcome with current vaccinations, while smoking is prohibited indoors, preserving the clean, fresh environment.

Chokecherry Cottage offers a singular opportunity to experience the St. Lawrence River’s outdoor lifestyle without sacrificing comfort.
